Having Sex With Robots

From The Colbert Report

I think the most positive thing from having sex with robots is that you will never have to deal with unexpected pregnancy.
Update: Youtube (as always) has removed the video. Click HERE to watch the clip.

The Imaginary World Of Women

I want to start this discussion in an objective manner rather being subjective. That is, free from personal biases. It’s no brainier that we live in a world of men despite the fact that men are currently a minority in some countries according to world’s population. But what would happen if there’s been a [...]

The Australian Open

I have been keeping a close eye on the Kuwaiti blogsphere and I’m still wondering why anybody hasn’t mentioned anything about the Australian Open. C’mon people. Just because you don’t see sweaty men running after a ball doesn’t mean it isn’t worth watching (not to be disrespectful to soccer fans). Although I don’t exactly watch [...]

Spoiler-Free Review: Cloverfield

If you have seen the trailer of the movie, then you probably realize what you are getting into. Cloverfield is Blair Witch meets Godzilla, with the audience allowed only as much information about what exactly is happening as the characters have themselves, and it works fantastically well. And that’s key to the film’s second stroke [...]

CD Review: The Black Mages

As an avid fan of Final Fantasy games, I was completely ecstatic when I stumbled upon this fine soundtrack. The Black Mages debut album incorporated the most frantic battle themes in the history of Final Fantasy in a complex, progressive-heavy metal frame.
Those familiar with the game series should have an abundant sense of nostalgia listening [...]

Kuwaitis & The Cheesecake Factory

One of things that increased my fascination while studying abroad is Kuwaitis’ love for the restaurant The Cheesecake Factory. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the restaurant, The Cheesecake Factory is famous for its upscale casual dining atmosphere and the extensive menu that offers more than 200 selections of appetizers, pizza, pasta, [...]

Book Review: The Thirteenth Tale

Very few authors manage to fracture the English literature world with a powerful debut novel, and I consider Diane Setterfield as one of those few. The Thirteenth Tale combines the elements of gothic stories and the arousing voice of ghost tales with a hint of mystery in an exquisite narrative that doesn’t take itself [...]

A Bottle of H2O

Me: Can I have a bottle of H2O please? (smiles)
Her: What?
Me: A bottle of H2O! (smile fades)
Her: What’s H2O?
Me: Water. It is referred as H2O in the world of chemistry.
Her: Oh, I didn’t know that.
Me:………..
Her: Here’s your bottle of water sir. Anything else? Popcorn?
Me: Nope. Thanks.
I don’t know which one of us is more [...]

Trace Memory

With $9.99 price tag, I just couldn’t resist. I locked in at least one hour of gameplay and so far I kinda like it. It’s like a mystery novella with a point-and-click game mechanic. It feels quite intuitive without being too much of a gimmick.
