  • World of Warcraft: Enchants, Statistics and Gemming Discussion for Warlords of Draenor

    In the upcoming Warlords of Draenor expansion, one of the major features is actually a removal: enchants, statistics and gemming will not be the same. Part of this will stem from removing the reforging aspect and eliminating statistics which some feel probably do not really belong in the game anymore. I want to discuss some…

  • Movie Review: Wolverine 2013

    Since I don’t have anyone to hang out with for seeing movies, I tend to be a little late to the game when it comes to the blockbusters and such. As a result, I end up waiting until they come out on iTunes so I can pick them up. Unfortunately, that tends to bulk up…

  • YouTube: Google Why Do You Keep Sucking?

    I just checked into one of my YouTube accounts and noticed that the layout for the homepage as a logged in user has changed yet again. About a week ago, I had issues with users’ channel pages where the top menu bar disappeared under the banner. I managed to get around that limitation through adding…

  • Baldur’s Gate 2: Another Mistake and More Party Ponderings

    When I concocted my latest idea of a party in including Keldorn, my assumption was that he could use the Amulet of Power, thus making him immune to level drain. It seems that my version of the game might not have the correct patch, despite picking it up from GOG.com (which I heard had a…

  • Baldur’s Gate 2: Single Player or Multi-Player?

    One of the biggest questions a starting player might ask is whether to go single or multi-player.  What does both mean in terms of game play? Multi-player does not necessarily mean playing with other friends but just having the option to have more than one custom character in your party. The best option is to…

  • Why I Don’t Cling to My Mobile Device

    The digital culture has made phone technology an integral part of people’s lives. Driving on a busy street, you’ll often see people abandoning common sense and laws just to check out the latest messages on their phones. People in dense zones where space is a premium and walking is the norm, you’ll often time see…

  • Google: Don’t Be Evil, But We Do Harm? (The End of YouTube?)

    One of the so-called core philosophies in the way Google operates is their motto “Don’t be evil.” It was an idea adopted early on in the company’s lifespan. On top of that many of their product decisions was engendered through their “10 things” principles. As the company has grown to the mega-power over the years,…

  • Blizzcon 2013 Impressions

    Because of how far the Blizzcon 2013 convention was announced, I decided not to make any effort originally to try and pick up a ticket. When the time came, I ended up getting the Virtual Ticket. For $40 I don’t think it was worth the money. In fact, I’m not sure if I ever want…

  • World of Warcraft: Goodbye Again (Time Improvement Suggestions)

    Today, I decided to cancel my subscription to World of Warcraft for the 3rd time. I have to start focusing on my personal life again and re-building that aspect up. World of Warcraft, while fun, just takes far too much time and the way things have been, it’s been a fairly frustrating experience. What I…

  • Baldur’s Gate 2: Dual Class Mistake and Taking A Fighter/Mage/Thief

    I decided to give one of the parties I mentioned a try in terms of starting from scratch. What I attempted to do was create a cleric/swashbuckler. Unfortunately, I discovered the hard way that this combination was not possible, at least not in that order of creation.
