Season 7 – The Apprentice – Week 5
The opening of the show with Omorosa hoping that Carol gets fired and then she is the first person to hug her when she walks in the door which was very telling of who she is as a person.
Unfortunately, that was a foreshadowing of a two hour distraction, that ended with Vinnie Pastore quitting and leaving the show.
Task: Soles United – Croc Awareness Campaign – Create an In-store receptacle bin.
The bottom line of the show this week is that… More »

North America rolls out welcome mat for Cabal Online
Now this is MMOtaku news: An Asian-made MMORPG is starting its open beta phase in the United States tomorrow. It’s wonderful to know that our games are making it to the scene in the Western world despite criticism that “they’re not good enough.” One complaint I’ve read about Asian-made MMORPGs is on “garbled English NPC texts.” I can understand that, especially if the game originates from China and South Korea, where English isn’t exactly a second language. But the job… More »

Guy Lafleur Surrenders to Montreal Police
Aw, Guy Lafleur – why are you doing this?!?!? I talked about his situation with his son a few months ago because I knew things were going to go downhill. His son, Mark Lafleur, was charged with sexual assault and uttering death threats against a 17-year old girl along with kidnapping and possession of drugs, including crack cocaine. So Mark was sent to live in a halfway house but then Guy admitted that he had helped him dodge a… More »

Asian firm bags license to operate Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning
I’m aware that Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning doesn’t exactly fall into the category “Asian-made MMORPGs,” but it’s entry into the Asian MMORPG market may excite most and upset some—or vice-versa. Me? I’m excited, being a big fan of the tabletop RPG and the PC games the Warhammer universe has spawned. Rumor has it that Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning can go toe-to-toe against World of Warcraft, which is undoubtedly the biggest—and most successful—MMORPG in the world today.
Let’s find out… More »

In advance of this week’s new episode of the L Word, which I’m guessing will include a lot of drama with our new couple, Dawn Denbo and her “lover, Cindi,” Leisha Hailey took some time to sit for a video podcast about the chemistry of all the actresses on the show and what it’s like to work for so many years with the same core cast. Take a look, and tune in Sunday to see what shenanigans the lovely ladies… More »

Microsoft’s IE8 Provides Opt-In Standards Compliance for Developers
Just read an article by Matthew Magain on Sitepoint that’s talking about the new opt-in meta tag function being developed by Microsoft for release in IE8. You may or may not have heard about IE8 passing the ACID2 test. Which I think should have been good news right? But it’s never enough for Microsoft, or more accurately, those who are always looking for something to pick on Microsoft for in their methods. I develop a lot of web pages… More »
