In case you didn’t know, StarCraft has been around for quite a while. It’s also a professional sport in South Korea. If you get curious and watch the pros play, you’ll quickly see that no matter how good you think you are, you suck. Well, no longer. I have a foolproof strategy that will help you climb to the top ranks in no time!
Science fiction and video games…if you’re like me, and I know I am (ba-dum-ch!), you’ll turn your head at either one of those things. StarCraft II takes both of those things, adds a western-ish-y theme, and puts the player back into the driver’s seat of commanding an army once more.
It was no surprise to me when I heard that this movie was coming back into theatres in 3D. With the way the entire franchise has been redone, rereleased, reformatted, rereleased, redigitized, rereleased, redone again with extra scenes, rereleased…blah. How many times can George Lucas cash in on the same set of movies? Turns out…a lot. Anyway, with Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace fresh in our minds, there may be no better time to take a look at why some people considered this movie to be a huge disappointment.
Spock is back and he’s better more logical than ever. The actor who plays him, Leonard Nimoy, also happens to be directing this movie. Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home was released in 1986 and picks up shortly after the events of the third movie. Out of all of the “Trek” movies, most people are quick to remember this one…more on that in a minute.
Time. Time is against us. No matter how much time we think we have, we always conclude that we won’t have enough of it to do the things that need done. We can’t go back and change the past and we can’t go forward to see the future. We’re stuck right here in the present, subconsciously aware that time is passing us by, one precious moment at a time.
I just tried Wii Fit Plus recently and I hate it already, though for all of the wrong reasons. I suppose this requires a little bit of explanation.
You would think that developing an entire movie for the purpose of bringing a beloved character back would be dull and drawn out. Having just watched it a few days ago, it turns out however that it wasn’t as boring as I remembered it.
In case you haven’t heard, and judging from the amount of coverage this is getting you probably have, something was seen dripping down Christina Aguilera’s leg during Etta James’ funeral. What was it? Well readers, never fear, for I have the answer.
1982 was a good year. I was a year old, the Commodore 64 was introduced, and another Star Trek film was released. I like to think that I had a hand in helping to make this awesome movie…trust me, it makes for some interesting fan fiction. At any rate, let’s take a stroll down memory lane and take a look at the movie that breathed life into Star Trek once more: Star Trek II: The Wrath of…
Chess is not only a game of strategy, but also of risk. Players sometimes take chances in the hopes of either psyching out their opponent or pulling off a “hail mary” that has a limited chance of succeeding at great risk to them.
Every year that little rodent pops up to do what weather forecasters fail to do on a weekly basis: predict the weather. Okay, so maybe Punxsutawney Phil is cute and all, but what are the real origins of Groundhog Day?
Psychology and philosophy have always fascinated me. In fact, one of my favorite classes in high school was psychology. It’s been said that we only use about ten percent of our brains. Somehow I can’t help but wonder if that plays a part in answering the question I sometimes ask myself…”Why am I, me?”
What happens when you combine World of Goo, Lemmings, and Populous? You mean to tell me you’ve never heard of any of them? *Sigh* Well all right then, we’ll do this the hard way.
Okay, so you’ve either watched all of the Star Trek: The Original Series episodes I reviewed on my blog or your became even more skeptical and you decided to wait and see if there was a movie you could watch instead that was perhaps a little better. If the latter, you’re in for a rude awakening if you think Star Trek: The Motion Picture will fill that void.
Another indie game snuck up on me and turned out to be pretty good…then again, I have a hard time saying no to games that promise to make me think and strategize. It helps to have delusions of grandeur and the overwhelming urge to take control of everything because dammit, you just do it better than everyone else. Fact.
For the young person, taxes can be a scary thing. Most high schools (at least, the ones around here) don’t go over something as important as taxes when they should. As an accountant, I could probably write a hundred pages on the subject, but if you’re like most people, all you’re concerned with is whether or not you’re getting anything back after you file. This article is dedicated to the newbies who need a little help with the basics.
