Well fitted, a good medium wash with light whiskering at the seams and that nice worn in look. This is a good shirt for those looking for classic style from a more widely popular brand. $80. NC
Most games strive to get you to become an addict, Tilt to live succeeds with ease. The simple but incredibly difficult gameplay is one of the most addicting games we’ve played on the iPhone. You control a cursor and most at all cost evade the little red dots of death while bowing up, frying, freezing, etc, as many of the death dots as you can, before one of them takes you out. It comes with 3 game modes, and tons of unlock-able weapons. This is the premier game from One Man Left Studios and they’re off to a great start. iTunes. $1.99. NC
Without any doubt this is my favorite game on my iPhone.

Merrrell’s Dualtrek setup for men is something that will keep you dry in the heat and warm running during the chilly nights. The shirt feels a bit like your normal athletic shirt, it has a good design that fits trails or streets. The sleeves are both separate from the shirt and can be worn with or without it. They’re very snug and really do great job at wicking away sweat while running on chilly nights. To be put simply, the arm warmers work well and the shirt has a good fit, design and is plenty comfy for those long days. 8.5 out of 10. $65. NC
