Juxtapoz Magazine: Art, Culture, Octopuses

Ain't nothing like a badass art mag. Like how Giant Robot kicked off Kozyndan's famous rabbit wave piece, Juxtapoz introduces pop culture like a multifaceted bombardment that's nearly impossible to dodge. Definitely pick one up today if you're interested to see what great feats modern culture is brewing.

Anthony Gallo TR-2 Subwoofer

Gallo’s TR-2 subwoofer turns cream into butter (which burns by the way.) That aside, the vented wooden circular cabinets allow the 10" long-throw woofer to breathe like an angel. Acoustical suspension allows the integrated 250-watt class A/B amp to do its job - generating a tight, remarkable bass that's worth every penny of its $700 price tag. Pair these up with some active studio monitors and you've got yourself one kick ass sound setup.

In Dying Need of An All-In-One Solution

Okay, I've had it. These developers are lazy, lazy, lazy. Motherfuckers don't get paid enough or something?

The Playstation 3 - a horrid failure. I've tried to look at it at many angles. The Bluray and Cell are nothing without software and so far I see no third party games that have given it enough hype to go past a $150 price tag. They've made it so copyright-proof that no one has been able to hack it for years now. Congrats! The DS Lite sold millions mainly because of a flash cart override that allowed hacking to look like child's play. Free games drive console sales which you truly need. Might as well start making all the games free in order to generate user base, idiots.

The Xbox 360 - so much bad press that it gives me a headache. When I think of the 360, I think of rings. When I think 360, I think of a good idea on paper, but poorly executed. You call it a media center, but it doesn't even support x264, mkv, DivX, XviD, or any of the popular video codecs that make a media center sell. Your games are better, which I will admit, but you still can't sell me past $200. C'mon seriously. It's all plastic stuck together with super tape.

Nintendo Wii - it's fun for 10 minutes. Tupac entertains me longer than that. This console has no future. I pity the fool who is still trying to sell it on Craigslist for $300 thinking he'll make a profit.

You fanboys make me laugh. You're just as pathetic as these developers who don't know how to appeal to the masses. There should be guidelines next time they release an update; instead of filling up the market place with multiple SKU's that are straight up stupid IMHO. Gah, maybe I should just forcefully takeover a company to straighten out this mess.

The General Plasma TV Gaming Debate

Plasma fan: Plasmas are great for gaming. You don't get any motion blur and the black levels are great.
LCD fan: Yeah, but I don't want to worry about burn in. The new LCDs are so much better than the old ones. Motion blur is no longer an issue and more LCDs are 1080p.
Plasma fan: Burn in is not an issue with newer plasmas. You just have to be careful. 1080p is not a big deal unless you have a 50"+ TV and sit really close.
LCD fan: 1080p is the best thing ever. I can see the benefits of 1080p in a 32" TV at ten feet. Besides, I don't want to baby my TV. Plasmas only look good in dark rooms.
Plasma fan: You must have super human eyesight. LCDs only look good in bright rooms. I don't mind babying my TV for superior picture quality. Your black levels suck.
LCD fan: You suck.

And so on and so on.
