The most delightful thing about Final Fantasy XII is that, when it rains, there are these big ball of energy elementals who wander around various areas of the game. Their primary purpose is to look at first glance like an average level friendly mob, but upon hearing one of your characters have a wet-dream about […]

Don't Hate the Makers, Hate the Game
Since Burning Crusade launced in January, I’ve read a lot about World of Warcraft despite not actually playing it anymore. One of the most apparent things I’ve seen is that there are even more complaints about class balance now then there were before the expansion released. It seems like Blizzard is really toying with spells, […]

The Sense of Sanity – The Feud Part 2. "The Eternal Struggle"
So, better late than never. This was to be a three parter, but Rey concluded it here, since by his logic “it was too much to drag out over three parts” so that’s that. Next week? Tune in for Robert Hagans Sense of Sanity debut!
The Sense of Lateness…
The long version is.. long, with fire, brimstone, and a few dragons. The short version is, crappy artwork combined with scanner driver problems and 1:10am = me throwing up my hands and deciding to finish tomorrow. As in, burning the version of the comic sitting next to me right now, and drawing something decent, then […]

Inq. of the Week: McKellen vs. McKellen
Last week’s Inquisition asked what your favorite Gaming-related tv show/episode or movie was, and it looks like the majority voted for the excellent episode of Dexter’s Laboratory titled D&DD. Good choice! This week we are asking perhaps the most important question ever asked in the history of the universe: {democracy:8} This is probably the greatest showdown […]

Comic Snap Reviews 2-22-07
Each week, I read a bunch of comics, and give you a brief statement about what I thought about the comic. Sometimes, I photoshop the comics and try to be funny. There are some spoilers but I try not to completely ruin a comic. This week, I might as well start with the big one…
Workshopping Games (and not Games Workshop)
The problem with taking several writing classes at once is that they ALL want to teach you how to workshop, even though there’s only so much you can teach about being a critical thinker about a piece of artistic expression. A lot of it is having experience in the field in question. For example, I’m […]
