[audio:http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/uploads/fallingdown.mp3] I’m going to go out on a limb and make an assumption about you, the person about to experience this review. If you’re above the age of university graduation, you’re working a job you don’t particularly like. Chances are, instead of being in a place where you do something that not only pays your… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Falling Down
Enough Hours
There are twenty-four hours in a day. Let’s be generous and say the average adult sleeps for 7 of those hours. You’re going to need to eat, too, so let’s allot an hour for each meal. That gives us fourteen hours to work with. Fourteen hours seems like a lot of time, doesn’t it? But… Continue reading Enough Hours
Welcome to Scrivener: Getting Started
Since I was asked… scriv·en·er (skrv-nr, skrvnr) n. 1. A professional copyist; a scribe: “Gutenberg’s invention of movable type . . . took words out of the sole possession of monastic scriveners and placed them before the wider public” (Irvin Molotsky). 2. A notary. Last week I gave an introduction to and brief overview of… Continue reading Welcome to Scrivener: Getting Started
Opening the Monster Vault
Image courtesy Worlds of D&D The adventures of our intrepid heroes in the Nentir Vale will continue, probably when Melanie Goodmelon’s player returns from vacation in New Orleans. In the meantime, Andrasian’s player and myself happened across a great discovery. Not due out for another week to most retailers, a local store got a copy… Continue reading Opening the Monster Vault
The Hunter In Cataclysm: Beast Mastery
With the Survival and Marksmanship talent builds for the Hunter class in World of Warcraft out of the way, all that remains is Beast Mastery. It’s been a long time since I’ve taken a long, hard look at this tree, since I spent most of my time in the specialization spamming my Steady Shot button… Continue reading The Hunter In Cataclysm: Beast Mastery
Take Time To Think
Human beings in the modern age love getting things as soon as possible. They seek out the latest gadgets, latch on to concepts that are easy to digest, choose a Big Mac over a slow-roasted side of beef cooked over a fire at home. Be it a burger, a toy or an idea, the less… Continue reading Take Time To Think
Game Preview: Minecraft
A lot of games are called “sandbox” games. They are games in which you can, allegedly, do anything you want at any time. Usually this term is applied to games like Grand Theft Auto or Just Cause 2. But those games have a lot of things set up for you: buildings, other people, weapons and… Continue reading Game Preview: Minecraft
IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Masters of the Universe
This week’s IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! brought to you by a generous donation by Rick Carroll. Thank you for your support! [audio:http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/uploads/he-man.mp3] The universe, be there a master of it or no, seems to have an interesting sense of irony. You see, I watched Toy Story 3 for the first time the night before I… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Masters of the Universe
The Hunter in Cataclysm: Marksmanship
Last week I kicked off an examination of the talent builds for the Hunter class in World of Warcraft since the class changed radically. I started out with Survival, my primary tree for most of the last expansion. This week we turn our aim to Marksmanship. This talent tree has also been re-balanced to have… Continue reading The Hunter in Cataclysm: Marksmanship
Welcome to Scrivener: Getting Around
Last week around this time I promised I’d be helping my fellow writers now deeply entrenched in NaNoWriMo by showing them how a little program called Scrivener can make things a bit more organized and smooth for them. I for one am the kind of person who feels the best way to get to know… Continue reading Welcome to Scrivener: Getting Around
