“It’s like they put a high scoring mechanism on a Rainy-Day-Jigsaw-Puzzle session and realized it was (redacted) addictive.” -me on Twitter.
Surviving
Survival mode pumps Fallout 4’s feel up to the right notch, adding a little something I missed without quite knowing it.
Shotgunning
Since that day my first nameless elf died in the gray-ooze cave in The Keep on the Borderlands, I was hooked. I got into roleplaying games over three decades ago because I was interested in the drama.
Preview: “Chasm” Video Game
I distinctly remember leaving my apartment one day and running into my neighbor. He looked at my shirt and said, “Wow, you like Castlevania?” Fast-forward a few years, and a few minutes on my computer, and my neighbor gave me an alpha copy of his successful Kickstarter “Metroidvania” homage, Chasm.
Review: “Lords of Waterdeep” for iPad & iPhone
Lords of Waterdeep for iOS brings together two things I already like, so you can probably predict the result. So to say I was excited about these two coming together, announced months ago, would be an understatement. And thankfully, the end result is as good as I’d hoped.
The State of D&D, Post-Gen Con 2013
I feel like this post should start with a Star Wars crawl: “It was a time of great change in Dungeons & Dragons…”

Everyone hated Microsoft with the fury of a thousand suns for all the DRM and required Internet check-ins and Sony said “we’ll maintain the status quo!” to standing ovations. Then Microsoft said “okay […]
I Have A Reaction To Console Gaming
When I was 4, I got an ear infection or strep throat or some other relatively minor infection, and my parents gave me some sort of Sulfa-based antibiotic. That was a really bad idea, because it turns out I am crazy allergic to that, and I basically turned into a tiny red Frankenstein with crazy […]
Get Out Of My Dreams, Get Into My TARDIS
I recently finished BioShock Infinite. I know an army of people who loved everything about this game, especially the story. I enjoyed it, but the ending left me a little flat.
