This week’s inquisition is more of a follow-up to our Third Gift Guide that focused on Games. There are just too many games out these days, whether they’re videogames, boardgames, or tabletop RPGs, we here at Critical Hits can’t possibly play them all and much less know which ones out of each category are going […]
Houston…
Wii Have a Problem! Check it out, a rather excellent site chronicling incidents involving the Wii’s controller and abused televisions the world over! This one particular image is fantastic, as once you’ve thrown your Wii controller smack through your TV, nothing better to do then draw it on an etch-a-sketch! I sincerely hope it’s real, […]
Even the Diligent can be Consumed
There is a great monster in my life now, a gnawing, gnashing, biting, consuming beast that thrashes its way into every day of life. It can barely be satiated, and only with the expenditure of great resources may it be contained. You might think you have obligations, or free time, or even a bit of […]
For a Great Cause (and Great Justice!)
I hope that the Thanksgiving break was marvelous for all, and that everyone’s holidays are splendid and joyfilled. What I wanted to share today was that I was very touched by Gabe’s (from Penny Arcade) post today about their charity Child’s Play. Please take a moment to check out the site, it is a charity […]
Inq. of the Week: Children-style
If you’ve watched any normal network tv channels lately, with the impending holiday season and the recent new console launches, you have also no doubt seen at least one commercial for what I call “videogame knockoffs for kids”. They’re even given elementary names, like the Leapster and the V-Smile, they’re made of brightly colored plastics […]

Talking Boars! (EXTRALIFE)
This weekend we are featuring what I consider to be the most creative AND consistently funny webcomics around, EXTRALIFE by Scott Johnson. The one in particular shown above is and excellent take on how things really work in the game World of Warcraft, and what boars really talk about in their spare time (between random […]
Around the Survivors a Perimeter Create!
While preparing for last week’s comic, I went to an obvious source for cartoon-yoda images, which was of course the fantastic Clone Wars cartoons. Pictured to the right is a quick drawing I did from one of the images, just to get a feel for the style and see what I could learn from it. […]
Inq. of the Week: Girl Gamers
Getting right to the question this week: Should Girl Gamers really be treated so differently? Via Game|Life I saw this Gamestop display that seemed to really get their tights in a knot, and I began to wonder, how bad of an idea is this really? Certainly placing it right at the door to the store […]
Lost Tales from the Dagobah System
I’ll begin this with an apology, I’ve had Star Wars stuck on the mind the last few days. The worst part is that it stems from an incomprehensible desire to watch Revenge of the Sith again. I really only ever saw it all the way through once, the first time in theaters, when a ooze […]
