The Five Venoms Movie Review
One of the most revered kung fu movies is the Shaw Brothers/Chang Cheh classic The Five Venoms. While there were previous movies involving various members of this particular cast, it was The Five Venoms that really skyrocketed the careers of five individuals that became Chang Cheh’s next round of superstars in his kung fu classics.

Bard’s Tale 3: A Re-Re-Review
With Diablo 4’s expansion coming up, I decided to take a break from that grind and look into another game. I did give Ultima 6 another shot but found myself getting frustrated with an abomination of an interface (yes, I’m getting old) and decided to look for something else to temporarily absorb my attention. Since…

Diablo 4: Made Small Progress with Sorcerer
I decided to test the new cable modem I acquired which complimented my increase in bandwidth recently. While I didn’t have terrible problems in the past, occasionally I would encounter severe lag in the game and couldn’t really figure out where the bottlenecks were since the game isn’t well optimized from what I can tell.…

A Long Way Home 1981 TV Movie Review
Ages ago, I had seen this movie probably just once on a network broadcast. Back in the day (not sure about now) they would have these specials at night from time to time, made for TV movies, usually a dramatization of an issue plaguing society. A Long Way Home 1981 focuses on a few issues…

Diablo 4: Latest PTR Impressions for Patch 2.0
I decided to try a little more of the PTR with the so-called Runeword drops being enabled as my biggest interest (along with the cheat vendor which honestly was the best thing in the entire PTR experience for me). Right now, I don’t have a good impression of Diablo 4 based on what I have…

Diablo 4: Patch 2.0 PTR Experience So Far
Finally, I managed to spend sometime leveling a new druid (because I couldn’t load my existing Eternal Realm characters earlier) on the PTR. I went with a Companion style Druid because it felt pretty strong and there were a few adjustments I wanted to make especially in anticipation of the real patch (i.e. Runewords) that…

Diablo 4: Tempering, Masterworking and Enchanting MUST Go (Rant)
If there’s one thing I can’t stand in a game, it’s wasting my time by being forced onto a hamster wheel and going nowhere. For all the number of people that supposedly works on Diablo 4, it honestly feels like one of the laziest contemporary games around. Outside of bugs, poor performance and other issues,…

Diablo 4: Runewords Being Added into Vessel of Hatred
The news has come out during the campfire chat yesterday about the new patch with the announcement of one of the most anticipated features that had been in demand for a while: Runewords. Runewords were introduced in Diablo 2 and were a favorite of hardcore fans due to being able to create special items using…

Diablo 4: Season 5 Sorcerer Fireball Build
While my Companion Druid was reasonably fun to play, the build I’ve been eyeing heavily has been the Fireball build. I’ve tried hybrid Fireball builds in the past where I’d mix Fireball with Meteor, using the Starfall Coronet and Gloves of the Illuminator. I started off with Chain Lightning but felt that it was simply…
