  • World of Warcraft: Last Stand of the Zandalari LFR Experience

    Just got done with the latest LFR wing for the new Throne of Thunder raid. Immediately, after entering people started dying. I couldn’t tell if I entered in the middle, end or what. Fortunately, I started from the beginning because I would’ve gotten really pissed in having to wait another 40+ minutes. For my first…

  • World of Warcraft: Patch 5.3 and 5.4 Speculation

    Recently, it was announced that patch 5.2 would be the last major content patch that updates the Pandaren environment. The focus here on out will be the war between the alliance and the horde. It was also announced that patch 5.3 will be similar to patch 5.1 in being a smaller content release while 5.4…

  • Domain Modeling: Why Most Architectures Suck at this Level

    Ever notice that when you go to a company that supposedly uses an MVC structure, there’s an inevitable problem when it comes to controllers and models? Most people won’t fuck up the view section since even the lamest front end programmers know how to separate html from business logic. However, even seasoned backend developers tend…

  • Lego City Wishes

    In completing my Lego City review of the 10218 Pet Shop set, I decided to write up a small blog on a possible wish list. Right now, I’m quite happy with the direction Lego has gone with regards to the types of city structures. Most city structures over the years had a 2-3 revolving year…

  • World of Warcraft: Isle of Thunder Experiences

    When Isle of Thunder first came out, I did a few dailies. But the sheer number of mobs ended up frustrating me pretty badly along with all the chaos of people swarming the area. It’s calmed down quite a bit but still has more people than older daily zones. While other guides do exist, I…

    Lego 10218 Pet Shop Review

    The Lego 10218 Pet Shop City set is another modular downtown city structure that hard core town collectors will absolutely love. Like the other downtown city structures, this one is three stories high and can be connected via the sides to other downtown city structures. However, the building itself has an additional divider that allows…

  • Homeless Tent City in NJ

    Saw a sad article on Yahoo which talks about a tent city facing possible eviction from a judge. The problem about the eviction is that it seems the complaints are from local residents who criticize the group for the filth and various regulations. But outside of stench, the truth is that it seems these people…

  • World of Warcraft: 40+ Minute LFR Queues

    I mentioned how I’ve switched from World of Warcraft to Starcraft 2. Between the two, I briefly went to Diablo 3 and cleared half of Act 3, becoming bored and almost falling asleep in the process. Part of the reason I stopped was that a friend of mine (actually the only remaining true friend I…

  • Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm, Doing Campaign Normal Mode and Brief Thoughts

    Today, I pretty much got bored with World of Warcraft and Diablo 3 even. Needing a new gaming fix, I decided to say fuck it and pick up Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm. I already know the campaign ending as I watched Kripparian play through the last parts when it came out. Just to…

  • Iron Maiden: Clive Burr Passes Away on March 12, 2013

    I was extremely sad to hear about Clive Burr’s passing a few days ago. It made the top of Yahoo’s trending items, which is how I discovered this tragedy. As a long time Maiden fan, I will say that Clive Burr perhaps is one of my personal favorite drummers of all time. Although I like…
