Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers Review

June 26, 2009 by Micah Bleich

Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers

I'll be up front. I'm a huge Magic nerd. You might doubt my nerditude levels because of the "oh-so-clever" image that accompanies this post, but I assure you, I'm bonafide nerdtastic.

You might think the fact that I played the paper game of Magic since it's second set (called Beta) until about 2 years ago when the price of booster packs went up higher than the cost of cigarettes, weed and gas. Again though, you'd be wrong. My deep love of the paper game actually skews my perception of the new Xbox 360 Live game negatively. I'll try however to exorcise the demons of fan boy rage in order to give you a fair and informed view of the latest digital installment.

Through Sims, Life Goes On

June 22, 2009 by Johnny Ramirez

The Sims

Brad Morely was a rising star in the world of architecture. At 27 he made waves at Perkowitz + Ruth with his outside the box thinking and quickly left to branch out & make a name for himself. His cutting edge designs brought him celebrity status and put his small firm, Fully Erect, on the map. Soon after his career began to skyrocket, Brad also celebrated the birth of his newborn daughter Megan Fox Johansson. Everything had been going his way. He had a beautiful 5 story house out in Rancho Palos Verdes and his wife recently became a model for the Italian fashion house, Fendi.

Tragically this was all taken away last week when Brad suffered a massive heart attack at his home on Thursday. And even more tragic, none of this was real. His accomplishments were achieved by his profile character “Brad-a tat tat” for the Sims 3 video game. Outside of this virtual world, Brad was a Barista at Starbucks who was struggling to keep his 30 hours a week for the coffee empire. His girlfriend, Sandra, came home to their apartment Thursday night around 7 when she found him slumped over in his usual spot on the couch with the TV blaring. On the table was a pack of cigarettes, some chips, 3 layer bean dip, and a diet coke. He hadn’t visited the doctor in over 3 years, but reports indicate that heart attacks were common in his family. Sandra was heartbroken, but had this to say,” Brad was a great guy. I can’t believe he’s gone. But I’m going to keep Brad’s legacy alive by continuing his game in his memory.”

Recheck your credit card balance -- if you're close to the limit, now is the time to settle up. There are lots of ways to manage debt like shaking trees and selling the apples that fall out. If you didn't understand this piece of advice, it's because you don't play Animal Crossing, and therefore, are not a complete idiot. Congratulations.
