Breakfast Topic: Thank you for the music

The very first time I made a character in World of Warcraft was way back during the original beta — I made a night elf. And then I logged in for the first time, and was immediately assaulted with visual eye-candy that has kept me entertained for over five years. But on top of the graphics, there was the music — something about the soundtrack just gelled the whole thing into a game I really, really wanted to continue playing


Final Fantasy XIII – First Impressions

I’m 14 hours into Final Fantasy XIII, which curiously enough means I haven’t even left the “tutorial” part yet, which lasts for about 20 hours before you are given basic functionalities like choosing your group members or choosing where to go.

Answering the StarCraft II Beta QQ

The forums, my email, hell even my voice-mail is full of QQ . “This is too hard! This is bullshit!This is imbalanced!” Now to a certain degree I can understand balancing issues and the fact that Blizzard’s matchmaking system needs a few tweaks and a much bigger player base to pull opponents from because as it stands now you have about as much a chance to face an equal enemy player as you do somebody ranked infinitely higher than yourself. But the game is far from broken and with a few minor tweaks, you can find yourself on the delivering end of the ass beating.

How broadband is like healthcare

A reader sent me a link to a NY Times article on the US National Broadband Plan , suggesting that this might be a “possible topic from someone with a world view” .

My apologies if that’ll sometimes sound a bit like Gevlon, only that I of course would be for redistribution, and he would be against.
