Two Great Tastes Together

September 5, 2007 by Dave

Ogrecave points us to The Supercrew, a role-playing game about playing yourself but with superpowers. While there are many superhero RPGs, this is the first that we know of to be done entirely as a comic strip. The preview’s narrative style even has something of an Understanding Comics vibe to it, though the art is […]

I CAN HAZ CRIT?

September 4, 2007 by Dave

It was bound to happen: a thread has started on ENWorld with D&D-style LOLcats. (And for those of you unfamiliar with LOLcats, you can go to the source. For those of you unfamiliar with D&D, I can help with that too.)

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 […]

Game Carnival (If Only It Had Funnel Cake)

August 22, 2007 by Dave

Yehuda has posted the newest Game Carnival, which includes two of my Critical Threat articles. It also contains a number of other articles about games, from a few theory articles to some video game reviews. I haven’t gone through all of them yet, but already I’m digging an article by Corvus that I missed when […]

Doritos Contest: Total Joke

August 22, 2007 by Dave

Wired has a funny article up about the winners of a recent contest sponsored by Doritos to pitch games for Xbox Live Arcade. The kind of games selected are hilarious by themselves, but the article goes the extra distance of mocking them. A friend of mine entered a few ideas into the contest, mistaking it […]

August 13, 2007 by Bartoneus

I am utterly blown away right now. Mike Wieringo passed away yesterday of a heart attack at the age of 44. Mike was an amazingly talented artist who worked on a lot of comcis for Marvel, no matter what he did he was top notch calibur all the way. It just floors me that a […]

Nerd News Update 8/8/07

August 8, 2007 by Bartoneus

There is a Warcraft Movie Blog, and it has some psuedo-news gathered through what I assume was some form of scrying or dark ritual performed at Blizzcon.  Today at BlizzCon 2007 we have heard our first solid and interesting information with regards to the Warcraft, or to some, the World of Warcraft Movie. This movie […]
