I Wanna Be Your (Spider)Man

(Editor’s ‘Note: ‘Do you have a module based on the comic where Peter Parker and Mary Jane get married?) Once upon a time, a gamer was a gamer. ‘You played video, board, card, roleplaying, and sometimes miniature games. ‘You bonded with other gamers over your mutual status as outsiders from polite society. ‘Really, we were […]

Unlimited Marvel?

(Editor ‘s Note: TLDR, Shut up Marvel and take more of my money!) We are not just about games here at 2 Guys Gaming. I used to be a comic book collector. Wait. That isn ‘t the right verb tense. I still have boxes of comics in my closet. My name is Shawn and I

Revisiting 2 “Marvel”ous Games

(Editor’s Note: I know that I promised a video for Fallout 1 and 2 and haven’t delivered. Marvel Puzzle Quest is running a video contest, though, so I am planning a video for that game soon.) We are recording episode 5 this weekend. The show is about Heroclix and Lego video games. We are going

Do You Want to Build Some Standard?

(Editor’s Note: Chris asked this question a couple of weeks ago. Before you ask, yes he sang it just like the girl from Frozen. He has a beautiful singing voice.) I was never interested in the various formats of Magic or what they meant until about a month ago. One of my favorite Magic streamers

This time I have my gamer’s resolution to play new/different games, so I might actually go through with it. Stay tuned for the next Fallout 3 article, coming to 2 Guys Gaming in

Attempting Abzan on the Cheap

(Editor’s Note: Chris came up with the idea a couple of weeks ago to delve (pun fully intended) into Standard with a couple of our decks to explore the strategy of having to update decks periodically as new sets are released and old sets rotate out. This doesn’t mean that we are going away from

Days of Future Past

(Editor’s Note: Look for the companion video coming soon!) Few game series have captured my imagination in the way that the Fallout games did. Similar to the Diablo series, I had never played the first two games because of my lack of PC gaming experience. I simply heard good things about the third one. When

Getting the Gang Together

(Editor’s Note: Be on the lookout for a “Help Wanted” sign on a tavern door near you. It could be these guys and if you want to keep living, you’ll just walk on by. That’s not a threat. It’s a warning.) I wrote an article recently about Dungeons and Dragons. In the article, I mentioned

How to Play Your Dragons (of Tarkir)?

(Editor’s Note: Ultimately, I had to decide not to bring the boys to a prerelease because Liam isn’t feeling well, but I’m interested in in what everyone thinks about this.) With the last set in the Tarkir block imminent and big changes on the horizon for the game, I wanted to do a preview article
