Bioware is DEAD!!! There are plenty of people who think this is a Very Bad Thing, and you will find lots of posts on social media sites, expressing their shock and horror that the studio which produced so many great games from all those years ago, has now been closed down. But that […]

Nor should he be. He is the Supreme Allied Commander Europe, effectively the second highest-ranking military officer in the entire NATO structure. That is a post once held by no less a person than General (and eventual President) Dwight D. Eisenhower. Gen. Grynkewich recently […]

It started with stories about an Omani pilot suddenly going all JIHAAAAAAAAD and suffering a premature detonation (of sorts) on a Flydubai flight to Izzrael. To be slightly more precise (and a tad less flippant), essentially, a chap named […]

These days, he is Sir Jacob, as he got […]
