The shorts are perfect, they do everything advertised. They hold the cup very close and secure unlike other shorts which can leave a very dangerous space. They never ride up your leg and they don't chafe. The include cup is great as well. The only con is the price.

My review
I once read a review of this game which described it as "must be played with your shirt off." While the comment is slightly sexist, and very ludicrous, I think it does properly describe the overt manliness that the action in this game exudes. Need to get some information out of a poor old man? Why not bash his head against a block of concrete over and over with your bare hands? Need to fly across an enormous canyon to reach your destination? Why not rip Icarus' wings right off his back and use them as your own, as you plummet to an otherwise imminent death miles above solid ground?
In God of War 2, you play as Kratos the newly crowned God of War, fresh off your victory over the former, Ares. Zeus, wary of losing his own crown as the ruler of Olympus, and all Gods, decides to forcibly remove all non-mortal powers from you. Thus, your mission throughout the game is to take back what is rightfully yours, and seek revenge on Zeus for his betrayal. The gameplay is very similar to the first installment, fight through hordes of Greek mythological enemies and icons with a range of weapons; including giant bladed chains to enormous hammers and spears. Along the way, solve puzzles which impede you from getting to the next area. Sony/SCE Studios do a very good job in balancing these two game elements, providing quite a fun experience throughout the entire game. This really was one of the best games to come out for the PS2.

I really want to just type "best show ever created in the history of television" and be done with the review. That's how good it is, it shouldn't need explanation, it just is. If you don't agree, you don't deserve to rate this!
In all seriousness, HBO really raised the bar of television when they released this season. Noone had even come to close to creating a show with such production value, incredible acting, and compelling storyline all in one (besides maybe themselves). I highly recommend picking this series up from the start, and it's very likely you'll want to watch it all the way through to season 5.

Being an MMA fan, I kind of have to love Affliction. Plus, they make some of the most creative designs I've ever seen an apparel line put out. On top of that, they release new products what seems like every other week. Pretty amazing.
Order Affliction PPV's to support their new promotion. Give UFC some real competition!

I had never previously played an RTS before I played Warcraft III, and I really did not know what I was missing. What a great genre! There is just something about playing a real time strategy against live opponents online. It takes gaming to a whole new level - boring computer AI becomes almost unplayable. On top of that, noone comes close to creating an RTS like Blizzard.
With the ability to create hero classes on top of normal units, WC3 raised the bar for RTSs. This Frozen Throne expansion added new units, heroes, items and structures on top of the ones released with the original, Reign of Chaos. This game has by far the largest e-sport following out of any non-FPS game in the market. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are given away in tournaments for the top WC3 players of the world.

My review
A good way to describe this show is just to list out some of the episode titles; "The Gang Gets Racist," "Charlie Got Molested," "The Gang Goes Jihad". "Irreverence is the cocktail of the day" (as a Netflix editorial describes it) for 4 friends who own a bar in "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia".
People compare the show to Seinfeld, Arrested Development and Curb Your Enthusiasm, but I'm not a fan of any of those shows. It's so funnier than any of them. I think a better analogy is South Park in sitcom form. Most people think Charlie, played by Charlie Kelly, is the funniest character on the show, but I'm more of a Dee fan, played by Kaitlin Olson, the only female lead in the show. She has some of the best facial expressions of any actress I've seen. Danny DeVito doesn't show up until about the 7th episode, and kinda takes away from a bit of the chemistry, in my opinion. Most people love him in this though. Some classic lines from the show should get you familiar with the type of comedy you can expect (curtesy of IMDb): "I'm a recovering crackhead and this is my retarded sister that I take care of. I'd like some welfare please." "I hate listening to people's dreams. It is like flipping through a stack of photographs. If I'm not in any of them and nobody is having sex, I just don't care. " "I mean you, me, talking like this. It just isn't going to work. you got kids, and you talk about them and your dead husband its really bumming me out"

One of Nirvana's hardest, electric-guitar heavy releases, and it really shows in the amount of emotion that comes through in each song. Because of this, Insecticide is less commercially popular than their other albums such as MTV Unplugged in New York and Nevermind, but probably my favorite.
The lyrics alone are worth the price of the CD. 99% of bands should not write their own songs. Bob Dylan was a pioneer in this regard; he was both a true singer and songwriter. Kurt Cobain showed that there still were some artists who can and should do both. My personal top songs on this album would have to be Stain, Hairspray Queen, and Turnaround. Based on popularity Molly's Lips and Polly would probably be their most famous.

By far, the greatest acoustic album of the entire '90s. Kurt Cobain puts on an absolutely spectacular performance, showing just how talented and versatile he really is.
Normal studio releases from Nirvana tend to be a bit too heavy, hard for most people, so this album appeals to a much wider audience. At the same time, it really does not lose any of the emotion that usually comes with an unplugged version.

My review
One of the best UFC events of all time. Almost every fight on the card ended up being great. The main event itself is a bit of a let down due to an injury from an unintentional blow, but is still pretty entertaining. Gonzaga once again shows how underrated his Muay Thai skills are, while Couture displays unbelievable lasting power and athleticism for a 44 year old.
The Georges St-Pierre/Josh Koscheck fight is quite remarkable with very unexpected successful approaches from one of the fighters. St-Pierre shows how badly he wants his title back and Koscheck displays his amazing athleticism while trying to prove that his win over Diego Sanchez was no fluke. The Frank Mir and Babalu fights demonstrate what incredible beasts they both are. However, I have never seen such a poor representation of the UFC as a sport as what was displayed in the Babalu/Heath fight. Not only was the fight allowed to go on FAR FAR too long (I really have never complained about this before), but when a fighter purposefully ignores a tap out of spite, that is just absurd. Overall, highly recommended for MMA fans new to the sport or vets who want to relive great fights of the past. Get your fill of knockouts and submissions with this great release!

Stealing cars, beating up pedestrians, taking your date(s!) to strip clubs and being an all around bad boy. Those are the kinds of things you do when playing GTA IV, and that's if if you are VERY conservative.
The game is set in what is essentially a small version of NYC, but with all different names. The main plot line involves living the life of Niko, a European immigrant to the US, who tags along with his cousin Roman partaking in all sorts of illegal activities to pay the bills and more. I played this at my friend's apartment this past weekend, and we had about 5 people watching us play, including 4 females. I have never in my entire life seen people so amused JUST WATCHING a video game. Half the crowd was dying on the floor laughing at the ludicrous events that took place along the plot line. Especially the dating related scenes. A significant piece of the side plot lines is going on dates with random girlfriends, and you can take them just about anywhere. Driving over pedestrians along the way to the bowling alley hardly seems to bother your girls. However, firing your shotgun at a random group of civilians on a first, that's a bit too much for her to stick around. Don't worry - call her back in 5 minutes and she'll give you another shot (pun intended!).

One of the top 10 hip-hop albums of all time, in my opinion. Tribe brought quality, positive lyrics on an release that alot of people can relate to. I think the song "Stressed Out" was even performed on Nickelodeon (I don't know how I know this!!); that is quite the feat for a album that even the most hardcore of hip-hop fans praise.
If you like laid back, chill, inspiring hip-hop with great lyrics than Tribe Called Quest is definitely your style. Check out De La Soul or Digable Planets for a similar sound, and also great artists.
