The Ultimate Fighter Season 11– Meet The Cast
by Rich on Mar.10, 2010, under MMA, UFC News & Rants
March is a great month for UFC fans, with a ton of great events leading the way towards this year’s installment of The Ultimate Fighter. With the UFC on Versus on March 21st, followed by UFC 111 - St. Pierre vs. Hardy on March 27th, and of course, Ultimate Fight Night 21 on March 31 ‚the UFC has all the bases covered in terms of promotion and great events leading towards TUF’s Season 11 premiere — also on March 31st.
This season, a new format will debut that plans to freshen up and reinvigorate the TUF program. With coaches Tito Ortiz & Chuck Liddell, you can expect great coaching, great fights and bad blood between these two that will make this another must-see season.
It’s a great time to be a UFC fan. Here are this season’s competitors:
The Ultimate Fighter premieres on SpikeTV on Wednesday, March 31st — check your local listings for showtimes.
1st Impression: Iron Man 2 — Second Trailer
by Rich on Mar.10, 2010, under Movie Trailers, Movies
Iron Man 2 is due in theatres in two months, and this new trailer makes me appreciate the work that Jon Favreau has put into this franchise. Of course the big sell is the onscreen debut of War Machine — now played by Don Cheadle, who replaced Terrence Howard. We can’t forget the Black Widow as well, who looks like she will make things interesting for Mr. Stark.
Mickey Rourke and the always awesome Sam Rockwell are your villains from what we’ve seen so far. Rourke will play Whiplash (who may or may not also become Crimson Dynamo) and Rockwell is criminal mastermind and businessman Justin Hammer.
Iron Man 2 looks like it has the right spark to start the new summer blockbuster season and quite frankly I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Super Street Fighter 4– Meet Hakan
by Rich on Mar.10, 2010, under Video Game Trailers, Video Games
For months now I have been covering the newest characters is SSF4 and I had heard that one more remained to be revealed. It turns out that this new challenger was going to be completely new. Hakan appears to have a very slippery and oily appearance which augment his attacks and give him a unique fighting style which appears to be similar to Hugo with a bit Zangief and Alex as well . My 1st impression was that he looked kind of hokey but after watching some gameplay footage I feel he may prove dangerous in the right hands just like Rufus.The battle begins anew in April!!!
Enjoy!

Like Marvel? Have a Notebook, iPhone, iPod? Then check these out…
by Andrea on Mar.04, 2010, under Gadgets & Gear
While doing my morning web browsing, I came across a site that makes custom skins and covers for various techie devices that I thought I ‘d share with MTR’s illustrious readers…
The company is called GelaSkins (check out http://www.gelaskins.com/). Their newest collaboration is with Marvel — and they have made some pretty cool things to stick on your stuff. Who wouldn’t want Spidey to save their phone from unsightly scratches??
In addition to Marvel, they also have some stuff from Metal Gear Solid 4 (although that’s just for the iPod Touch and iPhone) and a Dark Horse Comics Collection, which includes the Dark Horse logo, Hellboy, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Tim Burton’s Tragic Toys for Girls and Boys, amongst some others.
The best part — they use 3M “technology” for easy application and removal of the skins, so for klutzes like me, it may actually look good when I’m done.
Prices range from $14.95 for iPods and iPhones, $19.95 for Netbooks and $29.95 for most laptops and notebooks. Not every piece of artwork is available on every device though, so you need to see what they have.
Check some of them out below and hit up the Gelaskins’ website for the rest…
