History aside, I would like to discuss my opinion of the game and why I was so obsessively absorbed by it for two years. While WoW did dominate my life, I allowed it to for a good reason: I really enjoyed it. I feel Blizzard designed the game like a casino in that they didn’t […]
World of Warcraft: An Addict's Look back, Part One
(Due to the length of this article, I decided to split it into two parts) For those of you who know me personally, and those who have read this site since its origin, have most certainly noticed how little I have participated with the critical-hits discussions. I am, in fact, good friends with all of […]
Inq. of the Week: Favorite Gaming Movies & TV
Who would make the best Solid Snake on the Screen? According to you guys, Hugh Jackman would make the best occasionally-runs-around-in-underwear superspy, while previous other Snake Kurt Russell comes in second. Writing yesterday’s review made me wonder the following question, which is another movie question: {democracy:7} In the comments, tell us why you like what […]
Review: Gamerz movie
While researching my article on Gaming DVDs for one of our gift guides, I thought I had come across nearly all the movies done about gaming.

Now THAT is an Internet success story. Though it comes from the often-not-accurate Ain’t […]
YouTube of the Week: Finals Fantasy Edition
Another verification that I had a good idea because the idea is used again! This time, an epic series (four parts clocking in at over 40 minutes) doing a live action Final Fantasy game set on a college campus. The first time they entered combat I cracked up. Final Fantasy jokes, stop motion gags, and, […]
My Favorite Published Adventure
A little break from my boardgame design tribulations, as I take a look at tabletop rpgs… Publishing adventures is a tough business nowadays. While the Open Gaming License meant that there is a wealth of adventures to choose from, it also means that anyone can put out an adventure. While review sites like ENWorld have […]
Ringing in the New Year
It’s the beginning of the new year, which means the blogosphereoversointerwebtube is a buzz analyzing the previous year. Here’s some interesting highlights of the last week: Heidi over at The Beat sent a survey to a group of comics professionals about the biggest story in comics of the past year and what’s to come in […]
