Game conventions: Origins Game Fair
This Father’s day I had the rare treat of going to the Origins Game Fair. I really enjoy Origins and should probably consider attending more of the con rather than making a Sunday exhibit hall run for deals. Don’t get me wrong, the Sunday deal hunt is a time honored tradition passed down by my […]

Teaching Linux
I have been using a *NIX system for a few decades now and it seems to become more challenging as time goes by to teach people about linux command line. I cannot tell if I’m turning into a crumudgeon or if there has been a fundamental shift in the mentality of computer users, especially new […]

The new Pokemon GO game has been released in the U.S. and it seems to be a pretty fun idea. The augmented reality game connects with a Google Maps like system (could very well be Maps itself) to give the player a real world space to explore and look for pokemon. I can help but […]

Note4 vs iPhone almost a year in
It’s been almost a year since I switch from the Apple iPhone to the Samsung Note. I rarely use my iPad anymore unless I’m playing one of the board games that I have previously purchased from the Apple App store. Many of the things I thought I would miss from the Apple ecosystem just aren’t […]

The manager was friendly and knowledgeable. He knew the games and army compositions and the lore. He offered constructive tips on how to […]
Hirst Arts molds
I picked up a selection of Hirst Arts castlemolds at Gen Con this year. I have wanted to find a solution for scenery for RPGs and Warhammer fantasy battles.

Last Night on Earth first impressions
We finally got around to playing the Last Night on Earth game. I’m not a big zombie fan, but I found that I liked the game. I’m a huge fan of Mansions of Madness; the one thing that causes trouble with Mansions is the long setup time. If you setup a card stack wrong or […]

Red Dragon Inn play test
For longer than I can recall I’ve wanted to play the Red Dragon Inn. For one reason or another it was on my short list, but something else always came out or was the new hotness and I never got around to buying a copy. Also, I was skeptical about the theme. My gaming group includes […]
