When I first heard of Duke Nukem (not the Captain Planet character, of course), I was quite young; 12 to be exact. Duke was a pretty arrogant bad-boy hero type even back then, for how simple his first game, made back in 1991, was; bare-bones sci-fi story, simple blow-up-aliens-and-get-to-the-end gameplay, old-school EGA (16 colors at…
Tim Ajmani The Corsair I have personally seen the “Hangover” a billion times, and that’s not an exaggeration. So you can guess how excited I was when I heard that there was going to be a “Hangover: Part II”. I have been excited about many movie sequels before, such as “The Two Towers” and “Pirates…
Fallout: New Vegas DLC! War. War never changes. And neither does my love for this series. Brought back to life after ten years by Bethesda Softworks in 2008, and continued by Obsidian in 2010, the Post Atomic Role Playing Game never ceases to present a bleak yet continually enthralling vision of an alternate, irradiated, paranoid…

Tim Ajmani The Corsair When is too much of a good thing a bad thing? Sometimes too much easy is dangerous and detrimental to us. For example, look at technological advances made in the automobile industry. Ten years ago, having cars “park” themselves was unthinkable. But now, Ford has enabled the feature in their compact…

Tim Ajmani The Corsair If we were to take a poll of the most popular sport in America right now, it wouldn’t be “America’s Pastime”, baseball. It wouldn’t be basketball, despite the current state of the NBA that is signaling that a “passing of the torch” is taking place. And it wouldn’t be hockey, the…
Tim Ajmani The Corsair Before the 2011 NBA season began, all of the talk and focus was on the offseason events surrounding the Miami Heat’s coup of snaring three free agent all-stars. The trio of Dwayne Wade, Lebron James, and Chris Bosh was being hailed as the next superpower of the NBA. People were proclaiming…
Tim Ajmani The Corsair The famous philosopher Niccolo Machiavelli once discussed a concept whether it is better to be feared than loved regarding a leader in power. Machiavelli’s ideas mostly come up when discussing political polices like dictatorship, or when something is accomplished through whatever means are deemed necessary. It is interesting, however, when the…
Tim Ajmani The Corsair The very first thing that I talked about when I joined the Corsair was about how political parties are separating and tearing the United States apart. I said Americans weren’t concerned about Americans; they are concerned about Democrats and Republicans. While this likely won’t change any time soon, at least we…
