BSG, Lost Ending

May 11, 2007 by Dave

IESB.net is reporting that Season 4 of Battlestar Galactica will be its last. The site spoke to Edward Olmos (Admiral Adama) who stated that the next will be the last, which was confirmed by Katee Sackhoff (Starbuck.) Obviously this isn’t a definite coming from the stars and not an official network release, but it doesn’t […]

Jurassic Park 3 Island Survival Game: A Review

April 26, 2007 by originalsultan

The Big Picture: Jurrasic Park 3 Island Survival Game is a board game produced by Hasbro based on the movie of the same name. Many board games based off of movies tend to be poorly designed, with the intent to sell copies based off of the title and not from the  game-play. Hence, many board […]

Inq. of the Week: Spring/Summer Movies

April 23, 2007 by Dave

Last week, we asked if you thought there was “more than meets the eye” to the new Transformers designs. Most of you thought that they looked awesome, with a strong contingent for merely pretty good and a wish that they had gone more old school with them. As I pointed out in Trailermania I last […]

40k: A New Direction?

April 18, 2007 by originalsultan

As the latest rumors would have it, Games Workshop is apparently taking a new direction in overall product design and marketing strategy. Thanks to The Bolter and Chainsword for this interesting post (who, I should mention, originally took it from Dakka Dakka). New Direction of Games Workshop A lot of what is said in the […]

YouTube of the Week: Trailermania I

April 17, 2007 by Dave

With so many possibly great movies coming out this summer, I thought I’d post a few trailers for your amusement, starting with the one that has equal potential for great and terrible.

Inq. of the Week: Transformers!

April 16, 2007 by Bartoneus

Last week Dave asked you what length of board game you prefered, and the consensus looks to have come out that most of you prefer 20 minute to 1 hour long games, after that 1-4 hour and the insanely quick less then 1 minute long games.  Surprisingly no one hates boardgames, and no one likes […]

Trivial Pursuits

March 29, 2007 by Bartoneus

Continuing our obsessive week of 300, I wanted to post some interesting trivia about the movie.  I am consistently amazed at the number of people who don’t know about or go to the Internet Movie Database (IMDb), but my college roomate/movie-guru Kyle showed it to my wife and I one day and we were hooked.  […]

Don't Believe the Anti-Hype

March 28, 2007 by Bartoneus

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. We become inextricably attached to these things, and we grow to love or nurture them, investing a part […]

WoW Action Figures Update

March 21, 2007 by Bartoneus

To tide you over until the Random Encounter is up later today, I wanted to fulfill one of my promises made back in early February.  I said that I would post images of the World of Warcraft action figures as soon as they came out, but as I don’t visit the WoW homepage very often I must […]

Inq. of the Week: And Stay Dead!

March 19, 2007 by Dave

Last week’s poll asked you what you thought about men without shirts tossing elephants off cliffs. It was a close race, with ” Very good” pulling slightly ahead of “Awesome!” and those of you who didn’t like it are few and far between. Of course, this isn’t a scientific poll, probably people searching for the […]
