The Five Best Children's Toys Of All Time
Posted By: Eugene Morton - Friday, February 06, 2009 4:00 PM

Today's Blogwatch is dedicated to the best toy blogs on the net, so I've decided to compile a list of the top five favorite toys from my childhood. Take a heartfelt walk down memory lane with me, won't you?

Creepy Crawlers - The selling point was, you could become a pint-sized mad scientist who used a goo formula, mold and creature formation pod to create all sorts of weird insects. It was fun for a while, but when I realized it was essentially the male equivalent of an easy bake oven, and I couldn't even eat the final product, I chucked it post-haste.

Ghostbusters - How stoked are you that there's a next-gen Ghostbusters game coming out? Not as stoked as I was playing with The Real Ghostbusters toys from Kenner. The thrill of pulling the Ecto-1 out of the scale replica of the Ghostbusters' fire house or tackling the glow-in-the-dark Stay Puft Marshmallow Man with the four specter hunters themselves, or even using a kid-sized proton pack to send ghosts off to oblivion was unmatched until I discovered the pleasures of the fairer sex.

BlogWatch: Future Blogs
Posted By: Eugene Morton - Wednesday, May 07, 2008 4:44 PM

It would be cool if you had the power to see into the future. Unfortunately, unless you’ve got psychic powers that ain’t going to happen, not in the traditional way at least.

However, you can check out today’s blogs and see the future of technology and architecture. No crystal ball required.

BlogWatch: MMA Blogs
Posted By: Eugene Morton - Monday, April 28, 2008 4:24 PM

Human beings are violent by nature. It’s part of who we are and there’s no sense in denying it. However, that doesn’t mean people have to go around getting into fights.

They can however watch ripped dudes who know martial arts get into fights. Watching MMA fighting is a perfect way to channel that violent, primate energy. Another way is to visit MMA blogs, like the ones in today’s show. Just sayin’.

Although we don’t encourage people to smoke the marijuana, we realize that some folks out there enjoy a little wacky tobacco from time to time.

We’re not here to harsh anyone’s mellow, far from it. To show everyone we’re cool, we’ve assembled a list of 420 blogs in honor of the upcoming holiday that any smoker would love. See, we’re not square!

BlogWatch: Enhance Your Tech
Posted By: Eugene Morton - Monday, April 07, 2008 4:46 PM

One of the coolest things about getting a new computer is tricking it out. In fact, that’s the coolest part about getting your hands on any new tech gizmo or mechanical device.

Enhancing something that’s already good or taking something and making it to perform functions it was never intended to perform is one of the most entertaining nerd pastimes ever and there are a multitude of sites which help you do just that. On today’s show, we’ll show you the best of them.

BlogWatch: Mobile Media Blogs
Posted By: Eugene Morton - Tuesday, April 01, 2008 4:42 PM

There are many thousands, maybe millions of places online to get media for your viewing pleasure. However, you can’t always be stationed at a desktop and taking your laptop with you everywhere can be a pain in the rear.

Thankfully, there’s another option, your mobile phone. We’ll show you some cool places on the net where you can get videos and other media streamed to your cell, so you’ll never be bored again.

BlogWatch: Comedy Blogs
Posted By: Eugene Morton - Tuesday, March 25, 2008 4:30 PM

In all sincerity, and not to sound arrogant, we think that AOTS is one of the funniest shows on TV. However, we recognize that we don’t hold a monopoly on comedy (but only because the US Supreme Court says we can’t legally). There are other places to get laughs, namely today’s comedy blogs. Now, Attack should remain your primary source of laughter, but you can treat today’s blogs as a comedy supplement.

BlogWatch: Beer Blogs
Posted By: Eugene Morton - Monday, March 17, 2008 4:26 PM

Despite our innocent naivety (which allows us to get away with so much over the top action on the show), we’re well aware that at least a portion of our audience drinks. This BlogWatch is catered to you buzz chasers. It’s a list of the most dedicated beer blogs on the internet, not that we encourage drunkenness. Please, as always, drink and blog responsibly.

BlogWatch: SXSW Blogs
Posted By: Eugene Morton - Monday, March 10, 2008 4:49 PM

The theme of today’s BlogWatch shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. We’re covering SXSW, so it’s only logical that the blogs we’re highlighting would have something to do with the festival. We must warn you, there was so much cool stuff going on in these blogs that reading about all of it may take you days, possibly even weeks. Make sure you’ve got plenty of free time on your hands.

BlogWatch: Celebrity Blogs
Posted By: Eugene Morton - Tuesday, March 04, 2008 4:46 PM

If watching television and movies has taught us anything it’s that celebrities like attention. Who doesn’t? However, unlike most of us, celebrities are super talented and hot, so they’re a little more deserving of it than, let’s say, that one ex-girlfriend of yours who always had to have all eyes on her.

Also, it’s not like it’s a one sided thing. You love hearing all about movie stars and such and the best place to go for celeb news is the celebs themselves. They blog, you know.

BlogWatch: Camera Blogs
Posted By: Eugene Morton - Wednesday, February 27, 2008 4:21 PM

These days, everyone wants to be a filmmaker, but why bother shooting anything if your stuff is going to look like crap? Do you think people are going to take your work seriously if it’s filmed on a web cam or Hi8 camcorder? Probably not.

You need some high end equipment if you’re going to make anything of note, but don’t just run out and buy the first expensive camera you see. First, browse through today’s blogs to get a good idea about what camera is right for you and then go make your masterpiece. We expect an invitation to the world premiere.

BlogWatch: Gun Blogs
Posted By: Eugene Morton - Wednesday, February 13, 2008 4:28 PM

We’d like to believe that the only guns most of you handle are the ones in Halo 3, but we’re aware that there are a few gun nuts among you. That’s cool, you guys have the right to own firearms in this country and even if you didn’t, we wouldn’t argue with you… because you’ve got guns. So, we’re just going to show you these gun blogs and hope that you don’t get into trouble. Please, don’t do anything stupid or illegal.

Freedom is a four wheeled monster and a highway to drive her on. The open road is a seductive mistress, but she doesn’t come calling for dudes who own weak rides.

No, she's after the motor heads who have the power of a fuel injected V8 at their fingertips. Feeling suddenly insecure, like you might need to invest in a new vehicle or soup up your own? You might want to check out today’s blogs.

BlogWatch: Political Blogs
Posted By: Eugene Morton - Wednesday, January 30, 2008 2:40 PM

We’ve been talking about politics all week on the show; for some of you our discussions about the upcoming election have been informative and eye opening, for others, they’ve been a mere rehearsal of what you already knew (good for you, citizen).

In any case, it can never hurt to be more informed about the political issues that affect you. Print media’s good, but you can’t get political updates at two in the morning by reading your local gazette. You’ve got to go online for the most up to date political news and commentary. Read today’s blogs and then make an informed decision in November. It’s your responsibility as an American.

BlogWatch: Naughty Hotties
Posted By: Eugene Morton - Monday, January 21, 2008 9:05 AM

Though you’d like to marry the kind of woman who is nice, caring and classy, that’s not necessarily the kind of girl you’re looking for right now. Fine, most single guys aren’t looking for Mother Teresa as much as they’re looking for Paris Hilton.

Unfortunately, we’re not a dating service, but on today’s show we will show you some blogs where the naughty girls roam free like the wild and majestic buffalo. You won’t want to bring these ladies home to mom, but thanks to the miracle of photography you can enjoy them in the privacy of your own home.
