If your interested in why I haven't posted in a bit tune in tomorrow.  Had my birthday on the first, and my free time has been all been absorbed as I've been sucked into War for Cybertron.

Prince of Persia the Forgotten Sands

With the release of Prince of Persia the Sands of Time in theaters everyone knew it wouldn’t be long before a video game tie-in was released.  Which makes Prince of Persia the Forgotten Sands a unique creature.  It’s a game based on a movie based on a game.  As such it has quite a stigma [...]

Dark Sun Encounters Week Two: Fire and Poison

We gained two new members this week, of course we also lost one from the previous encounter.  On the plus side the group now had another striker and a healer as they played Shikirr and Phye respectively.  The spellcaster Barcan was however MIA which left the group with slightly less ranged damage.  But seeing as [...]

The A-Team

I love the A-Team.  I loved the show as a kid, and I really enjoyed the new movie.  Now it’s been getting panned a bit by the critics, but I think the problem is most of them are forgetting what this movie is.  The A-Team ran for five years in the 80s.  It was a [...]

Freakangels

As has been mentioned before here I’m a fan of Warren Ellis.  Though he does have a distinct style to his writing he also likes to play around with different genres which keeps his various works from blending to much in to each other and staying unique and interesting.  At the moment, along with all [...]

Dark Sun Encounters Week One

This week marked my first attempt to run a session of Dungeons and Dragons as a DM.  And personally I think it went pretty well.  All the players seemed to enjoy themselves, no one died, though a few came close, and we got to test out the newly revamped 4E version of the Dark Sun [...]

Alpha Protocol

Alpha Protocol is an ambitious game.  Like many developed these days it doesn’t fit a single genre classification.  It’s a fusion, mixing RPG elements, third person shooter action, and stealth gameplay.  Set in the modern world of secret government agencies it foregoes all the fantastical elements of elves and aliens, instead enrobing the player in [...]

D & D Encounters: Vol 11 The Grand Finale

Ah the bittersweet finale of our campaign.  It’s been a lot of fun but all things must come to an end.  Of course we were expecting a hard fight, and with half the group still recovering form past battles we weren’t exactly in top form.  Things were looking rather dangerous.

Our cast

“Lyndy” the Rogue
“Andy” the Druid

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

In 1989 Jordan Mechner created a little platforming adventure game called Prince of Persia.  A swashbuckling affair full of acrobatics and sword play set in ancient Persia.  It’s a game I spent a great deal of time with as a child. It would spawn a handful of sequels before the series received a major reboot [...]

D & D Encounters: Vol 10 Zombie Dogs and Walking Bones

Having survived the mushroom men this week our group was back up to near full strength with the Warden rejoining us.  It turned out to be a good thing, but at the same time this week’s fight ended up significantly easier simply because the Druid has good eyes.  Of course the Rogue and Warlord were [...]

Robin Hood

I went into Ridley Scott’s new Robin Hood expecting a modern rehashing of the classic legend.  What I received was definitely a modern retelling, but it was more of a prequel to the legend we all know and love.  In fact it’s not until the last ten minutes of the movie that Robin actually becomes [...]
