What is a Good Game Anyway?

January 26, 2007 by Dave

This past week, aside from dealing with massive web-related headaches, I managed to re-read Raph Koster’s excellent presentation from the 2005 Game Developer’s Conference. Any serious student of games owes it to themselves to take a look through. It’s witty, it’s fairly accesible, and it avoids being dry like many academic studies on the subject. […]

YouTube of the Week: "D&D has pie. Does WoW have pie?" Edition

January 23, 2007 by Dave

A fake quasi-documentary that looks at D&D players. Though very amateurish, it has some pretty funny moments that make us look weirder than we already are.

All Glory to the Anime Hypnotoad!

January 18, 2007 by Dave

According to THE BEAT, the artist who posted her work online turning The Simpsons and Futurama into manga-style got herself signed to a deal with the makers of The Simpsons comics… and may get to work on the upcoming Futurama series. Now THAT is an Internet success story. Though it comes from the often-not-accurate Ain’t […]

52 #37: I Take It All Back, DC

January 18, 2007 by Dave

Warning: Herein I am spoiling the complete issue of DC’s 52 issue 37. It’s, in my opinion, the best issue of the series so far with a few shocking revelations. If you want to enjoy them for yourself, do not read any further. If you don’t follow 52 and want to find out what happens, […]

Announcing… Critical Hits 4.0 (beta)

January 17, 2007 by Dave

Welcome to the new edition of Critical Hits, version 4.0. The old theme was getting a little old, so we thought we’d mix it up and add some features we’ve wanted for a while. There’s still some work to be done, but we wanted to launch it while it was at least operational. Here’s some […]
