Simpsons + Star Wars = Crazy Delicious. Now if only they’d do a full episode, like Family Guy is doing. Found on ExtraLife.
Inq. of the Week: Tights and Spandex
Most of the CH crew spent the day partying at a cook out at my place- with plenty of games of course. Guitar Hero 2, Wario Ware, Wii Sports, Wii Play, Get Bit!, Celebrities, Squint, You Must Be an Idiot, and Mall of Horror all were played at some point during the party. But the […]
A Field Guide to Gamers
A surprisingly respectful look at gamers and GenCon- mostly they let us speak for ourselves. The only thing I didn’t like is that three of the people they show in “crazy costumes” are actually from the reality show ‘Who Wants to be a Superhero?’ and not gamers at all. Added note: there may be an […]
From Screen to Board: Translating Properties into Boardgames
Here’s a pretty solid rule of game design: any game you design in your dreams is likely to be crap. (That’s not to say you can’t get inspiration from dreams, but you’re unlikely to get a good game out of one you made up in a dream.) A friend of mine brought this up recently […]

YouTube of the Week: Don't Press My Buttons Edition
Through clever level design, watch Super Mario World play itself. (It’s much more fun than it sounds.) They claim there’s no button presses at all, but Mario carrying a turtle shell seems like it needs a button unless I missed something. Originally found via Destructoid… after the jump, some more self-playing SMW fun.
Critical Hits 4.5 Beta is Live
We’re up, but will still be tinkering for a while. And expect full release 5.0 by early next year. Lemme know what you think, especially if there are any problems.

The usual, there may be some spoilers!
Rock Options (Guitar Hero and Rock Band)
It wasn’t all that long ago that if you wanted to play a rhythm game, your option was to play Dance Dance Revolution and all the neighbor-disturbing fake-dancing silliness that it implies. There were other entries that hit mainstream- Donkey Konga and Karoke Revolution come to mind, but none of them hit hard enough to […]
