20 Years of Lust

August 9, 2006 by Bartoneus

I will apologize now for the lack of a Random Encounter this week, I’ve been holed up house-sitting for the in-laws since before the weekend. Have no fear, they will be back in a week (or less)! Yet another of Nintendo’s excellent properties has celebrated an anniversary recently, this time it’s Metroid with 20 years […]

The media seemed to accept this as ‘Veritas Lux Mea’ and that this was the final proof needed to complete another […]

They'll Never Understand

July 25, 2006 by Bartoneus

Nearly word-for-word, this is exactly how it happened. To this day I am uncertain as to what I heard in my friend’s voice that day, but I believe it was along the lines of unbridled terror. A primal fear that these feminine robots might actually have been sent back in time to end his life, […]

Bioware releases NWN Killer App

June 14, 2006 by Dave

Bioware has just released a new add-on to the Neverwinter Nights computer game adaptation of D&D. It’s called Infinite Dungeons, and it’s what every single D&D style game should offer: instant, random dungeon crawls. I haven’t played it yet- it requires both expansions, and I only own the original game, but I certainly plan on […]
