World of Warcraft: Monks, Ordos and Stuff
I’ve been really pushing my monk to 90 at the moment. I feel with the expansion nearing the end, I should just finish up leveling my monk and getting him to the spot where the rest of my gang is. Unfortunately, the leveling process feels as tedious as ever but being familiar with all the…

World of Warcraft: Playing the Windwalker Monk
I leveled my pandaren monk from 71-80 today. It took a fair amount of time but at the same time the entire episode felt quick. It might take me anywhere between a week or two to get him to 90. However, I wanted to share my thoughts on this class thus far.

World of Warcraft: Received Legendary Cape for My Paladin!
Currently, I have three main goals left in this expansion: 1) Kill Garosh on Flex; 2) Get the Golem mount; 3) Finish the legendary quest. Well, today I managed to get very close to completing one of my main goals as my paladin finally finished up the legendary cape portion. I will say that I…

The Future of Society in Terms of Earning Money
One major problem in first world countries is how unstable numerous economies are. I believe that the post dot com collapse created huge ramifications in destabilizing the job market for better and worse. Gone are the days of pension plans, life time employment/job security and the ability to plan long term. Instead, the market has…

Politics, like many aspects growing in Americans’ lives, are nothing more than a large spectator sport at this point, where nothing truly beneficial is…

World of Warcraft: Mogu’shan Vaults Redemption
I had a fun experience when I was trying to valor cap on my paladin. I figured that while I required a few hundred valor points to cap, I might as well do some of the older LFRs since they are pretty easy these days. Fortunately, they’re still being run by people looking to gear…

Symfony 2: Many-to-Many Relationships and Form Elements
One of the things I’m developing a love for with Symfony 2 is how Doctrine, forms and Twig work together in a fairly elegant manner. With a little bit of code and annotations, you can allow Symfony 2 to perform a lot of the heavy lifting and boiler plate code that normally is a pain-in-the-rear…

Baldur’s Gate 2: NPC Party Compositions
I prefer multi-player play more than the single player option just because of being able to have the ability to customize my party, even if i merely choose to create a single character. However, after writing a few lengthy articles on customized party combinations, I decided to put some thoughts down on using a single…

World of Warcraft: Overall Mist of Pandaria Evaluation
With the expansion coming to a close, I wanted to look at the whole picture for Mist of Pandaria. While there may be a patch or two prior to the next expansion, it’s pretty much a lock that more than likely there will be no new major content patches as the Siege of Orgrimmar along…
