The Axe Factor: JOURNALISM 392W - Race Preview
http://theaxefactor.blogspot.com/2010/11/journalism-392w-race-preview.html
Tuesday, November 2, 2010. JOURNALISM 392W - Race Preview. This year almost every political race has some intriguing element. Whether it's vicious biting attack ads and wildly untrue accusations. Or the potential to drastically change the political landscape, these mid-term elections have become a truly tumultuous affair. While the eye of the nation seems to be focused on some of the more deciding or outrageous examples. I think we are having a very interesting race right here in Massachusetts. Meaghan's...

The Axe Factor: JOURNALISM 392W - Congressman Neal Profile
http://theaxefactor.blogspot.com/2010/10/journalism-392w-congressman-neal.html
Monday, October 18, 2010. JOURNALISM 392W - Congressman Neal Profile. I’m not quite sure who Richard Neal is. I know he represents the Springfield area in the United States Congress. I know he has been a grade school teacher in the past, and is a professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. And I know his history of supporting his constituents, their city, and their various causes, has made him well liked as a politician. But I don’t think I really know who he is. A couple weeks ago I got to do ...

The Axe Factor: December 2010
http://theaxefactor.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 6, 2010. Christmas Is Not Dead: A Revelation at Yankee Candle. Somehow I always manage to side with the optimist in me, but not without the bitter aftertaste left by all the consumption of stuff. Well I’m tired of that aftertaste. I wanted to know one way or another if Christmas really has wholesome meaning, or if it truly has been lost in the torrent of commercials and jingles that we are drowned in during the last two months of every year.

The Axe Factor: September 2010
http://theaxefactor.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 29, 2010. JOURNALISM 392W - Dancing with the Stars Elimination week 2. Well week two of Dancing with the Stars is over, and another contestant has been voted off the stage. To anyone who watched, it was really no surprise at all. Bolton only got 12 out of the 30 possible points. He followed the elimination last week of David Hasselhoff, who performed almost as badly. Hasselhoff was able to secure 15 points. Posted by Axe Faktor. Monday, September 27, 2010. Posted by Axe Faktor. Richa...

The Axe Factor: Why I Will Never Buy Another JRPG
http://theaxefactor.blogspot.com/2010/10/why-i-will-never-buy-another-jrpg.html
Tuesday, October 19, 2010. Why I Will Never Buy Another JRPG. Today I was sitting in my room reading the latest issue of GameInformer. And something in the issue really hit home for me. It was intended to be a humorous article, as the lovely folks at GI often publish, but much of it actually rings true. It's essentially a flow chart of what they refer to as "every RPG ever." I would title it more accurately "every JRPG ever.". Seeing this all laid out in front of me brought me to the epiphany that I actu...

The Axe Factor: May 2010
http://theaxefactor.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 26, 2010. Movie News: The Hobbit. Editors note: The following post was written by Dan Petrelli, a fellow nerd, good friend, and new contributor to the Axe Factor. Enjoy. In case you hadn't heard, there's a Hobbit film due out for 2012. Should be good enough for anyone. That said, not everything is looking rosy. The biggest issues of concern are that the original director, Peter Jackson, isn't directing. Wtf? Things that don't look good. 8226; New Director: Guillermo Del Toro. So I think ha...

http://theaxefactor.blogspot.com/2010/11/review-spider-man-shattered-dimensions.html
Tuesday, November 9, 2010. REVIEW: Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. I'm on to bigger and much better things now (Fallout: New Vegas) but before it's too late i wanted to give credit where credit is due. Before starting Vegas, and after completing a most disappointing Force Unleashed 2, I was lucky enough to get my hands on an unexpected little gem called Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. Check out this gameplay footage from the Sandman Level:. Lastly there is plenty of replay value here. With the we...
