Geeky Giveaway: Teen Wolf Season 1
What are the odds that we would have TWO contest running at once? Consider the odds broken, cracked or in someway altered because we’re back with yet another geeky giveaway! This time we have two copies of the pseudo remake of the ’80′s classic Teen Wolf. Instead of trying to remake and possibly destroy a beloved cult classic, MTV\MGM\Fox decided to make an angsty TV drama centered around a loner teen who just happens to get bitten by the elusive werewolf one night. No inherited genes, no sweatbands and no hot naked chicks!
Consider this one a crossbreed of The Vampire Diaries, Twilight and every bay day of high school. The rabid protagonist must fight his inner beast, woo the girl of his dreams, avoid her father – for more reasons than one – and remember to unclog the drain after he takes a shower. Awww, I remember those days.
If you end up winning one of the DVD sets, you can look forward to all 12 episodes, an extended version of the season finale episode Code Breakers, a gag reel, a handful of featurettes and some alternate, deleted and extended scenes. There’s even a “Shirtless Montage” sans the hot chicks – I think. If they’re in there too, sign me up for a repeat viewing!

Geeky Giveaway: This Means War!
We’re back geeks with another geeky giveaway sure to get your action bones going! Our forever friends at 20th Century Fox have saddled up with two copies of the upcoming spy comedy, This Means War, on DVD to give out to some lucky geeks. Haven’t heard of the flick? First – Shame on you! Second – let’s see what the studio says about it:
They are the CIA’s best, trained for any situation…except one. Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment plays the ultimate spy game as two best friends fight for the right of one woman’s hand in THIS MEANS WAR, coming to Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Download May 22. Starring Academy Award® winner Reese Witherspoon* (Walk the Line), Chris Pine (Star Trek) and Tom Hardy (The Dark Knight Rises), the laugh-out-loud comedy gets even better on Blu-ray with three alternate endings that answer the question – what if she chose the other guy?
The world’s deadliest CIA operatives, FDR Foster (Pine) and Tuck (Hardy), are inseparable partners and best friends until they fall for the same woman (Witherspoon). Having once helped bring down entire enemy nations, they are now employing their incomparable skills and an endless array of high-tech gadgetry against their greatest nemesis – each other.
Jog anything in your geeky brains now? It’s kind of like a mash-up of True Lies and Mr. & Mrs. Smith in my opinion. Reese Witherspoon is smoking fine (as always), plus the chemistry between Hardy and Pine is hilarious! I mean think about it, two spies using the vast resources of the CIA to win the affection of a girl while knocking the other guy out of contention? Who wouldn’t want to do that?

Siri Says The Darndest Things
Up until recently if you were to ask Siri “What is the best smart phone ever?” Siri would answer with the Nokia Lumia 900. Apple has acted fast and now the iPhone’s personal assistant will answer with iPhone 4S or something like “the one you’re holding” and “you’re kidding right?”. The non Apple reply was caused by Siri’s relying on Wolfram Alpha, which chose the Lumia 900 as best smart phone due to a catalog of four different five-star ratings. Wolfram Alpha will still offer up the Lumia 900 as answer to best smart phone if you search the service independently of Siri.
The small amount of reviews Wolfram Alpha used to determine the Nokia Lumia 900 as best smartphone is not really pushing me to abandon my iPhone but I do find it strange that Apple is dictating Siri’s answers. However I can also understand that Apple wouldn’t want the personal assistant directing their users to the competition. Siri you silly girl, thinking you could have your own opinions. Full Story
Halo 4 going Limited Edition this fall!
While not exactly a secret, this is Halo after all, Micrsoft pulled the curtain back on the Halo 4 Limited edition. So it doesn’t come equipped with a large plastic monstrosity (darn!), it still aims to capture the Halo fans’ hearts and cash. For $99, buyers get the game (duh!) inside a custom steelbook, a slew of launch and post launch DLC, Avatar goodies, featurettes and the real world UNSC Infinity Brief Packet.
The DLC contains a healthy mix of digital treats for the avid fan. There will be three post launch map packs released (release schedule TBD), each of them hosting three maps. That’s nine maps for those who suck at multiplication. Available day one will be a Spartan armor skin, Assault Rifle skin and emblem – all used in-game. Also packed in will be early access to the Specializations for your Spartan warrior. Specializations can be used to hit higher ranks in your career, add customization options and more. 343 promises to drop more info on these at E3.
Looking for other items to get your motor running? How about a new, shiny set of Spartan armor for your Xbox Avatar? Maybe a prop so they don’t feel lonely? Yep, the limited edition has you covered there. Plus the 90 minute live action Halo 4: Unto Dawn comes along. The series is a prelude of sorts to Halo 4 and tells the tale of a cadet who becomes a force to reckoned with on the UNSC Infinity.
