Eulogy: Kieron – My Ferret

  Note to Readers: If you couldn’t tell by the title, this is NOT a video game post. My ferret died late last night and since I fancy myself a writer, she deserves the attention. Kieron was a typical ferret. She lived to play, eat, poop and sleep. Not necessarily in that order. She was [...]


Construction Incoming

Just a quick heads up. There will be some major tweaking to the site happening in the very near future. It’s been put off for far too long. Hopefully there are no casualties…


Fear The ASUS Brand

When ASUS first announced the EEE PC I was instantly on board. The little machine was perfect for on the go computing, especially for conventions, had near-infinite battery life, cut weight to the feather division and cost around the same as a good graphics card. I was an early adopter of the platform, and enjoyed [...]


The Progression Of Quality

Instance Gratification is a project I’ve been working on for LoreHound.com for over a month now.  The idea is fairly simple, record players running through dungeons in an entertaining and informative way.   The idea spawned from an abandoned project for ProjectLore.com that would have focused on World of Warcraft instead of Dungeon & Dragons [...]


Project Lore By The Numbers

You’ve likely noticed that my posting quantity here has gone down a hair.  The reason is simple.  I’ve been incredibly busy trying to get my writing outlets in order since the (surprising) dissolution of Project Lore by DECA.  Many of you are (hopefully) aware that the majority of my effort has gone into launching LoreHound.com.  [...]


I’m Not Writing Previews Anymore

I’ve come to the decision after looking at my PAX East workload to stop writing previews. It’s not because I’m lazy, or think that the collection of titles at PAX East aren’t worthy. Many of them are. I do plan to write about the games that were on display, I simply won’t be writing in [...]


A New York Yankees Fan In Philadelphia

That’s me trying to throw up an NY.  I was quickly beaten to within an inch of my life.


Weekend Full Of Gaming = Dead Power Supply

After a weekend marked end to end by PC gaming my computer rolled over and died.  Upon cleaning up from the LAN party and putting Mr. Polygon Pusher in his rightful place he proceeded to lockup.  On a reboot he wouldn’t get past the BIOS.  Thinking I shook something lose or royally screwed up plugging [...]


Where’s The Original Content You Ask?

Okay fine.  I know I told you that iTZKooPA.com was live a few days ago and that there’d be new, original content on it, but things have reared their ugly heads.  Don’t fret, the original, and not so original, content will be coming soon. I’ve been spending most of my free time working on fine [...]


iTZKooPA.com Is Now Live

It’s been a long time coming but it is finally here.  iTZKooPA.com is officially live starting today, August 16, 2009. It is subsequently replacing my former blog at JoeUser.com.  I promise, this website will be updated far more often than that one ever was.   As you likely can tell the website is still undergoing [...]
