I’ve had a lot of time on my hands lately and between my birthday and Christmas, I’ve come into a slew of new games to pass the time. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine Space Marine is a part of the Warhammer 40,000 gaming franchise and, while this is really my first delve into that setting, the [...]

In the January 19, 2012, issue of Rolling Stone, there was a small sidebar article about how artists, specifically The Black Keys and Coldplay, have chosen not to have their latest albums available to stream on Spotify. The article (“The Black Keys, Coldplay Say No (For Now) to Spotify“; page 17) quotes The Black Keys [...]

For the past couple of months, I’ve been reading through George R. R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” series.

Prior to his “Food Revolution” show, I had watched a few of his cooking shows [...]

One of the most anticipated roleplaying games to come out recently was the Dresden Files RPG. The RPG is based off of the novels written by Jim Butcher. After watching me keep an eye on prices for months, my wife bought me the two books – “Your Story” & “Our World” – for an anniversary [...]

I have to admit that I had no clue “The Road,” by Cormac McCarthy even existed until I watched the trailer for the movie adaptation online last fall. I’ve always been a fan of post-apocalyptic stories and catching a glimpse of the feeling and tone of the story, even in that minute-long trailor, I knew [...]

Ever since first playing the Battlestar Galactica board game last year at Logtar’s place, I’ve been kicking around the idea of plunking down the cash to get a copy of our own. About a month ago, I talked myself into it (Yay, tax return!). I could have easily saved $10-$15 by ordering online, but I [...]
