Munny Madness

March 30th, 2006 · No Comments

Two more hot Munny customs. LIV3R and his buddy Rohby jammed to make Soundwave and Bumblebee. Bumblebee may be the weakest of all of the Transformers, but he sure looks good as a Munny.

Shane’s Daily Hotness - GI Phone

March 30th, 2006 · 3 Comments

New DVD Day - Laugh your A$$ off!

March 28th, 2006 · No Comments

Today might very well be the funniest New DVD day ever. And, since most of these shows don’t air in Canada, none of the retail stores are stocking them. I had to ask the staff at Best Buy and Future Shop to dig these gems up, and most store only ordered one copy. […]

GDC - The Week in Review

March 27th, 2006 · No Comments

First - apologies, it turns out that half of my posts that I sent from my phone didn’t make it to the site. Whether it’s a problem with the phone, my roaming coverage, Flickr’s blogging access or Wordpress I have no idea, but they didn’t show up on my site.
