What? There’s more than one MMORPG?

May 31st 2011 – 12:34 AM

While I’m on hiatus from WoW, I thought I’d try Champions Online. It seemed like it could be cool. I’ve been on a big comic book kick lately (I’ve been reading Hellboy, Irredeemable, Flash, Scalped, and other great books) and the thought of creating my own superhero and engaging in superheroics sounded fun. And best [...]

My new blog

Aug 28th 2008 – 3:46 PM

I just wanted to mention that I’ve got a new blog that I’ve been working on for about a month now. It’s quite a departure for me, because it actually covers some serious topics, like politics, science, religion, and so on. I must warn you though: you probably won’t approve of some of the topics [...]

Where the hell is Baluki? (July 2008 Edition)

Jul 17th 2008 – 8:25 PM

Sorry about my absense lately, folks. I’ve been pretty broke, and so I’m taking a break from WoW. I’m definitely coming back, of course. If not in the next few weeks, then definitely for WotLK. I’m probably more likely to come back in 2 or 3 weeks. So, what have I been up to besides [...]

Advertising

May 18th 2008 – 5:28 PM

A while ago, I added the Project Wonderful ad box you can see on the left. Since then, I’ve made a whopping $2. So, I’ve decided to put those two dollars into getting the word out about this blog by placing ads on other WoW-related web sites. Gotta spend money to make money, you know. [...]

Regarding my Google ads

Mar 16th 2008 – 9:45 PM

I’d like to say a few things about the Google ads that appear on this site. If you don’t know how Google ads work, let me explain. Basically, the ads contain a little script that reads the text of my blog, which lets it decide which of the millions of ads in Google’s database are [...]

Baluki sells out

Jan 6th 2008 – 3:24 AM

Those of you with better-than-average powers of observation may have noticed the new ad boxes on the left, under the TOC. And there boxes under the first three posts of any given page. So, what do you think? Are they too flashy, not flashy enough? Can you ignore them if you want to? (I’m aiming [...]

I hate Firefox

Nov 12th 2007 – 1:20 PM

No, I don’t really hate Firefox. I’m just having a hell of a time getting this site to work in both IE7 and FF, AND having to deal with cramming my CSS designs into BlogSpot’s XML templates. So if something looks wrong, I’m sorry, and I’m working on it. According to my visitor logs (zomg, [...]

Yet another site redesign

Nov 4th 2007 – 7:26 PM

Well, I FINALLY have this site looking the way I want it to. I’ve been toying with this design for a few months, and yesterday I finally went ahead and put it all together. But that wasn’t enough. Once I had it all laid out and looking great, using CSS instead of tables, I had [...]

The Evolution of Starcraft

Jul 12th 2006 – 2:01 AM

Slightly off-topic, but whatever. This is a fascinating site with tons of info and screenshots detailing the development process of Starcraft. It’s pretty cool to see how the game comes together in the various different versions. I had no idea that it was originally created with the Warcraft 2 graphics engine. Did you know that [...]

The hazzards of being a Minnesotan

Mar 29th 2006 – 6:29 PM

I frequently go to the Taco Bell in my area (Duluth, MN) because TB is the only place where you can get Mountain Dew Baja Blast. It’s kinda a strange, lime-ish version of Dew that I’m hopelessly addicted to. But sometimes I don’t want a taco. Sometimes I’m just thirsty for some BB. So I [...]

New Vid Card

Jan 19th 2006 – 9:29 PM

Just got a new video card: the Geforce 6600 GT. Pretty sweet for a mid-range card. Not sure why they put a Doom cover on the heatsink. That would be pretty awesome if I liked that game. (Not that I have anything against it.) :: From Baluki’s WoWblog! ::
