Destroying Your Childhood, One Game at a Time
So last week I asked for requests on games that I could trash for game design reasons, and I got a pretty decent list of the usual suspects. So here we go:

Supreme Commander demo review
I have downloaded and thoroughly stomped through the demo of Supreme Commander. The demo opens with a decent sci-fi intro movie and soon enough gets into the killing. I played through the campaign demo games first as I like to slowly be introduced to units through a story. I could have jumped right into a […]
World of Warcraft Action Figures
DC Comics is branching out their action figure department, which as they announced recently will include World of Warcraft action figures. Thank god, is all I can say, as now when you’re simply forced to go on that family vacation to the middle of no-where with absolutely not contact to the internet, you can continue […]

YouTube of the Week: If Only the Doctor Carried a Wooden Badger Edition
A scene from the first season of the newest Doctor Who series, with the Dalek’s dialogue replaced with the French guys from Monty Python’s Quest for the Holy Grail. Speaking of which, check out this DM of the Rings comic about Monty Python quoting, and be sure to read the comics for some really funny […]
Inq. of the Week: They Have a Plan
Last week we asked about what you would give up in order to get some powers and recognition. By a wide majority, most people said that they’d easily give up having a home planet if it meant being a superman. Coming in second, people said that they wouldn’t mind playing second-banana to Mr. Potter. This […]
