Kontroversial Keith: Saying It and Meaning It.

  • 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…

  • The Reason Why America is Screwed Long Term

    While Democrats celebrate their victory for avoiding the government shutdown, what was highlighted in all of this turmoil was the weakness in the way the government is run at the moment. 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: LFR Merits and Issues

    There are a good number of people who hate LFR. Many wish it never came into existence in the World of Warcraft. Some people also claimed that LFG destroyed server communities. However, I think many of the issues with LFR, and before that LFG, were the result of poor experiences in LFR and to a…

  • 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…

  • Baldur’s Gate 2: Just Beat Throne of Bhaal for the First Time

    People might wonder, “Why did it take you so long to beat a game that’s over 10 years old?” My reply is that I just have been distracted and never really put the time and commitment into going through the entire game. I’ve defeated Shadows of Amn a few times but for some reason Throne…

  • World of Warcraft: Finally Got My Legendary Meta Gem

    After procrastinating for so long, I decided to finally do the scenario for the Thunder Forge. I might’ve died 3-4 times but I had prepared in advance by purchasing speed potions, watching videos and getting advice from numerous people on how they managed to conquer this scenario. Now, I want to share my experience as…

  • World of Warcraft: Patch 5.4 Not Really Exciting Me (aka How Blizzard Screwed up With Siege of Orgrimmar)

    Patch 5.4 is really not the greatest patch released, for me at least. The new Siege of Orgrimmar raid is more tedious than something I look forward to and LFR has been in the pits. I find the Timeless Isle to be draining rather than an exciting spot to hang out. Most of the time,…
