The homeless people around here all have their own distinct personalities. Almost like comic book characters. We have names for all of them based on how they dress or act. Today, in the first of the series, I’ll be describing The Pharaoh to the best of my ability.

He is a wise and mysterious man, who has been wronged time and time again, and is suspicious of everyone except himself. He finds comfort in the fact that one day he shall return to his royal palace, destined forever to be the ruler he once was…

Discover the truth about him after the break…

In case you readers don’t know, I am tremendous fan of Trent Reznor and his main “band”, Nine Inch Nails. His most recent (and possibly final) large arena tour was his biggest yet. Trent has always been on the bleeding edge of technology and incorporating said tech into his live shows. The Lights in the Sky tour was no different.

Trent had planned on filming the last few stops on this tour in 3D and doing a theatrical run, but in what seems to be a typical chain of events, record companies let him down and ruined the opportunity. Instead of professional filming, Trent instituted an “all cameras allowed” policy, regardless of the venue’s preference.

What followed was something incredibly unique, a gift from the band that was totally unexpected…

When the iPhone was announced in January of 2007, and subsequently launched in June of that year, many users (including myself) were expecting an iChat-like application that would let us instant message and harass our friends over services like AIM, GTalk, ICQ and more. When it was clear that Apple had no damn intention of including anything of the sort, consumers were a bit let down. Even us l337 jailbreakers sought solace in apps like ApolloIM, but were never fully satisfied.

My friend Shawn is YourDaftPunk in the screenshot up there. How the fuck did he beat my Geometry Wars 2 score? Jesus Christ I can’t stop playing until I’ve beaten him. Which means I’ll never leave my apartment. This stupid game has a vice grip on my tiny balls. <— matt added this and he is a stupid head sexy bastard.

Here’s his stupid twitter post.

Welcome to the newly launched home of the lamest, funniest, sexiest, smartest, boldest, most outspoken, correct, fit, desirable, eligible, venerable, respectable, nude, talented, skilled, and best dressed men on the planet.

We are lame. Plain and simple. No better way to put it. But we’re also funny. And all the things we listed above. We’ll be using this site to try and deliver some genuinely funny, geeky, and enjoyable content for you to consume. You can expect a wide array of content including (but not limited to) random nerd speak, gushing about things like LOST & Battlestar Galactica, high scores, fanboyisms, game/movie/music/application reviews, editorials, letters to the editors (pending an actual fanbase), photoshop fun, regular features, podcasts and a whole lot more.

We can’t promise anything other than a couple of guys who want nothing more than to talk about what they love, and a (not so) secret love for making people laugh. Stick with us, because we’ll be doing this as long as it takes for our lavish & delusional fantasies to actually happen.

That, and you know you loved Cliffy_b.

Thanks for reading & listening, we want love you.

Lamecast Episode 000: The Test
Join Austin & Matt as they take you on an aural adventure like no other. Topics in this episode include Transformers 2, Coraline, Terminator 4, Taken, LOST, Grand Theft Auto IV: Lost And Damned, and more!

This was our first Lamecast, so there are some obvious mistakes throughout. Pay no mind to the screaming cats, soaring airplanes, or performing acoustic guitarists in the background. We are working on perfecting the process and assure you pray to the gods that future Lamecasts will be of the utmost quality.

A lot of you probably discovered us by our most recent crowning achievement, the fake Twitter account of one Clifford Bleszinski. If you haven’t heard the whole story (which was also featured on Joystiq), then you owe yourself a perusal of our first feature, The Story of @Cliffy_b.

Contained within is a story of blood, sweat, tears, and admiration for the most badass game designer of all time.
