Everyone’s heard that Peter Jackson is making a Halo movie, that Quinten Tarantino is not making a Half Life movie (as of now), and that Uwe Boll is going to knock Postal and Farcry clear into the worst 100. At least everyone would expect Postal to make a crappy movie no matter who directed it. […]

Yo mama's so fiddly…
This past week, I’ve come across two pages that have got me thinking about “fiddliness.” The first was a post on Boardgamegeek entitled “American style games vs. German style games: fiddly is good.” The second was about Magic: The Gathering’s new set entitled “Time Spiral.” Both got me thinking about how there’s good fiddly and […]
Google Video of the Week: This is a SERIOUS game Edition
(ok, not actually a new feature, but I had to post this one. It’s French with English subtitles, but totally worth it. Like an even more Indie “The Gamers.”)
Count me out of the Civil War Bandwagon

Our staff then started exchanging emails about what to call the site. There were a number of names that I liked but were centered around “Nerd Pride” which not […]
Review: Straight Outta Lynwood

Game Designers: WTF?
Something very disturbing happened in the last few days, a bunch of game developer’s blogs passed around discussions on balance (particularly in MMOs) and some of the conclusions that were made seem unsettling. A hilarious, and informative, summary can be found at WorldIV. The first part of the discussion I stumbled upon was at Psychochild’s […]
Romantic Computers Cannot Cry
I’ll start off with an apology for not having a comic or any kind of new drawing for this week, it’s been an off week in general. I will, however, dazzle you with an amazing (and true) proverb! Pretty much all online sites with comments get innundated with spam, and we are no exception. Thankfully […]
