Some weekend Portal viewing

March 21, 2008 by Dave

Stop-motion Portal Lego video, set to the awesome end song. The CH crew will be spending this weekend playing Xbox (and maybe some Wii and other games as well), so mayhap we’ll get a chance to play some games we haven’t played before, or maybe we’ll just play a lot of Halo 3 and Rock […]

Anime Batman and Other Hidden Comic Movies

March 20, 2008 by Dave

By now, most of you are probably aware of all the big superhero movies coming out this summer. However, there are a few other projects that haven’t gotten quite as much attention that I’m interested in. Justice League: New Frontier was released recently, and since I was a huge fan of the original comic, I […]

March 6, 2008 by Bartoneus

Today is exactly one year until the movie Watchmen is released, and now they’ve released a group of images of what many of the main characters look like.  Head over to the Watchmen site to see all of the glorious full-size shots.

RIP Gary Gygax

March 4, 2008 by Dave

I am completely devastated right now. No sooner did I make the post about GM’s day when I spotted the story on ENWorld. Up until the end he was posting on message boards and talking to his fans. He touched the lives of so many, including my own, and I am so sad right now […]

March Fo(u)rth for GM’s Day!

March 4, 2008 by Dave

Just a reminder that today is the official holiday of celebrating GMs! As usual, various publishers are having sales to celebrate (which tends to mean the GM spends more money, not less) but it seems there are fewer sales this year, possibly due to the pre-4e holding pattern. Regardless, either today or the next time […]
