GTA IV
What I love about it: It’s cliche I know, but GTA IV is fucking awesome. Everyone and their dog ranked it 100 on the zero hour after it’s release; it’s ranked 98 on Metacritic for a reason

My 5 Favourite Social Networking Websites
The internet has come a long way since my first experiences with it in the early nineties. When we first got the internet at my house, I connected through a 9600 Kilobaud modem, using something I barely remember called Winsock and browsed around using good ole’ Netscape Navigator 2.0.

7 Money Management Tips from a Guy Who Just Figured Out How to Manage His Money
Back in my late-teens and early-twenties, I got myself into a little bit of money trouble. At the time it seemed like a lot of money trouble, but now looking back, because the dollar amounts were low, it really was only a little. However, I still learned a lot about managing money the [...]
