WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?

OWN THE SERIES ON DVD FOR A CHANCE TO WIN YOUR VERY OWN BRAND NEW HARLEY-DAVIDSON

This March, get revved up for the best bike builds and fiery family feuds in Discovery Turbo Max’s number one rating television series, AMERICAN CHOPPER “SENIOR VS JUNIOR” COLLECTION 1 when it skids onto DVD.

A reality series like no other, AMERICAN CHOPPER “SENIOR VS JUNIOR” COLLECTION 1, captures all the Teutal family rivalry between Paul Sr. and Jr. as they head down separate roads with contending custom bike shops after Jr. was fired from the family business, the world famous custom bike shop, OCC, in the last season.

AMERICAN CHOPPER “SENIOR VS JUNIOR” COLLECTION 1 follows Paul Sr. and his team at OCC as they continue to build their much sought after ‘choppers’ and Jr. as he opens up Paul Jr. Designs, his start-up shop located across the street from OCC’s original site.

Adding more fuel to the fire, Jr. heats up the competition by hiring former OCC employees including his brother, Mikey, Vinnie DiMartino, Robert ‘Nub” Collard and Joe Puliafico.

In a battle between old and new, young and old, the father-son duo vie to see who can produce the most innovative choppers with Sr. focusing on cutting edge technology while Jr. taps into OCC’s roots, building more traditional creations amidst the planning pressures of his wedding.

Despite the turbulent Teutal family tension, AMERICAN CHOPPER “SENIOR VS JUNIOR” COLLECTION 1 will keep fans riveted with some of the most ambitious and radical bike builds yet.

While stocks last, fans will receive an exclusive limited edition shrink-wrapped T-shirt with either DVD or Bluray purchase – scoot in quick!

The world’s biggest costume craze goes patriotic

Australia is already famous for its football, meat pies, kangaroos and Holden cars; well now you can add the Aussie Flag Morphsuit to the list. No Australia Day shin dig will be complete without the all-in-one fancy dress costume that is taking over the world.

The Morphsuit covers the whole body (even the head), you can breathe through them, see through them and even drink through them. Despite being a UK invention, the suits have become an instant hit with the land Down Under quickly becoming the biggest buyers of Morphsuits per capita in the world.

 “We all know how fun it is to dress up, but we’re taking this to a whole new level,” says Morphsuit co-inventor Fraser Smeaton.  “Morphsuits are all about having fun and being noticed. If you are wearing an all in one stretchy Lycra suit, you are guaranteed to be seen.

“The Morphsuit’s popularity in Australia comes as no surprise to us; the concept fits perfectly with the Aussie culture and humour and I have no doubt there will be many Morphs at beaches, backyard BBQ’s, bars and pubs this Australia Day,” says Mr Smeaton.

There are about 100,000 morphs running around the globe, and more than 450,000 Morphsuits fans on Facebook; sharing pics, videos and ideas of what to do in your Morphsuit. Surfing, sinking a few VBs at the cricket, sky-diving, playing footy, marathons and bungee jumping are just some of the many things people have done in a Morphsuit.

Morphsuits are available in M, L, XL and XXL and in 29 colours and designs. The suits, along with a variety of accessories, like wigs, glasses, sweatbands and shoe covers, are available for purchase at www.morphsuits.com.au. Morphsuit prices range from $75 to $85.

We have to say – this is a pretty stunning accomplishment. French filmmaker Mathieu Weschler has invested two years creating what we believe to be the first feature-length (88 minutes) machinima movie made in the world of Grand Theft Auto IV.

The “trashmaster” divides his time between collecting garbage and cleaning up other forms of trash fouling up New York City’s streets: dealers, small-time criminals… When the dancers in his favourite strip club are mysteriously killed, the trashmaster finds himself hot on the trail of a particularly twisted serial killer.

Kudos to M. Weschler – and enjoy, all.

Get a Taste of One of 2011’s Most Anticipated Games Starting on January 26

Sydney,  Australia – January 17, 2010 – People Can Fly, Epic Games and Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced a demo for Bulletstorm, the highly anticipated new action shooter from the makers of the award-winning Gears of War and Unreal series of games. Starting on January 26, the demo will give players a taste of the guns, action and attitude Bulletstorm has to offer, with Entertainment Weekly describing Bulletstorm as “an intense, outrageous shooter,” and Seth Schiesel from the New York Times stating, “the name should say it all; big guns, lots of lead and over-the-top mayhem.”

Bulletstorm ships with three game modes: the pulp sci-fi, single-player campaign; Anarchy multiplayer mode; and Echo mode, a unique experience that tracks and compares players’ scores while they play through locations found in the campaign. The Bulletstorm demo introduces a slice of Echo mode in which players traverse a collapsed building on the deadly paradise planet Stygia as ex-Dead Echo leader Grayson Hunt. Players will utilize the “Skillshot” system in Bulletstorm as they crush enemies in increasingly creative ways to rack up points using an arsenal of powerful weapons, from a futuristic assault rifle called the Peace Maker Carbine, to the Flail Gun, which fires two grenades linked by a chain, and the Screamer, a powerful revolver that turns enemies into human fireworks. 

From highest score to total number of skillshots performed, players can compete with their friends for bragging rights in Echo mode as they decimate enemies with over-the-top combat moves using some of the most innovative weapons ever seen in a first-person shooter. With more than 45 skillshots in the demo, players are encouraged to “Kill with Skill” in Bulletstorm, finding stylish and ever imaginative ways to take down anyone that stands in their way. The Bulletstorm demo also allows players to unlock platform-specific upgrades* to use in the game’s Anarchy mode, from the Crimson Leash to Stealth Armor, when they purchase the full game. 

The Bulletstorm demo will be available on January 26 on PlayStation®Network in Australia and New Zealand. Poised to be one of 2011’s most original games, the Bulletstorm Epic Edition will be available for the Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system and grant early access to the Gears of War 3 beta as well as additional bonus content in-game**. The Bulletstorm Limited Edition will be available for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and PC and will also offer additional bonus content in-game**. Bulletstorm will be available on Feb. 24, 2011 in Australia and Feb. 25, 2011 in New Zealand.
