Category: Games News, MMORPG's, PC | Comments Off

Aion the new MMO from NCSoft launched successfully last week. It is getting lots of attention, mostly good. The game thus far has not disappointed. Full review soon to come. I got to level ten in a very short time. For an average player 10 -20 hours would get you out of the newbie area [...]

Rabbid Recharging

Category: Editorials, Exclusive | Comments Off

I am counting up how many items that I have to remember to recharge tonight. It could be ten. There are two cell phones, and iPod, DS, Nikon Digital Camera, three laptops, and e-cigarettes. If it takes me ten minutes to find each of the said items, then match it up with its charger, and [...]

E – Cigarette Review

Category: Gadgets, Geeky Good | Comments Off

We are trying out two disposable E – Cigarette introductory trials. The first one that arrived is the No. 7 Tobacco flavor. We found that dropping the cartridge is bad. Don’t do that.

Dirt PS3 Review

Category: Game Reviews, PS3 | Comments Off

Auto customization – check. Variety of tracks – check. Top quality graphics – check. No female avatars (sigh) – check. Shiny, shiny cars – check. Dirt has everything that you would expect from an auto race game, and not much more. There isn’t anything to seriously separate this game from all the other race games [...]

Although the Ouija dangerously enters the participants into a contract with random and often deadly demons. The Kokkuri summons specific helper spirits [...]

Wet PS3 Review

Category: PS3, Women | Comments Off

Wet has a female avatar. It’s a shooter that has gameplay almost identical to Stranglehold. The graphics are disappointly grainly. There is a filter put on to make it look like an old film for some reason, and the crackly lines through the environments are distracting and unnecessary. It was perhaps used to make up [...]

Now while the debate over how bad ingesting sugars and high fructose corn syrup is heating up and the president wants to tax soda like cigarettes, a Dungeons and Dragons soda line is being offered. Once again late to the party D&D follows WoW and Final Fantasy in having their own signature beverages. The multi- [...]
