Dragon’s Lair chosen the most overrated video game of all time

If you’re like Web Watch, you’ve likely spent hundreds – if not thousands – of quarters at the local mall arcade playing Pac-Man, Defender, Smash TV, Zaxxon, Spy Hunter, any number of pinball games like the Addams Family machine, iRobot, and many others.

And while you may have your own personal favorite to play because you were good at the game or you liked the storyline, there’s that one machine that everybody seems to love (or at least, think nostalic about) but everyone hated to play.

Except for That One Guy who knew all the right moves at all the right times.

Top Paid Musicians of 2012 (here’s a hint: it’s not all from Youtube or iTunes)

It’s time once again to take a look at HOW MUCH MONEY MUSICIANS MAKE each year.

Web Watch knows what you’re thinking — with iTunes, the Amazon Music Store, Google Play and other services, let alone the money that comes in from Youtube from display advertising showing with all their posted music videos — that successful artists would almost literally be rolling in dough.

Who is the Sexiest President (and Sexiest Vice President) ever?

Being President of the United States (or POTUS, if you like acronyms) comes with a lot of responsibilities, not the least of which is that your profile becomes highly raised. You’re going to be seen everywhere, from every angle. Video, photos – all living on forever.

10 Completely Useless Wine Accessory Gift Ideas

As we get deeper into the Holiday Gift Giving season, perhaps its time to take a moment to reflect on whether that wine accessory really is something that the recipient would appreciate.

The way Web Watch sees it, if you’re going to give a wine enthusiast a gift, you might as well give them a bottle of wine that either YOU like (so you can then say, “hey, let’s open that bottle I just gave you”) or a bottle of wine that you know THEY’LL like in the hopes that they will open that bottle and share with you anyway.

Funny thing about giving a gift of wine – you’ll probably end up having some of it anyway.

41% of us will take a nap on Thanksgiving day

Of all of the holidays in a year, Thanksgiving is typically the most stressful.

It’s a holiday where families are forced to be together. Forced to travel in crowded conditions. Forced to eat the same traditional dinner every year. Forced to rush out that night to get in line for those desired Doorbuster purchases.

The best time to exercise is between 5pm – 7pm

Are you like most people?

You get out of bed, slip on your running outfit (with nighttime reflectors, of course), and head out for an early-morning 5 mile run to shake out the cobwebs before you head home to shower and get ready for work?

If so, then you’re doing it wrong.
