We're Back!

March 8, 2007 by Bartoneus

Welcome everyone!  We greatly apologise for being down from approximately 6pm yesterday until around 2:30pm today, but rest assured we’re back up and running perfectly fine now!  If you notice anything isn’t working how it should be or something’s missing, please let us know here.   I’ll leave the explaining of the story and exactly what […]

FFXII : When Elementals Attack

February 28, 2007 by Bartoneus

The most delightful thing about Final Fantasy XII is that, when it rains, there are these big ball of energy elementals who wander around various areas of the game.  Their primary purpose is to look at first glance like an average level friendly mob, but upon hearing one of your characters have a wet-dream about […]

Don't Hate the Makers, Hate the Game

February 28, 2007 by Bartoneus

Since Burning Crusade launced in January, I’ve read a lot about World of Warcraft despite not actually playing it anymore. One of the most apparent things I’ve seen is that there are even more complaints about class balance now then there were before the expansion released. It seems like Blizzard is really toying with spells, […]

Inq. of the Week: McKellen vs. McKellen

February 26, 2007 by Bartoneus

Last week’s Inquisition asked what your favorite Gaming-related tv show/episode or movie was, and it looks like the majority voted for the excellent episode of Dexter’s Laboratory titled D&DD.  Good choice! This week we are asking perhaps the most important question ever asked in the history of the universe: {democracy:8}  This is probably the greatest showdown […]

JLA the movie

February 22, 2007 by Bartoneus

You all know by now that I just can’t pass up relaying comic book movie news. Found at Angry Zen Master, news that Warner Bros. has decided to hire writers for a Justice League movie and I assume DC comics will have a big part in it too. This echoes rumors recently of both Brandon […]

My Ears are Bleeding (literally)

February 21, 2007 by Bartoneus

Back at the dawn of February there was some discussion of comicbook movie adaptations, and not surprisingly he-who-should-not-be-named was…well, named.  The dark one, the spawn of satanic movie-making, Joel Schumacher.  I will refrain from repeating his name any further, as on the third time I’ve heard he springs forth from your VCR and suffocates you […]

Nintendo to the Rescue

February 17, 2007 by Bartoneus

Just incase you don’t troll around digg or reddit, I wanted to share this excellent story of how Nintendo really is one of the best companies in the world. The woman titled her post “Customer service gone shockingly right“, and that is exactly what happened. She had noticed that the optical drive on her Wii […]

Let's Talk About Lost

February 15, 2007 by Bartoneus

The eighth episode of Lost‘s third season aired last night, and a lot of people are back into the full swing of the show and enjoying every minute of it. One of the best sites to visit every Thursday morning about the show is the Washington Post’s very own Celebritology column, and they are particularly […]

Inq. of the Week: Solid Snake Casting Call

February 12, 2007 by Bartoneus

Last week’s poll has come to a close, and disappointingly about a third of you don’t watch Battlestar Galactica so you couldn’t really participate, but I say to you all: Watch the show! I was like you up until January of this year, holding out and not watching for whatever reason. Then the season 1 […]

World of Warcraft Action Figures

February 8, 2007 by Bartoneus

DC Comics is branching out their action figure department, which as they announced recently will include World of Warcraft action figures.  Thank god, is all I can say, as now when you’re simply forced to go on that family vacation to the middle of no-where with absolutely not contact to the internet, you can continue […]
