Inq. of the Week: Lee vs. Lee vs. Lee

March 5, 2007 by Dave

Last week we asked who would win in a fight: the Mutant Master of Magnetism and Manipulation, or some guy in a white dress. For whatever reason, despite my masterful arguments, 75% of you said that the “quasi-god with undefinable powers” would win. But along those lines comes a new potential fight that hopefully should […]

Comic Snap Reviews 3-2-7

March 2, 2007 by Dave

Here’s what I read this week, with some spoilers attached. And this week, I decided to rate each comics on a scale of “HIT, MEH, or MISS.” Enjoy.

FFXII : When Elementals Attack

February 28, 2007 by Bartoneus

The most delightful thing about Final Fantasy XII is that, when it rains, there are these big ball of energy elementals who wander around various areas of the game.  Their primary purpose is to look at first glance like an average level friendly mob, but upon hearing one of your characters have a wet-dream about […]

Don't Hate the Makers, Hate the Game

February 28, 2007 by Bartoneus

Since Burning Crusade launced in January, I’ve read a lot about World of Warcraft despite not actually playing it anymore. One of the most apparent things I’ve seen is that there are even more complaints about class balance now then there were before the expansion released. It seems like Blizzard is really toying with spells, […]

YouTube of the Week: Emperor's New Groove Edition

Made by G4, the Emperor finds himself in need of a new job…

Inq. of the Week: McKellen vs. McKellen

February 26, 2007 by Bartoneus

Last week’s Inquisition asked what your favorite Gaming-related tv show/episode or movie was, and it looks like the majority voted for the excellent episode of Dexter’s Laboratory titled D&DD.  Good choice! This week we are asking perhaps the most important question ever asked in the history of the universe: {democracy:8}  This is probably the greatest showdown […]

Review: Thief of Time

February 25, 2007 by guest

Title: Thief of Time Author: Terry Pratchett Year of Publication: 2002 Genre: Fantasy/Fiction Length: 384 pages in the hardcover version Rating: 3.5/5 – Worth buying second-hand. Review: Thief of Time is one of the many Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett. Although this one doesn’t spend all of it’s time in the “charming” city of Anhk-Morpork, […]

Comic Snap Reviews 2-22-07

February 24, 2007 by Dave

Each week, I read a bunch of comics, and give you a brief statement about what I thought about the comic. Sometimes, I photoshop the comics and try to be funny. There are some spoilers but I try not to completely ruin a comic. This week, I might as well start with the big one…

Workshopping Games (and not Games Workshop)

February 23, 2007 by Dave

The problem with taking several writing classes at once is that they ALL want to teach you how to workshop, even though there’s only so much you can teach about being a critical thinker about a piece of artistic expression. A lot of it is having experience in the field in question. For example, I’m […]

JLA the movie

February 22, 2007 by Bartoneus

You all know by now that I just can’t pass up relaying comic book movie news. Found at Angry Zen Master, news that Warner Bros. has decided to hire writers for a Justice League movie and I assume DC comics will have a big part in it too. This echoes rumors recently of both Brandon […]
