Juxtaposed Life

Wrath of the Lich King has been out for over over a month now, and there have been a lot of comments about it being the “easy” expansion. In one way I have to agree, since I have had my priest at level 80 for three weeks of the five week since launch, and have…

So many games; really, too many. Started with Fable 2, which has surprised me. Its fun, colorful, and pulls me in when I play it. Sadly a week later Fallout 3 arrives, a game I have been waiting for for a long time. It is spot on, captures the feel and a whole lot of…

I recently enjoyed reading The Name of the Wind, By Patrick Rothfuss. In some ways its a fairly standard fantasy novel, well really the first chapter in a larger tale, but in other ways it turns standard fantasy cliches on their head; starting with its changing perspective.
