Simply Fab: Michael Jackson Tribute Tee

FabSugar — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 03:00:22 -0700

If you're going to pay respect to Michael Jackson, this is how you do it. In honor of the late and great King of Pop, Intermix and e.vil have teamed up to create a cool tee emblazoned with an image of the singer's iconic Moonwalk. I like the burnout effect and how the image is slightly faded. Pair it with black jeans, loafers, and you're set! Sadly, the exclusive tee is not available online but can be found at all Intermix locations.

Repetition is key to learning, growth, and success. Or so they say.

Evil Villain in Training

GiggleSugar — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 12:00:00 -0800

I don't know why anyone would train a kid to laugh like a demonic hyena but to each her own. In the overall scheme of things, cute overcomes evil - bwahahahaha! - so this little dude's still got some charm. Watch him work it.

Baby Gives "The Evil Look"

This little cutie will turn his adorable giggle into a scowl before you can say, "Whatchoo clowning 'bout, Willis?" Someone please get this boy his own sitcom.

The Making of an Evil Villain

Watch this little devil snatch the loot, take a bite, and then laugh in the face of his parental co-conspirator. He knows how to get what he wants, even when it's out of reach. Is it just me, or does this cookie monster have an eerie, almost evil, undertone to his giggle? Bwahahaha!

Resident Evil 5 Review: Bottom Line? It's Really Fun

GeekSugar — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 10:03:52 -0700

After partying it up at the SF Resident Evil 5 launch event, I was more than excited to really dig my teeth into the game over the weekend. Although it comes onto the scene after the massive popularity of Resident Evil 4, RE5 really takes over where the original left off - with Chris Redfield large, in charge, and out to track down the source of the Umbrella Corps bioweapons, which have been used to turn an entire African country of Kijuju into "Majini" or evil spirits if you speak Swahili.

If you aren't good at third person shooters, or just don't play horror titles in general, I encourage you to pick up this game and give it a try anyway. Not only is it really fun, but it sucks you right in. And even if you aren't familiar with the RE franchise, it's totally OK - you can pick up the plot right away, plus, you get a history lesson throughout the game via facts that are splashed across your screen while scenes are loading.

Obviously, not all is well in this fictional African country, so to find out what I love (and kinda hate) about this game, just read more.

Forget all the criticisms you've heard about the plot not being good enough, or not being up to par with other recent games like Metal Gear Solid 4. The bottom line is, this game is really fun. I turn this game off at the end of the day being totally satisfied. Mostly because I love my shotgun (it does some pretty good damage), but also because the graphics are great, the controls are easy to pick up, and the sounds of far-off evil spirits really get me in the mood to take them down and save the country. Woah. I'm turning into G.I. Jane or something over here.

Another great feature in RE5 is the co-op play. For the first time, you and a friend can battle the Majini together. Better yet, if your partner gets tired of blowing through humans possessed by evil spirits, they can leave then come back any time they want. That's right folks, you don't have to go at it alone - a friend can jump in whenever she feels like it. Which is a really good thing since one of the more irritating points in the game is your AI partner, Sheva Alomar. Be warned - this chick has some issues. She's supposed to be there to have your back, but sometimes when you're in the middle of a serious battle, she may disappear to look for ammo, herbs, or hey, even some gold coins. There was one time when she was supposed to "cover me" in a dark tunnel since I picked up a lantern to light the way, but when it came time to give said cover, she was no where to be found. I swear, if you want something done right . . .

Overall, Resident Evil 5 is worth the pricey $60 sticker. Although you might find some frustrations, mostly with your AI partner, the fact that you can't organize or switch your weapons in a paused menu environment (which proves tricky when you run out of bullets in your shotgun and need to switch to your magnum with a bunch of possessed tribal guys coming after you), and the restricted movements while shooting (you can't even shoot and run at the same time), I think you'll be able to overlook all that and enjoy the ride.

Resident Evil 5 is out now for $60 on your Xbox 360 and PS3 systems.

geeksugar Goes Inside SF's Resident Evil 5 Launch Party

GeekSugar — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 10:16:31 -0700

How appropriate that Resident Evil 5 would launch today, Friday the 13th, since it's one of the creepiest games ever. And if you needed proof that the series is a true crowd-pleaser, try this fact on for size: Resident Evil 4 sold 5.2 million copies since its 2005 release, and the entire series has sold more than 36 million copies since it first appeared on the scene in 1996. And speaking of crowds, the one that gathered outside the launch tent in San Francisco's Union Square last night was packed with gamers who were not only waiting to get an early peek at the game, but also anxiously watching the clock until midnight arrived so they could head home with a copy of their own.

The thumping music coming from inside the tent was just the beginning - there were games, giveaways, cell phone engravings, and energy drinks (a geeks' drink of choice) being passed around to keep the party going until the clock struck 12.

To hear more about the event, and to find out what my favorite part of the night was, just read more.

Not only were there free "health" vials filled with M&M's (I'm always down for free candy), but the creators and developers of the RE series, as well as the actors that lended their voices to the game were on hand to mingle with the crowd. And although it was exciting to meet the voice of Chris Redfield live and in person, my favorite part of the evening was the screaming contest that had you letting loose in a sound booth to see who could scream the loudest. I almost won . . . so close.

You can get your hands on a copy of Resident Evil 5 today for your Xbox and PS3 systems ($60), but be sure to check back on Monday for my full review of the game!

LesserEvil KettleCorn, Yummy and Low-Cal

FitSugar — Mon, 29 Jan 2007 04:00:00 -0800

My good friend Yum recently paid a visit to the Fancy Food Show in San Francisco and she brought me some great low calorie products to try and pass on the cream of the crop to you.

I must say that in many cases I was less than thrilled with the tastelessness of this year's low calories buzz. One product that exceeded my expectations was LesserEvil KettleCorn (depending on where you shop, they sell for a little over $1.00 per bag). This sweet (and salty) popcorn only packs in 120 calories in the bag, and the bag is big in comparison to most 100 calorie snack bags out there. It taste just like the kettlecorn I remember eating as a kid, but the LesserEvil KettleCorn:

is All Natural
is Low Fat
has No Trans-Fats
has No High Fructose Corn Syrup
has No Artificial Colors
has No Artificial Flavors
has No Preservatives
is Gluten Free
is Whole Grain

Sounds like it should have zero taste either, but it really does taste good. Keep a bag around for those times when you're looking for a sweet (and salty) treat to satisfy some serious snacking needs. Buy it online from LesserEvil.com.

Not Evil Just Wrong - New Film to Take on Al Gore

LibertySugar — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 10:30:42 -0800

The new documentary Not Evil Just Wrong challenges so-called "global warming hysteria." The Irish filmmakers behind the project believe the effort to save the planet only hurts the poor, and they hope the film will discredit "alarmists" like Al Gore.

The film presents some alleged inconvenient truths that counter Al Gore. In the trailer, the Nobel Peace Prize winner is presented as a dark fearmongerer demanding that people drastically change the way they live, or that factories close and take away millions of jobs. Those in the documentary emotionally explain that such efforts destroy industry and ultimately cost people's lives.

Do you think this documentary could change your view of global warming?
