Take a Closer Look at ‘Do Not Disturb’
Fox still isn’t sure whether its new Niecy Nash/Jerry O’Connell sitcom will be permanently called Do Not Disturb — it was previously titled The Inn, as well — but that hasn’t stopped executives from putting together a pilot and photos of the cast in character.
Take a look at the full crew in the above still, a few more snaps after the jump, and the preview clips already posted. Does this look like a winning combination to you?

Video – Manny Ramirez Hits 500th Homer
On Saturday night, Manny Ramirez hit his 500th career homer against the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards. Ramirez, the star outfielder for the Boston Red Sox, becomes the 24th player in history to reach the milestone.
Against right-hander Chad Bradford, Ramirez hammered the first pitch and posed for what he knew was his 500th dinger. To go along with the homers, Ramirez also has 2268 hits, 1,639 RBIs, 1,375 runs scored and, perhaps most impressive, a .312 batting average…. More »
Epic Street Fighter IV Trailer. Really.
The latest trailer for Street Fighter IV is made especially interesting by its music. I have nothing against Faith No More, really. I think I even have Epic on my iPod. Just…what an odd combination.

Saturday’s running of the Heluva Good! 200 at Dover International Speedway in the Nationwide Series ended with Denny Hamlin pulling his no. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota Camry into Victory Lane, giving Gibbs their season leading 9th victory on the year. After sitting through a 3 hour rain delay due to storms along the east coast, Hamlin, who started the race on the outside of the front row next to polesitter, Carl Edwards,… More »
CSI Cliff Hangers: Many Questions and Some Answers
Warrick, Horatio, and Mac. What next?Photos: Newscom.
The season finales for all three CSI series really left us hanging. Vegas left Warrick in his car, in the alley, and Undersheriff McKeen walking away. Miami left Horatio lying on an airport apron. His ex, his son, and Ryan all remain some distance away, perhaps, but all possibly, suspiciously linked to Horatio’s situation. Then, CSI: New York has Mac driving in a car with “Joe”, the apparent mastermind of some, as of yet,… More »
Kart like Crazy
The newest craze is here! Level Up! Philippines just launched its latest online offering and this time, its a casual game! Whoopee! As of time of publish, Crazy Kart is still in beta and they’re open for testers.
I’ve tried the game myself and it reminded me so much of Mario Kart, a game which I’m crazy about. No pun intended.
Check it out the cutie game at the Crazy Kart Website

Quick Tip: Feign Ignorance
Too many interviewers think their job is to look smart.
The job of the interviewer is to create an environment in which the subject of the interview is as open, animated and coherent as possible. If jumping on a couch and behaving like an orangutan (with a hat tip to Tom Cruise) is what it takes to achieve that, then that’s what they do.
Instead of proving how intelligent you are, use an interview to achieve your goals.
Ask dumb questions. Ask open-ended… More »
Final Fantasy IV DS: First English Voices!
If you’re like me, you’ve played Final Fantasy IV at least once for every release across the years (barring the Wonderswan remake, because come on). By now, you’ve probably decided what the characters sound like. Well, tell your brain to make some room, because the latest trailer for Final Fantasy IV DS matches up the characters with their first English voices.
Oh Cecil. If you don’t straighten up, people are going to start thinking that all… More »

Beer Pong Goes High Tech
If the rumors are to be believed, frat boys across America don’t even have to leave their sofas to play beer pong. Their favorite drinking game is coming directly to the computer thanks to Nintendo’s Wii.
JV Games Inc. has announced that its newly formed Frat Party Games will be releasing a Beer Pong video game in mid-June 2008. The game is a take off of the popular (though Lord knows why) game of beer pong. In beer… More »
Focus On The Person You’re With
My favorite part of this video is the end. When people pay attention to everything but the person they’re talking to, the odds are they really don’t realize what they’re doing or how utterly rude they’re being. The worst part is, because the man didn’t address the issue with the woman, she will now tell others she networks with that he was rude. I think that while the woman is ultimately at fault for not focusing on who she’s… More »
Death in Scarlet
Is the title of the newest game offering from Big Fish Games. The game’s whole name is actually James Patterson’s Women’s Murder Club: Death in Scarlet. Phew.
Since Mystery Case Files, hidden objects games established its own genre apart from puzzles. How couldn’t it? Its easy to develop, a certified eye candy and the game is really immersive. Just change the theme and the objects and viola, its an entirely whole new game.
I’d try this out this new title myself,… More »
More Mario videos #2: Super Lego Mario
Talk about fanaticism. Producing cartoons is one thing, but stop-motion animation is an entirely different animal, especially if it concerns Mario and his twisted world. But someone’s eventually bound to do it. And so we have Super Lego Mario—the video game Super Mario Brothers done in (what else!) Lego bricks.
So far I’ve watched three videos, two of which show Worlds 1-1 and 2-1. The last video features the King Koopa stage. Well, let me shut up and let you watch… More »
JJ Abrams Chats Fringe
IGN recently chatted with J.J. Abrams about his upcoming new science fiction series, Fringe.
Abrams chatted about the inspiration for the show. “It was really just Alex Kurtzman, Bob Orci and myself just hanging out and talking about the kind of show we’d love to see on the air. For better or worse, like most of the things I do, it just comes from stuff that I’d love to watch. It’s sort of a boring answer, but that’s… More »
