Popular “Civilization World” Now for Facebook

Sid Meir’s Civilization is one of the most popular strategy games around for the PC. It’s great mainly because of how in-depth the game is. The player balances an economy, population, and wealth all while defending as well as warring with other civilizations to make sure your civilization is the greatest of all. Now take that and put it on facebook and you have something interesting.

2K Games is working on Civilization World which seems like an appropriate name given the platform. Facebook will add a social aspect that brings the experience to another level. Granted, its a dumbed down version of the game so no fancy graphics, however, you can cooperate or play against friends throughout the game without investing too much time. Definitely seems like something I’m willing to try out.

Nokia N9 – Embodiment of Sexiness

So Nokia just debuted their newest device – the Nokia N9 and it is getting A LOT of buzz. I believe this is because Nokia has a lot of people rooting for it. Symbian just wasn’t cutting it though to be quite frank and if the videos and images hold up we are all in for a refreshing treat! You can find the full press release here, but the high points are as follows:

The phone’s sexy curves are made from a fancy-schmancy piece of “polycarbonate” which should make it hard to spot scratches. They did away with that annoying button on the face present in the N8 and E7 and just have one multipurpose button to the side (besides the volume rocker). You can also double tap the screen which will “wake” the phone. You can then swipe across the full length of the phone horizontally or vertically to get to the home screen. This gesture is also how you get in and out of apps quickly.

The phone is sporting an 8 MP camera with a Carl Zeiss auto-focus lens. The display is a 3.9 inch curved piece of Gorilla Glass. The N9 also comes with NFC (Near Field Communication) which means tap to play or pay with other devices which support NFC functionality are a go!

It doesn’t look like Nokia have set a definite date, but it’s supposed to drop sometime “later this year”

 

 

 

Easy Six Pack in Seconds!

Now this Horrible awesome new product puts a whole new meaning to fast results. Abs just not what they used to be? Too busy to care? Well you’ll love this product called the “Ab-Hancer.” It literally takes your existing folds and molds them into a six pack shape thus making the old-fashioned work out a thing of the past. Women have padded bras and now we too have a tool to fool the opposite sex into thinking we are more attractive than we really are.  I just hope they come out with one for the chest cause this man bra chafes! Thanks for sending in Cat.

Acting UnManly

Was appalled at the behavior of this young man on the train this past Memorial Day Weekend. The young man, trying to assert himself, was yelling and disrespecting his girlfriend. As he continued to curse her out in public. After please to calm down the young man hit the woman in the chin with his elbow feigning ignorance of the act. The below was the result.
