The trip to Ohio ended up being uneventful, and the day before I headed to the con was filled with some Guitar Hero 2, Big Bumpin’, poker, and Omega Virus… and my glasses broke. It took two tries to find an eyeglasses store that could fit me in on the day after the 4th of […]
Roll Out: A Transformers Review
I loved Transformers. There, I said it, and a spoiler-free review follows… Plot: A reasonably plausible series of events (considering the arrival of Extra-Terrestrial Non-Biological Beings) occur. Sure, there are some robots (I’m looking at you Frenzy) and some characters (Hackers?) and some events (nerd recluse with grandma, didn’t that ALSO happen in Live Free […]
Origins Pregame
A good friend once said to me, on the occasion of the finale of a D&D game where nearly all the players were moving away, “I’ll see you all once a year for the rest of my life.” He was referring to Origins. Origins is the yearly tabletop gaming convention (dare I say extravaganza) located […]

Inquisition of the Week: Ridiculous Critiques

Fallout 3: Developer Q & A with the Press (Part 2)
(Continued from Part 1- be sure to have read that first!) Q: Will there be character titles that you gain from certain actions / quests? (Like “Destroyer of Worlds”) A: Yes, there will be titles related to your level and your alignment on the sliding scale of Karma/Reputation. Q: How is the AI different from […]
Fallout 3: Developer Q & A with the Press (Part 1)
After seeing the demo at the press event, and after an excellent lunch, we were brought back into the theater to have an extended Q & A session with Todd Howard, Emil Pagliarulo, and Pete Hines. These questions were all asked by various members of the press who attended, and I have absolutely no idea […]
Fallout 3: An Outsider's Inside View
Back in early June I was fortunate enough to attend the Fallout 3 Press Event at Bethesda Soft, where we got to see about an hour’s worth of game play and ask a whole lot of questions with Todd Howard, Emil Pagliarulo, and Pete Hines. Right off I would like to extend a huge thank […]
