Wizards of the Coast announced that they are working on a new online portal called Gleemax, both from an inside joke among the staff and (I assume) something that sounds vaguely like Google. Icv2 has the big interview with VP of Digital Games Randy Buehler, which explains what Gleemax will one day be. The site…will […]
YouTube of the Week: Playing With Your Lightsaber Edition
Presented for your approval: Two Star Wars fan videos. The first a short film called Jedi Breakfast, the second called “Three in the Afternoon.” Both will make you think about where you put your lightsaber. Or something.

Inq. of the Week: Gamer Types?
Last week you all cast your votes in the quest to determine which TV show’s season finale was truly the best. Heroes came up with a whopping 55% of the votes, with Lost in second place at 24%. I didn’t actually see any of the season enders other than Lost’s, and I imagine this is […]
Why Do We Play Games Anyway?

Is there a sole decision in Candyland, and is […]

Inq. of the Week: Finales!
Oh so long ago, we asked if the recently announced Starcraft 2 should increase the number of races in the game, and if so, what they should be. Most of you said that you’d rather keep it simple and maintain the balance in the game by having the original three races and nobody else. Coming […]
Balticon Panel Recap / Crappy First Prototypes
First, thanks to everyone who came out and attended the panel I was on at Balticon. The guys with me on the panel are geniuses who I always like comparing ideas too, and I’m glad we had a good discussion with an audience that seemed genuinely interested. Some random points that I remember from the […]
We're back!
Sorry for the downtime everyone- we became too popular! We’ll be sure this month to make sure we have plenty of bandwidth to last us, especially to accomodate all the new stuff we want to do… (mysterious!) We’ll try to fill in a few days worth of posts for the last week. The Inquisition of […]
