Review: Pan's Labrynth

December 29, 2006 by spankleberry

Now this, this was a nice movie. Like Tim Burton only…. not cute in a creepy way. Billed as horror, well it had it’s moments. There was definitely some creep going on. There was some.. brutal, greusome moments. I had to hold milli’s head at parts and tell her when it’s over, while I was […]

Beware the Winter Solstice!

December 27, 2006 by Bartoneus

Thankfully we have passed this day, when the sun rises for only a few short hours, and now we have begun to blissful journey towards longer days and sunnier times.  It may commonly be referred to as the Winter Solstice, which more accurately happened just into December 22nd, but technicalities aside we’re passed it and […]

Why Games Should Never End

December 22, 2006 by Dave

We’ve finally figured it out with years of study. The hardest part of designing a game is not coming up with the idea, or original mechanics, or balance, or any of that stuff. It’s figuring out how the darn game ends satisfactorily. This problem, by the way, is not left solely to boardgames. Movies, comics, […]

We Work With Wii

December 22, 2006 by Dave

The glowing blue light that greeted me this morning informed me that a present was waiting for me on my Wii: the trial release of the browser for Wii has been released! And of course, Critical Hits was the first page I loaded. I’m happy to report that the page works perfectly with the Wii […]

The Christmastide Cometh

December 21, 2006 by Bartoneus

YouTube of the Week: Stop Hiring Him! Edition

December 19, 2006 by Dave

I don’t watch Spike TV, so I didn’t catch these when they first aired. And I cracked up because I didn’t know what was coming. This one is the best, the other two in the series after the jump.
