SWTOR - The End of an Era (For Now)

2012-03-21T09:48:00.002-04:00

The end of an era which lasted for about 3 months. Picture above is The False Emperor in SWTOR with Theorimus, Keth, Thraken (my Jedi Sentinel), and W'jam. We had a blast in the time we played but the game needs a raid and group finder. Also - the balancing and difficulty for questing needs some love.

Overall - the game though is gorgeous and if you plan on playing it through to 50 you'll enjoy yourself. I've got a few more months of time to enjoy the 1.2 patch and then take a break as Diablo 3 and MOP expansion in WOW comes out.

40 Years and Counting

2011-12-16T09:15:00.002-05:00

Yep - today is my 40th birthday and I have to say - 40 isn't so bad. I'm pretty excited to open my presents later today, and just chill out and play some SWTOR. Thanks again to all of my birthday wishes over the past week - and I'm ready to join the 40+ club.

Just thought I'd finally bite the bullet and redesign/use the actual blogger templates. Really easy to use and apply to your blog - and I'm happy with the switch.

Mighty Max: The Maximum Man

2010-10-26T10:32:00.000-04:00

I actually scored one of these a few years ago. It was my favorite toy as a kid and it's still truly amazing given it came out 30+ years ago.

Mighty Max: The Maximum Man | CollectionDX: "Mighty Max is firmly in the mid-seventies Evel Knievel mode: a red, white, and blue action hero. It’s all very American, except for that head. Max’s chrome lid is obviously copied from the venerable Henshin Cyborg. Tomy’s nemesis Takara had experienced some success with its re-tooled 12” GI Joe figures, and I imagine that Max was Tomy’s attempt to replicate Takara’s success, but in the American market. The slavish replication of the chrome head is lame, but damn that head looks good. It’s like something out of a Russian Constructivist painting, angular and severe. And just look at this poor bastard. He may have a sweet motorized skateboard, but this man has known sorrow."

Burger King Employee Clocks Out, Then Clocks Customer

2010-06-23T07:43:00.001-04:00

Burger King Employee Clocks Out, Then Clocks Customer - The Consumerist: "Here's a lesson for all food service workers who intend on punching out a customer -- be sure to clock out before you unleash your fists of fury in the parking lot.

According to police in Lower Paxton Township, PA., a verbal argument at the local Burger King escalated from words to violence yesterday, when an employee at the BK actually stepped out of the eatery to throw a punch -- and a beverage -- at a customer in the parking lot; but not until after he'd told his manager to clock him out."
