Ever since Mario Golf and Mario Tennis for the Gameboy Color showed me the light, I have been a fan of very arcade-y golf and tennis games. However, Nintendo has failed to beat Camelot into make a new Mario Golf and Mario Tennis for the DS or the Wii, so I’ve been without for awhile. […]
So the other night, I played a board game of a much different sort than I normally play. Jonathan convinced me to try some Harry Potter Clue, which his ladyfriend had gotten a copy of and wanted to play. Clue is always a decent sort of time, so I decided to not hide and be […]
So, we played another (short) session of Jonathan’s DnD campaign in the magical wonderland of Crystaengland on Sunday. It was exciting times, I suppose! There was only one serious combat, and that was against a big rock that Essner dealt like a million damage to in one turn. He was all gloating about it, and […]
So, after finally beating my two RPGs from 2008 that I wanted to tackle, I finally got to turn my attention to the unfortunately overlooked last episode of Strong Bad’s Cool Game For Attractive People, 8-bit is Enough. It was a fitting end to the series. I suppose Telltale thought that putting Trogdor in the […]
So, I beat Fallout 3! Yay for me, I suppose! First, some general comments, then, I suppose, some ending spoilarz. Which I’ll have a line designating before them, so, you know, read on. This was a damn good game. Brer can bitch about it all he wants (No RPG can ever make him happy, I’ve […]
So, Essner wanted to watch Hamlet 2. Now, I didn’t think the movie was going to be good. I mean, it never really seemed promising. It didn’t have anyone in it I really think could do the solid idea justice. But surely it would provide a few laughs, and maybe I’d be surprised and it […]
So we finally got to give a go to Scene It! Box Office Smash. Just like the other game, it was a lot of fun. There’s nothing special about the movie trivia game, but hell, a good trivia game is always a good time, even if there’s absolutely no way Essner won’t win, because he’s […]
This one is a simple one, but I like it a lot. The GigaGuy Cannon is this month’s offering in Twilight Heroes, and beyond it being a blatant MegaMan reference (which I missed for far, far too long. Take away my Talking Time license or something) it’s also a pretty solid ranged weapon. Well, certainly […]
Another board game we tried out on New Years was Fury of Dracula, from the company that brought us Arkham Horror. I thought the all vs one mechanic combined with what looked to be a hopefully shorter game would make this one a winner, so I went about making sure I got it for Chrissymas. […]
So, this last night, we got to finally play some of this Dungeons and Dragons campaign my brother has been working on. It went well! Rachel Sparklewhisper made a slightly re-specced appearance as team Warlord/Healer. I took roleplaying her much less serious this time, though. Cause, you know, it seemed appropriate. So I ate muffins […]
