Inq. of the Week: Showdown

April 2, 2007 by Bartoneus

Last week we determined that it is a parent’s responsibility to teach a child what is right and wrong, and in so doing may responsibly decide what their child gets to watch as far as violence, sex, etc. on tv and in movies.  We also determined that some people dislike the term “melting pot”, that […]

A Game of Pure Skill

March 30, 2007 by Dave

I was at a party this past weekend that could at times have been described as “raucous.” Of course, I don’t go for this whole “unstructured social interaction” thing, so I was jonesing for gaming, coming off from a back to back win in drinking team foosball. Fortunately, I carry a game around with me […]

YouTube of the Week: It's rainin' 300 Edition

March 27, 2007 by Dave

Found via The Beat… it’s both hilarious and strangely hypnotic. Want to change your vote now? Too bad, you can’t. But you can talk about the violence (and sex).

Inq. of the Week: For Violence!

March 26, 2007 by Bartoneus

Last week’s Inquisition turned out a bit skewed, as some one/thing decided to spam vote for Superman 24 times in a row one morning.  Adjusting for this, the end results included 46 votes and I’d like to thank everyone who voted (and didn’t cheat) for participating!  It turns out the most of you (28%) would […]

Review: Tricked

March 25, 2007 by guest

Title: Tricked Author: Alex Robinson Year of Publication: 2005 Genre: Drama (graphic novel) Length: 349 pages, large book. It’s a fairly text-heavy graphic novel. Rating: 3/5 buy second-hand It sounds like a commercial for the latest Thursday night drama on Global; six adults, three men and three women, pushed together into an absurd and dangerous […]

Review: Spamalot

March 24, 2007 by Dave

What’s this? A review of musical theater on Critical Hits? Yes, it’s true, but this is a show that nerds everywhere owe it to themselves to see. Before there was The Gamers, before there was Fensler Films, the most quoted movie during D&D sessions was Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Years and years later, […]

PowSpiel of Friends West

March 23, 2007 by Dave

Last week, in my attempt to explain why games were art, I had to come up with a definition that I liked for art. Apparently nobody else liked it. However, I stick by it, but your mileage may vary. The only common ground josh0rfz and I could find about our definition of art involved guide’s […]
