Sony presents its latest version of their gaming handheld - the PSP Go. It is not just a small update, but a completely new device, now sporting a slide-out mechanism, hiding the controls of the gaming console beneath the screen. The Playstation Portable Go! comes with a 3.8″ screen, 16 gigabyte of memory, Bluetooth, a 43% loss in weight and it comes without the UMD drive. All games and movies can be directly charged onto the flash memory of the device, via the PSN Store. We cannot wait to see it live! Its good to be a Nerd.viaHighSnobiety. -Debonoir The New PSP Go
News leaked a while back about the return of the True Blue Air Jordan III, and the images that hit the web earlier this week ended all the They Say. We got word yesterday that the TB Air Jordan III will be an international release only. That’s exactly what the e-mail said folks. Get.It.Together.Jordan Brand.viaTheShoeGame. -Debonoir
I know it’s early. It’s not even June for cryin’ out loud, but I will say this. Star Trek is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. It may be the best movie of the summer. I know it might be a bit too soon for it, but I’m going to stand by my opinion (at least until Transformers and G.I. Joe come out). This film is a milestone for the entire Star Trek Franchise. It has loads of action with a bit of sci-fi that makes it a perfect movie for the summer. Director J.J. Abrams (who did Cloverfield and the TV show Lost) pretty much killed it in this one. This guy knows what he’s doing when it comes to great stories with dynamic characters, so trust, I wouldn’t steer you wrong.
Now I know some of you are bitching and moaning about not understanding sci-fi movies and you assume that because you aren’t fans of the series that you wont know what is going on. FALSE. There is no need to read up on Star Trek folklore (although I did, I’m a nerd like that) and there is enough action and awesome stuff to tie you over. You will truly be remiss if you don’t check this one out. First off, the action sequences are out of control. In the first 10 minutes, even before you see the title of the film you are going to be blown away. I wont tell you what happens though, its pretty much a catalyst to the story. In one sequence James Kirk (played by the brutally hot Chris Pine – He was in the Princess Diaries 2 if some of you boys needed a refresher), Mr. Sulu (played by John Cho – Harold of Harold and Kumar to my stoners out there), and some no name guy (he didn’t quite make it through the whole scene) free fall through the atmosphere to dismantle a drill that is destroying the Vulcan planet. It was the most exhilarating moment in any film I have ever seen.
Of course we can’t forget about Zoe Saldana. How beautiful is she?! Gorgeous even. She could stand to eat a burger, but that’s not the point. She steals the show as the point of the love triangle that arises between Captain Kirk and Spock. You will be surprised at who gets the girl. Who would have thought in the future so many guys would be diggin’ the chocolate. Mommy Like!
All in all, it was a terrific movie. The plot got a little confusing when it comes to the time-travel storyline, but you guys are smart. You’ll get past it. Star Trek is a fantastic movie that is worth a full price movie ticket.
Star Trek is rated PG-13 and runs 2 hours 12 minutes.
When a watchmaker produces watches for expeditions we tend to pay attention. Take this IWC Ingenieur Automatic Mission Earth Watch developed for “David de Rothschild and his crew during the four-month Plastiki expedition across the Pacific Ocean.” The blue and orange colors, which are signatures of the Plastiki expedition, are bold enough to rock all Summer long. You’ll find this 46mm automatic in an edition of 1,000. IWC rocks. Killin.Time.viaHighsnobiety. -Debonoir IWC Ingenieur Automatic Mission Earth Watch

Summer is the best time of year. Not because school is out (for many of us) or that we finally get to break out that perfect sundress we've been dying to show off. For me, its the movies that make three months of heat and humidity completely bearable. For some reason, this summer seems to be THE summer of movies. It has been a long time since so many highly anticipated films have hit theaters.
Eventually, you'll learn my style. The name doesn't lie. I am pretty cutthroat and I'm not into a whole lotta bullshit. You can trust me and my opinions on movies. I'm privately and personally trained in the art of film and popular culture. From time to time, I may get a little girly on you, but like a bad stomachache, it will pass. I may not see every movie that comes out, but I will be able to recommend some great movies that you may have always heard about, but you have never had the chance to catch in theaters.
As always, please feel free to refute my opinions. I may be a tyrant, but I do listen to the cries of my subjects :)

This world is filled with ghosts Who willingly lay down their lives Removes retaliation To merely sit and cry To everyone, and anyone But in reality, nobody cares Your just somebody disembodied Speaking in the air I would implore you But better yet I dare Exit from your ghosting And make a person care Join into a movement Create something from thin air Ignite your soul and wonder How you ever sat and stared Engage your peers, spread the fire
Until all are burnt like toast Burn down self-made containment Save a generation of ghosts

Incorporating a respect of baseball design through the meticulous weaving and durability of baseball gloves and baseballs itself, Japanese designer Hikaru Matsumura took these inspirations rather literally in the creation of his “The Unique Bag” collection. While the large scale bags may be too closely tied to their baseball roots, the other items such as small coin pouches and pencil cases are a little more figurative and present themselves as a nice balance between innovation and interpretation. One of his most interesting philosophies is that he feels as though numerous bag offerings are often too straight and square in shape and wanted to incorporate more curvatures into the overall aesthetic.
