Just got home from seeing a rather awesome concert, my favorite Pirate Rap artists, MC R.
Although they did much less pirate rap and far more good rocking music. Read the rest of this entry »

It appears that Blizzard, the makers of World of Warcraft, are in the process of suing some company over a program (I assume) that is named “Glider”. The short version of events is this program plays the game for you, doing the more menial and boring things. The “technical” terms are “bot” and “grinding” respectively.
I’m not about to debate – or even discuss – the legality of this software, as I haven’t read the EULA of WoW in quite some time, nor am I a lawyer. What I am going to rant about – since this is my blog and I feel the need to rant – is the “fairness” issue, or possible lack there of.
Typically, in games, when something is unfair it is called “cheating”. But in this system, who is being cheated? Read the rest of this entry »

I’m planning on changing the look of the site again shortly. It’s a rather drastic change this time, as the entire user experience will be changed this time. That is to say, it’s more than just the eye candy that will be different – the way things are listed and shown are different.
Still have some work to go tweaking the existing theme though, so it could be at least a week before I get it ready to roll. It will also have to pass the Spy Test – if you know what I mean. 
Until then, I’ve provided some samples of the images used:
What you see there are the basic article splash images – many other sites use those to imitate the look and feel of a magazine. I thought it might be fun to move the site into that kind of a direction, and may start using them in the design of the site full time.
Granted, it’ll require a lot more time and effort on my part, as I’ll have to fire up Photoshop each time I post an article, but I think in the long run it could be worth it.
Worst case I just find a way to shoe-horn them into the existing theme.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present the
State of the Game Address
Please be seated.
As many (can all four readers be called a “many”?) of you know, I’m an avid gamer. Or, rather, I like to think of myself as an avid gamer, but in reality I’m more of an avid gadget whore who focused his skill points on games.
Either way you split it, I enjoy video games and talking about them, and as such I think it’s time to once again update on what I think of the current System Wars situation. Read the rest of this entry »
