The Stars are Right!

January 12, 2010

the-stars-are-right

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:

Awards Season

December 22, 2008

awards-season

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 [...]

Keeping Occupied

December 18, 2008

keeping-occupied

‘Tis the season to be busy.  Gift shopping, social engagements and familial responsibilities all put a damper on gaming opportunities.  This weekend, the drought will lift a bit and we’ll be able to continue our oh-so-slow D&D campaign.  Meanwhile, two things compete for my available time: Fallout 3 and figure painting.
I don’t want to think [...]

Wasteland, 20 Years Later

October 29, 2008

wasteland-20-years-later

As a youngster, I was a computer, not video, gamer.  While my family wouldn’t dream of having a console in house back in the 80s (”It’ll burn out the TV tube!”), a computer for their aspiring nerd-progeny was A-OK.  The Commodore 64 was, pound for pound, the best game machine on the market.  One of [...]

Mixing it Up

October 6, 2008

mixing-it-up

Yesterday was educational. I pitted my newest Warmachine army build up once against The Legion of Everblight (ugh) and twice against Cryx (finally!). The less said about the former the better (Shredders are fucking gross and I underestimated them greatly), but the latter games were very interesting.
We decided that our first match would [...]

Reasons for “Living”: You know what a love-letter is?

July 11, 2008

reasons-for-living-you-know-what-a-love-letter-is

My favourite Frank Booth line may refer to “a bullet from a fucking gun”, but to me, a true love letter is the kind of thing that my favourite game developer is delivering to appreciative fans this September. Read on and all shall be revealed:

Harmonix has done what sadly too few video game developers do [...]

Blame Niko

May 23, 2008

blame-niko

The fact that I haven’t posted in a while falls squarely on the shoulders of Niko Bellic. I have been spending most of my geek-time hanging around in Liberty City, following Niko’s descent through the underworld of that New York-esque city. It hasn’t completely taken over my life yet, but its coming a [...]

Woe is me

May 13, 2008

woe-is-me

Oh woe.  I am just a poor gamer trying to participate in some wholesome online shenanigans over Xbox live.  Alas, I cannot connect.  For the last 3 days, I have received an error that the IP connect failed. 
Well, I’ve been blaming Bell Sympatico for this.  I figured that this was being caused by Sympatico’s [...]
