In the video game world, heroes haves numerous opportunities to power-up their physique and mind by gathering various magic mushrooms, indestructible armor, enchanted potions, etc. Back in the real world, technology is creating life power-ups in the form of physical peripherals and supplements that enable anyone to be smarter, stronger, more organized and achieve a Godlike omnipresence.

My Dad used to say, "There is always going to be someone bigger and stronger than you out there."

Well Dad--technology is helping bridge that gap--so shut up!

My iPhone 5 has evolved into being a vital organ. I use it for everything: ordering food, directions, thumbing through tumblr and the occasional phone call. A problem I run into often is when I need it for a social media emergency or "was that a left or a right for the bar"--it's dead in the water.

Presenting The 'Hairiest Back Contest' Winner & Sole Entrant

Posted 4/3/13 5:00 pm EST by in Gadgets, Sweepstakes

back shaver winner

Last month, we decided to give away four Mangroomer Professional Do-It-Yourself Electric Back Hair Shavers to our fans with the most-unruly back hair. We called it "The Hairiest Back Contest," and we expected dozens if not hundreds of entries. (We even tried it ourselves to make sure it was a quality product.)

Unfortunately, none of you wanted to manscape your backsides--or just didn't want photographic evidence of your hairiness on the internet--except for one brave soul: David from Huntington Station, NY. He sent us the above photo (which we've cropped because it featured a full hairy ass shot), and won himself a new gizmo to shear the left side of his body.

While we waited to receive more submissions, David sent us this follow-up message:

"Hey did u guys get a winner yet for man groomer. Broke up with my girl n I gotta shave this hair off. Wondering if I gotta buy one to keep this hair from peeking out back of my shirt on new date. I am the guy that sent u pic of back n ass. All needs to be trimmed up real soon. Thanks"

Yes, David, we've picked a winner (you), and we could never forget who sent that pic (of back n ass). Enjoy the Mangroomer device, and good luck on all your future dates!

Like the tuxedo, the leather jacket never goes out of style. It can be dressed up with tortoise shell frames or down with a bloody undershirt. It's been famously worn by musicians, athletes, cowboys, young soldiers in love, Arctic explorers, Newsies, bookies, hit men, stunt men, Indiana Jones, James Dean, Luke Perry, mobsters, evil masterminds, literary misfits, brawlers with hairy knuckles, fat cats with cigars, the Planet Hollywood crew, Wu-Tang, Vegas snakes and various Tarantino lowlifes.

In its honor, here's five leather jackets from pop-culture to dust off and wear tomorrow.

Every "Guy Code" fan knows that dudes must shear ourselves, lest we disgust the ladies. Not everywhere, of course--women love the treasure trail just as much as the treasure--but just enough to look kempt.

Problem is, dudes with hairy backs are caught in a vicious cycle. They can't shave their backs without a girl's help, but every girl who sees them shirtless runs away in terror.

Fortunately, Guy Code Blog and Mangroomer are here to help with "The Hairiest Back Contest." We're giving away four Mangroomer Professional Do-It-Yourself Electric Back Hair Shavers (retail price: $49.95) to our fans with the most-unruly back hair.

Read the official rules for specifics, but here are the basics:

1. Between March 15 and March 22, email or tweet us a photo of your own hairy back. (It must be your back. Don't even try to cheat with someone else's picture or Photoshop.)

2. If you email it, you must include your (a) name, (b) mailing address, (c) date of birth and (d) paste the following statement in the body of the email:
By sending this email, I accept and agree to: (1) the Official Rules of the "Enter for a Chance to Win a Back Hair Shaver for the Hairiest Back Contest" [http://guycodeblog.mtv.com/hairiest-back-contest-rules/] and (2) the MTV.com Terms of Use [http://www.mtv.com/sitewide/legal/privacy.jhtml] and Privacy Policy [http://www.mtv.com/sitewide/legal/privacy.jhtml ].

3. If you submit via Twitter, include this in your tweet: [PHOTO] #HairiestBackContest Rules: http://on.mtv.com/YdLL9B

4. We'll select the winners based on (a) humor, (b) originality and (c) hairiness of back. Our lawyers actually wrote that sentence.

All right, Chewbacca, what are you waiting for? Send us those photos!

Mansumer Reports: Schick Hydro 5 Disposable Razor

Posted 3/11/13 2:00 pm EST by in Gear, Mansumer

Hydro 5 Disposables Packaging - High Res

Trying a new razor is always a scary proposition. Guys like predictability, especially when it comes to our morning shaves. An unfamiliar blade can cause maddening irritation...or worse, an expensive E.R. visit.

That's why we're happy to announce that Schick's new Hydro 5 Disposable can help dudes look their best with minimal effort. We rigorously tested 'em in our Mansumer Reports laboratory (read: our bathroom), and here's what we found...

Ease of Use

It earns top marks for its smooth performance, thanks to UltraGuide blades and a hydrating gel reservoir, cutting last night's stubble without cutting the skin underneath. No need for toilet paper bandages.

Handling

It didn't slip once, and the flip trimmer feature got into those hard-to-reach places. (By "hard-to-reach places," we mean the underside of our necks, not the underside of our balls. Testing that region is up to you.)

5 Ways Google Glass Will Up Your Game With The Ladies

Posted 2/20/13 3:00 pm EST by in Gadgets, Gear, Relationships

Credit: Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images

Everybody's geeking out over Google Glass, basically a computer you wear on your face and command with your voice. You know, like what the Terminator wears. Except instead of killing John Connor, you're gonna kill it with the ladies. These glasses will be a household staple within a year or two, and will make your life awesome. Here's five ways we're sure they'll up your game.

1. The Hidden Wingman

Turn on the camera when you approach a girl. Your friends can see what you see in real time to give you advice, encouragement and legit objections. Plus, you can look her up on Facebook, so you'll know her favorite music, books and movies for conversation starters. (Just remember to turn that camera off if you wind up back at her place.)

2. Fashion Statement

Nerd girls love techie stuff. Sporting these glasses will give you a nerd pass. Show her how the glasses work and let her wear them. She might never give them back to you, but she'll be eternally grateful.
