The Earth: Saved. The fate of the brave XCOM soldier whose designation was “Whiskey,” a single mother of three children who had served with the taskforce for several months: Unknown. What -is- known is that she sacrificed her livelihood, and possibly her life, to ensure a brighter future for her children, her family, and all […]
The last week or so, I’ve been splitting my time between my usual work and convalescing from having four of my teeth cut out of my head. With, you know, knives and drills and such. Seriously, it was some shit. I haven’t been put under for any sort of medical deal since I was 8, […]
I’m going to start by sharing something that I’ve learned about myself in the last twelve months: constantly having new games to play drastically affects the time I devote to writing about them. Who knew? That sounds sarcastic but is actually pretty genuine, at least in the sense that I never knew. The family computer […]
I just had a dream. This dream, which followed on the heels of a dream where Adam Sandler made a very tasteless joke about midgets ladling love-juice on the hair of sleeping female employees at a strip club (the dream included no actual stripping). In the dream, Paul Blackthorne was playing Harry Dresden, which he […]
Shits is about to be on. Tomorrow night I jump into running my first tabletop campaign in…this is insane…almost a dozen years. I’m not comfortable with the idea of having done anything for a dozen years…let alone NOT done something in that timespan. So we’re descending into ‘Ware the Moloch tomorrow/day. I do love this […]
I made a Wiki. I’m working up another focused on the Tinderbox campaign. My sudden resurgence in Obsidian Portal related activity is tied into the potential for an actual, honest-to-pants, tabletop gaming group. I also created a googledoc analyzing 4e’s available classes, which I might import to here at some point. I tried to go […]
I imagine anyone who’d stumble on this post has an idea why I wouldn’t have, why I would have prevaricated and debated. The shit which went down at a midnight show of the third Nolan Batman flick happened about 2 hours from my house, and while that’s hardly close enough to catch a stray bullet, […]
So I’m just now watching War of the Titans. I wasn’t willing to watch it in theaters because the previous film, despite excellent scorpions, was pretty shit. This film is much the same. But watching the scene where they do battle with a Cyclops, which seems ridiculous to me, I began to consider something fascinating. […]
Tim stared around the room in utter bafflement, sliding his fingernails over slick palms. He’d been to a firing range, once, researching shooting for his third book. He’d squeezed off a few shots, though he found himself pulling the trigger incorrectly and throwing off his aim. The handgun bucked in his grip, his arms throbbed […]
1 MP. Become a Velociraptor. I’m not sure that I need much more from a game, let alone a game which marks the resurrection of a beloved series thought dead. Part of what I find so impressive about the game is the nostalgia, of course. An…event…occurs at one point, one which drives the spike of […]
