In the past I had broken down an annual review into 4 posts to really focus on what I was reading and writing about. I am going to condense that this year. The blog was down this year – and pretty much tit for tat with my posting. I don’t get a huge amount of…
All posts in Politics (sorry!)
Can Big Data Save Politics?
Ugh. I know, political posts on gaming blogs. I promise I am not going to go all partisan. And my short style of writing may not be wholly appropriate for a topic of this magnitude, but doing it anyway. Considering it an entry discussion point! There is an election here in Canada. I have been…
Convenient Anger
Look, I get why people are mad at Blizzard and I had lower expectations than them a long time ago, so not surprised by what they did. I also don’t play any of their games right now anyway, so I can’t boycott my non playing, I prefer to play online games, here you can discover…
Property Rights and Wrongs :

Riot art designer Ironstylus on his thoughts on Champion remakes – Sivir, especially. Go read the original article though, he actually has a chesty, large, bouncing point – although the misquoted version is way better. (also…
Solution to the USA Debt Crisis
Yes, yes. Politics on a gaming blog is bad for business. However, I can’t resist! In the mid 90’s Canada faced a very similar debt crisis – debt to GDP pushing 70%. Outrageous spending. Madness. The Federal Party at the time was the Liberal Party of Canada (I can already see my Republican American…
Spinning Politics
I try not to write much when it comes to American Politics – it’s very polarizing and I’m Canadian. My University education was a joint honors in Poli-Sci/Economics so I do watch with much interest, and since what happens to my favorite neighbors to the south has an impact to us Canucks, it’s an important…
