The first few seconds of Studio Ghibli’s Ponyo on The Cliff By The Sea immediately took me back to my all time favourite Disney Classic: The Little Mermaid. Do these two really have that many similarities or is it just my imagination?

Restoration druids are all about the hots! I will highlight some things that I found really important when it comes to resto druids and healing in raids.
Slumdog Millionaire and what’s wrong with it!

After living in London for a year I became a fan of Bollywood. Last November I went on holiday to the south of India, because I was simply fascinated by Indian culture. I loved it there. I was fascinated, amazed, sometimes shocked, but most of all I enjoyed my time there. When Slumdog came out and was critically praised I was already wary of going to see it. But last week I finally got around to it and although it was entertaining, there are so many things wrong with it!
WoW Life: Guilds & Me

I returned to WoW saying I wouldn’t get involved as much as I used too, but I really liked my guild and the people in it. After a while I got promoted to veteran and this weekend I even organised a 25 Naxx raid, raidleading it and everything. What happened to my initial promise to myself? And how come WoW always knows to pull me back in?

The IGF judges sure as hell didn’t read my blog before picking the winners. A disappointing, yet not terribly surprising, outcome for me, all my favourites didn’t make it to the last cut. Although Blueberry Garden, Between and Machinarium are still great games. Congratulations to all the winners!

An exclusive matchmaking service for successful men or a tool for gold diggers to find their victims or even an expensive escort service? I’m not sure what to make of the Millionaire’s Club, even after watching several episodes of its show The Millionaire Matchmaker.
WoW life: guilds

Your guild is one of the most interesting aspects of you World of Warcraft life. It defines on which level you play, how much fun you’ll have, how far you’ll get in the game and who you hang out with. It also offers you the opportunity to create an entire social life in the game. I’ll take a closer look at my own guild experiences over the past couple of weeks and I’ll also analyse my current guild structure. I’ve even added some tips on how to find the guild for you!
Generational Reflections

Lately I’ve been noticing I’m getting older. Just yesterday Daan asked me: how long ago do you think 1997 was? It felt like it has been three years, while in fact it’s been twelve! My generation is growing up and it’s time for some generational reflections. We’ve been labelled generation Y, a generation that has been analysed and defined. Yet the latest research by the UN about child well-being might throw these definitions out of balance.
WoW Life: Moonkin Druid

Although Feral (dps) is supposed to be the best spec for leveling druids, I’ve recently respecced my druid to Balance and leveling has never been this easy! I can hit myself in the head for not doing this sooner. Balance offers you the possibility to let your druid function as a caster with high dps, so it does major damage, yet it’s also a ranged class with weaker armor than Feral.
