Before I get to the usual hobby game portion of my post, I’d like to bring your attention, yet again, to how awesome Team Fortress 2 (and by extension Valve) is:
Last week the engineer update dropped (check out the link, it’s worth it), thereby completing the updates to all of the classes. As usual, players [...]

*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 [...]

Okay, it’s a tad early, but good god, the Rock Band franchise just pulled me back in! We have achieved maximum keytaur here, people! This little preview has made me realize a few things:
My old as dirt instruments from RB1 will need to be replaced with what I’m guessing is a deluxe version of RB3.

Who knew that having 4 teeth removed from your face could be a detriment to one’s lifestyle? Going on three weeks from the procedure I’m still having some discomfort in the morning and evenings. I think it’s going away, but who knows how well it’ll take.
So, painting (until the last couple of nights) has taken [...]

Two years ago on this very blog I wrote a post about Mass Effect. Specifically, I focused on how the game hid most RPG mechanics elements behind a simplified interface. It seemed a good balance between storytelling and gameplay. I thought at the time that this was as far as it could go. I was [...]

Don’t panic! Dread Cthulhu is not about to breach the surface of the sea, stalk the world of man and consume the faithful and the ignorant alike. No, the stars have simply aligned and fortune has smiled upon this humble nerd. Yes, there are some fiscal expenditures involved, but overall it’s nothing but good news:

Not only am I entering my 40th year, I’m also entering my third year as a miniatures gamer. And boy, does 2010 look promising (and expensive) in that regard.
The year begins with a new Warmahordes league at my beloved Dueling Grounds on January 7. Sadly, I’ll be a little late to the party due to [...]

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?

Well, to me at least.
Still feeling kinda craptastic, but things in virtual leisure world got better yesterday. Two surprising developments lifted the pall from my soul… or something.
GTA IV was released on April 28, 2008. I finally finished it yesterday. That final mission was a bitch; I had to put the game down for a [...]
