Inquisition of the Week: Musical Tastes »

You have spoken that the Warlord is the class you are most looking forward to in fourth edition! If only there was a way for you to get a significant preview of what the Warlord will be like.
Oh wait, there is!
The Warlock came in second (either because it’s the other new class, or because it […]

Paizo’s 3.75 »

Paizo announced yesterday that they will be sticking with their own re-branded version of Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 for their popular (and well made) Pathfinder series. The Pathfinder RPG will serve as the core book, which will update the 3.5 D&D Rules. You can even download the nice-looking Alpha document from Paizo’s site now. After […]

Rock Band and Portal: Two Great Tastes Together »

Around these parts, Portal has seen a slight insurgence, thanks to me lending Bartoneus and Sucilaria The Orange Box. I actually had to get them to shut it down at a party last Saturday so that I could feed my Rock Band addiction and caterwaul through my rendition of Ballroom Blitz. This actually allowed […]

YouTube of the Week: Yakety Trap Edition »

Some Benny Hill jokes… why not? The second one I found via Graham.

Guitar Hero for Reals? »

Players in my current D&D game will find that this nicely coincides with an encounter that […]

Review: Freezepop “Future Future Future Perfect” »

Freezepop isn’t a household band name, but gamers have a greater chance of recognizing their brand of catchy synthpop. The band has contributed songs to a few video games (most notably for bonus tracks in Guitar Hero, Guitar Hero 2, and Rock Band- one of the members of the band works for Harmonix.) They also […]

Inq. of the Week: Pirates Ahoy »

As expected, To Hit Armor Class 0 is the best nerd rockband name ever as has been proven conclusively, and I didn’t even have to cheat. On our worldwide tour, Rock Into Mordor can open for us for coming in a respectable second. Various other band names (both real and imagined) all came in with […]
