    So i'm Kickstarting a book!

    An RPG book, to be exact, or at least, a splat book for alien races for a Sci-Fi setting called Myriad Song. Today the kickstarter has gone live, and I am doing my best to drum up promotion for it with the help of a friend of mine and his tabletop company, Sanguine Games. I basically pitched...

    Ralph Baer has died

    92 years old, pretty much the inventor of the first video game console, the Magnavox Odyssey. He also invented Simon, and had over 150 patents. This is a sad day, if you ask me. http://www.cnet.com/news/ralph-baer-father-of-home-video-game-console-dies-at-92/

    Games You Never Heard Of, But Should Play

    I decided to go back into writing by actually starting a blog. Yeah it's on tumblr, but its at least somewhere I can link to now. The idea so far is games people may not have heard of, but should definitely play. Most of the games I will be listing I actually have played via emulator or I own...

    Boardgaming for Charity

    Hey guys. The past couple of months I have been frequenting this hobby store near where I live, met some new people and played a ton of new board games that I enjoyed immensely. The place has a group that runs a podcast, titled Board Gamers Anonymous, and they are participating in a...

    The f*** is up with all the hate?

    It's really bringing me down, how cynical and jaded most of the fanbase is lately. Every other week its a rallying cry of "fuck this company" or "fuck that game". What the hell happened to us? Are we so old and punchy now that were just like an ourboros eating its own tail in a hobby we like...

    Post Count Reset

    I just noticed it this morning I lost my huge ass post count. Not that it matters too much, but does that happen after you get to a certain number or something? It may be a glitch that may need to be fixed.

    Dishonored [OT]

    So...what does everyone think. I must be honest, so far I am fairly impressed, but I have a few issues with the game as it stands, mainly the fact that the powers are fairly broken. The blink ability is so damn necessary in this game it kind of breaks up any semblance of stealth, or balance...

    Quirky Documentaries

    Watching this lovely documentary right now on why Paul McCartney has been dead since 1966. Conspiracy theory galore in this one to try and show why McCartney has been dead for years. Got to love random shit like that.

    The VGA Awards: A Junkies Fix

    I doubt these words will matter much in the small time-frame after the ending of the glitz and glamour the Spike VGA awards provides. The saccharine sweet ceremony is the triumph of what the gaming colossus has become; the vindication of being mainstream by making things mainstream, no matter...

    Its time to get things started...

    Just saw the muppet movie. I am pleased, they did a real good job in recapturing the old magic a bit and did the job of making a very heartful and humerous movie. I say go see it. Damn good movie and we shouldn't let twilight be number one again...

    So I Lost My Job...

    and I am no longer teaching sadly. For the past few days I have been hitting the pavement and applying to tons of jobs, with no success at all so far. No call-backs, some places even saying I am not qualified for the position I went for (like Toys R. Us...which made me giggle) So yeah...who...
