Achievements Unlocked – Issue #1

I’m going to change gears a bit every so often and post a comic from the battleforum that I have made. Right now, my series is called Achievements Unlocked: The Comic Version.
It’s merely a time-waster project to update the comic page of our forum (which has gone dormant since our comic artiste – Exmoure – [...]

WTF on the WTO

The World Trade Organization talks went absolutely nowhere this month, causing everyone to point fingers at everyone else. However, all our allies are pointing the finger at the US. This doesn’t help an already declining opinion about our country internationally.

Iraqi Contractors Suck

2008 E3 Impressions

I’ll just sum it up in small bullets, so you don’t have to read walls of text:

PS3 Home – looks cool, but too God damn much that it won’t get used as much. Also, those who hated Second Life will probably hate this.
