Ditching Cable, Continued – Setting up Your Cheap HTPC

A short while ago I detailed an easy and cheap HTPC solution to turn an unused room into a personal movie theater. While I gave you a basic run down of what you might need, I never showed you how to set any of it up. Now it’s time to get into the meat of the setup and get this puppy rolling.

The first thing we’ll want to consider is hardware location and any potential mounting issues. In my house the living room is best described as “cozy” and provides some very unique challenges for setting up even a television. Throw in a couch and chair set and you find yourself working with a short space indeed. To solve this particular problem a simple $15 component shelf makes an

Hanna Soundtrack – The Chemical Brothers

A few months ago I posted a trailer for the upcoming child-assassin movie Hanna, featuring Eric Banna, and a very creepy looking Saoirse Ronan. If you haven’t …

Terell Safadi – New Track and Hanging with Bone Thugs

We interviewed Terell Safadi almost a year ago right when he was gaining popularity in British Columbia with Vancouver Canucks anthem, ‘Black, Red, Yellow’. Since then, he’s been busy touring around Canada with big names and his single ‘Ring Around the Rozay’ made its round on Much Music.

Only a few weeks ago, he had the privilege of being the open act for my absolute favorite rap group, Bone-Thugs-N-Harmony. Terell had the opportunity to travel on a 13 date tour across Canada with the Bone Thugs crew from BC all the way to Nova Scotia. Upon completion of the tour, he collaborated with ‘Young Kidd’ on a track called Jackpot.

Boblefotball – Have You Got The Balls For Bubble Soccer?

Soccer is one of those sports that somehow manages to simultaneously maintain both the most ravenous die-hard fans in the world, and the attitude that most footie players are giant wussbags. Largely, this comes down the the fact that tackling vs. foul tackling is hotly debated, and acting as though you may die right there on the pitch is pretty common (especially when someone kicks nowhere near you.) The best way to man soccer up a bit? Let everyone smash the shit out of each other all the time- but don’t worry for the pretty faces of your euro stars… Boblefotball is here, and it means bubble soccer; you’re going to want to see this video.

Come on Down! The Best (Worst) Game Show Answers of All Time

Despite my being a well read 21st century man who has no need for television, I do find myself missing it from time to time. Now it’s not the cliched stories, or the overblown acting of your nightly drama tale. I’m also not interested in the myriad reality shows, or talent searches. No, what I miss is the game show. It’s that quintessential American past time of watching people being put on the proverbial spot. Ticking clocks, rapid fire answers, and the pressure of the crowd. It all makes for a glorious show.

Now of course it isn’t all that excitement for the contestant that gets me riled up for a good game show. It’s the unscripted aspect of the responses from the contestants of the show which makes it a great. Just look at this video, there must be
