Current Events, Finance, Lists, YouTube | 06 July 2015

Amid financial ruin, Greece just had their bailout referendum on whether they will agree to the conditions set by the European Commission, the International Monetary Fund, and the European Central Bank (they voted no). Elsewhere, stock markets in China have experienced their biggest plunge since 1992. The last great economic recession we’ve had was back in 2008 with the American housing crash, and we may be in the verge of another one.

This year, I’ve compiled some of the best moments that I had been able to catch, whether they’re surprising upsets, absolute blow-ups, or just straight-up hype matches. (more…)

Blog, Lists, Video Games | 22 December 2013

There’s this chain message going on in Facebook as of this writing with people listing the top ten games that have stayed with them in some way. Since it’s about video games, I had to post one as well. However, I had too many things to say about my top ten, so I uploaded it here for posterity. (more…)

Lists, Video Games | 12 January 2013

I had a lot of fun with all of these games and I would like to share my experiences to you, so here are my top ten games for the year 2012. (more…)
