According to ICV2, Gainax is in the works to produce four movies to completely retell the Evangelion story, but in a much simpler way. The move is designed to make the acclaimed series more “accessible” to new viewers (and presumably, viewers who were totally bewildered the first time around.) From the Article: “This “remake” will […]
Baltimore Comic-Con This Weekend
Just so that you are aware, if you are within five states of Maryland and have ever looked at a comic, you are required BY LAW to attend the Baltimore Comic-con this weekend. The punishment for disobeying the law is creative Panda attack.
Twice the work, double the crazy: Playtesting your own RPG
My current project (well, it’s been my current project for about 5 years now) is a supplement for d20 Modern. It introduces new classes, new character options, all that good crunchy stuff. It also has a very specific setting to the game that would need to be conveyed in a sourcebook to a GM. I […]
Emerald Archer Comes to Smallville
Even though I’m a huge DC comics geek, I don’t watch Smallville. I watched it during its early years, and got turned off by the “freak of the week” phoenomenon, and over the top use of Superman’s mythos (it doesn’t seem like they’ll leave anything for him to do when he actually grows up!) This […]

It sounds like a riddle: “What job pays less than minimum wage, but everyone wants?” Sadly, the answer I’m looking for is Game Designer. You might eventually be able to find a high paying job as a game designer for a video game company, but if you want to design for any other field, you […]
YouTube of the Week: 'Nuff Said Edition
(It’s a full pilot, around 20 minutes, so beware before you start watching. And it’s a shame this isn’t way better, since it features my three favorite comedians.)
The Digital World of Analog Play
One of the stories posted in nearly all the news sites I read is that Microsoft is going to make three Spiel Des Jahres winning boardgames available as downloadable content from Xbox Live. Turning boardgames into videogames has been going on for a long, long time: my parents used to play Backgammon and Bridge on […]
YouTube of the Week: Paralyzing Fear of Water Edition
