Inq. of the Week: Dungeon Crawls?

August 4, 2008 by Bartoneus

I’d begun to notice a distinct lack of D&D posts here lately, which was partially orchestrated and partially just because a lot of other news and thoughts came up here, so last week I ventured to ask who would win in a super big monster brawl.  It looks like we have a tie!!! The one […]

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 […]

July 23, 2008 by Bartoneus

Must…stop…hyperventilating!  They’re coming out with Megaman 9, and some holiest of holies has inspired them to make it a retro game!  Sweet mother of Christmas!  It looks like it will be available for download for the Wii, 360, and PS3 for whatever amount of money equates to 1000 wii points.  You should totally go read […]

Watchmen Trailer

July 17, 2008 by Bartoneus

If you haven’t heard yet, the Watchmen trailer is out!  I believe it’s showing before The Dark Knight, in which case I’ll be very excited to see it on the big screen at midnight tonight.  But do you really think you’d have to wait until then to see it, of course not!  You can check it out […]

Inq. of the Week: Why So Serious?

July 14, 2008 by Bartoneus

This Friday is the day many of us have been waiting for since we saw the last 10 minutes of Batman Begins, back in 2005.  At that point it had been exactly 10 years since any real effort was put towards bringing the caped crusader to the big screen, and even those results were questionable.  […]

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 […]
