Age of Conan went live last week, and I couldn’t help but see how it compared to Funcom’s last MMORPG offering: Anarchy Online. I just got it yesterday; follow the jump to read my impressions.

There’s a ton of graffiti by my office (I work in industrial north Williamsburg, Brooklyn), but this is the coolest piece I have seen. I did some googling and it turns out, there’s more!

So last week I was discussing a particular Anthony Bourdain episode of No Reservations with a friend. It was the one where he visits the Pacific Northwest and discovers food-inspired tattoos, geoducks and…maple-bacon doughnuts. Yes, maple-bacon doughnuts, but this is not what I want to share with you my friends. I introduce to you nature’s […]

Bush: “They need to be eating U.S. beef! Its good for ‘em! They’ll like it!”

As a youngin’ I was skeptical about the clumsy, bobble-headed “Pizza Time Players” at my local Chuck E. Cheese Crappy Pizza Joint. Even at the tender age of 8 I had a sense that something was awry. Truth be told, that mouse made me uneasy. Little did I know, the only thing that stood between […]

The war pigs Bush administration has recently announced a genious plan to sell billions and billions and billions of dollars worth of weapons to our good friends in the Middle East: Israel (but definitely NOT Palestine), the royal family of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman. Apparently, these countries […]

Everyone’s favorite non throwing quarterback has just be indicted for dog fighting charges including, trafficking animals, buying animals strictly for fighting and the biggest attention getter, TRAINING and BREEDING PIT BULLS FOR FIGHTING PURPOSES.

Farewell and adieu to you, fair Spanish ladies. Farewell and adieu, you ladies of Spain. For we’ve received orders for to sail back to Boston. And so nevermore shall we see you again.
Our pal Josh tells us that last month a large shark (uh, non-panic inducing codeword for Great White?) was spotted off the Jersey […]

While researching Reh Dogg videos on youtube, I stumbled upon further evidence that not only do monsters exist! but they engage in spectacular underwater battles. Beware!

So philly weekly told you where you can get your dope, but I gotta suck some of the fun outta that high. Compare those spots to this map of murders in 2006. Those corners are in some dangerous neighborhoods! Why’s it gotta be so hard to get some H? Hook those fools up in a […]

Meet Fenriz of black metal band, Darkthrone and a total sweetheart. Fenriz takes us into his home and back to his roots to show us his most treasured album.

It’s wednesday..trouble getting over the hump? Nothing my favorite apocalyptic bulldozer,  Neurosis, can’t handle.

Hey, Internet, I’m talking about math today so check me out, d00dz:

Like most guys I’m a sucker for stupid stuff that I used to love when I was a kid, like BMX bikes, Skateboards, and other crap that make me pine for the days of carefree summers and sleeping in, where my biggest problem was having to mow the lawn . Nostalga seems to always strike […]

Let me begin by saying i am (was?) a huge fun of the ATHF series on Adult Swim. Primarily the first 2.5 seasons. The latter seasons are exactly why i walked into the theater with very low expectations.Last week i attempted to see this on opening night but was turned away when the sign said […]

These vegan gummi fruits (a product of Germany) were purchased at Essene Market & Café in Philadelphia a few weeks ago. To be honest I haven’t even tried them yet…so I’ll cut to the shit! I thought this would be a great opportunity for FV readers to share their favorite vampire food! Who knows, maybe […]

Once a year, beer connoisseurs gather in Munster, Indiana to welcome and get their hands on Three Floyd’s Brewing Company’s DarkLord. The critically acclaimed Russian Imperial Stout comes out in extremely limited quantities (the Tribune reported only 225 cases were brewed last year). Once the brew hits your local beer-snob joint, libation of the DL […]

It all started when my brother came home covered in blood and piss. The year was 1990. His appearance aroused a feeling of absolute horror in my (soon to be corrupt) seven year old mind. Seconds later, however, my ADD curious nature took over and I immediately began to beg him for the scoop.

The Philadelphia Film Fest is coming up April 5 - 18. To get ready, I looked through the entire Program at a Glance, carefully viewing each tiny picture and reading each 20 - 30 word synopsis. My informed, well-intentioned review of each movie, based on this minute information, after the jump.

America’s most illiterate mayor vetoed an upcoming referendum on the May 15th ballot which asked Philadelphians if ca$inos should be allowed within 1500ft of a school, mosque, church etc. The sleazy, obviously paid in an escalade mayor decided the citizens of the city had no right to be heard on this matter that directly affects […]
