    Since The Management haven’t pulled the plug on my posts just yet, I thought I might as well introduce myself to those of you who don’t know me. The name’s Chris and I trade here under the hastily selected sobriquet Rust-MyEnemy, which was coined back in 2006 when I first became active on some forum…

    You, the dear reader, are a crafty man or woman who is capable of great works of art. Your medium is Photoshop. Some of you are better than others, but all of you are creative. Only one can rise to the top (and normally it’s Scandinavian Flick), and this time that person is Josh Howard.…

    Jim “UDMan” Brennan, our Weekend Editor and Classic Captions guy, is on temporary medical leave. He had a stroke this past week, and will be spending the next roughly six months working in regaining use of the right side of his body. We didn’t hear this from a relative, social media or through the grapevine;…

    Want to play Forza Horizon, but you don’t want to pay for a copy? I’ve got you covered… well, one of you anyway. Sitting on my desk, still wrapped in its protective plastic wrapper, is a copy of Forza Horizon. This is the Limited Collector’s Edition, which nets you a few goodies inside the packaging…

    Our 2012 HCOTY field of nominees was vast and varied, and I’m happy to report that every nominee received at least a few votes. A few vehicles, however, rose up to become the clear favorites, but two of those took off from the rest of the group. It was a back and forth battle for…

    Things have been a little slow around here lately. Like, Westy Synchro with Super Swamper TSLs slow. While a few on our staff have some seriously legit excuses, mine’s not quite as acceptable: I disappeared for the last month or so because I was in the middle of a job change and relocation from Los…

    This olelongrooffan doesn’t often offer a suggestion to check out one blog over the other. There are a ton of great ones out there. But I do have this to say about that. The Roadwork blog, as noted in the sidebar here in the Hooniverse, is definitely a must read. Excellent writing as well as…

    Not content to simply let Jim enjoy his day in the sun, our own Alex Kierstein thought that Jim’s birthday looked like so much fun, he had to go and have one of his own. Honestly, Kierstein, sometimes you should just let others have their moment. Just because Jim has one doesn’t mean you have…

    Today is our very own Jim Brennan’s birthday! While he’s going through a bit of a rough patch in his non-Hooniverse world right now, and has been forced to take a bit of time away from our hallowed halls, he’s surely missed, and we’re fairly certain he’s still checking in from time to time. So…

    Okay, it’s no secret that “Hoonibbles,” the evil rodent gatekeeper at Intense Debate, will sometimes cast loyal Hoons’ comments into interweb limbo, should the views you express therein displease him. The symptoms of this syndrome are: The comment shows up on your IDC comment feed page, and… the comment is counted in the total comment…
