Why I hate Uwe Boll.

If you’re not familiar with the man I’ll fill you in. He’s the terrible, German born, movie director who has ruined many a good name of popular video game franchises. He’s responsible for one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen: Alone in the Dark. What makes the hurt even worse is that I really [...]

Essay Project #2 Idea

I was thinking that I would write my essay on the ethical dilemma of downloading movies off the internet. I would argue the two points, giving pros and cons for each side, but I would more strongly advocate the action than condemn it. For the pros I would write about how terrible of a state [...]

Every store clerk I’ve encountered at Gamestop has [...]

Would I give a dollar to a homeless guy?

Of the four choices given in class I’d say I would put myself under “Not usually but..”. Usually I look down on the homeless as people who’ve let themselves be swallowed by addiction. I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that all homeless people are addicted to either drugs, alcohol, or some vice. [...]
