Inq. of the Week: Science Fiction/Fantasy Fall Shows

September 17, 2007 by Dave

Will the Playstation 3 make a come back? Survey says… no. The 360 and the Wii seem to have no sign of slowing down, and the PS3 is just too far behind to make a come back. Sony is still a big company with plenty of capital behind it, so I’d be surprised if the […]

Real Ultimate Showdown Round 1

September 13, 2007 by Dave

[This round is over, go vote in the FINAL ROUND] Many a rivalry is legendary. Pirates vs. Ninjas. Robots vs. Zombies. Werewolves vs. Unicorns. But which one of these groups is truly best? joshx0rfz and I were talking about how the Muse video that was posted yesterday was all kinds of awesomeness, and discussed what […]

Inq. of the Week: PlayStation 3

September 10, 2007 by Bartoneus

In a showdown of upcoming superhero movies, it looks like The Dark Knight and Watchmen come out on top, with the Batman sequel one full vote in the lead! The Incredible Hulk movie got absolutely NO love, despite the changes such as Ed Norton playing Bruce Banner, a new look for the cg hulk, and […]

Touching is Good

September 5, 2007 by Bartoneus

Today Apple let loose a barrage of news, possibly most exciting of which for the masses is the new i-Pod Touchwhich is essentially an i-Phone – phone + more music. Not content to leave the day at that, the company also unveiled a new i-Pod Nano now as a squat device with a small screen […]

Inq. of the Week: Tights and Spandex

September 3, 2007 by Dave

Most of the CH crew spent the day partying at a cook out at my place- with plenty of games of course. Guitar Hero 2, Wario Ware, Wii Sports, Wii Play, Get Bit!, Celebrities, Squint, You Must Be an Idiot, and Mall of Horror all were played at some point during the party. But the […]

From Screen to Board: Translating Properties into Boardgames

August 31, 2007 by Dave

Here’s a pretty solid rule of game design: any game you design in your dreams is likely to be crap. (That’s not to say you can’t get inspiration from dreams, but you’re unlikely to get a good game out of one you made up in a dream.) A friend of mine brought this up recently […]

Who Games the Gamesmen?

August 30, 2007 by Dave

I don’t find myself particularly drawn to being active in online message boards. There are plenty I read, especially when a big story happens, but overall, I don’t post much. I find myself getting my “feathers easily ruffled” when there are vocal internet dickwads, which seem to thrive in the message board environment. I find […]

Inq. of the Week: It's All About You?

August 27, 2007 by Bartoneus

Our poll will continue through the week, asking you what you thought about the announcement of D&D 4th Edition, right now the majority seems to be cautiously optimistic which in my opinion is the best way to go. It definitely doesn’t hurt you to be hopeful about the product, and from what we’ve heard and […]
