Inq. of the Week: Monster Brawl

July 28, 2008 by Bartoneus

The Dark Knight dominated its second weekend, but who is surprised by that with competition like the way late X-Files movie sequel and Will Ferrell’s latest movie Step Brothers?  It raked in $75 million on its second weekend, which is very impressive and left the second place movie way behind at $30 million.  Last week […]

Inq. of the Week: Which Edition?

June 9, 2008 by Bartoneus

Just over a week ago Dave wrapped up his 18 Adventure long, and final, D&D 3.5 Campaign with a definitively epic finale.  This inspired him to ask you all how many campaigns you’ve been in that have seen completion, to which a huge 30% of you voted that you’ve never had a campaign finish, or been […]

Inq of the Week: Wii Wheel Rock You?

May 26, 2008 by Bartoneus

Oh, the pun hurts. Last week Dave asked everyone what their primary influences are in the Fantasy genre, and I’d say it’s no surprise at all that Tolkien Middle Earth and Lewis’ Narnia were the most common influence(77%). Next most influential were 70’s-90’s film, including Princess Bride, Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, and Willow with 44%, then […]

Inq. of the Week: Who’s your Dragon?

March 31, 2008 by Bartoneus

Inspired by our recent X-Box LANfest, Dave asked everyone what they would do in the event of a Zombie Attack / infestation / outbreak / brunch.  Mmmm, Zombie-brunch.  45% of you said you would gladly grab a weapon and start killing – everyone you ever knew, loved, or cared about – because really they’re trying […]

Inq. of the Mid-Week: The Golden Age

March 19, 2008 by Bartoneus

Woops!  Apparently Monday came and went while I was lost somewhere within the house, and so I bring you a mid-week Inquisition.  The 3 people that voted in last week’s poll since Monday, you’re welcome!  Last week’s involved Dave’s rampant reading of excellent webcomics and making terrible family-puns, where he asked which of the classic […]

Inq. of the Week: Systems Operational

March 3, 2008 by Bartoneus

Dave’s poll from last week asked what size of dice you prefer, the d20 came in at a huge 29% with the rare and exotic d12 in a surprising second with 27%. The entire spread is actually in descending order with the d10 at 18%, d8 at 12%, d6 at 5%, and d4 at 5% […]

Inq. of the Week: 'Tis the Season

December 17, 2007 by Bartoneus

In Dave’s scandalous question from last week about everyone’s pirating habits we were not surprised to see that a lot of people do resort to downloading things online.  Interesting enough there was a spike in the results where people download content online illegally specifically when it is not available through any other means, illustrating what […]

Inq. of the Week: Musical Nerds

December 3, 2007 by Bartoneus

We’re hopefully back to some semblance of our normal schedule here at Critical Hits, between our hosting going wonky, me having indefinite bouts of sucking, and Dave going through the layers of hell known as Graduate School / End of the Semester we have really fallen behind here. Oh, and the fact that Rock Band […]

Inq. of the Week: You Review Transformers

October 22, 2007 by Bartoneus

With Dragons emerging bloodstained and well fed as the victors of our Ultimate Showdown, Dave decided to find out who you guys think is the most popular dragon.  Trogdor the Burninator came out on top, with a very well deserved second going to the gem-encrusted Smaug from The Hobbit.  There seemed to be some contention over Fin Fang […]
