Watch Mindfreak, get free couch in Home photo

Are you tired of sitting on things not shaped like coffins in your virtual home in Home? It's just a pain, isn't it? But who wants to go out and buy a virtual something shaped like a coffin? There's the awkward looks from the virtual store clerk, the other virtual customers whispering behind your back and the ever present virtual God judging you constantly. No, it's much better to get something like a couch shaped like a coffin for free by watching Mindfreak on Aug. 6 in Home.

That is actually happening, in case my theoretical wording threw you for a second. If you're out of the magic televison show loop, Mindfreak stars Criss Angel, who is pretty much a major tool, doing illusions on unsuspecting people. If you can sit through the episode without wanting to hurt the nearest person dressed like a douchebag rockstar then you'll be able to get the coffin couch that is pictured above. Worth it? Absolutley not.

As much as I despise how Emo looking Criss Angel is, I actually gave his show a chance when a random marathon came on some months back.

It was pretty entertaining: I think he gets too much shit.

That's probably the least incentive anyone has ever had to do something.

@ gamadaya,

Haha. My sentiments exactly. I'm not only not going to be logging into Home, let alone sitting on virtual furniture. but I'm also not going to be watching Criss Angel. The fact that he looks emo has nothing to do with it.

Is Sony *still* trying to make "Home" seem like "Second Life"? Unbelievable...

@Magnalon and Los

Really? I've seen the show and I can't stand the guy. Real magicians do their thing on a stage and don't pay people to stand around looking hip and acting amazed.

@Daed
In my opinion, it's all fake, so if it's a stage show, street performance, it's all the same, provided it's interesting.

If it makes you feel any better my favorite magicians are Penn and Teller, haha, I just think Criss puts on a good show.

@ Magnalon: He gets too much shit because he has been known to act like douchebag a lot. Also, he bangs all types of hot chicks so naturally most men hate him for this alone, although they use his general douchebaggery as their cover up for this.

Still, I give the guy credit, he's an incredible magician on the whole, although the levitating over the Luxor hotel was a bit ridiculous.

I'll only watch this if he appears to the sound of The Final Countdown.

Illusion, Michael. A trick is something a whore does for money... or candy.

I was in the Home movie theatre yesterday, the new multiplex, and they had different rooms dedicated to the PlayStation Blog videos, PS3 and PSP videos, movie trailers and featured games. But one of the theatres was playing a Shakira music video over and over again. It was awesome. I may suffer for this couch is what I'm saying.

Oh and I'm ranked 38th on the Resistance 2 "Barrels of Fury" minigame :p

@Mag

Penn and Teller are awesome as magaicians but I love them for Bullshit! and that game they made for the sega CD, that was pretty rad too. I still hate Chris Angel though. His shows and commercials make me facepalm with such velocity that it's a wonder I haven't knocked myself out yet.

ender_x's comment makes me laugh.

Sweet coffin couch. I'll ironically enjoy a 'mindfreaking' for one.

It certainly is a good thing that the rest of television is live and real.

I mean... who wants to watch something fake, even if it is meant for entertainment?
