Tekken 6 Limited Edition Wireless Fight Stick Bundle
A new Hori wireless fight stick will be available in a pre-order bundle for Tekken 6. While these probably won’t go as fast as the Street Fighter IV tournament sticks, it’s probably a smart idea still to pre-order the bundle (which includes the game, wireless stick, and artbook for $150) just in case.

Olympus E-P1
Rarely is there a camera released that makes me fall in love with photography all over again. But the Olympus E-P1 ($749) does just that. It’s not a point and shoot and it’s not an SLR. It’s a PEN. The first-generation Olympus PEN appeared in 1959 and led the way to high-quality images in a
Buffy vs. Edward Cullen – Twilight Remixed
Brilliant editing by the Rebellious Pixels crew! In this remixed narrative, Edward Cullen from the Twilight Series meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It’s an example of transformative storytelling serving as a pro-feminist visual critique of Edward’s character and generally creepy behavior. Seen through Buffy’s eyes some of the more patriarchal gender roles and sexist Hollywood
Street Fighter IV T-Shirts
I’m sure you all know my love for Street Fighter by now, so I decided to create a few t-shirts in honor of the latest Street Fighter IV series. Do to licensing issues, I wasn’t able to use any Capcom character designs, but I dug deep and created tees only a hardcore SFIV player could
Olivia Munn Playboy Pics
Olivia Munn of G4TV fame and dream girl of geeks world wide, made it onto the cover of Playboy magazine. Playboy found her such a catch that she didn’t even have to get naked for the magazine. Somehow, I don’t get. I thought Playboy was a nudie mag? This might as well be a Maxim
Justin Wong Narrowly Defeats John Choi at Devastation 2009
Justin Wong wins another Street Fighter IV title. He narrowly defeated seasoned Street Fighter veteran John Choi at Devastation 2009 (arguably the 2nd largest SF tournament event trailing only behind EVO). Given that John is fairly new to the SFIV series and hasn’t played the game any near as long as Justin has, it was

Christina Milian x Maxim

Steven Ho – Stunt Coordinator on Conan O’Brien
Veteran stuntman and coordinator Steven Ho teaches The Tonight Show host Conan O’Brien a few stunt tricks. Conan is pretty quick to catch on to the fight choreography and is quite a good sport about getting sucker punched in the gut. He learns everything from “how to take a punch” to “how to fly 30
