I’m a former World of Warcraft player and have been kinda scared to try League of Legends given how obsessed I was with WoW.  But I promised a friend I would try it out.  (The things I do for friends…) Today, Amazon has a free starter pack for League of Legends. …

Let me take you to my happy place for a moment. I am pretty sure I am responsible for at least 100,000 of the 39 million loops it currently has. That’s why I am really excited that Uber is doing puppy delivery tomorrow. For $30, you can have access to puppies for …

I previously wrote about Holiday Inn Express offering pancakes to guests staying up late at night. But Holiday Inn Express has one-upped themselves in the world of breakfast obsessions.
