A person infected by the evil Wendigo spirit may become withdrawn from society, and slowly descend into a hungering madness. Driven to seclusion and hatred, the victim is overwhelmed by an insatiable greed and appetite. The combination of ruthlessness, selfishness, and hunger cause the afflicted to eventually turn to cannibalism. Once a person has feasted on the flesh of their fellow human, there is no going back…

Some weapons, however, feel particularly rewarding to use. Not just because of their effectiveness, but their highly specialized (and often comical) natures lend them to a crazy and chaotic good time. The weapons I speak of, are the crafted ones…

Players have been given the slightest glimpse of the scarred Vvardenfell, from the southern coast of Solstheim in Skyrim’s expansion: Dragonborn. To be able to visit what was once a lush and beautiful world, to find it in shambles would be very disturbing, to say the least. Furthermore, so much of Morrowind has been left unexplored in The Elder Scrolls series…

Throughout the history of the World of Warcraft franchise, expansions have always brought major changes. From introducing new races and classes, expanding the list of classes each race may choose from, and adding new content, to overhauling major gameplay facets (such as talents, or the PvP system).
Walking into a brand new expansion comes with risks. I’m here to help prepare you for them!

As an avid fan of the Warcraft franchise, I’ve played every expansion of WoW (although only minimally in Cataclysm, and Mists of Pandaria). I’ve watched the game go from a life-consuming, fun filled, adventure of fantastical and social proportions, to becoming a slog, rife with social isolation that would make Carl Jung say “I told you so!”

Have you ever bought a game, a brand new release (for an ever growing price), only to find the game feels… broken? Unfinished? Half-assed? Maybe it is. But wait, there’s more. DLC, patches, microtransactions. Anything to have the large mechanical fingers of corporate gaming wrapped tightly on the utters of consumers. What are we really paying for?

There was a period where Creepypastas were so popular and prevalent that the community became thickly saturated in content, for better or worse. Many people came up with spooky stories that were either bad on purpose (eventually creating its own spinoff story style Trollpastas), jokes, or twisted tales based on pop culture…

While tourists flock to the major cities, one of the best kept secrets of the Czech republic is it’s unspoiled natural beauty. With castles to rival Scotland, rolling vineyards straight out of Tuscany, and forests & rivers reminiscent of the Canadian wilderness…

A lot of this food was based on necessity. Much of it is pickled, preserved, salted, dried, or fermented in order to help make it last through the colder seasons, when vegetation is more scarce, and food is harder to find. As we discuss this bold selection of backup grub, practice the difficult native tongue of Iceland by pronouncing the names of these dishes

The start of camping season marks the true start of summer; it is cottage trips, smoky BBQs, cold beers by the lake, fireside stories under the stars, and the sweet escapism of heading up North…

A good campfire meal after a day of adventuring is really what summer is all about, everyone sitting around the picnic table together, warming their feet over the fire, and enjoying a hearty meal…

You can’t talk about Icelandic food without talking about the world famous Icelandic Hotdog, Pylsur. This is almost kind of a fast food staple in the country.
I’d like to make note that fast food franchises in Iceland are not terribly common. The one we happened to see the most often was Subway. I noted one Dominos, and a KFC while we were there as well. Not that there isn’t convenient and tasty food available, there just seems to be healthier options more regularly available from the corner stores / grocery stores.

Every so often along the road outside of New Delhi we would end up going through small towns and villages. All of these villages always had at least one small shack set up where you could stop for food along your drive. Some were larger, and offered seating, others were no larger than a shack (barely able to provide enough space for the vendor to even cook in!). One thing always remained a staple, and that is a huge Indian Wok, used for frying plenty of delicious roadside mini-meals.

The first real meal we had in India was in our guesthouse in New Delhi. A small, jet lagged feast of Dal Makhani (a personal favourite of mine), Malai Paneer (Katelyn’s choice), and Naan. The helpful service employee there also slipped us a small bottle of whiskey, as a very thoughtful welcome gift.
