Seems like a much better professional wrestling debut than Snooki’s former “Jersey Shore” castmate Angelina, at least. Either way, good for Snooki. In the past calendar year, she’s defeated former WWE Women’s Champion Michelle McCool, starred on cable’s highest rated TV show, and become a NY Times best-selling author. How many times has Malcolm Gladwell beaten a WWE Diva? Has to be less than 10,000. |
| VIDEO: Watch someone (or simply fast-forward through) a 999-hit combo in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Posted: 03 Apr 2011 12:00 PM PDT If you’re like me, you will actually sit and watch the entire thing. I suppose my favorite part is when there’s a slight lag between hits, when it’s clear that the player’s hands are getting sweaty or is simply lost a bit of his or her (what I am say, of course it’s probably a dude) concentration. I also dug seeing how high they were able to go. Okay, since I know that clip isn’t up everyone’s alley, time to pull out an oldie but a goodie. After so many years, it never fails to make me laugh… Though nothing will ever top this all time greatest fighting game clip ever. There’s a TON of back story here, like how one guy had been fighting in a manner that wasn’t necessarily dirty, but not all that “cool” with those who take such stuff seriously either, and how the other was fighting for the honor of his fallen friend, who lost due to the aforementioned uncouth tactics, along with how he came back from the brink of destruction by pulling off a move that by itself is difficult to do, let alone 20 times in a row. Okay, I’ll shut up now… |
| VIDEO: The Forza 4 video that Microsoft doesn’t want you to see Posted: 03 Apr 2011 09:00 AM PDT Which makes zero sense because it totally makes one go “Gran Turismo who?” Okay, maybe that’s an exaggeration, but the game does look pretty damn hawt thus far. Apparently the clip above is a pitch video, purely for internal departments only, that somehow got leaked. So in that sense, any excitement might be unwarranted due to the final product not necessarily resembling what the video demonstrates. Then again, Forza 3 wasn’t half bad… actually, it was pretty damn good, but most folks I know reacted with “well, it looks nice and all, but I’m just gonna wait for GT5.” Which is finally somewhat old news, hence the chance for the franchise to finally shine. Anyway, there is zero question that once part 3 was in the can, Turn 10 went straight to work on part 4. The thing that gets me the most excited is the front-end, or at least I hope all that fancy graphic design embellishment is indeed in the game and not just for the presentation. And the promised “Hollywood-styled effects” could also be quite the nice added touch, since it helped to made Split/Second (the most underrated racer of this generation, imho, btw) so memorable and would be a nice contrast to the ever-increasingly bland looking Gran Turismo. Though I don’t get all the social aspects, which is barely explained, and easily the one part that screams that it’s ultimately the creation of the marketing department. That and the Rob Zombie soundtrack. Forza 4 pitch video pulled by Microsoft [Joystiq] |
| 7 of the most disturbing (yet kind of cool) Japanese inventions Posted: 03 Apr 2011 05:00 AM PDT Since we crank out so many stories each week some really good ones get lost in the cracks. And since so many new people visit Guyism every day (thank you), we thought we’d start taking some time on the weekends to share some classics that many of our newer readers may have missed. Dubbed the "Mother of Invention" by many, the Land of the Rising Sun has forever been a hotbed of technology, arts and science; without Japan, we wouldn't have had some of our everyday dude essentials: instant Ramen, CDs, the Sony Walkman (see: the ability to rock out to Bat Out of Hell ANY time, ANY place), digital cameras, drunk karaoke or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze. But the Japanese also win the prize for being some seriously sick puppies, and not just for their used panties vending machines and penchant for wayward tentacles. While many other reports on inventions hailing from Japan have cited the weird, wacky and pointless (silly inventions termed chindogu, meaning "useless ideas"), I decided to take it a step further. 7 Placenta Drink (2008) 6 Mind-Controlled Robots (2009) 5 Crystal Meth (1893) 4 Noodle Eater's Hair Guard (1990s) 3 The Flea Bomb (1940) 2 Portable Bottom Washer (1997) 1 Sega Toy's "Near Me" Cat (2004) |
Because nothing quenches your thirst like animal fetus casing, Japanese beauty company Nihon Sofuken created the 
As cool as this may sound, keep in mind that the disturbing part isn't the robot – it's that all we have to do is THINK something, and a robot will do it. Not to mention the contraption you have to strap to your head to make it work. The Japanese government and tech industry aim to make the most of our brain power, and, according to Agence France Press and PopSci.com, we can expect to see everything from mind-controlled smart phones to TVs within the next decade. 
Developed from ephedrine by Japanese chemist Nagai Nagayoshi in 1893 and then synthesized as crystals 26 years later, crystal methamphetamine was supposed to be used to treat certain clinical disorders, but instead has become the naughty, brain-damaging candy of today's Charlie Sheens and lesser-off club kids. 
Haloing your face in all of its pink rubber glory, the Noodle Eater's Hair Guard is exactly that – a contraption that fits neatly around your face to keep that pesky noodle-broth-splatter where it belongs. Also makes a great gift for the girlfriend who wants to keep her hair splooge-free in the bedroom. Yeah, I went there. 
Also known as "plague fleas," these bombs were developed in Japan during by the notorious covert Japanese biological and chemical warfare unit of World War II (and other wars), Unit 731. As part of Japan's germ warfare attacks against enemies, plague-infested fleas encased in bombs were dropped on targets, causing cholera and anthrax outbreaks and thousands of deaths.
