Report Card: Space Marine Units (Part 1)

July 14, 2008 by originalsultan

With Warhammer 40k entering its 5th edition as of this past Friday, one chapter of the game’s history comes to an end, while another begins. As I thought about the past edition I decided it would be good to take one last look at all of the units in the Space Marine Codex. There are always […]

Inq. of the Week: Why So Serious?

July 14, 2008 by Bartoneus

This Friday is the day many of us have been waiting for since we saw the last 10 minutes of Batman Begins, back in 2005.  At that point it had been exactly 10 years since any real effort was put towards bringing the caped crusader to the big screen, and even those results were questionable.  […]

Gaming Now on the iPhone

July 10, 2008 by Bartoneus

It’s a good thing I was randomly floating around a few sites on the internet today, otherwise I might have easily missed the launch of Apple’s oh so appropriately named (haha!) App Store for the iPhone which allows you to download games for the glorious piece of sexy technology.  I bought one back in september […]

Inquisition of the Week: Podcasting?

July 7, 2008 by Dave

Last week, we thought we’d update our records on what type of games everyone out there likes to play. Perhaps unsurprisingly, RPGs came out on top with 71% of those voting saying they play those. However, I was surprised that computer video games were next at 46%, beating out consoles at 35%. I anticipated more […]

Let’s Talk About Fluff

July 2, 2008 by Bartoneus

I was reading through a discussion on Paizo’s message boards that grew out of a post linking to our coverage of the panel with Mike Mearls at Origins, and one discussion in particular caught my eye.  Several people began to discuss the amount of content provided in the 4E core books vs. the amount provided […]
