Okay so it isn’t exactly a dungeon, more of an insanely huge cathedral, it is not entirely ludicrous to concieve of them having dark passageways and shall I say almost dank accomodations. Now we finally see that the thing which our hero was curious about in the first one is none other than the cuddly, […]
YouTube of the Week: 'Nuff Said Edition
(It’s a full pilot, around 20 minutes, so beware before you start watching. And it’s a shame this isn’t way better, since it features my three favorite comedians.)
Inquisition of the Week: Bosses!
This week’s question pertains mostly to videogames, but if your brain works in abstract ways yet unknown to mankind, you can most likely relate it to boardgames, tabletop RPG’s, or even a day at work in the office. The question is purposefully left very general, so that you can take it however you like. What […]
The Digital World of Analog Play
One of the stories posted in nearly all the news sites I read is that Microsoft is going to make three Spiel Des Jahres winning boardgames available as downloadable content from Xbox Live. Turning boardgames into videogames has been going on for a long, long time: my parents used to play Backgammon and Bridge on […]
Finally Some Intelligence
After yesterday’s post which was later announced to be full of fraudulent material, I felt it necessary to bring everyone up to speed on the ESRB discussions. From the comments on my last post, The Game helpfully pointed out the good Dr. Thompson’s rebuttal which you can see here. It is a very well spoken/written […]

Part 1: Into the Dungeon
While not exactly a typical day at work for me, any day’s events could be similar to the ones in this comic at their essence. Corridors are traversed, doors opened, oozes groped, and ominous corners turned into. As the title commands, this is the first part of what has already been deemed an epic saga. […]
YouTube of the Week: Paralyzing Fear of Water Edition
(In honor of the sequel being premiered at GenCon. The non-Youtubed trailer is here.)
GTF Principle
Quick, what do: Dungeons & Dragons Magic: The Gathering Diskwars and Mage Knight have in common? They enjoy or enjoyed commercial success by the GTF (Get There First) Principle.
An Interesting Study in Gaming
There is a fantastic article that you need to read about a gamer encouraging his mother to try out the X-Box 360 and various games for the console. It is a rather lengthy read, but the entire thing is definitely worth the time! As is extremely rare in the online news market, this is a […]
