So I had a conversation a few days ago with my best friend about FraggedNation. He's only recently gotten into gaming, and he's totally fascinated with what we, as a community, have created here. I was explaining to him that I spend so much time chasing d...

When dealing with extremely large datasets, it becomes absolutely vital to performance that the results be paginated. Basically this means splitting up a result set from potentially thousands of records, into more manageable chunks - or pages - that limit...

So for quite a while now I've developed websites exclusively in FireFox, since it adheres to the W3C standards in the best way possible, and generally produces a browsing experience we have come to expect from a truly compliant browser. That being said, I...

Ok, so I simply cannot put this game down. Demon's Souls is the most relentlessly unforgiving, frustrating, challenging, and overall harrowing game I've ever played. Not once are you given a "break", and nobody is there to hold your hand through the count...

How did FraggedNation really get its start? Well to tell that story we have to go back to 2002, and the peak of Unreal Tournament 99 online gameplay. At the time, Unreal Tournament was one of the most popular games played on the Internet. This was an...

I've only played for a few hours at this point, but I'm officially having a love/hate relationship with this game. On the one hand it's a beautifully crafted game that aims to be more old-school difficult than most of today's brainless games - but on the ...

Ok, so of course I saw Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen on opening day. Of course I saw it at the earliest possible showing I could physically get to, and of course I freakin' loved every second of it. Buuut, I did see it on probably one of the worst m...

Late last week I was presented with a seemingly simple task - integrating a Droppable list of items with a Sortable list object. Basically the concept is to drag items from the Droppable (which have been initialized as Draggables) and be able to drop them...

So I've been anxiously awaiting Prototype for quite some time now... actually ever since I saw a YouTube video that claimed to be Assassin's Creed 2, but was in fact a teaser-trailer for this game. I watched the teaser and was blown away by the concept, t...

Ok, so I've been playing XBox 360 now for about 2-3 years... give or take. I always enjoyed the concept of "Achievements", but never really strove to attain all of them; mostly because I was annoyed at how obtuse or annoying most of them were to obtain du...

So it's been just over two years since my First Degree Black Belt test, and tomorrow I start a two day test for my second degree. I'll be testing with another old friend who I've been training with almost since the beginning (1999) who is also going for h...

Ok, so how did I manage to miss this game?? I'm a huge Zelda / Metroid / Action RPG freak, but never had the patience for slower, more renowned RPG's like Star Wars: Nights of the Old Republic, Oblivion, or Elder Scrolls. Somehow this game completely slip...

Just thought I'd post a quick blog about an epiphany I had... For a long time now, I've been aggravated by the IE rendering engine (for many things) and it's inability to understand the empty-cells CSS directive to display and style empty table cells.This...

So I just came across this picture from this past summer... late July I think it was. A group of us from the Renzo Gracie NH Jiu Jitsu team were invited down to train at the Renzo Gracie academy in NY City. We all made the trek down, and actually got to m...
