There are protests in New York (Occupy Wall st)

Oct 3, 2011

There are thousands of protesters in New York City entering the third week in their protest. If you don't know, or had no idea this was going on, its alright I live two hour away by bus and had little of an idea until a few days ago. This has to be the hardest spun story in U.S. media I've ever seen. These Occupy Wall st ( WIKI ) protests are barely mentioned on nightly newscasts because they'r...

Combating Mortal Kombat... and a lot of Fatality.

Apr 24, 2011

There are few things from my childhood, that not only hold up, but at least try to change in a way that makes sense for the time that it's in. After last Tuesday's release of the newest Mortal Kombat, I realized that franchise oddly fits. Although the nickname for this newest entry is MK9, I tend to split up the entries into two major trilogies. It's makes sense story wise, almost! First there...

Spot the Difference: The Caped Crusader and the Last SonofKrypton

Jan 28, 2011

I don't have much experience with massively multiplayer games like World of Warcraft . I just started playing that a few months ago, and it's going pretty alright. What really got me intrigued in the genre is DC Universe Online . So I'll most likely end up comparing those two particular games a lot. I've only had the DCUO game for about a week, and so far I like it. I haven't had any moments wh...

Award Knight

Jan 25, 2011

It's getting to be "that time of year" again. The Grammy's are a few weeks away, followed by the Oscar's two weeks after that. Those two events are supposed to be a celebration of the year's top chosen by the industries they represent. Neither of which I have any plans to watch. Now, I'm not saying these types of shows shouldn't exist, people can do what they want. And they do commend what they...

My take on EMA vs Schwarzenegger

Nov 14, 2010

Earlier this month, on election day, the Supreme Court heard opening oral arguments in the EMA vs. Schwarzenegger case. The EMA is the Electronic Merchants Association, and the case the governor of California is bringing to the Supreme Court in Washington DC, is a law that would ban "deviant violent video games" to minors. The law itself has been declared potentially unconstitutional by all of...
