Like a lot of people, I like having a warm body next to me while I sleep at night. But the fact that this “Boyfriend Pillow” actually exists, is both hilarious and troubling.

The following is the unedited product description:

“The Boyfriend Arm Pillow is a uniquely designed memory foam arm pillow that gives females the feeling of being embraced by a real man without the snoring, tossing and turning. Shaped like a man's torso with one sturdy arm, the Boyfriend Arm Pillow comfortably wraps around the body, providing both single females and those in relationships with a secure sense of comfort.”

I’m sure you are now wondering now, “what kind of person buys something like this?”. And that’s where the hilarious part starts...

As the NBA Playoffs march on, the results grow increasingly more surprising, perhaps none so more than the a round 2 match up in the East featuring long-time traditional rivals the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers. 

With the aging Celtics trying to hold on for one more title run and the upstart #8 seed Sixers in the second round more or less only because of the injury to Derrick Rose that allowed them to knock off the Chicago Bulls in round 1, this ain’t exactly Doc vs. Bird circa 1981, but it’s still one of sports’ great historic rivalries that has upped the ante for fans of both teams as the series moves forward.

This ad for NHL players Jonathan Quick was actually outside of of Staples Center around LA Live during Game 4 of the Western Conference final. Why aren’t more sports teams doing more of these kind of ads?

Anyone who reads this site regularly knows I carry a personal affinity to all things Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. But probably my favorite character of all time in any movie is Gandalf, the most badass of wizards from LOTR.

Which is why this recent video from Super Power Beat Down has me a little preturbed.

In this video series, the people over at SPBD choose one super hero to fight another super hero. By "fighting", it means two people make a case for each side and then the fans vote on who they thing should win.

Clearly, Gandalf either didn't have proper representation or the minons that follow all-things-George-Lucas came in droves to vote for Darth Vader, who ultimately "wins" the show down.

Hit the jump to see the video debate and let us know if you think the proper winner wasn't represeted....

Welcome back to another edition of Hot Topics in the Gaming World You Need to Know About! I’m your host, Adam Stevinson, and... enough of that. Anyway...

After a relatively quiet few weeks, things are starting to ramp up in the gaming world. E3’s only a couple weeks away, so plenty of exciting news is on the horizon. In the meantime, the much-anticipated Diablo III and Max Payne 3 dropped last week to rave reviews. Mario hit the courts on the 3DS but to much less acclaim. The Big Three’s next-generation consoles have yet to be released--Sony’s and Microsoft’s have yet to even be officially confirmed--but they are already receiving discomforting news. The first details about Mass Effect 3’s upcoming DLC have emerged, and 343 Industries released some Halo 4 news.

Oh, and Ghost Recon: Future Soldier hits store shelves this Tuesday.

General Gaming News

The latest Ghost Recon game comes out on Tuesday, and the folks over at IGN had a little fun and created a parody titled “Ghost Recon: Future Intern”. It’s pretty funny.

Diablo III was released last week, and if you own an Android phone, you no longer have to use your PC to check the status of the online servers. There’s an app for that.

Max Payne 3 came out last week, and if you’re undecided on whether or not you should purchase it, perhaps this glowing review will help.

Both Sony and Microsoft are working on next-generation consoles, but according to Wired magazine, developer Epic--the studio behind the Unreal Engine--isn’t satisfiedwith either console. Like Tim “The Toolman” Taylor, Epic wants them to be more powerful.

That’s not all: some analysts are predicting that the next-gen consoles won’t match the sales of the current generation of consoles. They believe that mobile and social games will continue to eat away at the console market. .The good news is that gaming companies and already expanding to those areas, so the video game industry as a whole will remain strong.

After the uproar that surfaced over Mass Effect 3’s ending, BioWare announced DLC would be on the way to this summer to provide further closure. That content, titled “Extended Cut”, will include Admiral Hackett and EDI. Kaiden Alenko will also be back.
 

More bad news: Devil’s Third is in trouble.
