Motorola Droid 4 Available Today

Attention all Android lovers, Motorola's latest and greatest Droid 4 is NOW AVAILABLE!!! With its 4inch HD screen, dual core 1.2 GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, 8mp/1080p camera, and 4G LTE compatibility this device seems to hit every spot on even the most demanding of techies checklists. The Droid 4 also settles down those folks who are still not convinced to switch to touchscreen only keyboards with its LED edge lit qwerty keyboard. This bad boy even has the mini HDMI output so you can show off all those great 1080p videos and 8mp photos on the big screen. The only downside I can find is that the Droid 4 is not shipping with Android 4.0...

David Jaffe Wants Your Help "Blowing sh*t up" In New Twisted Metal Ad

In a brilliant marketing move, Jaffe is in a new video asking for players help destroying the Sweet Tooth truck with a light machine gun. You're probably wondering how you would go about doing that, and that's where the brilliance comes in. Players will log into a shootmytruck.com, press a button and make it rain bullets. This is one of the most interesting ways to market a product, while having fun in the process. Twisted Metal is set to release February 14th. Check the video for all them deets bro...

Sony's Financial Rating Downgraded

It appears that Nintendo isn't the only company suffering financial woes as of late. Sony, whose offerings stretch well beyond gaming, recently announced a $2.9 billion loss. This is just one of several reasons that has led to Standard and Poor lowering Sony's long-term corporate credit and senior unsecured debt ratings to a BBB+. Because of continuing net losses since fiscal 2008, Sony's profitability looks significantly weaker than that of its global industry peers. In addition, we believe its ratio of adjusted debt to EBITDA is likely to remain high for the next one to two years, even for companies in the 'BBB' category....

Corning Inc. Brings You The Future Through Glass

Corning Inc. is a manufacturer of specialty glass (Gorilla Glass) and ceramics and have been used by many big time companies.  Apple, including one.  There capabilities include display technologies, environmental technologies, telecommunications, life sciences, and specialty materials for advanced optics.  That is nice and all, but what does that mean to us? It means a fully integrated future with the use of their glass products in collaboration with consumer technology companies we can't help but buy. Imagine a day with self-dimming window panes, 3D projection displays, large panel touch gesture screens and the ability to...

A Look Into the Diablo III Beta

Blizzard’s Diablo III Beta was released a few days ago to 100,000 lucky fans.  More will be sent out through contests and giveaways, but there are still the millions of fans who will not enjoy the experience early.  Let me try to be of some help. Can you use all five heroes? Yes. What difficulty is the beta? Blizzard set the difficulty on normal and this cannot be changed. There are greyed out options for the higher difficulties and an option to create a Hardcore character. For all who don’t know what Hardcore means, you get only one death. Just one. Is there anything new in the main menu screen? The initial log...

The Fun of Fright Night

I found myself bored the other night, so I checked On Demand, and I came across the new remake of Fright Night. I remember seeing previews for this flick and thinking it looked a bit campy and silly. I looked into the summary and saw that Colin Farrell and David Tennant were listed in the cast. I immediately decided that I needed to watch this, I’m a huge fan of David Tennant, so I hit play. The plot was decent, main character Charlie Brewster (Anton Yelchin) discovers that his neighbor, Jerry Danridge (Colin Farrell), is a vampire. He seeks the assistance of the Vegas show runner/self proclaimed vampire specialist, Peter Vincent (David...

Nocturnal Release: Drive

I picked up Drive last night on Blu-Ray. Damn I love the 80's. While watching it with my friend, she originally had thought that the film took place in the 80's due to the soundtrack. Now if you haven't noticed a recurring trend in my articles I love two things in movies: score/soundtrack and the 80's. Well, the 80's isn't really something that I look for, but I just had to reiterate.   The movie is very slow paced, and it isn't filled with a massive amount of driving, so if you think that this is another Fast Five then you're dead wrong. The marketing of this movie can be a little deceiving. When I saw this in theaters, a few people...

Haywire Review

Steven Soderbergh continues to evolve his craft as he takes us into the world of spy versus counterspy. As he did with Sasha Grey and 'The Girlfriend Experience', Soderbergh has an amazing ability to have taken two women with little to no acting experience and really make them shine. This time, female MMA fighter Gina Carano takes the lead as Malorie Kane, a spy for hire and ex Marine. Sent off on a mission by her boss played by Ewan McGregor, she enters into a tale of betrayal, murder, and espionage.   What I love about Soderbergh ( and Tarantino also) is the use of music in his films. I absolutely loved the choice of music for...

Thoughts On The Grey

"Once more into the fray. Into the last fight I'll ever know. Live and die on this day. Live and die on this day." This post is spoiler-ridden. You've been warned.  This poem from Liam Nesson's latest film "The Grey" echoed far deeper as the movie progressed. Nesson plays a wolf hunter who protects employees of a petroleum company in Alaska from wolf attack while working on the pipeline. The movie plays out as if you were reading a novel, fitting because this was based on the short story Ghost Walker by Ian Mc'Kenzie Jeffers. It tells a tale of a man who's battle with nature and beast is an outward manifestation of the battle...

Predicting Super Bowl XLVI In Madden 2012

Seeing as The Geek Asylum is based in New York, it only seems appropriate that we take the time to predict Super Bowl XLVI. Will the Giants do us proud?  Will the Pats get their revenge for 2007? Well that's what we have Madden 2012 for. Consider it a crystal ball, if you will. The game was predicted in two different ways. One game was actually played out by a physical player, while the other game was simulated. Lets start with the first game played by a physical player who chooses to play as the Giants. Keep in mind that the rosters are completely up to date to ensure that we have the closest thing to today's game. Enjoy. Game 1...
