For those of us unable to make it to Germany for Oktoberfest I may have stumbled across the next best thing… Brewfest. One minor problem though, it’s in Azeroth, so you’re going to need a World of Warcraft account. Once you’ve got that sorted, head to the beer garden outside the dwarven capital city Iron [...]

Raise your hand if you remember the 1980′s cartoon Silverhawks… Even though it wasn’t the longest running series in history, it still occupies a special place in my heart. As a young fella, I wanted to be able to sprout metal wings and fly. Amateur psychologists can make of that what they will. For those [...]

Today I have some late night TV infomercial gold to share with you. If you’ve already seen this, please feel free to skip straight to the parody version. For those unfamiliar with the Snuggie, it is an innovative powerhouse of a product, it’s a blanket… with sleeves! Glorious. The Snuggie is designed to keep your [...]

Here’s an interesting little bit of information I stumbled across while randomly surfing through wikipedia this evening. It relates to World of Warcraft, so nerds can rejoice. For those unfamiliar with the game, your character can pick up diseases and/or curses when battling the enemy. Like in the real world, these things can be a [...]
