Labrador Retriever: A Sweet and Gentle Disposition; Excellent and Efficient Skills and Talents - (USA)
by Troy Richardson Who wouldn’t be familiar with this particular breed when it is hailed by the American Kennel Club as the most popular pet in the US?

Anyone who comes across this beautiful breed couldn’t help but fall in love and when you hear the name, you picture out genuine gentleness and loving companionship. The Labrador Retriever is a native of Newfoundland Canada but beca

Long Roads and Short Tempers - (USA)
Most people in the United States of America have gone on a vacation. Even the less blessed among us tend to find a way to make a fun trip every few years. That list of less blessed grows when children are thrown into the mix. Not to say that children are a bad thing, but they certainly add a whole new level of obstacles (or even an entire obstacle course!), especially on trips exceeding an hour. Heck, sometimes it only takes thirty minutes for something “interesting” to happen. And on ro

First Impressions: Dungeons and Dragons Online, Eberron Unlimited Beta. - (USA)
Dungeons and Dragons Online, Eberron Unlimited is in its closed beta phases. However the NDA has been lifted and I write this review fully aware that certain aspects of the game are subject to change before launch. I have to admit; when this was a subscription based game I totally ignored it. But since they decided to turn this title to the free-to-play/RMT market it’s been getting some attention. I wrote a two part article on how some community players felt about the change, and even got som

Piracy and the PC - (USA)
One simple word can describe the state of Piracy within the free market: Sealand. In 2007 founding members of the BitTorrent tracker The Pirate Bay started a campaign to free themselves of the ‘tyrannical’ international and domestic copyright laws by simply circumventing the whole issue in it’s entirety by buying its own sovereign nation. Built in World War Two as a defense platform to deter German interference in British shipping lanes, HM Fort Roughs (Which would later go on to claim Independe

Great Games - (USA)
Over the Christmas holiday’s someone suggested we play a game we use to play in college (Sardines). My first reaction was “we are too old for that and “it will be boring”. I realized that I was displaying the first symptoms of old age. We went ahead and played the game and had a great time. So as a reminder to myself of the importance of having fun, we’ve compiled this list of fun group games. If you have any suggestions, please add them in the comments. 1. Sardines This is kind of

Surround Yourself with Positive People - (USA)
A few years ago I made friends with a guy I met at a self improvement seminar. It was his second time attending the seminar; apparently he had gotten incredible results the first time around. According to the guy, he had lost 50 pounds, had given up drinking and drugs, was cured of his ADD, stopped working 14 hours a day every day of the week, started exercising daily, dramatically improved his marriage and family life and started a successful new career–all after attending the seminar.

Read, Download, Play: Stone Loops! of Jurassica - (USA)
Puzzle games have historically operated on the rule of three. Groups of three, three hits, three colors and three lives. Stone Loops! of Jurassica doesn’t defer from this rule of thumb, but it implements enough new features and tweaks, which give it a slight edge against similar Zuma-esque games on the app store. Stone Loops by Codeminion and PlayCreek Operate on the generic ‘match three’ mechanic. There are a line of balls trying to clear the level through intricate and windy paths

Internet Personalities #1 - (USA)
The Internet is a whole different world, separate from the real one that we all live in. It has its own quirks and its own jokes. The memes that have spawned countless nights of laughter and eye gouging have only increased as the years go on. Video games are marketable now and more and more people are talking on forums. The people in these two endeavors, once bunched together as simple social outcasts, have formed their own interpersonal realities that they live and embody here on the Internets.

Author Interview: Carol Lynch Williams on The Chosen One - (USA)
Carol Lynch Williams is the author of several books for young readers, most recently including The Chosen One (St. Martin's, 2009). From the promotional copy: Thirteen-year-old Kyra has grown up in an isolated community without questioning the fact that her father has three wives and she has twenty brothers and sisters, with two more on the way. That is, without questioning them much---if you don’t count her secret visits to the Mobile Library on Wheels to read forbidden books, or her meeti

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: The Manhattan Project review (NES). Is it as good as the others? - (USA)
TMNT III: The Manhattan Project is the sequel to Turtles 2: The Arcade Game, which was one of the most well received Turtles games and is the most fondly remembered. Because Turtles 3 is sandwiched between two of the best Turtles games in the series (Turtles 2 and Turtles 4: Turtles in Time), that means that it is also the most overlooked. In fact, the reason I choose to review the game is due to the fact that you always hear people talk about Turtles 2, but they never seem to remember or men

iPhone TV: Top iPhone Apps for Live Streaming Television - (USA)
Earlier this year, Apple submitted a spec to the IETF for live streaming multimedia content over HTTP, leading some to suspect that a live video protocol would soon be making its way to iPhone and iPod devices. With the new 3.0 version of the iPhone OS, that HTTP live streaming protocol became a reality , and while there were already a handful of live video apps on the iPhone, they’re presumably now a lot better.
