When I was a kid, up through about my late teens, I played an awful lot of pencil & paper RPGs. It started with Dungeons & Dragons, of course. A friend had the Basic Set – the “red box” that … Continue reading

Sidekick: The Game
Back in August of 2009, out of a vague sense of obligation, I played through the first Jax & Daxter game. My conclusion at the time was that it was, if not particularly overwhelming, at least OK. I thought it … Continue reading

Nope, didn’t end well.
So, at the very end, Halo: Reach delivers exactly what it promised in the opening cinematic: Your broken helmet lying on the ground and your character dead. The trick that Bungie needed to pull off, then, was to make a … Continue reading

Shambling Mound, Shedu, Shrieker… Siren.
Let’s try to make this a little more work-safe, shall we? Oh, dear, that’s really not much better. Let’s just get on with things. I quite liked “Man, Woman, and the Wall” when I watched it a couple of weeks … Continue reading

Seriously, there’s a site for that?
Funny thing happened while my wife and I were watching Red the other night. The movie has an awful lot of Gun Porn in it. All the characters have their Signature Guns, there are lots of close-ups and Improbable Action … Continue reading

Not the best midterm prep.
I have two midterms this week, so naturally it seemed like a great idea to sit down and watch movies most of the weekend. I really have the Six-Weeks-And-Out syndrome thing going on. On the other hand, it meant that … Continue reading
