Only in America | Ford F350 6×6 Pickup Truck

February 4th, 2012 | Gear, Headlines, P.O.V. | 0 Comments

This goes out to my best friend Robert in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Robert and I have been friends since we were 16 and he moved to the USA when we were 20. That year the most common phrase that came out of his mouth was “Only in America!” It usually went something like this: 128 oz fountain Coke for $0.99? ONLY in America! Read More

February 3rd, 2012 | A/V Club, Gear, Headlines | 0 Comments

First up I know a lot of you are thinking HUMMER? Really? Look, this isn’t the bright yellow grocery getter that soccer moms in Jersey drive to Target on the weekends. This is a fucking military vehicle rebranded for the streets and it is awesome! Sure, it’s part of the reason we had to go to war for oil, but it’s also the reason America is awesome. Let’s get down to brass tacks with this one. Read More

Sale Season | NYC | Designer Clothes

January 26th, 2012 | Gear, P.O.V. | 0 Comments

Post, post Christmas sales kick ass. Retail boutiques generally have a high influx of customers before the holiday season, then things drop off. That is the time to buy. In New York City many of the high end clothing companies are having sales in their retail outlets. I saw a pair of $600 boots in Rag & Bone for $120 last weekend with the majority of their winter footwear and winter gear on sale. A.P.C., the company that makes my favorite denim, is having a sale on shirts, sweaters and outerwear. If you are looking for some new duds and live in NYC or were thinking of taking a trip, this weekend and next weekend is the time to move. Retail is ready to bring in their Spring lines so take advantage of these sales before everything gets split up between Marshalls, GUILT, ETC. Even if you only rock what you get for a few weeks before it gets warm again, you will still have dope gear for next winter at half the price. Just a tip!

CES 2012 – Best of Samsung – The Return of the Vacuum Tube

January 13th, 2012 | Gear | 0 Comments

CES is a massive, massive tradeshow. It’s in the Las Vegas Convention Center which is 3.2 Million square feet. Think of it this way. It’s the size of 18 Wal-Mart Supercenter’s and then it is cut up into thousands of smaller booths and hallways. The Samsung exhibit reminded me of just how big this building is. Samsung’s booth had walls and a ceiling and was at leas the size of a Best Buy. After being in there for about 45 minutes I asked someone how to get back into the convention center and after a confused look they said you’re in it. Anyways, here’s the best of what Samsung has to offer for 2012. Read More

CES 2012 – LG – 3D TV Dual Play Fullscreen & Cloud Gaming

January 12th, 2012 | A/V Club, Gear, P.O.V., Travel | 0 Comments

hahaha, I know a lot of you will read this title and be like what the fuck does that even mean? Let me tell you THIS Jerry! LG totally fucking killed it this year. I used to think, what’s the deal with buying name brand electronics? I love my Dynex and Insignia flat screens. They are super cheap, and look great! But, they don’t have these features. LG offers a 3dTV for gamers that allows two players to play each other on one screen and yet they can’t see each other’s moves on the same screen. (watch the video for an explanation) LG also debuted their cloud gaming service. This is for the lighter gamers out there and would allow you to play some dope video games without an xBox or Wii, all through the LG tv. Read More
