Gaming on a Budget

Now, serious gamers will skim over this post because they have preconceived notions that free computer games, are crap.  These beliefs aren't unfounded, as is true for most things without a commercial incentive, they usually suck.  I by no means condone casual gaming.
        However, there are a number of RPGs and MOBAs online that are as extensive and and well maintained as any free game on the market.  The most notable would be League of Legends.
        League of Legends is a multiplayer online battle arena, which is heavily dependent on strategy, and competitive, adrenaline driven young males.  Recently League of Legends has become the most played PC game in the World, with 1.3 billion hours logged globally.  Part of the reason it is so popular is because its E-Sport backing, its challenging nature, and its whopping price of 0:00, but mostly I believe it is popular because Riot Games is so interactive with its fan base and responds so quickly to player requests.
       There are a number of other free MOBAs, some such as DOTA that, although more difficult, are arguably just good as League of Legends.  Recently I tried Smite, which although it was a unique experience,being set in a second person viewpoint, did not nearly hold up in quality when compared with the League.
       League of Legends is a community.  The diverse array of champions, the meticulous care Riot spends in making sure each champions is balanced, the competitive drive which players make apparent in their play style, the professionals that set examples for people learning the ropes of League, all add to the game's appeal.  And best of all, it is completely free.

Love Everyday

“For that crazy ass bitch writing ‘bout me on her blog.”

      I guess I’m that bitch, despite being the wrong gender and species.  I’ve been listening to Dumbfoundead for a long time, and so I was excited to hear a report about him on NPR today (all things considered).  He’s always been a rapper I’ve enjoyed, but haven’t been completely blown away with, besides of course, this one mixtape.      

        Haha, I love recommending mixtapes.  Actually, mixtape is not accurate; Love Everyday is an EP that I’ve recently noticed Dumb has started asking money for.  Makes sense, it is by far his best work.  Seven dollars is a bit expensive for seven songs, but trust me, you won’t regret it.  With the exception of the Breezy Lovejoy Paradise collaboration, every song on this EP is brilliant.  They fit together and yet stand-alone, all six of these songs have in the past held spots at the top of my ipod. 

        Whether you’re a stoner, a hopeless romantic, or just someone who appreciates honest rap, this EP is for you.

Here's a good sample of the EP's quality:  Love is a Song

The Best Episode I've Ever Seen

Best may be the wrong word, but hilarious isn't far off track.
     
Rarely do I laugh out loud at TV shows, especially when i'm watching them by myself, but when I saw this episode of Community for the first time, almost a year ago, I couldn't stop cracking up.

Community in general is a fantastic show, although in recent years it has started to go down hill.  For the best experience I would recommend watching a few other episodes before watching "Digital Estate" planning, just so that you are familiar with the characters.

And, if for some bizarre reason you find this episode boring I won't be offended.  Based on personal research it appears to target people with a very specific sense of humor.  Half the people who have watched this episode with me only thought it so-so (maybe I built their expectations up too high), but the other half were clutching their sides as their favorite study group became trapped in the video game world of Pierce's racist father.

Here is a list of bootlegged community episodes from season 3, Digital Estate Planning is episode 20:
