I got it in my head that, for Halloween, I was going to run a one-shot Call of Cthulhu game! I don’t really know why. I didn’t have any experience with it. But hey, I bought the book, and I schemed, and I planned, and on Wednesday, Jonathan, Spaeth, Essner, and Ben all played my […]
MU HOO HA HA HA HALLOWED WEEN! SPOOKY, SCARY! But yeah, happy candy day, everybody. Get lots of Smarties. Those are totally the best. But not the Canadian kind that are just M&Ms? The real, American style kind. Yeah. I guess you can get other kinds of candy if you prefer, but you’re probably doing […]
In honor of that most Hallowed of Weens, here’s a Haunted House story. On Sunday I was invited by one Matthew Essner to go to the Haunted Hall of Horrors at Arena Park, the Haunted House thingy they set up every year around this time. It was fun enough. A scary time, and a good […]
You should go and play this right now, and then come back. It’s called Small Worlds. It’ll only take you, what, 10 minutes? 15? It’s really cool. Leave the sound on. Play it. Then we’ll talk. — Played it? Ready for spoilarz? Alright then. This is a really damn good art game. It has a […]
I mean, helmets in RPGs suck. My characters look so lame in helmets. So my superhero in Twilight Heroes would look incredibly lame wearing this month’s IoTM, the Mask of Odysseus. Cause, you know, it’s a mask. Nobody could see my neat face! Maybe! At first glance, this is just a worse Wolley’s Index or, […]
Do I even do these reviews anymore? Fuck if I know. This month’s KoL IoTM offering is the Squamous Gibberer. It’s a clear Cthulhu reference, so that’s neato as well as torpedo. It potatoes. It whelps. It Wild Hares for extra turns. It breathes underwater. Basically, it’s completely a win. I love Potatoes and Whelps, […]
Even though I am being good and renting games, I bought Brutal Legend. It was purely out of a love for Tim Schafer and wanting to support Double Fine in its endeavors. I had to give them money and the small boost in first week sales that I could. So, you know, I bought it. […]
Fact 1: I have a PS3 now. My PSN account is, shockingly, poetfox. I don’t have any games to speak of where that information would be useful yet, though I’ve added a bunch to my Gamefly. So yay for that. Fact 2: This comic is awesome. Fact 3: Jade Harley is now my favorite forever […]
By the way, I typed the title as “I’m alone at home with the god” three times before I managed to type it correctly. So the parents are back, and I survived the dog. Good for me! Overall, it was a fairly positive experience. I got her to actually eat her dog food, which was […]
Time Hollow is pretty well exactly what I thought it would be. It’s an adventure game that’s on the DS. You click on things, and are given descriptions, and you solve puzzles! There’s a story involving a pen that can draw holes in time. It’s pretty well the perfect rental if you’re an adventure game […]
