  • SMISKI Collectibles – Series 4 Box

    There is a Kinokuniya bookstore across the river in Edgewater, NJ. We stumbled onto it while we were looking for the Trader Joe’s that’s a few minutes up the road. Kinokuniya is a Japanese bookstore. The first time I visited one was with my wife in Singapore. They have a large selection of Japanese and…

  • Destiny 2 Gameplay & Criticisms – Public Events on Nessus and Crucible

    Destiny 2, despite its obvious flaws and drawbacks, is a pretty fun game. I mean, I can’t understand how Bungie released a second Destiny game that doesn’t have an area, zone, or Clan chat channel. They claim they want you to make friends in the game that you can play with, but how can you…

  • Book Review: Soul of the Fire, by Terry Goodkind

    I enjoyed the exercise in world building that this book seems to represent. The author laid out the history of Anderith and then used that foundation to give us a story about political intrigue and domination. I also enjoyed how things played out at the end, though I’m not sure it made much sense. The common…

  • A Shout Out to Olive Garden and Starbucks for Veterans Day Offers

    Every year that I’ve been in the United States on Veterans Day I’ve had the opportunity to get freebies from various companies when dining out. For example, Olive Garden offered a free entree and Starbucks offered a free tall (small) plain coffee for veterans. I took advantage of both. There are other sites that have…

    8 Dead as Truck Careens Down Bike Path in Manhattan in Terror Attack A driver plowed a pickup truck down a crowded bike path along the Hudson River in Manhattan on Tuesday, killing eight people and injuring 11 before being shot by a police officer in what officials are calling the deadliest terrorist attack on…

  • Overwatch Halloween Skins

    So, I just fired Overwatch up for the first time in a few days and noticed this video in the launcher: Man, I hope it isn’t as hard to pick up these skins as it has been for previous events! They look awesome, especially Zen’s Cthulu look. I’ll definitely be sinking some time into acquiring…

  • Finding Parking in New York City

    Only someone who owns a vehicle in New York City knows the jolt and thrill of seeing an open, legitimate parking spot close to where you actually live, as well as that moment of hesitation when you realize a tree overhangs where your car will be.

  • The New Overwatch Map Should Be Fun. I Hope!

    Junkrat is one of my favorite characters in one of my favorite games. The loot system in Overwatch makes me want to scream sometimes (like getting quad dupes on anniversary event boxes), but I love the time Blizzard put into the characters’ backstories, like this one for Mei: I also like Overwatch because I can…

  • Raining Condoms on 13th St and Ave B in Manhattan

    //embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js Found a trail of condoms leading around the corner at 13th Street and Avenue B in Manhattan, New York City last night around 11:45 PM or so, July 21st 2017.I mean, who did this? And how did it happen? Was it a break-up because someone was cheating and someone girl was flinging condoms at…
