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 […]

X Marks the Spot

March 12, 2008 by Bartoneus

My wife and I went out to a bar in downtown Baltimore on Saturday night, with all of the typical inner city driving escapades that we love so much.  What we didn’t expect, however, was what happened as we walked to our car.  We decided to walk up a car-only entrance ramp as it appeared […]

Watchmen Characters Revealed

March 6, 2008 by Bartoneus

Today is exactly one year until the movie Watchmen is released, and now they’ve released a group of images of what many of the main characters look like.  Head over to the Watchmen site to see all of the glorious full-size shots.

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% […]

D&D XP Dungeon Delve Characters

February 28, 2008 by Bartoneus

This afternoon Dave and I got to play in the 4th Edition Dungeon Delve, which is a group of about 10 tables set up with various dungeons pre-set that the RPGA staff (and some occasional Wizards employees) were kind enough to run. It was meant to be just hack & slash, get through the monsters […]

Of Martians and JJ Abrams

February 20, 2008 by Bartoneus

One day, a week or two ago, I came across this story about images sent back from the Mars Spirit Rover.  What you see to the right is a small version of a panorama taken at a crater on Mars from this mission, and you can see a super high quality version at Nasa’s site […]
