Starting next week, we’ll start putting our annual gift guide up. The categories will be different than last year, since most of what we covered last year hasn’t really changed. I also highly recommend checking them out again: DVD’s (one of the most comprehensive articles I’ve ever written) T-Shirts Games Everything Else If you have […]
"You've made me so happy! We could really use a healer!"
The dangers of playing WoW. (thanks, Amber!)
Street Fighter: The Later Years
I don’t even remember now how I came into the site, but somehow I wandered over to the College Humor video section, and found that they’ve started a series of short movies called “Street Fighter: The Later Years.” It’s quite funny and there are even a few twists and turns (and just enough special effects […]
Tomorrow is Worldwide D&D Game Day
Grab a d20 and head on down to Worldwide D&D Game Day! Well… maybe. The official WotC page says “pre-register with [a retailer] today!” Lame… I want to be able to walk into a store and play something and not be bound to an RPGA-ish schedule. Thankfully, here in Maryland we have plenty of quality […]
"You are mistaken, commissioner. The Hostess cup cakes are the real hero."
On a quest today to educate Bartoneus on the wonders of Hostess Fruit Pies, I came across this awesome archive of all the real Hostess Fruit Pie comic ads from the 70’s and 80’s. I could probably spend hours basking in their ridiculousness. And don’t forget that they can stop all manner of villain!
A few quick Halloween hits…
I’ve been getting a kick out of Zombie Fluxx lately, after a while of being burnt out on Fluxx. It adds some new neat things to the game, and hey, it’s got lots of zombies and classic zombie references. I’ve been hearing good things about Last Night on Earth as a bigger zombie board game, […]
RPG Superstar!
Paizo, the fine folks behind many awesome Dungeon and Dragon issues (until recently), have started a new contest to attract people to the RPG writing biz. They’re calling it “RPG Superstar“, and the first stage of the contest, a completely open call, starts today and accepts submissions for the next two weeks. The first thing […]
You can do that to Magic cards too, it's just not a big deal
We’ve talked briefly about Eye of Judgement before, the Sony/Wizards of the Coast game that merges the CCG with the PS3. I haven’t played it, nor to my knowledge has anyone on the staff here, but reviews say it’s pretty fun. It still has a huge cost of entry, however. Well, maybe not so bad, […]
Real Ultimate Showdown: News Updates and Sponsors
We’re preparing for our next Showdown. And this time, it’s going to be a smackdown between various hero-types. Who’s the most badass hero of them all? We’ll find out. This next round will be run a bit differently than the last, allowing more people to pick, and more chances for prizes until the very end. […]
"Dammit Jim, I'm a Doctor… and an asskicker"
Bartoneus, Sucilaria, and I all got to talking before the D&D game last Saturday about the new Star Trek movie. There’s some good choices, and some surprises too. Empire Online has a side by side comparison of the old actors and the new, and asks you to vote if the casting is good or not. […]
