Real blokes don't need to talk to get what they want. The Macho Man Point-it Book makes it even easier. This cool book has 15 pages with giant pictures of the finer things in life: Beer, Meat, Football, Sex, Remote Control, Chainsaw etc. All you need to do is point - "Because real macho men don't waste time talking!"
This disc will undoubtedly be the first hot record of the new year. Merriweather Post Pavillion is the latest full-length studio album from Animal Collective - the intriguing and avant-garde experimental music group out of the States. The new record is an amplification of all the traits that have defined the band's style in previous albums, but it is far more accessible to newcomers. If you are ready for an adventure into the Animal Collective's strange little world, get the new album on LP, digital or CD.
The World of Goo is one of the gems of 2008. The game is a horribly addictive puzzle game from an indie game studio - made by only two people. The object of the game is to use pieces of Goo to build structures to get other Goo to the exit pipe. This horrendously cool game has a twisted graphic and sound style and lots of variation. It is available for Mac, Windows, Wii and Linux (soon).
A Dirty Job stars Charlie who is a pretty normal beta male-type bloke. He lives a normal (read boring) life until it is turned on its head when his wife dies. His adventure starts as he becomes soul collector in a crazy world.
Christopher Moore tackles the morbid topic of death with a whimsical and humorous attitude. This cool book is laugh out loud funny and definitely worth a read.
Wes is a regular guy, though a bit of a nobody who isn't having a great time with life. His girlfriend is cheating on him, he has a dead end job and his best friend is taking advantage of him. Enter Fox (Angelina Jolie) to completely flip his world.
This film is a bit far fetched and completely bizarre in places, but that is part of the attraction. Cool special effects and tons of action - its out now on DVD and is well worth a watch.
This role-playing game is an epic masterpiece from the same people who brought us Oblivion. Set in the post-apocalyptic United States, you start in an isolated underground vault before you leave to adventure into a limitless wasteland in search of your father. Fallout 3 has stunning visual effects and many hours of gameplay with many side-missions. This game is definitely worth a look.
Definitely our film of the year. Out now on DVD. If you haven't watch the film, go and watch it. If you have get the DVD. The Dark Knight is a stunning film with great performances, most notably from Heath Ledger.
Get your popcorn popping, Iron Man is for all the comic book fans. Even if you haven't read the comics, this action-packed film is everything you could ever want from a superhero film - visual effects to give you goosebumps, a talented cast and an engaging storyline.
