Happy Life Day from everyone at Critical Hits! We promise we won’t sing! (thanks to Andy Looney for the idea and RiffTRAX for helping me find it!)
Inq. of the Week: 2007 vs. 2008
Last week, we asked if the winter months = more gaming. While most of you don’t change your gaming habits, there were plenty of you who said you game all the much more when there’s snow on the ground, whether it be from more time at home or just the lack of schoolwork. I myself […]
Critical Hits Gift Guide 2007: The Comics & Everything Else
We’ve covered the games, now here’s everything else that you might buy for the Critical Hitter who’s expecting a little something special this holiday season. We start with the comics, then move into a miscellaneous pile of stuff that we recommend you buy right away!
Inq. of the Week: 'Tis the Season
In Dave’s scandalous question from last week about everyone’s pirating habits we were not surprised to see that a lot of people do resort to downloading things online. Interesting enough there was a spike in the results where people download content online illegally specifically when it is not available through any other means, illustrating what […]
Critical Hits Gift Guide 2007: The Games
Hello, and welcome again to the Critical Hits gift guide! Each year, we’ve taken a different tack for making recommendations.

Herein contain the best games that came out since the last holiday that make great […]
D&D and the Bardic Afterlife
I haven’t paid that much attention to 4th Edition so far, either I’ve been too busy or I’m really looking forward to having some surprises when it finally comes out. Back when Dave posted his first impressions of it I became really excited because it seemed, against all odds, that the designers at WotC were […]

For Glory!
I’ve been clamoring to post this all week, apparently one of the greatest television shows of all time that has been big in re-runs lately is making it’s glorious return on January 8th, 2008. It’s American Gladiators! You can visit the nbc site for the re-launch of the show, and I highly recommend watching the […]
Inq. of the Week: Musical Nerds
We’re hopefully back to some semblance of our normal schedule here at Critical Hits, between our hosting going wonky, me having indefinite bouts of sucking, and Dave going through the layers of hell known as Graduate School / End of the Semester we have really fallen behind here. Oh, and the fact that Rock Band […]
Rock Band First Impressions: The Good, the Bad, and the Clash
After sending DrScotto questing all around Maryland in search of Rock Band last Sunday, he arrived with the large box in tow and laid it at our feet to dig through many boxes, baggies, and instructions. Him, The O, my little brother, and myself rocked out for a few hours that night, each taking a […]
