Last week, we tried to find out if any of you were as amused by some of the critiques of what we know of Fallout 3. The majority of people did not call me a moron, but only by a slim margin, as most of you picked that all the complains were reasonable. Second place […]

Origins Report: "The Gamers: Dorkness Rising" and "Geekin'"
Overhead at Origins: “Would you seriously attack 2 battleships with a bomber and a carrier?” “You have died of dysentery.” -Said by someone in a game where everyone points guns at each other. “You look halfway competent. Can you tie this up?” -Said by a man in a chicken costume to a con employee. “Have […]

Icv2 has the big interview with VP of Digital Games Randy Buehler, which explains what Gleemax will one day be. The site…will […]

Back in December, I tried to round up all the D&D and gaming related movies on DVD that I could find. Even in the course of four months, even more have come out. One of the most promising of the new releases is the Mocumentary/Documentary Fellowship of the Dice, which was just released on DVD […]
Dragon, Dungeon Magazines to Cease Publication
Just over the wire from GamingReport: Dragon Magazine and Dungeon Magazine, the 30+ year old magazines of D&D, roleplaying, and much more, is ceasing publication.

Don't Believe the Anti-Hype
No Random Encounter this week, I’m too busy prepping for next week’s excellence! ‘Nerd Culture’ is a very unique thing; we place much of our spirits upon movies and games, the things which entertain us the most.
