Again, as always, this is based entirely upon real events. The preceedings, however, did not happen while in our current house as shown. Instead they took place in the dank cesspits of scum and villainy known as a Dorm room, which to this day remains the den of untold evils I dare not disclose (most […]

Emerald Archer Comes to Smallville
Even though I’m a huge DC comics geek, I don’t watch Smallville. I watched it during its early years, and got turned off by the “freak of the week” phoenomenon, and over the top use of Superman’s mythos (it doesn’t seem like they’ll leave anything for him to do when he actually grows up!) This […]
YouTube of the Week: Super Black Mamba Bros. Edition
Inquisition of the Week: Summer Movies
It’s September, and in many ways, summer is over. People are going back to school, the big holiday weekend is winding down (I spent most of it gaming), but now that we’ve seen it all and distanced it from the hype… What was your favorite summer movie? Nothing blew me away this summer, which is […]
Hard Truths About Game Design
It sounds like a riddle: “What job pays less than minimum wage, but everyone wants?” Sadly, the answer I’m looking for is Game Designer. You might eventually be able to find a high paying job as a game designer for a video game company, but if you want to design for any other field, you […]
Part 2: The Confrontation
Okay so it isn’t exactly a dungeon, more of an insanely huge cathedral, it is not entirely ludicrous to concieve of them having dark passageways and shall I say almost dank accomodations. Now we finally see that the thing which our hero was curious about in the first one is none other than the cuddly, […]
YouTube of the Week: 'Nuff Said Edition
(It’s a full pilot, around 20 minutes, so beware before you start watching. And it’s a shame this isn’t way better, since it features my three favorite comedians.)
Inquisition of the Week: Bosses!
This week’s question pertains mostly to videogames, but if your brain works in abstract ways yet unknown to mankind, you can most likely relate it to boardgames, tabletop RPG’s, or even a day at work in the office. The question is purposefully left very general, so that you can take it however you like. What […]
The Digital World of Analog Play
One of the stories posted in nearly all the news sites I read is that Microsoft is going to make three Spiel Des Jahres winning boardgames available as downloadable content from Xbox Live. Turning boardgames into videogames has been going on for a long, long time: my parents used to play Backgammon and Bridge on […]
Finally Some Intelligence
After yesterday’s post which was later announced to be full of fraudulent material, I felt it necessary to bring everyone up to speed on the ESRB discussions. From the comments on my last post, The Game helpfully pointed out the good Dr. Thompson’s rebuttal which you can see here. It is a very well spoken/written […]
