Zero Punctuation: Eve-Online
Despite the fact that Eve Online has just released some fairly fantastic updates, this elderly review of Eve Online warms my heart. Eve is a game for PVP fantatics. It’s not meant for wussy, whiney carebear PVE players. Since I prefer more cooperative to competative play, I fit more in to the carebear mold than [...]
Monty Python vs YouTube pirates
Monty Python has a great plan to stop YouTube pirates of their copyrighted work. How do they plan to prevent piracy of their material you ask? By joining the pirates in distributing that material via YouTube. After all, if they’re distributing high quality material on YouTube for free, then all the other pirates out there [...]
Project Diary: Xtools (9)
I’ve not made any updates lately because I’ve been learning AJAX coding techniques and I’ve been working instead on the hotfix parser. AJAX has a lot debate on what exactly it is (which is weird), but the definition used in the book that I’m reading (and on Wikipedia) is that it is essentially a client-side [...]

Zero Punctuation is NSFW.

Some humor for my Birthday;
Care of Phil DeFranco [Video NSFW, text all safe but may not stay that way].
I got drawn in to his website because of the cute Yorkshire Terrier in one of his YouTube videos.
Happy Birthday Jarod Martin!
It’s just a reminder, move along, nothing to see here.
Game Review: Overlord [Steam]
OVERLORD [Rated 81/100]
by Codemasters
Overlord presents itself as a game where your choices are Evil or Really Evil. But this is the kind of evil that makes you laugh. A spoof on multiple fantasy stories and games (it is said by the critics, although I didn’t get even half the references), Overlord is a game that doesn’t [...]
