Movies I Want to See in 2011

December 16, 2010 by Bartoneus

Something you may not know about me if you come to Critical Hits mainly for the RPG content is that I’m a huge movie nerd. In April of this year I posted a look ahead at the big summer movies of 2010 that I was hoping to see, just as I have done for the last four years running.

Inq. of the Week: 2007 vs. 2008

December 23, 2007 by Dave

Last week, we asked if the winter months = more gaming. While most of you don’t change your gaming habits, there were plenty of you who said you game all the much more when there’s snow on the ground, whether it be from more time at home or just the lack of schoolwork. I myself […]

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 […]
