History aside, I would like to discuss my opinion of the game and why I was so obsessively absorbed by it for two years. While WoW did dominate my life, I allowed it to for a good reason: I really enjoyed it. I feel Blizzard designed the game like a casino in that they didn’t […]
World of Warcraft: An Addict's Look back, Part One
(Due to the length of this article, I decided to split it into two parts) For those of you who know me personally, and those who have read this site since its origin, have most certainly noticed how little I have participated with the critical-hits discussions. I am, in fact, good friends with all of […]
YouTube of the Week: 50% More Melty Edition
While not, of course, as cool as the Yoda vs. Dooku fight, still a fun lightsaber video to watch. This one is a followup to their first lightsaber fight, though nothing has carried over from the first one.
A Bucket of Bolts Mailbox
Thanks to Jami over at his blog AZM for posting this one; I just couldn’t pass up posting it. Apparently the USPS is celebrating Star Wars’ 30th anniversary by unleashing a mob of R2-D2 mailboxes, which if nothing else look pretty darn interesting. “There are 80-something postal districts around the country, most of which are getting four of the […]
Inq. of the Week: Sparta!
Last week we decided to test another actor vs. self poll, between Saruman the White, Dracula, and Count Dooku. Out of 30 votes, it looks like 40% of you chose Saruman, 40% chose Dracula, with the remaining piddly 20% going to Dooku. I have to agree, while some readers questioned the abilities and frailties of good old fellow Dracul, […]

Inq. of the Week: Lee vs. Lee vs. Lee
Last week we asked who would win in a fight: the Mutant Master of Magnetism and Manipulation, or some guy in a white dress. For whatever reason, despite my masterful arguments, 75% of you said that the “quasi-god with undefinable powers” would win. But along those lines comes a new potential fight that hopefully should […]
YouTube of the Week: Emperor's New Groove Edition
Made by G4, the Emperor finds himself in need of a new job…
Inq. of the Week: McKellen vs. McKellen
Last week’s Inquisition asked what your favorite Gaming-related tv show/episode or movie was, and it looks like the majority voted for the excellent episode of Dexter’s Laboratory titled D&DD. Good choice! This week we are asking perhaps the most important question ever asked in the history of the universe: {democracy:8} This is probably the greatest showdown […]
Review: Thief of Time
Title: Thief of Time Author: Terry Pratchett Year of Publication: 2002 Genre: Fantasy/Fiction Length: 384 pages in the hardcover version Rating: 3.5/5 – Worth buying second-hand. Review: Thief of Time is one of the many Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett. Although this one doesn’t spend all of it’s time in the “charming” city of Anhk-Morpork, […]
