Toothpaste for Dinner is my favorite webcomic, accomplishing the difficult task of being consistently hilarious on an almost daily basis. He’s not afraid to do nerdy jokes either, as shown above. I’m sure I’ll be showcasing several from his archives, but I highly recommend checking it out. Also, be sure to check out his line […]
When Things Get Nerfed, Angels Cry
Tons of blogs and sites rushed to cover the half-surprising / half-publicity seeking involvement of World of Warcraft in Southpark, and all quickly hurried to confirm that the Sword of a Thousand Truths was in fact a sword model found in the game but just happens to be a drop few will have for a […]
I call it abstract with the influences of a 3 year old
“Here’s this neat drawing tool” give the URL and then say “and here’s what we did with it” – The Game “Dude, I just want to show off the beholder with a rocket launcher and an axe” – josh The drawing is a collaborative effort between Sucilaria, joshx0rfz, and lastly Bartoneus. See if you can […]
Google Video of the Week: This is a SERIOUS game Edition
(ok, not actually a new feature, but I had to post this one. It’s French with English subtitles, but totally worth it. Like an even more Indie “The Gamers.”)
Game Designers: WTF?
Something very disturbing happened in the last few days, a bunch of game developer’s blogs passed around discussions on balance (particularly in MMOs) and some of the conclusions that were made seem unsettling. A hilarious, and informative, summary can be found at WorldIV. The first part of the discussion I stumbled upon was at Psychochild’s […]
You Tubes of the Week: Of Nerds and Hardware Stores Edition
A double dose of Weird Al this week: His new album, Straight Outta Lynwood, is released today. Go buy it!
OSU/GAMA/Wargamer Study Results
Remember that survey I asked you all to take? They have the first “sortie” of data back. They haven’t gone indepth with the analysis yet (and they admitted it was flawed in a few ways) but what we do have back are some not so surprising results- perhaps surprising in how overwhelming they are. 93% […]
Twice the work, double the crazy: Playtesting your own RPG
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 […]
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 […]
