When was the last time you needed money and went to a bank?   Do you try and apply for a loan only to run into [...]

Yes, there are some people out there who might be of the opinion that when it comes to credit cards, more the merrier, but honestly, that is rarely true.   Rather, financial prudence lies in keeping only an optimal number of credit cards, rather than way too many of them.

Anytime you incur student loan debt, based on future return on investment, always bear in mind the speculative nature of the same.   Essentially, one of the most important aspects here would be the fact that return on investment on student loans incurred may take considerable time towards fruition. In certain scenarios, once the loan has been taken, there may be a long period of time when you will in fact only be paying off [...]

The typical notion is that if a person has not been paying off loans in time – or perhaps not at all and defaulting on them outright, there is a good chance that the same individual in question will not be able to avail of any loan whatsoever.   That is in fact not true at all.   Specifically, when it comes to payday loans, they are being offered with veritable ease, to those with [...]

The Infinity Ward (IW) game engine has been around for what seems like forever.  But if you come to think of it, seven years is close to “forever” in the world of gaming, as Infinity Ward (the engine, that is) had debuted in 2005 on Call of Duty 2.  Despite several changes to the engine, many experts haven’t been shy about criticizing it as being a relic, an anachronism, yesterday’s news.  In an interview with [...]

The follow-up to 2009’s space western FPS Borderlands has been a critical and commercial success since its release close to three weeks ago.  Its edgy sense of humor and healthy doses of shoot-‘em-up action have gone down well with gamers and gaming critics, and that’s probably why Gearbox has released its first downloadable content for Borderlands 2 one week ahead of the promised delivery date.  Originally, Mechromancer was supposed to be out by October 16, [...]
