Fight Club Chuck Palahniuk Published: 1996 | Pages:218 Description: Orange Is the New Black Piper Kerman Published: 2010 | Pages:322 My Rating: 3/5 Description: Batman: Year One Frank Miller Published: 1987 | Pages:144 My Rating: 5/5 While the core story here feels like a Batman Origin story, there isn't a lot of real mean to it. Instead its a Jim Gordon Origin story that happens to coincide with Batman's early period.I enjoyed it quite a bit. It covers a one year period when Jim Gordon arrives in Gotham. Description: The Dark Knight Returns!In 1986, Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli produced…

World of Warcraft – Part 27 – Garrosh Hellscream… again…

I suppose I should be up front here, there are some spoilers for the Nagrand quest line. It’s a moment that was sure to come in Warlords, the return of Garrosh Hellscream.  The Orc who started all this mess with his Time Traveling craziness.  I have to admin, I’m actually a little disappointed.  I was kind of hoping he’s be a Raid boss, or at least a dungeon boss.  Granted the in game single player scenario events are kind of like dungeons, it just felt like Garrosh would get more.  I think I’m less disappointed in his death as I…

World of Warcraft – Part 26 – GrimRail Depot

During the original reveal of Warlords of Draenor, there was a short clip of a dungeon that takes place on a moving train.  A lot of people were pretty stoked for it, myself included.  It’s something that’s pretty unique compared to a lot of dungeons.  Most Dungeons consist of running through a castle or a cave of some sort killing monsters and bosses.  They are often divided into various wings or phases.  Grimrail Depot really isn’t much different than this set up, except you get the intensity of ridding on a moving train for much of the trip. The actual…

World of Warcraft – Part 25 – Level 100 and WoD So Far…

It hasn’t even been a month and I’ve already made it to level 100 on my Hunter, RamenJunkie.  I’m certainly nowhere near the first, it just feels like it was a pretty quick trip compared to going to 90.  i imagine this was intentional in Blizzard’s part actually.  Most of the “real game” happens at Max Level anyway.  I’m somewhere around 92 or 93 on Ramchan, still in the initial Garrison area.  I think part of why this felt so much faster than in MOP is that unlike MOP I wasn’t starting at level 1, fresh and new to the…

World of Warcraft – Part 24 – Making Professions Better

So, the latest expansion to World of Warcraft, Warlords of Draenor has been met with a lot of positive buzz, and it certainly seems to deserve it.  It does a lot of ambitious new things like the Garrisons, new play styles of Quest Hubs, a generally more cinematic experience, etc.  It also does a good job of simplifying the experience, a lot of this has to do with the level 90 boost and incentivizing people to "get back into the game". Personally, probably the best aspect is the professions. I really enjoy leveling professions, I’m not super sure why honestly…
