GBGN 00181 300x266 Recycled Grenade Bug Bomb Makes Peace Not WarLooking at this piece of art reminds me of when hippies put flowers in the barrels of guns. The Recycled Grenade Bug Bomb from Perpetual Kid is handmade by artist Fred Conlon. Consisting of recycled components, this creepy looking fly sports a grenade for its body, bent screws for legs, and pieces of smooth metal for wings. Fly or grenade, its still kind of creepy looking, but atleast something that could kill gets another chance at being somebody else’s art.  The Recycled Grenade Bug Bomb retails for $49.99.

sportbike 300x216 Sharpie Lets Loose on a Honda Sportsbike There are multiple uses for a Sharpie, but I guess I never pictured someone using it to design their motorcycle! Sharpie is sponsoring Sharpieuncapped.com,  a place for folks to go to upload their Sharpie masterpieces. One such Sharpie piece of work is a a Honda Sportbike, which got a full on Sharpie tagging.  Friends Jesse Lockhart and Nick Schuman took it upon themselves to to use 4 black Sharpie markers and together ( even with 9 to 5 jobs) into the wee ours of the night, they both marked up their $10,000 Motorbike. So why did they do this? Both Jesse and Nick are opening up their own custom paint shop and wanted to do something that would get them and their business noticed. In the end they named it Shiyonin, meaning “Servant of God,” and they aren’t even done

Bionic Commando XBox 360 Review

By Joseph Damanti

August 2nd, 2009

514MDESrIxL. SS350  214x300 Bionic Commando XBox 360 ReviewBased on the original Bionic Commando from Nintendo, Capcom decided to bring it back and give it a whirl with updated graphics and game play. Well they should have left it alone. The story starts with Nathan Spencer, the Bionic Commando being brought back into action by the same force that imprisoned him after he led the bionic commandos to victory 10 years earlier. The game is pretty mediocre at best. The pace of the game is pretty steady and fast. The best part was the awesome one liners when you killed someone such as “Kick A$$ or “I Would hate to be that guy”, very amusing for a horrible game. The worst is the extra long tutorial they put in which is helpful but very drawn out.
