While on my travels for the Alienware Backpacking Challenge, I came across the “Play me, I’m yours” piano at St. Pauls cathedral in London. While waiting for my turn to play (our week 2 challenge was street performing) I was delighted when all of a sudden I started hearing Mario ...

Some guys tried to rob a LAN cafe but the gamers wouldn’t have any of it. You want my DS? HELL NO…
For this weeks challenge, I bring you Quake Life:
The funniest part about this is that it started with the roommate of Videl, who isn’t a gamer, but follows what Videl does. When we were walking home she all of a sudden said “lets play Quake” and started strafing down the ...
I’m in Italy now with the beautiful Quaker Videl and she has a little message:
Since I never really had time to post on my site about this, for those of you who don’t know I am doing the Alienware Backpacking Challenge, hence the lack of updates lately. If you’re interested in my travels, make sure to read my blog on the Alienware site as ...

Most people with a website today use google analytics to keep track of their traffic, stats etc etc. For a long time, I have been battling with google users for the top search terms that bring them to my site.
The reason this battle started was because once upon a ...
When New Zealand played their final match in the World Cup yesterday, many people were disappointed that they didn’t make it through the group. Why? Not me. I couldn’t be more proud of the All Whites and their first World Cup performance since 1982. Yes, I wasn’t even born to ...

I think it was a big day today for the All Whites as they got their first ever point in the Fifa World Cup when they managed to draw vs Slovakia.
Slovakia themselves are newcomers to the world cup since becoming an independent nation, and although neither team is expected ...
Not even the MSI GX640 can compete with this.
What features would your ideal laptop have?
I appreciate good advertising:
Now they just need to make an SC2 CGI movie!
First of all i’d like to issue a huge apology on the lack of updates of my website recently. This has been due to a relocation from Cologne (Köln), Germany to Rotterdam, Netherlands. I haven’t had internet for over a week (although 1 week connection time for internet is GREAT… ...
Lately i’ve been thinking about deleting my facebook account and this makes me want to all the more.
This morning the founder of facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, got into trouble over some IMs he sent back in 2004. At that time, Facebook was just for Harvard students and Mark was still ...
The game “Testament” aims to teach the younger generation about the old testament of the Bible. It’s another one of those games that’s supposed to make learning fun. According to Swedish publication IDG, it is surprisingly fun.

Reading the news every day is kind of depressing, especially when reading about silly stories of things like the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. I don’t even know why being gay is an issue to anyone with problems like starvation and homelessness still floating around. Anyway I found a couple ...
With the WCG Ultimate Gamer Season 2 auditions completed (perhaps they’re still in the selection process, I don’t know), it will still be some time before we are able to know for sure who the contestants will be. Those who did get in will be under NDA until the show ...
For many years, apple have poked fun at their Windows users through a series of commercials. But like a bully, Apple have no problem dishing it out but they can’t take it back. Comedian Ellen Degeneres chided the iPhone on their difficult to use keyboard among other things.
Apple demanded ...
Well this just warms my heart. Those guys at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) who are supposed to be policing the financial system in the US decided that there were more important things to do than pay attention to this recession. After all, what’s more important than watching barely ...
Heres something about WoW I just can’t understand. Aside from the monthly subscription fee (seriously, why even pay for the game if you’re gonna have to pay to play it month after month) but Blizzard are also genius in being able to charge for special in-game items.
This time it’s the ...
I might be a year late with this one but it was too hilarious not to post.
Meet Stephen Quire, a guy who’s gained e-fame from the above clip (and 8 others on his brothers youtube account). He’s flipping out about his mother cancelling his World of Warcraft account. I ...

The finished product is wicked!
I always love to find quirky, famous and interesting people who enjoy playing video games as a hobby and this has to be one of my favourite finds (up there with Robin Williams).
While browsing the wonderful world wide web, I stumbed across an interesting article released a few days ago. ...
It seems like April is the “air all the dirty laundry” month, as early this morning I woke to the news of the illegal gambling going on in the Korean StarCraft scene. A few days ago, American StarCraft player Dan ‘Rekrul’ Schreiber started to blow the whistle on illegal betting ...
Well obviously someone was going to invent this one as the joke practically wrote itself. Hip Handmades took it upon themselves to create the iMaxi, a giant iPad case in the shape of… yep… a sanitary pad.
With its durable vinyl outer layer and plush, quilted-cotton sleeve, the iMaxi helps ...
