I still play Dungeons & Dragons Online.

The sad thing is that it's actually a really good experience at its core and gets pulled away from it by things. The two-person co-op buddy shooter is not terribly common these days (at least not in PC

One of the impetuses that lead to this was the fact that I feel like a lot of sci-fi settings don't go into a lot of detail about how people live. It's really easy to talk about technology and politics,

The big thing I always try to remember when I'm in a moment like this is that you're always able to be stronger than you were. The past isn't something to downplay, but you haven't stopped in the past.

I went to this movie with really low expectations, but I was really pleasantly surprised. It's a hard film to watch at times, though. Very intense. It handles its subject matter in a very intelligent way,

Yes, though I don't really know much about it.

I knew that you're into music, but I don't think I ever learned what you play. Is that a viola I see in the photo? As for Pathfinder, it's a great game if you like certain bits of D&D. If 3.5 is your

The different video games are of differing levels of fidelity. Generally they're quite good as far as adaptations go, with a really strong focus on the storytelling.

I remember games like R-Type fondly. I'm too young to remember the originals, and my family didn't have consoles until I was several years into my elementary school career, but I think that hte formula

I'm finally getting a comment to cross-reference where I posted these, even though I finished them all comfortably before the deadline: The 90's: Decade of the RPG: The Joy of Total Annihilation: in hindsight,

The modern Fallout games are really good in my opinion (76 being a matter of contention), but the classics have something to them that just hasn't been preserved well in the sequels. They fall apart a

Playtesting is critical not just for getting to a point where you know what you're doing, but also as a generative process. Back when I was a game reviewer, I would often see things that were uninspired,

I never really got into collectible cards as a kid (with the exception of a couple flirtations), but I have a lot of friends now who are into Magic the Gathering and have been since they were kids. It's

As a teacher (and someone who was partially homeschooled), I often get asked about homeschooling. I don't necessarily recommend it, both because I've only been at schools that tend to be pretty high performing

Yeah, I've noticed that every big A-list thing seems to have at least a thousand people working on it. It's cool because you're very easily able to get within a degree or two of separation of anything

I actually "work" (as a freelancer) with someone who worked (I believe as a non-freelancer) on Horizon: Zero Dawn. I haven't played it because I don't have a PS4 or really enough disposable income

Yeah, it was rough. Fortunately it sounds like she probably had a stroke, rather than one of the more painful ways to go, and we were on it enough to have her put down before any really horrible suffering

Why not both?

From the sound of it, none. They just randomly got this company's stuff when they ordered from their supplier. On the other hand, who knows?

TA is the sort of game that I find refreshing whenever I get a little burnt out on games. It's definitely got places where it shows its age, but it and its successors just feel right in a way that a lot
