Critical Hits Podcast #10: Entropia Universe

August 22, 2008 by Dave

Before GenCon 2008, we were contacted to check out the Entropia Universe booth during the show. There, we met with John Bates of Mindark, who explained to us all about Entropia Universe, the online game/virtual world. Bartoneus and I went into the interview knowing almost nothing about it, but we both agreed afterward that it’s […]

Some Pleasant Overlap

July 30, 2008 by Dave

I’ve noticed lately that there seem to be two groups of people who really enjoy 4e, and who are coming back to it after years of not playing D&D: WoW Players Eurogamers Now, I think I’ve shied away from pointing this out because early on, these were used as derogatory statements against 4e.

July 23, 2008 by Dave

The developer claims that this will give them more time to actually produce a quality game, unlike the vast majority of movie cash-in tie-in games. The games will follow the adventures of Nite Owl and Rorschach, I’m […]

Tidbits from E3 that I have liked

July 16, 2008 by Dave

Since, for some reason, our tickets to E3 never arrived, I’ve been following the news through a few of the big video game blogs, and picking some things out that interest me: Xbox 360 will be able to stream Netflix movies if you have a subscription. I’ve never gotten the streaming video to work on […]

YouTubes of the Week Versus the Zombies Edition

July 15, 2008 by Dave

Two videos featuring some unlikely zombie killers. The first, the trailer for the movie Chanbara Beauty, sent to me by the Chatty DM who claims to have seen the movie and still has his eyes intact. The second, a music video featuring Gorbachev as Conan fighting zombies, which was first featured by Amber Night.

Gaming Now on the iPhone

July 10, 2008 by Bartoneus

It’s a good thing I was randomly floating around a few sites on the internet today, otherwise I might have easily missed the launch of Apple’s oh so appropriately named (haha!) App Store for the iPhone which allows you to download games for the glorious piece of sexy technology.  I bought one back in september […]
