Book Review: Sword Art Online Volume 1

Score: 9.5 out of 10

If you’ve listened to either last week’s GeeksFTW podcast or this week’s I Recommend podcast, you’ve heard me talk about the anime Sword Art Online {SAO}. This has become my new favorite anime, along with Death Note and Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. After I finished watching the show I wanted more. I’ve recently started reading the books. As of this review I’ve only finished the first book. I was going to review the anime itself [Everyone who likes anime should watch it. There quick review] but I realized that less people have read the books and would get more out of a book review. There are going to be minor spoilers in this review.

I Recommend- Episode 15

We are back for another episode of I Recommend! This time we have changed the format. We will be talking about Movie/TV News, Movies/TV we have watched at home as well as what we have seen at the theater! This podcast will also be weekly from here on out so look forward to more to come!

MMO Geek: A Public Service Announcement (Don’t be a jerk)

mmo geek

I want to make a PSA. But first, some context.

Yesterday, while playing my Troll Rogue on World of Warcraft (my current MMO darling), I completed the “Heart of Fear” raid for the first time. Now this raid has been out for quite some time (opened October 30th, 2012), but I recently found myself capable of running it due in part to gear level, and in part to finding the confidence to sit through a potentially volatile LFR group. For those of you who don’t play WoW or aren’t familiar with the concept, LFR stands for Looking For Raid, and its purpose is to group players together at random in order to tank down easier versions of raid bosses. It’s a great way for  a casual player, such as myself, to experience content that I would otherwise never have the opportunity to see. Now, great as this may seem, there are quite a fair number of jerks and idiots who use this service without any sort of social etiquette whatsoever. Courtesy is really optional for some as they click the little LFR button.
