badlands-icon-100032922-largeLookit your Tiger pal, banging out these flippin’ quality posts just like the old days – reviewing the shit out of shit, helping you guys find rad things to ram into your hungry little brains, what a badass!

Now that I’ve completed the creative writing course I was toiling away at for the past ten weeks, I have slightly more time to dedicate to this site, which I’m pretty happy about.

Believe it or not, every time I have to just repost a funny video to ensure there’s a constant stream of posts on this site, I die inside a little. But enough of that, let’s talk about BADLAND, the raddest iPad game you’ve never played.

Photo © Tim Gander. All rights reserved. TEL: 07703 124412.You guys ever heard the famous story of Van Halen and the clause in his concert contract that said if the band found a single brown M&M in the bowl backstage they could cancel an appearance on the spot?

It’s gone down in rock legend as one of the most self-indulgent, childish clauses in a backstage rider contract ever. What a bunch of egotistical douchebags right?

Wrong. As it turns out, that clause was specifically written into their contract amidst literally hundreds of other highly technical clauses as a way of seeing whether or not the technical specifications of the contract had been thoroughly read and complied with.

Album Review: The Bedroom Hour – Themes

ThemesThe Down Lizzo:

I’m the world’s biggest music snob. I don’t know how it happened, one day I just woke up and I was just this snobby arsehole when it came to music, like the worst hipster you know multiplied by 1000.

As such, there’s nothing that gives me more pleasure than discovering a talented band before they release their debut EP / album.

In the case of The Bedroom Hour, a five-piece post-Britpop / alternative rock band based in London I got in there from ground zero whilst visiting the UK last year and have stayed in touch with the guys ever since.

002It’s no secret that Nokia and I are friends from way back. Just look at that advert on your right, go ahead do it. What does it say? That’s right, it says somethingsomething NOKIA somethingsomething.

Such is my relationship with Nokia that even their top brass over in Finland has read this site. True story (that I’ll get into another time), but despite this I still try to retain some integrity when reviewing their phones.

That’s why I’m calling this a HARDLINE REVIEW. I’m not going to pull any punches here people, I’m going to tell you straight up what I think about the Nokia Lumia 920 I’ve been using for the past month.

Sick Customer Service Award: Afrihost

biglogo1Here at SlickTiger Industries we care deeply about YOU the consumer and want to provide an open and honest forum to celebrate excellent customer service because let’s face it, in South Africa it hardly EVER happens.

I had my doubts when I started this category on the site. We get nailed in the ass so frequently when it comes to customer service, I’d get way more mileage if I changed this to a forum for bitching and moaning.

But that just ain’t my style. Celebrate the positive, give praise where it’s due. Hold hands. Sing Kum Ba Ya, and if you’re looking for an internet service provider don’t even hesitate, go for Afrihost.

The Most Hilarious Infomercial Dub I’ve Seen Since The Snuggy

Sticky FingersI don’t watch a lot of TV. In fact, at the time of writing this I don’t even have a television. I have a gigantic flat screen monitor on which I watch movies and series, but not TV, I hate TV.

So I have no idea if South African TV has as many infomercials as it used, the ones that loop to in those dark, ungodly hours when you really should be asleep.

HOWEVER, if you’ve ever been to the States, you’ll know that TV over there is fucking SATURATED with infomercials and my god! They are so awful they’re practically begging to be ripped off.

Embrace Monday: Illustrations Of Brooding And Desolate Places

daniel-danger03How’s that for a downer of a post for this bright and beautiful Monday morning? “Illustrations of Brooding and Desolate Places” – all that’s missing is a picture of the cubicle farm you’re sitting in as you read this.

I’m posting this because maybe escaping Monday isn’t the best solution. Maybe the best solution is tackling that fucker head on; if Monday is all about brooding and desolation then BRING IT.

After the illustrations you’re about to see by Daniel Danger, your Monday is going to be mother flippin CHEERY in comparison.

Friday LOLZ – What Happens When You Smoke 12 Bongs A Day

MAGNUSI always maintained that a bong is like the heroine equivalent of getting stoned; a quick, intense hit that leaves you pretty much incapacitated if executed correctly.

It’s literally been years since I dipped into the mahangajanga, but I still clearly remember (sort of) what it felt like and how, after four or five at most, my perception of reality became somewhat skewed.

Keep this up for about ten years and you’ll reach the level of the people you’re about to see in this video. They practise a martial art called “Yellow Bamboo” which is a “Balinese White Magic and an art of self-development, protection and healing”.

The Autotuned News Report Trend Continues

Dead GiveawayThe trend continues, but there’s no way this compares to Bedroom Intruder or Sweet Brown’s classic “Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That” autotuned track.

It’s still a kinda catchy tune though and it’s brought to you by Schmoyoho, the guys who did the original Antoine Dodson track and pretty much invented the autotuned news genre.

I’m sure by now you guys have seen the news interview with Charles Ramsay, the unlikely hero who discovered his neighbour was abducting young women and keeping them locked in his house, some for as long as TEN FUCKING YEARS! Well, if you missed it here’s the original report and autotuned version.
