In our group, if you make a rules mistake and inadvertently try to cheat, Jake will say “Give me your hand.” He becomes quite insistent until you present your hand, at which point, he will slap it on the backside like a nun’s yardstick. This is his way of enforcing the rules, and I believe, […]
NerdNews Rundown
Despite being currently infatuated with the recent Pirates movie, I am bringing one final news rundown to you before I head out for the weekend. As such, here is a pirate-free news report. He-Man Movie Planned Dark Horizons is reporting that Warner Brothers is planning a live action movie entitled “Masters of the Universe.” The […]
Shiver me Timbers, Pirates be a Hit!

My Halo 3 Beta Impressions

Arkadia was described as “stock market tetris” to me, and Jenseits von Theben sounds a bit more “gamery.” And nobody seems to be gung-ho about Thief of Baghdad. There’s […]
Inq. of the Week: For Aiur!
We were really curious to see which movie-watching experience you would prefer, and not surprisingly the majority chose to watch an excellent movie (RotK) even though it involved getting punched repeatedly in the stomach (either hard or light, possibly causing internal bleeding, unless they’re delivered by DrScotto at which point your head will explode!) with […]
