Pomplamoose in Hyundai ads for the holidays.

Got a review copy of CoD: Black Ops and I’m playing through both the single and multiplayer to get a feel for writing a review. My score in the multiplayer matches has been quite a bit worse than what I was managing under Modern Warfare 2 and I’d like to say it’s entirely due to . . . → Read More: My score in “Call of Duty: Black Ops” is worse than usual…

[SEB Guest Post] A Late Night Thought on Prohibitions and Rules

If you wish your prohibitions and rules to be based upon reason, then you should look more to adopting etiquettes and manners than to adopting religious morals.
