Last week, we tried to find out if any of you were as amused by some of the critiques of what we know of Fallout 3. The majority of people did not call me a moron, but only by a slim margin, as most of you picked that all the complains were reasonable. Second place […]

Origins Report: Origins Awards Ceremony
I’m preparing to cover the Origins awards at 8. I’m doing a few live updates, then below that is the list of categories (and check out the nominees list), and I’ll update the winners live as they’re announced. I should add: this is the 33rd Annual Origins Awards. 8:02 PM: GAMA Executive Director Anthony Gallela […]
Origins Report: "The Gamers: Dorkness Rising" and "Geekin'"
Overhead at Origins: “Would you seriously attack 2 battleships with a bomber and a carrier?” “You have died of dysentery.” -Said by someone in a game where everyone points guns at each other. “You look halfway competent. Can you tie this up?” -Said by a man in a chicken costume to a con employee. “Have […]
Origins 2007 Friday
The trip to Ohio ended up being uneventful, and the day before I headed to the con was filled with some Guitar Hero 2, Big Bumpin’, poker, and Omega Virus… and my glasses broke. It took two tries to find an eyeglasses store that could fit me in on the day after the 4th of […]
A Journey Through Sci-Fi
I noticed today that Rotten Tomatoes has put up a list of their highest rated top 100 Science Fiction Movies of all time. If you’ve never been to RT, it is a really nice site that congregates every critic’s opinion/review of a movie and gives them all equal share in the movie’s score. They then […]
Roll Out: A Transformers Review
I loved Transformers. There, I said it, and a spoiler-free review follows… Plot: A reasonably plausible series of events (considering the arrival of Extra-Terrestrial Non-Biological Beings) occur. Sure, there are some robots (I’m looking at you Frenzy) and some characters (Hackers?) and some events (nerd recluse with grandma, didn’t that ALSO happen in Live Free […]
Origins Pregame
A good friend once said to me, on the occasion of the finale of a D&D game where nearly all the players were moving away, “I’ll see you all once a year for the rest of my life.” He was referring to Origins. Origins is the yearly tabletop gaming convention (dare I say extravaganza) located […]
YouTube of the Week: Fire Not Included Edition
A promotional video for the laser boardgame Khet. Now here are some guys who take a game seriously.
Inquisition of the Week: Ridiculous Critiques
As I write this, the results of last week’s poll are still in the air. Calling it now means that most of you said that you will see “more than meets the eye” on opening night, just narrowly edging out those who will wait for the following weekend. I’m very surprised to see so few […]
Flog the Horse Once More
So apparently the back of my head made it onto Kotaku, from the auditorium at the Fallout 3 Press Event: Is this a benevolence beyond all recognition, or is it an evil that will never wash off?
