  • The MMA Minute – A Brief History of the UFC, Part 2

    Last week we covered much of the history of the UFC leading up the purchase by Zuffa. As usual, I want to direct you to the article on Wikipedia, which is where most of this information came from, I simply merged a few articles together and added my two cents for entertainment purposes.

    So the UFC was floundering, it was up against government bans and was hemorrhaging money, unable to keep up without the income from the pay per views. After making some widespread changes to the rules and equipment allowed, they were able to secure U.S. sanctioning, but were on the edge of bankruptcy. (more…)

  • Easy Starcraft 2 Strategy: Protoss Rush

    Starcraft 2With the Zerg rush so common it’s become a meme, the Protoss don’t get the early game respect they deserve. If you’re new to Starcraft, or its been a few years since you played competitively, these builds will push you through the newbies on Battle.net and onto better hunting grounds. I’ll start out with an old favorite of mine.

    Tri-Gateway Zealot Rush

    The goal of this build is to have three warpgates come up simultaneously, with 5-6 zealots already built. Ideally a pylon is built in a corner near your opponent’s base so you can have the other 3 zealots warp in right as the other 5 are running by.

    I purchased Helsing’s Fire on the recommendation of my friend, Bob Sacamano (I told you about him in my last iPod game review).

So we both downloaded it and gave it a whirl, and both came away with the same reaction, we’ll get into it a bit after the jump. (more…)

  • I know a guy who knows a guy…

    When you know somebody trying to gain exposure, you try to help them out whenever you can. Fred brought you the last video, and now Mike Tompkins has released another solid entry to his library of covers. In case you missed the last one, he only uses his mouth and voice (and usually 1 other item, just not this time) to create his music.

    Even though the songs he usually picks I don’t care for, his versions are catchy,  the videos are fun, and this one is no exception. Be sure to check out his facebook and twitter pages for more info about him.

    Check out his YouTube channel if you like it and want to see some of his other work.
