In case you have not yet heard yet, my dear friends (and I mean that in all sincerity, without sarcasm) in the Republican party have successfully attached an anti-online gambling act to a recent measure address port security. This was a saavy political move done by majority leader Bill Frist as a means of ensuring […]

Inquisition of the Week: One Year Later
Critical-hits.com is one year old! We started in August of 2005 under the name “Great Justice” as a temporary site to get WordPress up to speed. Our staff then started exchanging emails about what to call the site. There were a number of names that I liked but were centered around “Nerd Pride” which not […]
Review: Straight Outta Lynwood
After last Sunday’s premier of a Robot Chicken episode that featured a Weird Al video, the Adult Swim bump said something to the effect of: “If you took a time machine back to 1986 and said, in 20 years, Micheal Jackson = flamed out, Weird Al = still relevant, we’d have laughed our asses off.” […]
Game Designers: WTF?
Something very disturbing happened in the last few days, a bunch of game developer’s blogs passed around discussions on balance (particularly in MMOs) and some of the conclusions that were made seem unsettling.

Romantic Computers Cannot Cry

Inquisition of the Week: Heroes

OSU/GAMA/Wargamer Study Results
Remember that survey I asked you all to take? They have the first “sortie” of data back. They haven’t gone indepth with the analysis yet (and they admitted it was flawed in a few ways) but what we do have back are some not so surprising results- perhaps surprising in how overwhelming they are. 93% […]
This is How a Guild Dies (part 2)
Welcome back, I assume you enjoyed the puppies. We left off on our story at the vicious modem refusing to bear its electronic burden, instead opting to commit ritual sepuku on a regular basis. I was driven temporarily insane, either from the lack of constant internet or because of solar flares, it could have been […]
