Kieran's Top 11 Movies of 2012
Hey everybody, Kieran here.
I've been slowly writing another blog post comparing the Pokemon anime to the Pokemon manga, but until that comes out I jotted down my list of the 10 best movies of 2012. Then I added another one.
Obviously, this is my list, and my list only. When you take a look at it, you might notice some prominent films missing. It is through that that I cement my street cred as being a preachy, obnoxious film snob that hates mainstream movies.
Also, I have not seen every movie of 2012. So let me be upfront about that.
I have not seen the Hobbit, Lincoln, Argo, the Life of Pi, Les Miserables, or Django Unchained yet, so I don't know if those would be on this list. So this is just the best of what I've seen. At the end I'll do a quick honorable mentions list just to see what didn't make the list.
Anyway, just sick back, relax, read my list, and prepare your strongly worded emails about how bad my choices are.

The Mid Lane and You: Champions: Ahri
Hi everyone, welcome to another installment of TMLaY! Now that finals are almost done, I've had a chance to quickly write this up. I will be posting more frequently from here on out. This time, I will be covering Champions, more specifically ones that people should pick up when starting to learn the lane. In a future post I will go over a large variety of Champs, but for now I will stick with going in depth on these four: Ahri, Karthus, Morgana, and Talon.
The reason I am picking these four Champs specifically is that they each cover a different role in a team, and by picking up these four you can cover 90% of the mid lane matchups.
Today's will be on Ahri. Each of these champion posts are divided into sections, and this post will probably be really long...so if you don't want to read it all, read the parts that look interesting. Onto the analysis

Fuck you, CNN
Today I'm going to break the promise I made to myself when I entered college, where I promised myself that I wouldn't talk about politics. Many people don't know this, but I was extremely close to being a political science major, instead of an engineer. But I've realized that its impossible for any one person to change the world at the magnitude that is required for an actual difference to be made. Therefore, my new goal is to change the world in small amounts, to the best of my ability. That's why I organize events- because I want to reach as many people as possible and make them happy. I've been ignoring some of the bigger problems in society simply because I know there is nothing I can do about them.
However, in some cases, the violation is so egregious, and it hits so close to home, that its impossible for me to ignore.

The Mid Lane and you: The Basics
Hello everyone! My name is Zach, summoner name OsirisLordofDead, and I play mid lane for the UIUC Team B for League of Legends. This is my first blog post here, the first of hopefully many, and I intend to write about mainly League of Legends and my specialty, all things mid lane. For my first post, I'm going to start off a series (not sure how frequent) where I will cover different things about the mid lane, ranging from broad topics, to specific things like champions, runes, or counter-picking. I plan to include a video of at least one narrated game with each post to demonstrate either the specific things talked about in the post or just show some general game play. Without further ado...
