I remember playing with those little green army men during my childhood years.  My imagination would conjure up pretty cool battlefield scenarios, where my green marines would constantly defeat unsuspecting enemies with superior firepower and strategy.  Of course, not a single Marine from my squadron would ever die because each one had a personal shield device for added protection.

Now I can take my love of little army men to the next level with the Dueling Space Marine Copter Set from ThinkGeek.  You and a friend can have an exciting duel in the air, while unleashing invisible laser beams at each opposing Marine.  Upon a successful hit the enemy will lose power and fall crashing to the ground.  In addition, simulated sound effects and flashes adds a realistic element to the gunfire.

Ahh…a perfect toy for men who never want to grow up.  Time to whip out my credit card!

Available at ThinkGeek.com for $49.99.

A copy of Call of Duty 4 (PC) somehow ended up on my desk yesterday.  Being a true gaming junkie, I took the opportunity to dust off my gaming mouse and play for an hour or two(?). 

Evidently, 1 hour became 2, then 2 hours became 3, and so on. 

PC games can be such an addictive habit.  Maybe it’s time for me to pick up a new hobby.  Sudoku perhaps?  Bleh…

Everyone loves Pac-Man.  The simplicity of this classic video game brings back memories of empty pockets and numerous quarters wasted on such an addictive pastime.

Come to think of it, perhaps the money spent on this game could have gone to more useful things, like a college education or to some charitable organization catering to men incapable of getting a date.

After years of frustration, Pac-Man finally got his tubes tied

I came across this cool looking Pac-Man & Ghost set made from knitted wool.  It looks pretty chic and makes a great conversation piece.

Despite the cute look, yours truly will refrain from making a purchase, since enough money has been wasted on the game already!  Hmm…maybe I can get my Mom to make me a set.

The “Pride of Wales” Joe Calzaghe has finally silenced his critics.  After a gut wrenching performance against the legendary Bernard Hopkins, Calzaghe proved to the world last Saturday why he’s the best light heavyweight boxer in the world.  Despite being knocked down 70 seconds into the first round, Calzaghe eventually fought his way back by earning a split decision over Hopkins.

Calzaghe simply outboxed Hopkins by swinging a lot more punches throughout the fight.  Hopkins was unable to land no more than one or two punches while fighting inside the clinch.  In the end, Calzaghe landed 33% of his shots, while Hopkins landed 27%.

What does the future hold for Calzaghe?  A fight with Roy Jones Jr. is rumored to happen later this year.  As previously posted, this would be a big mistake for Jones, since he’s way past his prime and Calzaghe is quickly gaining a reputation as a Legend Killer.  In the world of boxing money talks, unfortunately, for Roy Jones Jr., this may be his last big pay day for the foreseeable future.
