  • World of Warcraft: Siege of Orgrimmar Review

    I’m starting to farm Siege of Orgrimmar at the LFR and somewhat at the Flex level. Having now done all the bosses, I wanted to delve into some thoughts on the Siege of Orgrimmar, including what was good, bad, rating the fights from difficulty to fun.

  • 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…

  • Symfony 2 Impressions Thus Far

    Although I gave Ruby on Rails a small try a little while back, I ended up not choosing it as my framework for the moment mostly because I felt that there was a double learning curve in familiarizing myself not only with the Rails framework but Ruby as well. I still would like to give…

  • Website Review: CougarLife

    A friend of mine mentioned that his friend ended up using a dating site for Cougars called CougarLife and had some marginal success. I heard about it here and there but never really bothered with it since typically those sites end up being scams or having a very shady component to them. Since it was…

  • Old School Kung Fu Movie Review: Master of the Flying Guillotine

    [embedplusvideo height=”388″ width=”640″ editlink=”http://bit.ly/12FmHsl” standard=”http://www.youtube.com/v/8G0LYfxVq0s?fs=1″ vars=”ytid=8G0LYfxVq0s&width=640&height=388&start=&stop=&rs=w&hd=0&autoplay=0&react=1&chapters=&notes=” id=”ep4736″ /] I went on a bit of an old school Kung Fu binge this weekend, checking out both Shaw Brothers and non-Shaw Brothers clips over on YouTube out of nostalgia. I ended up stumbling across Master of the Flying Guillotine, which I never up until now had seen…

  • Website Review: Eat 24 Hour

    A while back I caught a video by Jenna Marbles where she talked about some of the sins she committed during her Christmas break. One of the poor decisions she admitted to was order Chinese delivery to her home at odd hours of the day. Although what she did to herself probably wasn’t a great…

  • Movie Review: The Social Network

    Although The Social Network has been out for a few years now, I decided to write a review (or perhaps my interpretation) of the movie. I had been meaning to write a piece on The Social Network for sometime now, but either was hampered by time, lack of inspiration or just plain forgot. Also, the…

  • World of Warcraft: DPS Class/Spec Review for Patch 5.3

    Mike Preach has come up with some interesting videos discussing whether you should roll a certain class or not. I felt inspired by a lot of his commentary and wanted to throw my two cents into the mix by examining the DPS roles of classes and specs I’ve played in this expansion so far. Retribution…

  • World of Warcraft: What Mist of Pandaria Got Right/Wrong

    Now, that patch 5.3 had some time to settle in and with certain talks about 5.4, I think we can say that the expansion probably is getting close to the finish line. Everyone expects the Garrosh raid to most likely be the finale for Mist of Pandaria in terms of content. If that’s the case,…

  • William Gibson’s Zero History

    I mentioned that I completed William Gibson’s Zero History last week. The novel is the last part in the triology and marks Gibson’s latest attempt to partake in current fads. The book reads more like a brand label name dropping exercise as opposed to a story. The characters are flat and unremarkable and the dialog…
