Because I cannot deny the bleatings of the eldritch monster-squid that rules beneath the waves, and since Halloween falls on YouTube Tuesday… a squamous mass of videos starring everyone’s favorite tentacled horror: Cthulhu! This first one is my favorite, but more after the jump.
Lil' Watchmen (Silver Rage)
A send up of the seminal series “Watchmen” as if they were kiddies in school. Good stuff, though it helps to be familiar with “Watchmen” (and if you’re not, you should cancel your weekend plans and go read it. A piece of literature in words and pictures.) Lil’ Watchmen goes for four strips and starts […]
Halloween Boardgames / The Triangle
First, a shout out to Halloween games. If you’re in the Halloween gaming mood, here’s some tabletop games to check out: Mall of Horror Arkham Horror Betrayal at House on the Hill (and if you see it around, it’ll probably be out of print soon, so might not be a bad idea to snap it […]
Very Short Stories
Andy Looney enjoys writing stories exactly 55 words long and calls them Nanofiction. Well, Wired took the concept every further and asked a number of famous authors (mainly from Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Comics) and asked them to write 6 word short stories. They cite an idea from Ernest Hemmingway as their inspiration. You can […]
YouTube of the Week: Crisis of Infinite Retail Edition
15 minutes long detailing DC Comic’s Power Girl taking a day off and trying to find another career. Some good subtle DC references in there.
Inq. of the Week: Too Much Game?
One of the hot posts that’s been flying over the video-gameo-blogo-sphere over the past week is over an article written by a former guild leader in World of Warcraft. In it, he describes how the pressures of running a guild began to take over his life. He gained weight (like in the South Park episode), […]
Dungeon / Coffee Master (Toothpaste for Dinner)
Toothpaste for Dinner is my favorite webcomic, accomplishing the difficult task of being consistently hilarious on an almost daily basis. He’s not afraid to do nerdy jokes either, as shown above. I’m sure I’ll be showcasing several from his archives, but I highly recommend checking it out. Also, be sure to check out his line […]
Garbage In, Garbage Out
Game design is like many other creative fields in that there are many ways to approach the creative process that will eventually lead to a game. If it were a science, we’d have programmed a computer to do it, and it would be making all of our games for us. (Though some have theorized that […]
…And we're back! (But Nextwave isn't)
We were attacked by server ninjas but drove them off with server pirates. Or was it the other way around? Anyway, we’re back, and while we were down, I started to look at new graphical options for the site. In the process I discovered that you can press Ctrl + to increase the font size […]
YouTube of the Week: Pink Floyd's Frickin' Laser Edition
(Awesome animation of famous album covers battling it out. Truly some Critical Hits in there. Let’s hope that we can keep doing this feature, even though it’s about to become GooTube)
