Hobbies & Games > Video Game Culture & Community The possible link between video game violence and children's behavior: 7 of 42
Last night, I took the giant swords chained to my wrist and simply eviscerated a group of winged harpies. This, of course, was after I leveled them up by having "relations" with multiple females. And last week, my friend jacked somebodies car and ran over a couple of police officers. Of course, this all took place in video g... More..
Arts & Humanities > Comic Books & Graphic Novels Superman versus Spiderman: The superior superhero: 5 of 24
When you turn towards flagship characters, the two big S names come to mind. The Man of Tomorrow, Superman, and the Amazing Spider-Man. But who could possibly be the best? I've always been a HUGE Spider-Man fan, and who wouldn't be? He's a character who is easily related to, for starters. Money problems, crushes on women far... More..
Relationships & Family > First Dates A guy's guide to planning a first date: 6 of 22
Ah, the first date. Its a horrible experience for all, regardless of how well it goes. Everyone else seems to know more about the date than you do, and they all want to chime in. You're nervous, you barely know the person you're meeting (and in some cases, such as my most recent, haven't met them face to face), and you can't... More..

Its a dilemma all business people will face at some point: its time to take your company and promote it on that big, scary internet thing that everyone is talking about.

Business > Website Marketing & SEO How to grow a small business' website: 2 of 5
In a previous article, I detailed how to create a website for a small business with a budget of $500 or less. If you read it, you know its entirely possible to do for $240 to $400, but only if you're willing to get your hands a little dirty! Well, now its time to take that concept a step further and really stretch out that m... More..

Enhanced strength, speed, and agility, c... More..
Computers & Technology > Web Design Things that can cause web design to get annoying: 1 of 1
I've been doing several articles on web design now, and I've pretty adequately covered the highs and lows of basic building and marketing, but there are some things that can really get under your skin if you're not careful. With that in mind, let's take a look at some of the more aggravating, teeth grinding, hair pulling, an... More..
Computers & Technology > Virus Protection & Maintenance Tips on maintaining PC health: Computer viruses: 19 of 28
So you've finally set up a computer for the Internet! But you do have Anti-Virus Software, right? A "computer virus" is software installed, typically without the user's knowledge, that is intended to harm or alter the way your computer normally runs. This could mean something as meaningless as displaying a text message on yo... More..
Hobbies & Games > Video Game Reviews Video game reviews: God of War: Chains of Olympus (PSP): 5 of 6
So last Tuesday, I was informed that the new God of War game was hitting the PSP. "God of War: Chains of Olympus" was prepared by the nice folks over at Ready At Dawn Studios, who also did the Jak & Daxter spin-off "Daxter", which I never played but was generally reviewed really well (sadly, I've also learned that "GoW: Chai...
