The last of the E3 swag

Blast Magazine Newsroom — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 02:34:22 +0000

Ok people listen up. E3 was a blast this year. We all know that. While the crowd was huge, and a lot larger than last year, we know that you were all sitting at home reading the stuff that the Blast Games team was firing up like so many chaingun rounds.

We’re cleaning up the Blast Newroom over the next few weeks, and right away we found a few things (like porn).

We have official E3 t-shirts for Wet, Rogue Warrior, and Red Steel 2. Do you want them?

Well we’re gonna make you work for’em.

You need to review something. A video game released in the past two months that we somehow haven’t reviewed yet. A rare peripheral. A brand new PC game would be great. Write us a 400-700 word review with a 1-10 rating. We’ll PUBLISH the best reviews in Blast and the best three reviews will win these rare pieces of cloth. First place gets choice, second, and so on. Reviews must be your own work and not be published anywhere else.

How do you do this? Register as a Blast user — it’s FREE and takes 30 seconds and post a comment on this story with your email address. We’ll be in touch.

Spa at home — and get free stuff from Blast!

Blast Magazine Newsroom — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 04:00:20 +0000

Pamper yourself from the comfort of home with the professional-grade products from Sothy’s international French spas.Â The new At Home Spa Kits are targeted for sensitive, normal or oily skin types to indulge and refresh without having to make an appointment or kick of your slippers. Plus, the do-it-yourself aspect makes this option a little more wallet friendly than a full spa experience.

This month, one Blast reader will win a kit of their choice, worth $140, and, in keeping with a French theme, a $50 gift certificate to Manhattan’s Bruno Jamais Restaurant Club in New York City. No sense in wasting a glowing complexion on Chinese take-out and re-runs of “Sex and the City,” right?

The contest is open to US and Canadian Residents only. Email us your information at Giveaways@BlastMagazine.com by December 31 to enter and please indicate your skin type.

Although not yet FDA approved, the company has been using the products in their international spas and in New York City spas for years. Here’s a break-down of what each kit includes.

For sensitive skin types:

A new formula used for Sothy’s Immuniscience CrÃ¨me is said to hydrate and soothe the epidermis, providing a protective shield to combat the everyday elements that can make skin dry and chafed.
A Clearness Serum gives a concentrated punch of natural polyphenols to help sooth and diffuse redness.
The Clearness & Comfort Mask softens skin. Throw on some Chopin an close your eyes for the full calming effect.

For regular skin types:

A Hydra-Protective CrÃ¨me moisturizes with chaparral extract for extra protection.
Vitamin Serum with chaparral and eau’thentique of strawberry is said to make a difference in six weeks. Our tester didn’t have quite so long to find out, but did note that theÂ strawberry juices infused into this protective trio leave behind a delightful and light scent.
AÂ Desquacreme forms a lotion-like barrier as it cleanses, but rinses clean. Active ingredients are said to clear and tone the skin for impurities.

For oily skin types:

A Hydra-Matt Fluid is a light gel made from biotechnological compounds to reduce shine, moisturize and protect.
The Clarifying Correcting Serum is a concentrated formula, containing natural polyphenols with properties of regulation, protection, and immediate soothing effect for chafed, red skin.
The Absorbent Mask goes on creamy, but is enriched with powders and menthol for a clearer complexion and clean, shine-free, healthy skin.

After getting pretty enjoy a night out at the Bruno Jamais Restaurant Club. It features fine cuisine of the French Riviera with the convenience of a taxi ride in New York’s upper east side. Dine until 3 a.m. on chocolate soufflÃ© and Foie Gras. Reservations are suggested and chic attire requested to blend in with the dÃ©cor that was given the “Best Interior Design” award by Hospitality Design Magazine.

The club has hosted celebrity guests including Billy Baldwin, Joan Rivers, Cindy Adams, Chazz Palminteri and former President Bill Clinton.
