It seems like only yesterday when those few lucky thousand were unwrapping what would soon be the new standard in video games. All the excitement and glee surrounding the Nintendo Wii was phenomenal; wireless, infrared-sensored controls? Amazing! I know I had to show everyone who came over how much cooler it was to play tennis on a screen rather than in real life. However, a few weeks later, the thrill sort of died down,...

I am a huge Simpsons fan. I still Tivo the 6:00, 7:30, and 11:00 episodes even though I have all the DVD's. One of my best friends and I have entire conversations based on Simpsons quotes. My background image on my computer is a screen capture of Marge holding a box of the "number three cracker company", Allied Biscuit. And yet, at the risk of sounding pretentious, I just couldn't get into the movie....

Did you know that our friends across the pond, in all their subtle humored-glory, have a prank phone calling show all their own? I think Crank Yankers could learn a thing or two from these guys. Or its quite possible that its only funny if you're high. Either way, give it a look and tell us what you think....

This past weekend, five thousand people traveled from all over to attend Giant's Summer Block Party featuring the world renowned DJ Armin van Buuren. LA's awesome downtown skyline only added to the fantastic ambiance of lights, smoke, and beautiful summer weather. Check out a few pics and another video from the show after the jump....

And I'm not talking about the good kind of of bust. It all started on that fair day in April when I noticed the seductive billboard just west of Coldwater Canyon on Ventura blvd. You know, right next to that sketchy Days Inn that's so awkwardly placed in between the trendy Il Tramezzino and 24/7 Twain's? Anyway, it advertised a vague yet intriguing event known as Erotica LA. Naturally I felt it to be...

Lisa already beat me to the Sgt. Pepper punch, but here is yet another celebratory homage to one of the most incendiary albums in rock history. So, in the spirit of the times, sit back and enjoy the following Sgt. Pepper facts and trivia. I got all this information from a Beatles class I took my senior year in college, so I just dusted off the old notebook and chose some of my favorites....

Attention all gamers: Guess what, there's a new video game expo in town. No, I'm not talking about the enormously underwhelming downsized version of E3, but an aptly titled "E for All" convention. Amidst the drug-infused connotations of the show's title, E for All will be a more consumer-based spectacle geared directly towards nerdy and sexy gamers alike. From the E for All website: "Entertainment for All™ Expo (E for All) is the event...

Let's be real. Finding good Indian food in LA is kind of like finding good Mexican food north of LA. You all have that friend from some Midwest town, who swears that King Taco has nothing on the burritos he knows back home, where the closest he's had to a Mexican experience is watching Ricky Ricardo on I Love Lucy. No matter what ethnic fare strikes your own palette, you'll inevitably suffer through at least...
