Apologies that the posts haven’t been coming lately.  I hope you can understand.  I’ve been playing Fallout3.  A lot.  Like, every possible moment I can.  It is, in a way, the ultimate culmination of some of my gaming favorites.  It’s quite possibly the peanut butter/chocolate combination of my American RPG favorites, so hopefully this will [...]

I’ve been trying to incorporate some dice rolling into a card game I’m trying to build in my spare time for fun (ha ha ha I’m crunching what spare time), and while the game itself is taking too long (this is a CCG, after all), I’m finding the die roll the most controversial part of [...]

I doubt it’s going to come to it tonight, but folks love to debate about how we should just switch to a more easy to understand popular vote when it comes to electing our POTUS every four years, especially when there have been a time or two when one candidate won the popular vote, and [...]

Okay, I had no idea these things have been on the market since at least August of this year, but holy jeebs if I had known about them I would have gone as Sam Fisher for halloween.  An adult even modelled them on the news toy segment I was watching and they are as close as [...]

Awhile back someone made a paintover (embedded above) of what they thought Faith should look like in Mirror’s Edge, that parkouring game that EA’s releasing later this month.  The demo just dropped on PS3 if you’re interested; I think the 360 one drops tomorrow (actually today I guess, it is past midnight here).  There’s been a bunch [...]

It appears, for the most part, that GH:WT is for the “gamer” who [...]

I’m not normally one to discuss politics, especially my personal politics, amongst polite company.  Politics in general have become so partisan, polar, and fueled with pointless hateful rhetoric that I wonder if I’m not actually watching some kind of sporting event between bitter long term rivals, rather than people who feel like they should be [...]

Way back when Rock Band (the first) came out, I saw that someone made some kickass G.I. Joe band-mates, and figured that I’d try and have some fun with the Create-A-Player myself.  After forcing myself to find inspiration (it hardly ever works), I kicked around the idea of making the ultimate band.  One so epic [...]

I’m currently crunching at work right now, and my brain, it…it has no creativity left in it.  I suppose there’s an entire entry there, how a lack of personal time actually keeps inspiration at an extremely low level, but I’m too tired to write even that.  I’ve been pouring everything I’ve got into some crazy [...]

I should really be writing one of the two main design pieces I’ve been meaning to post about for the past two weeks.  I should also be playing Mercenaries 2 which I brought home from the work/team library to play a bit to see how they’re handling user chosen missions, and just in general enjoying [...]
