About: Gents… my name is Dusty. To date, I have been resident amongst the masses of Gear Patrol devotees. Now, I have received a different calling. My charge is to shrug off the casual and carefree life of one who solely reads; I am to eschew the selfish pleasures man-info consumption, and to, instead, contribute mighty works of journalistic prowess suitable for the enlightenment of the Gear Patrol audience.
I’m sure that we would all agree that Gear Patrol shines as a bright beacon in the world of Men’s Lifestyle and Leisure. With numerous other sites and magazines vying for your attention, you read Gear Patrol because it cuts through the worthless flotsam and jetsam the other sites and blogs rehash day in and day out, bringing you a unique perspective on the latest gizmos and whatnots that matter to you. Well, it just so happens that I majored in gizmos and minored in whatnots.
Hopefully, my background and experiences will allow me to deliver piping-hot and tasty content direct to you from my areas of expertise. I was schooled in the beautiful Southeastern U.S. of A. There I spent only a modicum of time in actual class; instead wisely opting to hone other skills such as video game dominance (Ed: Dusty’s GoldenEye skills were unparalleled - full stop), media and entertainment studies, and indulging my competitive nature.
Post graduation, I sojourned for three years in southern Germany. There, I garnered a great appreciation for European culture as well as their longstanding brewing traditions/skills. Needless to say, travel is up there on my list of personal passions. Now I am back in the States where, by day, I work in sales and marketing in the construction industry. Also, I’m an on-again, off-again runner who enjoys many outdoor activities, preeminent among them being a fanatical, though rarely fantastical, golfer.
That being said, you may have to indulge some of my written idiosyncrasies. If my posts get too wacky, surely someone will let me know (Eric?). I plan to bring a bit of wit and wisdom to a community that clearly already has them in spades. Fellow readers, I shall do you proud by helping advance Gear Patrol in advancing you. After all, it’s a good bet that at least some of what entertains me just might entertain you too.

The annual pro basketball simulation from EA Sports is back for more this year, with NBA Live 10 boasting some series-best gameplay and features. As you might expect, the team at EA Canada that headed Live 10’s development has delivered improved graphics and realism, but it’s the smooth motion and responsive controls that should be lauded for making this a top-notch offering.
Recent games in the series have suffered some control issues and visual disjointedness, but no more. Add in intuitive play calling and manual dribble control and the in-game experience becomes a must-play for NBA fans. New features make a first appearance in the Live series, as well; most notably, Dynamic DNA Season mode connects with the real-life NBA season, altering player statistics and skills, bringing injuries into play, and reflecting trades and results in the game. User-played games are then merged with the real-world results, offering a heretofore unseen level of engagement with a real sport’s season play.
The new Adidas Live Run mode makes for a great time online, allowing players to form teams and go 5 on 5 in a more casual setting. NBA Live 10 also puts a variety of style options into play including 90 throwback jerseys and more than 500 shoe designs. All told, NBA Live 10 does basketball right, improving on it’s predecessors’ play and bringing some fresh elements to bear on the ball.
Cost: $57
