John I’ll have you know I was voting for your nickname being “mouth hugs”

So what’s up my two pals in the Winnebago (Space Balls) May the Schwartz be with you.

I know this topic was tabled a couple weeks ago but I want to bring it up because I think it’s critical for men to know when they look like complete idiots. I mean if their friends and family won’t tell them then we will. Consider us your new family. We gonna talk men’s fashion faux pas. You don’t have to be a fashion junky follow a few simple rules. So here is goes.

Biggest Fashion Faux Pas

Blue Tooth Ear pieces (Douche Tags) worn throughout the day. Inside and outside of the car. I will not except the excuse that you forgot it was in. Don’t forget, you look like a dick head.

Jean Shorts or more affectionately called “jorts” I apologize in advance for everyone who didn’t get the memo but they are not just out of style they are the focal point of ridicule and scorn.

“The only reason someone should wear denim shorts is when they are at one point wearing jeans, but at some point they lose all of the leg portion from the knee down somehow.  In that case, it is acceptable.  If a dog comes out of nowhere to rip apart your jeans and turns them into jorts, you are both making a somewhat fashionable style point while also having an incredible story to back it up.”

My buddy Dan Doody says in fact if you wear jean shorts with a Hawaiian shirt you’ve given up all hopes of getting laid…….ever.

Wife Beater Tank Tops – Um I think the name of the shirt is implication enough on the fashion worthiness of the garment. Think Kid Rock, some malt liquor a few engines in the front yard and a double wide. Chicks don’t dig guys who they think may beat the crap out of them and the wife beater is giving off some abusive vibes. My Facebook lady pals said no tank tops period. They scream douche bag.

Dress Sandals with socks. You can pull of Under Armor, Addidas or Nike Slides with socks. It’s more of a “I’m an athlete” look.

Having a ton of jewelry. I know your grandpa Bud left you the pinky rings and gold chains in his will but you can sleep with it if you want to feel closer to him. Don’t wear it “all” in public at the same time. I’m one of these guys that don’t think we have a ton of accessories but understated is cool. Maybe a nice watch and bracelet or a ring. It’s enough I promise.

I know the wannabe models out there are gonna cry foul but wearing different colored scarves as a fashion statement is ridiculous. Unless it is below 30 degree the scarf is off limits and should be limited to wool or some synthetic material with your favorite sports team logo. There I said it.

Affliction Shirts or any print shirts with ornate crosses, or eagles, or unicorns. First of all they were never really in but if you hung out in a crowd that really dug them they are out now so stop wearing them.

Cheap Cologne – Like Drakkar, Polo Original, Obsession, CK-1

I’m just gonna say jeans here , not ill fitting or poorly fitting but almost every girl had something to say about them. They love them but if they don’t look a certain way lose them from you wardrobe, saggy assed or skinny jeans. So hipsters take notice you look like a tool bag in skinny jeans.

Black socks with gym shoes.

Long tube socks pulled up high

Sean didn’t remember send me a picture. So I found one!

Hey all of you Europeans, no Speedos

So bad ass

And our own Andrea Oh of TodaysFitnesstrainer.com says no sweaty gray or white spandex, no dress socks and

absolutely no working out in jeans. We know you’re in construction go into the locker room and put on a pair of shorts.

Some late edition men’s fashion mistakes from my wifes good friend Karen “No turtles necks” I seriously don’t know how men think they are comfortable. It doesn’t matter how close I shave they always catch

And another by another great friend Linda she said “wearing sandals, flip flops with toes looking like they just raked a garden…”

This game came out while I was in college and we spent many a night getting all liquored up for 12 and 24 man tournament. Other than rock, paper, scissors tournaments this was the mens drinking event in college. LAME

I’m not going to go into reviewing each year. It’s been good for a long time even back in 92, 93, 94.

I can still go back and play the early Metroid games and they are fun. If you have a Wii or Wii U pick up Metroid Prime Trilogy WOW. It’s worth every penny. They were originally made for the Gamecube but three games were smashed together and repacked for the Wii. It is a value like the Orange Box. Speaking of the Orange Box that brings us to my next favorite game. LAME

Rag Doll physics at its finest. There is nothing like shooting an enemy then picking up the body like a rag doll with your gravity gun then blasting it 200ft and watching it flop around. Good times. This was such an eerie atmospheric game. Almost a survival horror, almost a shooter and a hell of a story. And BTW you can get Half-Life 2, all it’s expansion packs and Portal in The Orange Box. One of the greatest values in video game history

I could have easily said GTAIII the game that started the free for all, do anything sandbox or the new one GTA5 but this one stands out for me. I love the story, going to the gym to get jacked then going to the tattoo parlor to get tatted up. Awesome stuff.

This was another game. Detailed gaming world brought to life by it’s sweet art style. It’s a stealth game (which I don’t love) but it doesn’t have to be which is even better. I love the options at your disposal for finished a level. BORING

Post apocalyptic greatness. The exploring, the looting, the fighting. Seeing a post nuclear Washington DC over run by mutants was a spectacle. The washed out graphic and the creepy music made this one of the finest gaming experiences ever. VAC SYSTEM SUCKS

I really should have Uncharted 2 somewhere in here but this was a better game in every way. I don’t know if I’ve ever played a more morally challenging game. The acting was spectacular and the graphics were last generations best. In fact after finishing I wondered way we needed the next generation. The developers at Naughty Dog Squeezed every last drop out of the PS3 hardware.

Oh Bethesda do you know how to make an open world game. About 2 minutes into the game I knew I was playing something special. The game world is so massive and so detailed I stopped on many occasions just to look at the scenery. The exploring in Skyrim makes the exploring in Fallout seem trivial. I played no other game for 6 months and found every single think there was to discover. It was so hard for me not to pick this game as my number 1 because I played it more than probably all games combined. But something about the #1 game made me change the way I saw video games. It made me want more from them. It raised the bar in some many ways.

What can I say. Irrational made a game that I believe will be in the Smithsonian as a benchmark in videogame art. The game starts of with such a great opening set piece. You’re swimming in the water watching your plane sinking in the middle of the ocean only to see a lighthouse beaconing you to swim to it. As you go down the bathysphere transporting you to the underwater city of rapture you are filled with wonder of what might happen next. The Utopian city unfolds as one of the most unforgettable set pieces filled with art deco glory and decay. If you know anything about Ayn Rand and Objectivism you’ll immediately see her influence. BTW all three Bioshock games were spectacular but there is nothing like the first.
