“If you think things can’t get worse it’s probably only because you lack sufficient imagination.” Oh, the Sony mess just keeps getting better and better. Not only does the DRM check up on you to make sure you’re making nice through the use of a Rootkit. Not only can the Sony DRM be used to […]
Twilight Imperium: From a Winner's Perspective!
I am sure that those of you who are reading this have more than likely read the reviews submitted by Dennis and Dave. If you have not, then you should before diving yourself any further into this materpiece! They both provide good insights and thoughts into the game mechanics and rules system.
Twilight Imperium Review: Smaller, Less Detailed, and More Postive
I bought Twilight Imperium based on my love of big epic games, such as Game of Thrones (also from Fantasy Flight) and a desire to buy a game as a form of escapism from my mind-numbing, short-lived experience in sales hell. I’ve since played it twice, and enjoyed both experiences, but there is something about […]
The Twilight of the Imperium 3rd Edition: Dave's Derisive Take
Twilight Imperium 3rd edition was released this year, updating a Fantasy Flight Games classic to adapt some more modern ideas in board gaming. I own the second edition, and played it twice, but it hasn’t really left the shelf in many years, due to time and complexity involved. I have now played the 3rd edition […]
Big Blizzard is Watching
Those who play World of Warcraft probably know about the little service it runs called The Warden. The Warden is a program that runs statistical analysis on a player’s system to make sure that no cheating programs are being used. What Blizzard failed to mention, of course, was that the program also does some pretty […]
Teamwork (An Umberhulk Riding a Bullette)
(Edit from the future: this post references an old theme we used, and is entirely based upon a header we had that featured editted images of Umberhulks riding Bullettes…those were the days. ~Bart) At this point I feel it is necessary to provide an explanation of one of our title blocks for the site. Many […]
Virus Music – Sony Gets Down With the Sickness
So. Sony has gone to using rootkits as a method of providing Digital Restrictions Management. For those who aren’t aware, here’s a quick rundown on what a rootkit and what DRM is: A root kit is a set of tools used by an intruder after cracking a computer system. These tools can help the attacker […]
Casshern
I have just seen one of the most astounding things. Based on an old anime series, Casshern is a lengthy epic with all the trappings of classic anime stylings captured in a steampunk reality.
Into the Abyss
I like to think that I’m a pretty mentally with it. I mean, I might freak out if I saw Cthulhu or something, but it still takes a lot to actually shake me. I can look at those terrible medical photos on Snopes and not bat an eye. Horrific visions of apocalyptic scenes don’t faze […]
More D&D to replace what is missing in our lives
Wizards of the Coast has started selling bumper stickers. Most of them are pretty uninspired, though “Don’t make me roll for initiative” is pretty good. It’s still not enough to topple classics such as “Carpe DM: Seize the Dungeon Master” and “Jesus Saves (and takes half damage)” I do like that Wizards is expanding to […]
