Die Vol. 01: Fantasy Heartbreaker by Kieron Gillen and Stephanie Hans (Artist) – Graphic Novel Review
Kieron Gillen has written some of the finest comic books over the past decade. When I heard that he would be penning a new project that sees D&D and Jumanji come together, I was excited--thrilled, in fact! And when the first few pieces of art were revealed, I was ecstatic. Now, nine months after I... Continue Reading →

God of War: First Impressions
I played six hours of God of War with two of my closest friends, and I can't stop thinking about it. It's rare that I'll find a game lingering on my mind after I've put it down. Such games more often are those "just one more turn/game" strategy experiences, which can suck your life away... Continue Reading →
Dungeon Master’s Diary, S01, Session 02: Poke
Hello and welcome back to my Dungeon Master's Diary, where I recollect the long and winded tale of my Dungeons&Dragons party, the Assholes.

Dungeon Master’s Diary, S01, Session 01: Beginnings
Beginning a D&D campaign is a daunting experience, especially when your entire experience role-playing is in a few Pathfinder games. Dungeons&Dragons' latest edition is by no means an overly complex game. Most of the rules are explained in a clear, forthright way, and both the Player's Handbook(PHB) and Dungeon Master's Guide(DMG) are excellent books, introducing... Continue Reading →

Dead Space, Bioshock 1&2, a variety of others which saw a lone protagonist facing against horrifying and unknowable enemies, whether on a derelict starship or submerged leagues beneath the sea. Hated is, perhaps, too strong a word. Feared, in truth,... Continue Reading →
