A scandal that seems to have exploded over the weekend despite actually happening two months ago: Sony, who has some problems in the PR department, decided to throw a big event to celebrate the launch of God of War 2 in, appropriately enough to the game’s story, Athens. They also decided to go the extra […]
Game Design, the Slacker Way
First, I want to recommend some other game design blog reading that is not my own: The Importance of Being Elegant takes a good shot at attempting to define elegance in board games and providing means by which we can evaluate a game for elegance. Good stuff that I need to dive into further. Sometimes, […]
Jurassic Park 3 Island Survival Game: A Review
The Big Picture: Jurrasic Park 3 Island Survival Game is a board game produced by Hasbro based on the movie of the same name. Many board games based off of movies tend to be poorly designed, with the intent to sell copies based off of the title and not from the game-play. Hence, many board […]
Starcraft Boardgame has a Release Date
I’m sure you’d rather see the announcement of Starcraft 2, but at least it’s something to tide over you Zergling fans out there. The Starcraft boardgame will be released in September of this year (and unlike Blizzard, Fantasy Flight is known to get its stuff out on time.) The game will be in the FF […]
Interview: Fellowship of the Dice
Back in December, I tried to round up all the D&D and gaming related movies on DVD that I could find. Even in the course of four months, even more have come out. One of the most promising of the new releases is the Mocumentary/Documentary Fellowship of the Dice, which was just released on DVD […]
Stick it to 'em MSNBC – about damn time
Jack Thompson gets it for his ridiculous comments on the VT shootings. Linky Edit by Bartoneus: It looks like he’s getting called out on his BS by the San Francisco Chronicle too, and I imagine more to come.
YouTube of the Week: Micheal Bay Should Just Make This Edition
The original Transformers movie cast as Lord of the Rings. Strangely compelling. I found this, along with a number of other potential candidates, at The Trailer Mash (I rejected the many 300 parodies there, but the Anchorman one is worth checking out).
Inq. of the Week: Spring/Summer Movies
Last week, we asked if you thought there was “more than meets the eye” to the new Transformers designs. Most of you thought that they looked awesome, with a strong contingent for merely pretty good and a wish that they had gone more old school with them. As I pointed out in Trailermania I last […]
Review: Hot Fuzz (2007)
There’s a small change of pace this week in the Librarian’s Tome section. Instead of a book review, I’ve wandered into the film section of the library (not completely of my own free will, as I still prefer books, but spouses can be persuasive) and present to you Librarian’s Tome: Film Edition. Title: Hot Fuzz […]
The Many Fates of Mario Mario
I’m currently blasting my way through Super Paper Mario, which is ridiculously fun and old school, but may be a tad too short. So here’s a couple starring-Mario webcomics and art pieces that have caught our attention recently: Sticky Note Theatre: The Untold Enemies of Mario Perry Bible Fellowship: Mario Too VGCats: Koopa! Thrice Fresh: […]
