*That would be the Geek 8. It would have been the Geek 20, but there simply isn’t enough going on.
My twice-repaired 360 has finally died for good. Not due to the Red Ring of Death, but it simply won’t turn on at all. Luckily, a co-worker had a barely used one for sale with a [...]

2009. The final year of the first decade of the 21st century. Mindboggling and somewhat disquieting. Where did the years go? Where’d all these grey hairs come from? And these children?
Regardless, 2009 was a banner year for nerdy old me. Lots to keep me occupied in the 1 or 2 hours per day (week?) that [...]

More like, what didn’t I do. Oh my, the things I did…
My usual two weeks off at the end of the summer were unusually productive; downright Millhousian in the way everything came up my way. Boring RL stuff aside, here’s what geeky stuff was accomplished:
Started things off on the Friday night prior with our [...]

The sun is high in the sky, the temperature is on the rise, and the geeks flee to the shelter of nice cool basements across the land. Ah, summer! Such a great season for nerdy activities.
The Dueling Grounds is back in business, and from what I saw last night on their opening day, [...]

This past Saturday our intrepid gaming group finished off Keep on the Shadowfell. For what was meant to be a training ground for 4E D&D, the module took us an entire year to complete. This is only, in part, due to people’s busy schedules. Primarily, it has to do with the design [...]

It’s June, and that means videogame releases. Good videogame releases to be exact. Since Operation Finish My Goddamned Games is yet again a failure, I’ll have to resign myself to the inevitable.
The Ghostbusters game comes out June 16th. This is, as we say, a “must-buy”. I’ve loved the franchise for 25 years (except for the [...]

The Golden Globes? Pathetic. The VGAs? Meritless. Mighty Marvel No-prizes? They’re okay, but not as good as…
The First Annual GG’s! (I think the Geekies was taken)
Please note that these are purely my opinion. They are also solely concerned with geek crap only. Let’s hope my esteemed co-blogger contributes his own “best of” list at some [...]

The stars were finally right on Saturday night: we managed to kick off the first session of our 4E DnD campaign. To ease ourselves into the new rules, and to shake off the cobwebs, I ran the first two encounters from Keep on the Shadowfell over the course of 2.5 hours. Even though [...]

I am entirely in love with and immensely proud of my kids, but each in their own way have been squaring my circle when it comes to my hobbies. Liam is on the verge of walking, so his added mobility and attraction to the buttons and cables of the ‘Siddy and Triple makes video gaming [...]

Today’s post title comes from the mouth of my darling daughter, Abigail. Over the weekend, she got to watch Ghostbusters for the first time, and for hours afterwards was saying the following:
And then the doggy came out of the door *SMASH* and looked at you like you was food; imma EAT you!
