Well, I finally got the Marvel Trading Card Game Online to work; you may recall my previous post regarding my difficulties in this area. Let me tell you, although the game actually works on my computer now, my opinion of it hasn’t improved much. The client teaches you how to play with the [...]

I stayed up late last night playing Neverwinter Nights 2, and I have more thoughts on it. I’m still really, really enjoying it (though I sort of regret the little bout of multiclassing that I went through earlier; I picked up a level of bard so I could qualify for the red dragon disciple [...]

I saw two movies for the first time this past weekend (both were on DVD, so there’s a good chance you’ve already seen them).
Superman Returns: I liked this movie, but not as much as I thought I would. The story was pretty good and the action was well-done, the acting was good, the special [...]

Alright, let’s get this out in the open: Monte Cook’s Ptolus is a massive, massive book. So massive, that I think a single review of the entire tome would stretch the limits of convenient readability on this website. Also, I wouldn’t be able to post anything for another month or so, if that. [...]

I bought Neverwinter Nights 2 with some gift card money just after Christmas, and I’ve been playing it since. I’m still in Chapter 1, in the city of Neverwinter, doing quests for the city watch. I bought and played the first one shortly after it came out, but lost interest in it around [...]

I just got back from seeing Eragon. Not a bad movie, though not a great one, either. It seems to bring up a bit of a catch-22. I really wish I had seen this movie before having seen The Lord of the Rings, because that movie set the bar pretty high for [...]

HeroCard: Rise of the Shogun, by TableStar Games, shares some similarities with other HeroCard titles. Like Galaxy and Champion of New Olympia, Rise of the Shogun uses the core HeroCard conflict mechanics to handle all player-versus-player conflicts in the game. Also like the other games, Rise of the Shogun is both a card [...]

I’ve only played this game once, so I’m not going to do a full review. I will, however, elucidate my impressions of the game, based on a single play-through. See, I got this game as a birthday present for a friend of mine, so I don’t actually own it. However, the birthday [...]

Let it not be said that I don’t link to outside reviews. I picked up WotC’s Secrets of Xen’drik in Borders yesterday and leafed through it, and I came away with an overall positive impression. EN World has reinforced this for me. Enjoy the review.

I just rented and watched A Sound of Thunder last night, a movie based on the Ray Bradbury short story of the same name. If you’ve never read the story, do yourself a favor and avoid this one, unless you’re a fan of thoroughly mediocre productions. If you have read the story, you’ll [...]
