It wasn’t all that long ago that if you wanted to play a rhythm game, your option was to play Dance Dance Revolution and all the neighbor-disturbing fake-dancing silliness that it implies. There were other entries that hit mainstream- Donkey Konga and Karoke Revolution come to mind, but none of them hit hard enough to […]
Game Carnival (If Only It Had Funnel Cake)
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
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 […]
Recent DMing stuff from the Bloggoshere
Instead of writing new DMstuff, why not link to interesting things other people have to say on the subject of DMing? Danny (Bartoneous) from Critical-hits talks about how to end a gaming session.

"The Kill Point" – Another Perspective
We were so enamored with being sent a copy of The Kill Point from Spike TV, we decided to write two separate reviews of the show. I watched the three episodes that were sent to Critical-Hits this weekend, separate from The Game to not be influenced by his opinion. (I actually watched them on my […]
A campaign's 1st session
It’s getting nearer. We should be starting our new (last?) D&D 3.5 campaign next Friday night. Now one of the 5 players as already said he’d be missing, I so hope that no one else will be missing as I designed the 1st session based on the strength of the whole party. It’s not a […]
