World of Warcraft: How I Plan to Gear My Druid from Boomkin to Feral and Other Gearing Thoughts
My druid is pretty decently geared as a boomkin. Having just won one of the Sha Touched weapons and some tier gloves, she’s pretty much ready to go for the new LFR. However, there are times when I just simply prefer to play her as feral. However, I haven’t spent as much time on that…

EA CEO Steps Down and Implications for the Gaming Industry
Recently, EA’s CEO stepped down. Part of it comes in speculation of the disaster for the latest SimCity DRM issues. However, it was said that EA’s projections were on a downward slope, which motivated this (more than likely). The SimCity DRM issue more than likely just highlighted one of the problems with EA in general.…

Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm and World of Warcraft Pontifications of the Day
Last night I spent finishing up most of Heart of the Swarm. I’m either at the final or next to final campaign, having done all the sub-missions and only missing one objective thus far (at least from what I’m aware of). I ended up switching after getting frustrated from World of Warcraft’s inexplicable lagginess that…

World of Warcraft: Last Stand of the Zandalari LFR Experience
Just got done with the latest LFR wing for the new Throne of Thunder raid. Immediately, after entering people started dying. I couldn’t tell if I entered in the middle, end or what. Fortunately, I started from the beginning because I would’ve gotten really pissed in having to wait another 40+ minutes. For my first…

Domain Modeling: Why Most Architectures Suck at this Level
Ever notice that when you go to a company that supposedly uses an MVC structure, there’s an inevitable problem when it comes to controllers and models? Most people won’t fuck up the view section since even the lamest front end programmers know how to separate html from business logic. However, even seasoned backend developers tend…

Lego City Wishes
In completing my Lego City review of the 10218 Pet Shop set, I decided to write up a small blog on a possible wish list. Right now, I’m quite happy with the direction Lego has gone with regards to the types of city structures. Most city structures over the years had a 2-3 revolving year…

World of Warcraft: Isle of Thunder Experiences
When Isle of Thunder first came out, I did a few dailies. But the sheer number of mobs ended up frustrating me pretty badly along with all the chaos of people swarming the area. It’s calmed down quite a bit but still has more people than older daily zones. While other guides do exist, I…

Lego 10218 Pet Shop Review
The Lego 10218 Pet Shop City set is another modular downtown city structure that hard core town collectors will absolutely love. Like the other downtown city structures, this one is three stories high and can be connected via the sides to other downtown city structures. However, the building itself has an additional divider that allows…

Homeless Tent City in NJ
Saw a sad article on Yahoo which talks about a tent city facing possible eviction from a judge. The problem about the eviction is that it seems the complaints are from local residents who criticize the group for the filth and various regulations. But outside of stench, the truth is that it seems these people…
