Hey all, I know we've got some MMO fans around here, so I figured I would share the video I made about DDO. Going to be something of a year-long project, so if anyone wants something new to play, don't hesitate to join me! From what I've played so far, it's been really fun. Not a *super*...

Hey all, Just published a video about the first Torchlight. I know we've got some big Hack N' Slash and/or Diablo gamers around here, so I figured I'd post it if anyone's interested. Torchlight was pretty interesting. It released as everyone was still waiting for Diablo 3 and filled the void...

When you accept that later 80s Sabbath is basically just NWOBHM, y'know, except with the literal godfather of metal guitar writing the riffs, with a more-than-capable singer in Tony Martin, you start to realize that these albums are pretty bangin'.

I've been in a much softer mood of late. I've always had a soft-spot for Parton, even if I couldn't even remotely be considered a country fan.

Dark Sun is actually why I read through the handbook in the first place! I've got an old Dragon Kings module and figured I'd give myself a refresher beforehand. Always really liked what Dark Sun did with the class. The way it's weaved into the world makes it all fit in a bit better. Dark Sun...

See, I would generally agree with you, but the "uniqueness" of the psionics in this case more often-than-not makes them feel too different. It's like they interpret and understand the rules of the game completely differently from every other class. I can appreciate what they were trying to do...

Having just finished reading the handbook, I'm still not sure I'm adjusted to the fact that it reverses the use of the d20 - as in a 20 is a critical failure. And what I mean by "mini-games" is that because of what psionics have available to them, they have an entire litany of defenses and...

Hey all, I've been reading through the Psionics Handbook over the past few days for a video about both the handbook itself and another module about Dark Sun (which made psionics a huge part of the world). Kinda curious to know what people think about Psionics (eferred to as Mystics in more...

The fact that these AAA companies can have budgets of this magnitude and still can't figure out how not to crunch their employees is borderline astounding. I'll always root for the games cobbled together from mothballs. Nothing against big budgets, but there's something about the ingenuity of...

What will always strike me about Blizzard is how it just doesn't, from top to bottom, represent anything that the company stood for in it it's earlier days. They went from by gamers, for gamers, and literally pioneering new online systems to make their games that much better... to always-online...

If I can find the time for it, I plan too. At this point, I feel like I've seen/heard so much through osmosis that I've effectively played it :ROFLMAO: That game is pretty cheap on reseller marketplaces and it has crossed my mind to buy it. Not sure I'm ready for that degree of torture.

I've been forcing myself to play through some of the bad old D&D games - Hillsfar and Heroes of the Lance - specifically. For as much gold as the DOS-era gave us, goodness, if it didn't also give us some absolute duds...

Hey all, I recently started another series on Youtube wherein I take a look at old D&D box sets and modules in a podcast-style stream of consciousness. Figured some here might enjoy it. They come out on Mondays and have video to watch but do just as well in an audio format for anyone that...

Hey all, Here's the video I was working on with these figures!

Honestly, in writing the script as of now, I was gonna include a line that I basically just assumed there was some sort of impropriety going on. I know a bit more about business then I wish I did (minor in college) and so much of what I've seen just seems... off. I understand game dev is...

Thanks everyone! 40 bucks seems to be a pretty reasonable number. Far as I can tell, there were some differences between regions and whatnot, but it's good enough for government work. In that case, considering Fallout sold about 120k units, it grossed about $4.8 million. It cost 3 million to...

Insane note for a 65 year old at the beginning. Almost amazing how important Dio became to the genre, considering he could never coexist within any band (or keep any single iteration of his own together) for any extended period of time.

Hey all! Strange question I had for some of the more seasoned vets amongst us: how much did a brand new game cost in the mid-to-late 90s/early 2000s? Been doing some reading into how Interplay/Black Isle went under back in the early 2000s, in spite of the fact that they made so many great...

I made a video about Dungeon Hack! Menzoberannzan might happen at some point, but only if I get a sudden itch. Love the atmosphere and stuff, but I don't really love the way those real-time first-person DOS titles play today.

Hey all, Just released a video about Neverwinter Nights that I thought you all might find interesting. It played like the other Gold Box titles and was the first MMORPG to feature graphics. It was so successful during it's run (1991-1997) that BioWare intentionally licensed the name for the...
