Neverwinter MMO
My long delay in posting is somewhat attributable to my discovery of the Neverwinter MMO on PS4 and then on PC. I really enjoy playing MMOs on the console. WoW was great and fun and I spent way too much time playing that game, but the console MMOs are great because they have less options […]

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 […]

Games Workshop retail store
I found my way into a Games Workshop retail store last night. I was excited to learn about the store. I was hoping that a GW retail outlet would be something special. 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. I looked at the pre-build walls and hallways from a few different vendors. I wanted to have more options and be more creative with my scenes. […]

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 […]
