Into the Mouth of Hell All By Myself

(Editor’s Note: Ever been so sure of something only to be proven completely wrong? Enjoy watching me eat a nice helping of crow.) I’ve mentioned before that I’m a big fan of World of Warcraft. I have not enjoyed this latest expansion as much as I thought and I might even be in the twilight […]

Overdose on Cardboard Crack

(Editor’s Note: I know that I’ve been heavy on the Magic articles lately, but this is an exciting time for the game right now. I will do something on Diablo III on Friday to prepare for the podcast next week.) As most of you already know, Pax East was this past weekend in Boston. Since

Majorly Modern Magic

(Editor’s Note: I challenge you to find a Magic card that is more fun to say out loud than “Tarmogoyf”.) StarCityGames.com held their first Modern Open Tournament this past weekend in Baltimore.

Collector’s Corner Vol.1: The Madness Returns

New year! New column! During my absence, I picked up a good number of new video games thanks to Christmas, my birthday and my collecting addiction rearing its ugly head again. Yes, the same ugly addiction that I spent an entire article preaching about how I kicked its ass..has crept back into my life. Well

Currently Playing…Vol.9

  First of all, I just want to apologize to all of you for letting things drop for the last couple of months. Work and preparing for the holidays took a bigger chunk of my time than I thought it would, which led to me backing off from writing for this glorious website. Well, good
