A Serious Case… OF MURDER

February 5, 2006 by DarthCthulhu

I happened to come across an interesting adventure game on Newgrounds. In it, you play the ghost of a murdered man, trying to solve your own as well as other ghosts’ pasts. It does get a bit tedious at times, but it’s still a very impressive game. Good for an hour or two of Flash […]

D&D is REAL! This comic strip says so!

January 25, 2006 by drscotto

I’m a Roman Catholic and I find this to be one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen. I am more amused by the stupidity of the author/characters than anything else. Want to see what is so stupid? Click here!

Haven't you always wanted to brag that you were a Mystic Theurge?

January 24, 2006 by Dave

Someone once said to me, “The way I vote for President is that I look at the two canidates and decide which of them would be a better wizard, because the skills required for wizard and president are very similar.” I guess that’s why Al Gore lost, because as we know from Futurama, he’s a […]

January 14, 2006 by Bartoneus

Game players as a people, often deemed such reverent titles as “nerd” and “dork”, are known for their quirkiness and general lack of a full range of social skills. It’s true. That’s why we spend our […]

Death of SWG

November 16, 2005 by DarthCthulhu

I’ve tried many MMORPGs in my time (ranging from the original Everquest to World of Warcraft) and while most have been amusing for a few hours, none had been able to keep my interest for very long. The game that kept my interest for the longest was Star War Galaxies. The reason? Because they did […]

November 1, 2005 by Bartoneus

(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.
