Well, that's yet another holiday season down without any casualties.  All in all, we had a quiet and fairly relaxing time of things.  We managed to see a good number of friends (but still managed to miss Janice!!!) and have some fun ( Read more... )

Give this a watch.  It's what I did last night.

I played through a 3 player game of Vampire: Prince of the City this evening. We kept it to 6 turns to get a taste of how it works and because the rules warned that a 12 turn game can take as many as 4 hours ( Read more... )

I think I took away a few choice pieces of knowledge from this year's E3 coverage.  Things like "yes, everyone sounds gay when they say 'Wii'"; and "the execs at Sony do smoke opium all the time."  A few things really caught and held my attention though.  One of those things was Marvel: Ultimate Alliance.  This mega-multi-platform game from the ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning to discover that the whole world smelled of cooking hotdogs.  Disturbing to say the least ( Read more... )

The play-by-post game is coming along nicely.  Our replacement Martell player has turned out to be one of the most diligent and active members in the game.  And a turn 3 muster was exactly what the doctor ordered to really kick-start things and get them rolling.  Preliminary work is still underway for getting the 9 player fan-variant off the ground ( Read more... )

The AGoT play-by-post boards are coming along nicely.  I've got most of the things in place to start the game.  At this point, we're waiting on a very handy tool that will automate the process of colouring the various territories based on who currently controls them.  Such is the wizardry of Mole.  That one piece of software will likely save me ( Read more... )

I'm usually the first person to call out people or organizations who love to re-hash Slashdot posts, but this is pretty nifty.  Unipage is a new program still in beta, that is aiming to streamline the process of sending multi-page documents as a single HTML file.  Perhaps the best part is that it's able to send embedded content like Flash and ( Read more... )

Well, I've set up a board for some "Game of Thrones" play-by-post.  We'll see how it goes.  I'm still on the look out for potential players so if it looks like something that you might be interested in, let me know.

Back to Sunday night laundry and BSG.
