I’ve wanted a new Road Rash for a long, long time now. I’ve finally gotten as close as I’m likely to ever get with Road Redemption. It just hit Steam under early access, and I gave it a spin for some initial impressions.

I have played a week’s worth of Destiny. I am not master of all things Guardian, but I think I get the gist of it. I enjoy the act of playing Destiny, let’s establish that right up front. If I sit down and fire up the PS4, I’m not upset if an hour or two […]

Started into Destiny last night. Mostly retreading ground I’d already seen in the alpha/beta tests. On the paper, Destiny almost seems like a game that shouldn’t hold my attention. And yet I found myself saying “one more mission”, or “let me just see what’s down this tunnel” quite a few times. While the guns aren’t […]

I thought that this article was an interesting reminder that the internet does not simply run on magic and porn, and puts the energy required to do something like download a game into some context. If you’re not interested in reading the study itself, which as expected is chock full of graphs and numbers and […]

I quit Wildstar a couple of months ago, despite really loving the game. I had a blast questing, PVPing, and crafting my way to level 50. Once I got there, though, it was time to start the attunement process for raiding. I’m no stranger to attunements, and a lot of MMOs have done them over […]

Apparently it’s a pretty common issue…

I’m generally on board with DLC. I know a lot of gamers like to villify the practice, cling to the notion that DLC is content they were entitled to get with their initial purchase, but whatever. If a game interests me, I’ll buy it. If it’s good, if I enjoyed playing it, I’m going to […]

So that wrap up ‘Best Served Cold.’ This one got away from me a little bit. I started the story with a two-week outline. About a week in, I got the idea for the new ending (Groff’s father being the reanimated guardian of the phylactery), and I felt it was a far more interesting. Plus, […]

If someone had told 2009 me that eventually I’d be getting not just one, but two spiritual sequels to Demon’s Souls, the little masochistic part of me that loves that game would have exploded. I am grateful, however, that Bloodborne’s aesthetic heads in at least a slightly different direction. Dark, wet, gritty, creepy and Victorian […]

My current website design is getting a little long in the tooth. I’d like to change things up, simplify a bit. I’m currently interviewing designers for the job, and thought I’d see if there were any readers who felt up to throwing their hat in the ring. This job is for Site Design only, backend […]

So this is the game that Bioware has been spamming my inbox about with teasers. Huh. I guess it looks neat… I’m always willing to give co-op games a chance, and I appreciate that it’s got a little something different going on with its setting. The trailer didn’t do it for me, but the gameplay […]

The folks over at SUMO sent me a copy of their newest chair to review. I was a little reluctant at first… the last thing my house needs is more SUMOs at this point. But when it arrived, I was pleasantly surprised. Behold, the Omni Reloaded. This is the first SUMO chair I’ve tested in […]

I’ve finally gotten around to formatting the remaining colored pages. They’ve been sitting in a folder for ages. I’m working on getting the pages uploaded to the website, but if you’d prefer a higher-res copy packaged up into a PDF for convenience, you can grab that over here for $0.99.

Thor is soon to be a woman, and a black man will carry the Captain America shield. Comics are definitely in need of a little more diversity, so I think this is a fantastic concept… but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. I don’t mean from the comics side of things… Falcon has […]

We are off to ConnectiCon in Hartford CT this weekend. I’ll be there Friday and Saturday. I know I have a panel tomorrow morning. Be sure to come ask me questions, we’ll chat about comics and games and whatnot. I may be on some other panels later in the weekend, but I’m not sure what […]

Should you be playing Divinity: Original Sin? Hell yeah you should. I love turn-based tactics games. I love good sandbox RPGs. I love co-op. Divinity: Original Sin has all of these things. It’s a CRPG of the breed I grew up with. It is Baldur’s Gate for today. With co-op. I’m strictly playing it with […]

Wildstar has a nice costume system that lets you show the gear you want, and use separate gear for stats. So I’m holding a little fashion contest for my Wildstar guild. The winning member will receive one C.R.E.D.D. (a month of playtime). So help me out by voting for your favorite costume below! 1. 2. […]

I’ll be at ConnectiCon in Hartford CT this coming Friday and Saturday. I’ll likely have a table somewhere in the Online Media section you can find me at, and I’m sure I’ll be doing a panel or two at some point over the course of the weekend. If you’re in the area, it’s a great […]

I’ve played Warmachine on and off now for… geeze, six or seven years? I have a lot of money tied up in little metal men, and even more hours than I’d care to count in painting them. It’s safe to say it’s a game I really enjoy. I was a little skeptical when the Warmachine […]

I really enjoy Wildstar… I haven’t been into an MMO like this since WoW. I could go on and on about everything it does well, but it isn’t without its flaws. I both love and hate the Veteran system at endgame. The concept, going above and beyond to execute objectives flawlessly and being rewarded for […]

Patrons got this exclusive wallpaper this month!

I don’t even know how to hype Spintires. It’s a fun game, but trying to explain it to anyone… “It’s an offroad sim… you drive Russian trucks through the Russian countryside… there’s lots of mud… sometimes you haul logs. It’s awesome.” By the strict description of the game, and hell, even trailers, it defies logic […]

I’m not really that big into shooters, especially on consoles. I enjoy them well enough, but I wouldn’t place them in my top three favorite genres. So when Destiny was announced, I was certainly intrigued, but at the same time, pretty skeptical. I pre-ordered the game mostly because it felt like it was going to […]

I haven’t touched League since last fall. Towards the end I had forsaken 5’s as too sour, toxic and dull an experience, and was strictly playing ARAM on Murder Bridge. And even that became serious business to people and lost it’s fun value. Eventually I stopped watching the tournaments, and that was it for me […]
