[Gamma on...] Cigarette review, Round 1


I’m finding more and more that my cigarettes are harder and harder to find outside of the three places I constantly buy them from.  Fearing the worst, I started sampling other brands and types of cigarettes to see what all there was out there, and if anything stacked up to my beloved Camel #9 mentholated 100’s.  Sadly, our little blog isn’t what you’d call “profitable” or “a business” or even “read by anyone we don’t know”, so en lieu of charging things to the company expense account I had to spend out of petty cash.  And by that, of course, I mean I picked coins up off the ground until I could afford stuff.  Due to my financial constrictions, the list below is a bit short and by no means comprehensive.

[Rin on...] Mass Effect 3 Demo


I'm writing this after having given it a day to sink in and after reading various articles and reviews on the demo. The one I'll reference the most here was written by a friend of mine from the 'Scapist days, Remy van Ruiten, who has a blog of his own. I'll quote him throughout this post so you know what commentary I'm referring to, but if you want, just read his article here before reading mine.

Let me preface by saying I'm a super, super serious Mass Effect fan. I played both 1 and 2 multiple times, doing every single side-quest in both. So, needless to say, I have been frothing at the mouth impatiently for the release of ME3. I even pre-ordered the N7 Collector's Edition. [Hah! I say even like it's a surprise.]
