Win, Lose, or Drawn & Quartered

April 13, 2007 by Dave

You’d think after attending a 10 day long convention about boardgaming I’d have lots to talk about, wouldn’t you? Well, the truth is, I spent a lot of time talking about game design, and terminology, and related issues while there quite a lot. While I have yet to become sick of talking about games and […]

Tech News Now

April 11, 2007 by drscotto

Here is the latest news in the world of technology. Sony has announced that it will no longer make the 20 gigabyte version of the PS3. All in all, this does not really matter, because this version of the PS3 was severely handicapped when compared to the 60 gigabyte model. Still, gamers no longer have […]

For the Intellectual Who Loves Comics!

April 10, 2007 by drscotto

On rare occasions, work that I complete in classroom studies becomes worth recommending to others. This is one such occasion. Scott McCloud, a writer and scholar of comics, released a black and white graphic novel entitled Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art in 1993. Within the pages, McCloud guides the reader through a thorough understanding of […]

Boardgame Snap Reviews: Gathering of Friends 2007

April 9, 2007 by Dave

So, I’m back, and some of you may be looking for recommendations on new boardgames. Well, in typical Snap Review fashion, here’s my quick impressions of nearly everything I played. I have excluded prototypes, tournaments, and my own games from this list. If you want me to elaborate more on what any of these games […]

Inquisition of the Week: Boardgaming Length

April 9, 2007 by Dave

Greetings all, I have returned from the Gathering of Friends. It seems that in my absence that Bartoneus saw fit to throw my avatar in a royal rumble. The people have spoken: they believe I could hold my own against an Umber Hulk riding a Bulette, even when fighting like a girl. I believe that […]

Review: Guitar Hero II

April 5, 2007 by drscotto

With a little practice, you can become the next Slash, Hendrix, or Peter Frampton! Well, at least in your own mind. Fresh off the success of Guitar Hero, Red Octane has released the first sequel to the highly acclaimed game. Guitar Hero II features new songs, more songs, new venues, and new characters. The Xbox […]

Bonus YouTube & Gathering Update: Loopin' Louie Championship 2007

April 5, 2007 by Dave

Because the game is pure skill and I’ve been practicing this past year, I made it to the finals of the Loopin’ Louie Championship at the Gathering. I am the first position to the left, to my right is William Attia, and across is the eventual winner Brian Stallings. If you watch the whole low-quality […]

They Call Me Monsieur Blob

April 4, 2007 by Bartoneus

While making fun of Dave has become status quo for me, laying on thick while he’s out of town is not exactly beneath me.  The original plan was to have a whole new banner at the top of the page for the whole week, but he has complete control of that.  Since I’m not the […]
