Tonight I have done (or at least begun doing) something I've been putting off for way too long, and started getting quotes back up on my new webspace! I don't have all of them there yet (I decided to quit before I got to the smaller/older/less awesome pages...I'll try to get back at it soon though), but most of the classics should be present. If ( Read more... )

I was able to settle in for a little more Mass Effect last night. (For those of you who have not been on my journal during one of my "beating this game, brb" kicks, I will post a lot about this for like 5 weeks and then you will never hear about it again. So if it sucks just ignore it til I'm done.) After my initial encounter with the galaxy map ( Read more... )

While spending ridiculous amounts of time on hold at work lately I have been reading through quotes and plot summaries from really old games, like beginning of college old. Through this process I have realized several things ( Read more... )

Last weekend freeimprov, barthir, Faron, and I saw Quantum of Solace. It was good, but pretty incomprehensible to me since I hadn't seen Casino Royale yet, despite getting a spoileriffic summary from freeimprov the night before.

Last night, we played Mage for the first time in several months. Before the night was over, eustacio, Noel, and I successfully launched a 1974 Pontiac Trans Am into low-earth orbit. It was hilarious and fun and in general a reminder of exactly why I do this playing in RPGs thing anyway ( Read more... )

Today I have a new article up at Gamegrene reflecting on my experiences with Hunter: Keeping The Vigil. This one came out kind of rambly, but oh well. I hope to have a review of Hunter: The Vigil up there in a couple of weeks, so that may be of some interest to a few of you ( Read more... )

My latest article at Gamegrene was literally just published: A Tale of Two Characters. More reflections on representations of the genders within games, with a side order of talk about that Mage game you are probably all still sick of hearing about. Enjoy ( Read more... )

I can't help but find it just a little funny that during this season of Battlestar Galactica, an opera house figures prominently.

I suspect I may have just made someone's night, because quotes are updated for the first time in several months. It's a big one, with updates to Firefly and Buffalo's Unfortunate, the conclusion of Hunter and a new "best of" file, and a few quotes from our new D&D campaign. Here's what's in store ( Read more... )
