Video games are great for relaxing, replaying like you’d reread a good book, or keeping up with other hobbies. Others are better for just staring at, as if your computer monitor or TV screen was an oil painting. Some of the best artists of this generation are working in modern…
Most presidents like to drink. It’s a simple fact. The founding fathers got wasted as often as they could and the mentality carried through to almost everyone else who’s inhabited the Oval Office. In honor of that tradition, we thought we’d put together a list of presidential drinking habits. That…
American presidents are so mythologized, it does everyone some good to remember that they’re no more or less human than the rest of us. They eat, drink, smoke, walk, talk, swear, trip, yell at their kids (if they have any), and have hobbies. They’re fairly ordinary, for the most part.…
We’re long past when it was time to abolish hemp’s dirty reputation. It’s true that it’s closely related to marijuana, but when people talk about hemp, what they generally mean is the plant that produces miniscule amounts of THC and has hundreds to tens of thousands of uses (depending on…
It’s a sobering thought, but disasters are inevitable. You may think you’re prepared, but we have some notes, as the emergency kit in your car’s trunk and the granola bars you stashed likely aren’t enough to carry you through the three weeks of hardship you’re in store for. Consider our…
If you’re into the experimental cocktail scene, no one’s going to stop you. Go ahead and drink your Ron Swanson disapproved drinks. But when we’re bartending or patronizing a cocktail bar, we want the tried and true recipes. The Manhattans, Old Fashioneds, and Sazeracs (none of which will appear on…
We’re so focused on “peak TV” that we’re forgetting some of the best shows have already come out. Even better, they completed their run so long ago, you don’t need a special streaming service to watch them. For a bunch of picks on this list, all you have to do…
Hopefully, now that you’ve finally changed whatever novelty calendar you own over to 2018, your vacation days have reset and you get to start planning for wherever it is you want to go to blow off some steam. Obviously, we have some ideas, so let’s see if we can’t steer…
The game of chess is a timeless classic, challenging players from 6th century India all the way up to today. We can’t tell you how much it’s changed in those 1500 years, but we can tell you modern people are putting their own spin on it. They’re changing up pieces,…
Audiobooks are podcasts with plots. They were podcasts before there were podcasts (as was talk radio). In fact, most of the time, they’re better than podcasts. You can’t start a audiobook on a whim, so right there you cut out most of the chaff. If you’ve been wanting to get…
Just like last year and the year before that and the year before that and so on until just before the premiere of Breaking Bad, a hell of a lot of TV is coming out this year. However you watch, if you’re a cord cutting streamer, a DVR binger, or…
The past year gave us some damn good reads. Now, it’s time to look ahead at what the new year has in store for our reading pleasure. While many more titles will be announced, here are the confirmed books we’re most excited about. You’ll probably find one or two on…
Even casual gamers have plenty to be excited for this year, with releases from big developers and indie outfits that’ll keep you entertained for hours. Where we could, we’ve included specific dates or seasons, but as anyone who spends any time following gaming can tell you, release dates in the…
We don’t know exactly how many books were published last year, but you can bet it was more than any reasonable human can be expected to read. Since we’re also human, we didn’t get to read them all, but of the ones we did, we have some we liked more…
We’d venture to say every guy has a wallet. We all have different philosophies on what we’ll put in it, where some guys stick to only cards and cash, and others will cram in any bit of scrap they find, but we all have one. Which also means, every once…
