Spike's Scream Awards

September 12, 2006 by Dave

I have mixed feelings about Spike as a network. Yes, there are multiple networks for women, and none other than Spike specifically “for men” except, you know, ESPN, Fox News, Cinemax, and, well, most of tv. On the flip side, Spike has Star Trek and Blade. Hmmm. All that aside, Spike has created their own […]

Inquisition of the Week: Religion?

September 11, 2006 by Bartoneus

Following older discussions about the differences between the Chronicles of Narnia and the Lord of the Rings book series, as well as a lot of the inevitable flak pertaining to the Left Behind RTS game, I ask you: Can Religion be a part of Games, Comics, and Movies?

Neon Genesis Evangelion OVA?

September 9, 2006 by Dave

According to ICV2, Gainax is in the works to produce four movies to completely retell the Evangelion story, but in a much simpler way. The move is designed to make the acclaimed series more “accessible” to new viewers (and presumably, viewers who were totally bewildered the first time around.) From the Article: “This “remake” will […]

Baltimore Comic-Con This Weekend

September 8, 2006 by Dave

Just so that you are aware, if you are within five states of Maryland and have ever looked at a comic, you are required BY LAW to attend the Baltimore Comic-con this weekend. The punishment for disobeying the law is creative Panda attack.

Twice the work, double the crazy: Playtesting your own RPG

September 8, 2006 by Dave

My current project (well, it’s been my current project for about 5 years now) is a supplement for d20 Modern. It introduces new classes, new character options, all that good crunchy stuff. It also has a very specific setting to the game that would need to be conveyed in a sourcebook to a GM. I […]

Part 3: An Apt Conclusion

September 6, 2006 by Bartoneus

Again, as always, this is based entirely upon real events. The preceedings, however, did not happen while in our current house as shown. Instead they took place in the dank cesspits of scum and villainy known as a Dorm room, which to this day remains the den of untold evils I dare not disclose (most […]

Inquisition of the Week: Summer Movies

September 4, 2006 by Dave

It’s September, and in many ways, summer is over. People are going back to school, the big holiday weekend is winding down (I spent most of it gaming), but now that we’ve seen it all and distanced it from the hype… What was your favorite summer movie? Nothing blew me away this summer, which is […]

Hard Truths About Game Design

September 1, 2006 by Dave

It sounds like a riddle: “What job pays less than minimum wage, but everyone wants?” Sadly, the answer I’m looking for is Game Designer. You might eventually be able to find a high paying job as a game designer for a video game company, but if you want to design for any other field, you […]
