Quite a few codes were given out, and several of us here at Media Whore Network got some.

Oldie But Goodie, Thanks Saints Row 2

PLAY on October 16
Man I miss gangsta rap like this. I was watching TV last night and the gameplay trailer for Saints Row 2 popped up and this was the background track that was playing. I hadn’t heard this track from Easy E for about a decade until it was there right in front of me on national TV. I wasn’t content with only a 30 second scrubbed version... 

Armchair Quarterback: Week 6

READ on October 15
Well, what a wild week in football. I saw more up’s and down’s this week then Amy Winehouse has been in rehab. What really surprised me is all the good teams losing to teams that many pundits thought had no chance of a winning season. But as we look at the standing, there are some things that really stand out.

Tales of Fatherhood Part 1 — Bodily Fluids

Uncategorized on October 15
Hey there whores, you might have noticed I’ve been severely lacking in my posts here the last couple of weeks. This comes from the fact that me and my wife were expecting our first child. Well, she was finally born 2 weeks ago on the 1st of October and I have been hella busy becoming that provider and nurturer known as ‘dad’. Fatherhood,...

Seriously Microsoft…Fuck You

Uncategorized on October 14
This is the 3rd goddamned time I have had one of your perpetually shitty consoles die on me with a Red Ring of Death. Let me make a distinction here, I hate Microsoft’s hardware, not their software. It’s easy to see that the 360 is my choice for this generation’s winning console, just look at my gaming library. I have about four times... 

This Is Not The Greatest Post In The World, This Is Just A Tribute

READ on October 13
Did anyone else know about this and not tell me? What the hell guys? I seriously did not know about this until yesterday, and the trailer has been up for 2 weeks. What am I talking about? The greatest band on Earth, Tenacious D, is releasing a new DVD! It is the follow up to their first DVD, The Complete Masterworks, so it is obviously called The... 

Crank Dat Xbox Live

Uncategorized on October 11
God I fucking hate writing about this shit. Why do I do it to myself? I swear I’m a masochist. Anyways, it seems “rapping” “sensation” Soulja Boy has made another YouTube video about gaming. He has made some previous ones, including a “review” of Braid, but now he is calling your, and my, and everyone else’s...

Open Letter to the NFL

WATCH on October 10
Dear NFL Douchebags, Do you hate fun?  No seriously, I think it’s a legitimate question.  Do you hate fun?  Does the NFL no longer stand for National Football League but for the No Fun League?  Because after this weekend’s stupid fining, I’m starting to believe it.  

QUOTH THE SERVER, “404.”

READ on October 10
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I porn-surfed, weak and weary, Over many a strange and spurious porn-site of “hot chicks galore”, While I clicked my fav’rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, And my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, “Tis not possible,” I muttered, “give me back my free hardcore!” Quoth...

McCain Can’t Stop Being A Maverick, Uses Songs Without Permission

Uncategorized on October 9
[Author's note: We here at Media Whore Network usually don't touch on politics, but this one's music related, so fuck off.] If there’s one thing I like about John McCain, it’s the fact that he’s a fucking maverick. And do you know what mavericks do? They use artists’ songs without permission, that’s fucking what. Well,...

I Hate Haters… Does That Even Make Sense?

PLAY on October 9
Now look. I know we’re all about having fun here at Media Whore Network, but I’ve got to get serious for a minute. It’s not something I usually do, but there’s been this thing that’s been bugging me for a long time, and I just wanted to get it off my chest. I’m normally a quiet individual who keeps to himself, but... 

An Open Letter to the Laundromat Vending Machine

Uncategorized on October 9
Dear Laundromat Vending Machine, Your intention is good. Doing laundry is a boring and mind numbing experience, so a quick snack might make the time go by faster. We love you for that. So why do you hate us when we need money for the washer and dryer? We throw in a dollar and press the change return button, hoping for the much needed quarters. ... 

Shitty Movie Night #1

WATCH on October 9
So last weekend my roommate and I decided to host an event that we are terming, “Shitty Movie Night”.  It’s really nothing but an excuse to have friends over, consume too much alcohol (I put down 12 beers that night and could have kept going) and laugh at the horrible movies that some people like to make.  But not to completely fuck... 

Battlefield: Bad Company, an MWN review

PLAY on October 9
Looking at any game with the name Battlefield in it causes me to automatically steer clear. I have very bad memories of painful rapings in Battlefield 1942 and all of it’s expansions. But I do enjoy FPS’s and even more so when they have NOTHING to do with WWII. That being said, I was looking forward to the day when Battlefield: Bad Company... 

Now This Is How You Do A Cover Album

PLAY on October 9
Ah, the cover album. It is not rare for a band or artist to cover a song on a regular album, but it is much less often that said artist will make an entire cover album. Popular cover albums have included Guns N’ Roses’ The Spaghetti Incident?, Metallica’s Garage Inc., and Rage Against The Machine’s Renegades. I wouldn’t... 

Fuck you Sega: Sonic and The Black Knight helps destroy your nearly ruined childhood memories

PLAY on October 9
You’re a strange whore Sega. One day you could be showing off something that looks great such as Madworld, and then the next day you could be showing off shit like the trailer below. Of course we already knew about the childhood memory killing potential of Sonic and The Black Knight when a scan from gaming magazine Nintendo Power revealed it but... 

Gmail Wants Your Drunk Ass To Leave It Alone

READ on October 7
I really can’t decide what side of awesome and/or nifty this falls under. Some of the Gmail devs have created an app for Gmail called Mail Goggles that blocks you from sending an email if you can’t do a few math problems in a 60-second time limit. The devs don’t specifically state what its for, but it’s to keep you drunk fucks...

Defending Family Guy and ‘The Word’

WATCH on October 7
If you are a loyal Family Guy viewer, like me, you tuned into FOX last Sunday at 9 pm Eastern to watch the newest episode. There has been a lot of criticism of the newest episode, specifically with the running gag they made of “Surfin’ Bird”, a song by rockabilly band The Trashmen. The main complaint is that the joke ran too long...

Man has always been sure of two things: - Beer can make almost anything taste better - Bacon tastes delicious So I figured: WHY NOT TRY BOTH OF THEM TOGETHER? Thus was born The Great Bacon Exbeeriment  

Destructoid Bloke Singing For Charity

PLAY on October 6
Here at Media Whore Network, we are self-admitted whores, but goddammit, we’re whores with hearts. That being said, the good folks over at Destructoid are raising money for SarcasticGamer’s Extra Life charity, which benefits the Texas Children’s Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. In a manner that makes us proud, Destructoid isn’t...
