Inq. of the Week: They Have a Plan

February 5, 2007 by Dave

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 […]

1Up Pulls Through

February 4, 2007 by Bartoneus

Over dinner on this fine sunday…day, my lovely wife pointed out a very enlightening article to me. It is 1Up’s examination of the similarities between the launch of the PS2 back in 2000 and the PS3 just a few short months ago.

Bad News for Comic Movies

February 4, 2007 by Bartoneus

In our Casting Call Inquisition a few weeks ago, I voted for the Wonder Woman movie simply because Joss Whedon was writing and directing it. Thankfully the movie only got 2 out of 20 votes in our poll, as the news is now out that Whedon is off the job entirely! This is absolutely devastating, […]

It's Now Official

February 2, 2007 by Dave

Due to how busy I’ve been this week, I’m not able to present my normal indepth (read: long) commentary about design. There are a few things that I wanted to mention: WizKids has scored the Halo license, and will be producing “Halo ActionClix.” No word what, if anything, it’s going to be compatible with. I […]

God's Instant Idiot Machine

January 31, 2007 by Bartoneus

This week’s Random Encounter comes to you solely because it snowed a half an inch in about 1 hour’s time this afternoon in Maryland.  Trapped in such weather, be sure to arm yourself with delicious meats, so as to fling them at other survivors in hopes that the Ninjar…Polinja…Polar Bearinjas forsake you for a more protein […]

Inq. of the Week: Pick your Poison

January 29, 2007 by Bartoneus

Last week’s poll showed that most people are anticipating a Game of Thrones TV Show, while Wheel of Time, Watchmen, Wonder Woman, and NGE all tied for second.  We’re certainly hoping that all of them turn out excellent!  This week’s Inquisition is about choosing your flaws with your gifts, what would you accept in order […]
