I just felt like making a post to say that I have absolutely no idea what the proper response to the economic crisis is. My personal ideology is pushing me away from a bailout, but the supposed reality is pushing me towards it. Perhaps I’m just the victim of successful media scaremongering. In which case, [...]

Interesting article here about the correlation between (civic) gaming and civic and political life. This is certainly true of myself.

So a couple of weeks ago me and the special lady friend broke out Arkham Horror to give it a go, and I was sad to realize that at some point between the last time I played it, I completely lost all of the allies cards. I still have no idea how that is possible, [...]

This was not an easy decision to make. You may remember that I purchased the Creature Creator a few months ago and spent the time to make well over thirty creatures. I also predicted that it would be one of those games that could be played by people who were not into video games. People, [...]

PAX – Day Three

Short but sweet, started the day off with a “panel” discussion with uber-nerd Wil Wheaton, who seems to have taken on the real life role of his character from Stand By Me. Been a big fan of Wil’s for a while, but this was the first time I had a chance to see him speak. [...]
