The whole Morrow / Thamar divide is one of the few things I remember about the history and lore of the Iron Kingdoms. This past month I painted up their miniature equivalents in a strange, albeit temporary, bout of unity. Versh and Alexia will never be seen on the same table again, so I hope [...]

Behold the first models to be produced from my dedicated painting desk: a Dire Troll Mauler and Madrak.

While it has nothing to do with meaty fists, I picked up CoD: Black Ops (BLOPS!) after a particularly crappy week in which I really needed to shoot (internet) people in the (internet)face. So long removed [...]

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.
I [...]

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:
Mini [...]

The Golden Globes? Pathetic. The VGAs? Meritless. Mighty Marvel No-prizes? They’re okay, but not as good as…

‘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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
