We’ve got a winner for last week’s Quantum of Solace Blu-Ray Giveaway. Congratulations Geoff B. of Oklahoma! Here’s what he had to say: Both of mine, oddly, are Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale — Ursula Andress in 1967 and Eva Green in 2006. I’m sure many will say Halle Berry, but after her disappointing topless [...]
PF Flyers: Fly Style High Tops
Vintage Soles With Modern Soul
Sometime after being developed by BF Goodrich in 1933 and after helping Benny “The Jet” Rodriguez escape the Beast in The Sandlot, PF Flyers reinvented themselves. Branching out from their functional roots, the company has aggressively sought to revamp the line to fall more in step with modern day street wear. Characterized by simple construction [...]
Yamaha NX-A01 Compact Cube Speaker
Compact Size. Compact Price. Big Sound.
Where do you listen to your music? We here at GP are all about quality sound systems but we also recognize that every occasion may not be the right one for a six-piece, $6,000 sound system. If you find yourself moving around frequently and want a speaker that’s compact but still kicks out room-filling sound, [...]

10 Best Watches Under $100
One Benjamin Goes Further Than You Think
A wristwatch is a must have for any man. Quite simply, it completes his wardrobe. I would even venture to say that a man looks naked without one. In fact, it’s probably the only universally acceptable accessory for guys. We understand that most of you are in savings mode and while there are extravagant options [...]
Columbia River Knife & Tool – CRKT
A Smorgasbord of Highly Honed Goodies
Every man needs a knife. Or ten. Either way, the necessity of a handy blade is a concept that I’m willing to stand by. Just like the men they serve, knives come in a plethora of shapes, sizes, and special purposes. That’s why I’m such a fan of CRKT and the exceptional knives and tools [...]
CyFi Wireless Sports Speaker
Trail Bumpin' With Your Own Tunes
As most of you know, one of the quickest ways to get yourself into danger while biking is listening to headphones. Yes, you’ve spent hours perfecting that last playlist in iTunes. Yes, it might be flat out the best exercise soundtrack known to man, but no matter how much Led Zeppelin, DMX, or Yanni (to [...]
Nixon 51-30 PU Chrono
It's Like Wearing A Hockey Puck On My Wrist... and I Like It
I can always appreciate a well-crafted timepiece with the kind of design and flair that leaves me thinking, “damn, that’s dope!” I don’t know about the rest of you, but I think it’s kind of ridiculous to spend a couple G’s on something that tells time. Yeah, it might give your current altitude, something you [...]
[me] & goji Custom Artisanal Cereal
Grown-up Cereal for the Boy at Heart
Since I was a kid, cereal has occupied its own place atop my food pyramid. I recall countless after-school cereal feeds with friends in front of the TV. We’d mix two or three different kinds in a heaping bowl with milk that would, if proportioned right, leave a syrupy-sweet draught of sugar-laced milk to drink [...]
DadGear Diaper Vest
Like that utility belt you always wanted, but for poop
Apparently, this is the time of year when the weather just goes crazy. It’s hot, it’s cold, it’s raining – who can know what’s coming next? Amidst this tumult, there will be a few serendipitous days of perfect spring weather in which to revel. That’s when I go digging for my long-standing spring/fall getup, the [...]
Restoration Hardware Vintage Furniture Factory Cart
A Coffee Table Fit for Daniel Plainview
If you appreciate vintage over modern, then you’re likely to take a look at the Vintage Furniture Factory Cart, sold by Restoration Hardware, and immediately want to build an entire room around it. Personally, I’ll take restored vintage over modern (though I prefer a nice mix), but this piece is entirely too unique not to [...]
Sumo Lounge Sultan Sac
Chair Model Not Included
The Sultan Sac from Sumo Lounge is a far cry from that vinyl beanbag you sat on while playing video games growing up. That beast was liable to leave you with a seriously sweaty posterior (aka SWAS or Monkey Balls, as my college roommate would lament). No, the Sultan Sac is a refined and grown-up [...]
Upgrade Your Suit, Ditch The Black
Only have a few suits? Then black is not your best option. Here's why.
Recently, I found myself reading the latest issue of one of my favorite men’s magazines and scratching my head. It’s not often that I disagree with many of its suggestions, but in this matter, I cannot comply. In a (popular) section where the magazine offers ideas for filling out your business wardrobe, it states that [...]
Poll Results: Which Game System Do You Own?
Over two hundred of you voted in our last poll asking which game system you owned. Why? Because we’re trying to see if you all want us to do more video game reviews. All signs point to yes. It appears at least 50% of you own an Xbox 360 or a PS3, with 17% of [...]
Quantum of Solace (Win This!)
Daniel Craig Is Angry. Very Angry.
Casino Royale was a hard movie to beat: free running, gambling, and Eva Green. Quantum of Solace, (even with Olga Kurylenko as a Bond girl) managed to be entertaining, if not somewhat convoluted, but it’s still definitely a fine addition to any man’s high definition home theater collection. The 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio encoding included [...]
