YouTube of the Week: Betraying Warthog Edition

April 22, 2008 by Dave

One of the many Halo 3 videos out there… but can you predict the twist? Suggested by The Foodist.

My Tax return and Hockey ate my post!

April 21, 2008 by The Chatty DM

I wanted to write a post, I really did. However, with a decisive Hockey game tonight and me having to run to my accountant’s place to drop my tax papers (we’re late!!!), there’s no way I can make it. I may write one tomorrow morning. Wish my home team luck… Go Jets Habs Go! Edit: […]

Inquisition of the Week: Musical Tastes

April 21, 2008 by Dave

You have spoken that the Warlord is the class you are most looking forward to in fourth edition! If only there was a way for you to get a significant preview of what the Warlord will be like. Oh wait, there is! The Warlock came in second (either because it’s the other new class, or […]

Chatty’s Mailbox: The Magnificent Villain

April 20, 2008 by The Chatty DM

While I was writing my 300th milestone post, I got a very interesting email from a reader. Here’s what he wrote: Good afternoon! I’ve been a long time reader of and commenter on your blog, and I was looking for some brainstorming help. Specifically, what kind of holds could a magnificent bastard have over a […]

Hit by a (consultative) Drive-by Shooting

April 20, 2008 by The Chatty DM

This morning I woke up covered in (figurative) blood. I had just been the target of James and Harry (of Men with Pens‘s fame) Drive-by Shooting Sundays. The rather colorful and fluffed-up setup is actually a lookover consultation of the blog from the eyes of trained online buisness men. While I knew that the Blog […]

From the WTF Crossover Department…

April 18, 2008 by Dave

Many years after Capcom vs. Marvel, the other side(s) have responded! A Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe game looks to be in development (and has a brief Sub-Zero vs. Batman brawl trailer.) I suppose in video games, ridiculous crossovers will never go out of style, no matter how advanced the graphics are! Who wants to […]

“You’re a disgrace to Tauren culture,” said the shaman Lolhamburger

April 18, 2008 by Dave

Normally I don’t link to Penny Arcade, since telling gamers to read Penny Arcade is like telling ninjas to sneak around: it’s just gonna happen anyway. Today’s column is well worth reading and recommending. The results of their “Exactly 10 Words about WoW” contest were posted today. There’s some really good ones in there, both […]

Chatty’s Random Thoughts: Potions

April 18, 2008 by The Chatty DM

Chatty steps on the stage and walks up to the mike, looking nervous. He clears his throat, takes a deep breath and starts. How ya doin? Nice to see y’all here. All right, what’s the deal with potions? I mean it’s a spell that you drink. You chug that little bottle of power and it […]

300th Post!

April 17, 2008 by The Chatty DM

Hell, I’ve been trying to say something about my 300th post and everything sounds either clinically boring or monstrously egocentric. This is my 3rd stab at it… Bottom line, I can’t believe I made it that far and I owe it all to you that take a few minutes to read my ramblings!  It means […]
