Extreme Makeover: Tavern Edition

August 12, 2008 by guest

Howdy all, from your friendly neighborhood Storyteller. I’ll be your guest blogger this fine afternoon in Chatty DM’s continued absence. I’m a young’un when it comes to the RPG blogosphere though I’ve been a roleplayer since middleschool and help to run the RPG club (Adventurers Wanted) at my university. Trust me when I say, there […]

Get Your Dice Off My Lawn!

August 8, 2008 by guest

Another Guest Blog Post by Berin Kinsman of UncleBear. You kids today think you have it so rough. The D&D Online Tools aren’t ready yet! I can’t play a Bard or a Druid in 4e! I don’t have a flying car to take me to my game session! Spoiled, whining brats, I tell ya! When […]

So You Wanna Write a RPG Blog? What NOT To Do

August 7, 2008 by guest

Hi folks! My name is Berin Kinsman, and I’ll be guest blogging here while our beloved Chatty DM is off vacationing in the wilderness. I’ve been a roleplayer since 1978, which officially makes me an old grognard. I’ve been writing about gaming on my own site, UncleBear, since 1996, long before the word “blog” was […]

Game Review: Army of Two

April 10, 2008 by guest

I had apprehensions about getting this game for awhile, mostly because EA required anyone who wanted to play the game online to have an Xbox Gold Account to do so. After letting the hype from the game cool a little I found a demo on Xbox Live and played that to wet my whistle. I enjoyed […]

Game Review: Turok, Tur-ACK!

February 27, 2008 by guest

Quiet…. can you hear that? It’s not far off… maybe thirty yards away. That sound- it can only be one thing. The Suck. Now I’m not one to usually voice my overwhelming disappointment in a video game ( I usually save that for real people and situations) but this is one infraction I just can’t […]

Assassin's Creed: Video Let-Down

January 11, 2008 by guest

You hear about them, you see commercials and advertisements about them for months, their release dates are marked on calendars across the globe, and the keywords are getting thousands of hits daily on search engines everywhere…. Maybe you’re first in line on release day, maybe you wait it out and hear good things so you […]

PWW: Challenging the Inner Half-Orc

December 10, 2007 by guest

Hurrah! It’s time for another PM post! Do you know what happens when you leave your inner half-orc in a closet for too long? First, you start talking about him using the 3rd person. Second, he builds up an immense amount of RPG inertia and should he ever gain momentum, he could do something very […]

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

November 12, 2007 by guest

You’ve been camped in the tall grass for half the game, waiting patiently. Suddenly in the distance you see a lone figure kneeling behind a crate exchanging fire with an unknown target. You raise your rifle scope to your eye and zero in on your target. He’s stopped firing and appears to be holding his […]

Got Sunshine?

August 1, 2007 by guest

All hell has apparently broken out at Critical Hits, because a food blogger is posting… I contacted Das Game last week after returning from a late opening night showing of Sunshine begging to be allowed to post my thoughts on the film and with his just and merciful hand has allowed me to do so, […]

Review: Hot Fuzz (2007)

April 22, 2007 by guest

There’s a small change of pace this week in the Librarian’s Tome section. Instead of a book review, I’ve wandered into the film section of the library (not completely of my own free will, as I still prefer books, but spouses can be persuasive) and present to you Librarian’s Tome: Film Edition. Title: Hot Fuzz […]
