Last monday, to wrap up our Unofficial Review Weekend, Dave’s poll asked which Nick Fury was the better Nick Fury, Sammy J or David Hasselhoff. An overwhelming majority of 76% thought that Samuel L. Jackson made a better Nick Fury, while 15% thought the Hoff was best (and more true to the original comic Fury), […]
Review: “Piratz Tavern” in Silver Spring, MD
Yesterday, for mother’s day, my mom had only one request for the traditional dinner: she wanted to go to the Piratz Tavern, a pirate-themed restaurant in downtown Silver Spring. Scratch that, she had two requests: she wanted her family to dress as ninjas and go there. The compromise was made that we would wear all-black, […]
Review: The Classic Dungeon
The Big Picture: The Classic Dungeon is a board game with a simple premise: venture into a dungeon, kill the monsters, take their treasure, and escape. The game is based on a D&D style fantasy theme, and the players take the role of adventurers. But unlike in D&D, where the adventurers work together, in this […]
D&D 4e: A Whole New World
Within the core books for the 4th Edition of Dungeons & Dragons, a base world is being set up which is intended to give new players and especially new Dungeon Masters a much easier time getting into their first game. The setting is called “Points of Light” and is summed up on their site as: […]
Inq. of the Week: Fury vs. Fury
Over the weekend, we were fortunate enough to have not one, not two, not three, but FOUR quality reviews! TheMainEvent reviewed Iron Man Bartoneus reviewed GTA IV OriginalSultan reviewed Incan Gold ChattyDM reviewed Mario Kart Wii (thanks again for the guest post, and go check his site out! A must-read for RPGers!) Thus, I declared […]
Chatty’s Review: Mario Kart Weeee!
Wha? What the hell am I doing here you ask? It’s quite simple really, I felt like reviewing a Video Game and this here site here actually covers that particular niche better than mine (Obligatory shameless plug? Check.) So we’re cool? Cool! Ok, here’s the thing. My lovely wife is currently gone for a few […]
Review: Incan Gold
The Big Picture: Incan Gold is a light push-your-luck game with an Indiana Jones-esque theme that is suitable as a nice filler for serious gamers and as a mainstay for family gamers. Essentially, you and the other players search through ancient Incan ruins for treasure, trying to avoid all manner of traps and dangers along […]
Review: Iron Man
General: Iron Man is a faithful fun-filled adaptation of one the most flawed heroes in comicdom. Tony Stark is a womanizing, irresponsible, hard-partying, smug son of a bitch, but he’s super-cool. His ascendancy into superherodom doesn’t necessarily change that, it just gives him a sense of obligations and duty. His origins remain true in spirit, […]
First Impressions: GTA IV
I had not originally planned to pick up Grand Theft Auto 4 anytime soon, but when your wife asks you to go out and buy GTA any hesitation would be a grievous offense. We got it for the 360 because we don’t own a PS3, and also because achievements are our console gaming lifeblood. Now […]
Inq. of the Week: Multi-Classing
I thought that Dave’s musically inclined poll last week was great, because it’s one of those general questions that I probably would have never thought to ask. It looks like the most people prefer the alternative/indie/college rock genre (69%), which I find interesting when you consider that our age poll surprised us with more people […]
