A Journey Through Sci-Fi

July 5, 2007 by Bartoneus

I noticed today that Rotten Tomatoes has put up a list of their highest rated top 100 Science Fiction Movies of all time.  If you’ve never been to RT, it is a really nice site that congregates every critic’s opinion/review of a movie and gives them all equal share in the movie’s score.  They then […]

Roll Out: A Transformers Review

July 4, 2007 by The Main Event

I loved Transformers. There, I said it, and a spoiler-free review follows… Plot: A reasonably plausible series of events (considering the arrival of Extra-Terrestrial Non-Biological Beings) occur. Sure, there are some robots (I’m looking at you Frenzy) and some characters (Hackers?) and some events (nerd recluse with grandma, didn’t that ALSO happen in Live Free […]

Lovecraft: Terrifying Beginnings

June 27, 2007 by Bartoneus

I’ve been familiarized with the entire Lovecraftian mythos over the last eight years, but oddly enough I’d never gotten to picking up any of his actual writing.  Just last night I started into a collection of his stories and I am already greatly impressed.  I was shocked to find out more about the man himself, […]

Inq. of the Week: Transformers?

June 25, 2007 by Bartoneus

When asked which Star Wars games you liked most, Knights of the Old Republic came out on top with 58% of the votes which is not entirely surprising but I was still a bit shocked as I had assumed one of the more classic games/series would pull ahead.  The amazingly classic Tie-Fighter/X-Wing series came in second […]

Inq. of the Week: May the Dice be with you

June 18, 2007 by Dave

Last week, we asked what kind of gamer you classified yourself as. The top pick was Explorer/Achiever with 9 votes… possibly because it was the most positive of all the options. I know that most of you like to talk smack and just won’t admit it. Second place was my pick, the Dysfunctional Game Designer, […]

YouTube of the Week: Playing With Your Lightsaber Edition

June 12, 2007 by Dave

Presented for your approval: Two Star Wars fan videos. The first a short film called Jedi Breakfast, the second called “Three in the Afternoon.” Both will make you think about where you put your lightsaber. Or something. Be sure to check out Robot Chicken’s Star Wars Special this Sunday, and keep an eye out for […]

Inq. of the Week: Finales!

June 4, 2007 by Dave

Oh so long ago, we asked if the recently announced Starcraft 2 should increase the number of races in the game, and if so, what they should be. Most of you said that you’d rather keep it simple and maintain the balance in the game by having the original three races and nobody else. Coming […]
