One of the hot posts that’s been flying over the video-gameo-blogo-sphere over the past week is over an article written by a former guild leader in World of Warcraft. In it, he describes how the pressures of running a guild began to take over his life. He gained weight (like in the South Park episode), […]

Dungeon / Coffee Master (Toothpaste for Dinner)
Toothpaste for Dinner is my favorite webcomic, accomplishing the difficult task of being consistently hilarious on an almost daily basis. He’s not afraid to do nerdy jokes either, as shown above. I’m sure I’ll be showcasing several from his archives, but I highly recommend checking it out. Also, be sure to check out his line […]
Garbage In, Garbage Out
Game design is like many other creative fields in that there are many ways to approach the creative process that will eventually lead to a game. If it were a science, we’d have programmed a computer to do it, and it would be making all of our games for us. (Though some have theorized that […]
One Step Closer
Step aside Lan, move over Harry Potter, and watch out Predator, here comes some real-life proof of the theory that things can be made invisible! The technology hasn’t actually come up to this point yet, but about 5 months ago the team of scientists theorized that they could use a specific cloak to bend microwaves around […]
…And we're back! (But Nextwave isn't)
We were attacked by server ninjas but drove them off with server pirates. Or was it the other way around? Anyway, we’re back, and while we were down, I started to look at new graphical options for the site. In the process I discovered that you can press Ctrl + to increase the font size […]
LAN Party: Specificity is a Necessity
No, I’m serious, this actually happened. The Ochbad depicted here offers more of an excuse then was actually given, not that any was really needed, because we’ve come to expect no less from him. This isn’t to say that we dislike him for it at all, in fact the hilarity of the situation more then made up […]
YouTube of the Week: Pink Floyd's Frickin' Laser Edition
(Awesome animation of famous album covers battling it out. Truly some Critical Hits in there. Let’s hope that we can keep doing this feature, even though it’s about to become GooTube)
Inq. of the Week: Nostalgia Reigns
Spawning from last week’s question about movies and their use of intellectual properties comes a controversial thread on how we should view and criticise older games. Their graphics suck, the gameplay is elementary, story and characterization are practically non-existant, these games suck! At least that’s what some people think, other feel that we should look […]
Wii Sparks More Hype Than Anticipated
On Friday, October 13th, EBGames/Gamestop began accepting pre-orders for the Nintendo Wii. In a matter of minutes, they were no longer accepting pre-orders. The company issued a statement regarding the pre-order status of the Nintendo Wii, which can be read here. Now, I don’t know about you, but I was not expecting the Wii to […]
Batman: My Parents Are Dead (PVP Online)
Our newest feature is something I call Webcomic Weekened. Every week we pick one Webcomic, and pick a particularly good comic or series from its archives. So we’ll showcase the best webcomics the internet has to offer by showing you the best its done (with a preference towards Critical Hits related topics.) Enjoy! We’ll start […]
