    The State of Play

    Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

    When I got the 360 for my birthday, I upped my rental queue to 3 games at a time. The logic was that I’d have one game for each platform (DS, Wii, 360) at any given time. Of course, it hasn’t worked out that way and I currently have three titles for the 360. I [...]

    Round Table: December ‘07 - UPDATE 12/31

    Monday, December 31st, 2007

    Here we are at the end of the year already! In the past I’ve given the December Round Tables a holiday theme, but this year I think there’s a slightly more important topic we ought to take a look at. Several events over the last few months have informed this choice of topics and I [...]

    What Goes on Four Legs in the Morning?

    Friday, November 16th, 2007

    I was on the road to Thebes when this winged cat woman came up to me. “Answer my riddle or I’ll devour you,” she said.
    Hm. That wouldn’t do. I like to get my kink on as much as the next guy, but I draw the line at furries. At least, in public I do. “And [...]

    Two More Days of Free RPGs

    Thursday, November 15th, 2007

    I’ve been remiss in getting this posted, but you’ve still got two more days to download free table top RPG manuals and such from Drive Thru RPG. I’ve already downloaded about 12 different manuals as a part of their Thanksgiveaway promotion and I’ve earmarked some promising games for Thursday and Friday as well. Just so [...]

    The End is Here

    Friday, November 9th, 2007

    I declared that certain conditions must be met before I’d type the following product name into my blog.
    Today, I got an early birthday present and that condition has been met.
    Xbox 360
    Hell yeah! Prepare to stomp me online, bee-otches! I’ll be adding the tags of you that I know about this weekend. Feel free to share [...]

    This time it’s Fright Night…. for Real!

    Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

    Jay asks about our spookiest gaming moments and provides several of his own. I thought I’d chime in with mine while I wait for the coffee to brew this morning.
    System Shock The soundtrack. SHODAN. The isolation. So many things about System Shock worked to unnerve me and I loved it. From trying to figure out [...]

    Layers of Narrative

    Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

    Aronofsky’s dreamy film, The Fountain is comprised of three distinct, albeit intertwined, layers of narrative. There’s the modern story of a cancer researcher driven by his desire to save his wife, the story of a Spanish knight seeking the freedom of his queen and a mystic space farer seeking eternity as he is drawn to [...]

    Too Good to NOT Be True

    Friday, October 19th, 2007

    Well, it appears to be completely official now–Okami will be coming to the Wii in the spring of 2008! I rented Okami for the PS2 and really enjoyed it. I returned it with the intent to buy it and complete it at some point… one thing led to another… I got the Wii… and by [...]

    Forged From the Steel Flesh of the Fire Beast

    Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

    *eltrohc* Not for… a roadie.
    Another reason to buy a Wanx 360!
