Episode 7 of the Basics of the Game
In this episdoe, I discuss some of the Kickstarters I have taken an interest in. I can’t afford the money for them, but I can at least pump them up a little. I think I may make that a semi-regular thing.

Basics of the Game Episode 4
Yay shownotes! Today, I talk about the game, Lords of Gossamer and Shadow.

The Basics of the Game Episode 3
Another installment of the Basics of the Game. This time I ramble on about Assassin’s Creed 2, and the idea of having a side game to build stuff. Very rambly, but hopefully, in a good way.

Geek Health Update 1
This is the first episode of me talking about my health issues, and struggles to lose weight. These will be less frequent, probably, but I feel like sharing these might help me, and maybe others going through the same thing.

Episode 1 of the new video show.
This is my introduction episode for this channel. I will have more content going forward, but I thought an episode that is sort of “mission statement” was in order. Check in a few days for more stuff from me. Enjoy.

Man of Steel
Superman is not an easy character to get right. Many people have taken approaches at him, and few have succeeded. Snyder’s approach was actually fairly new, and I am not sure if he succeeded or not, but if he failed, he failed in an enjoyable manner. Superman is a legend, a god that has feet on the ground like a man. He is the invulnerable, and unstoppable man. That is often the problem, as he is so powerful, it is awfully hard to give him a challenge he can’t rise to. More than that, he is big boy scout, always, and today’s audience is often seen as having a problem…

Star Treking
I have been thinking about Star Trek today. Specifically, I have been thinking about gaming in Star Trek. Star Trek has had a few RPG’s based on it. Fasa, Last Unicorn and Decipher have all done games based on the material, not to mention Prime Directive. They all had varying levels of success. Fasa, in particular, had an “interesting” time with the fact they came up with their own canon for the game world, only to have it directly contradicted later by the rights holder. Star Trek, in general, seems like a no brainer for a scifi game setting, that anyone would love. Unfortunately, i there may be a significant…

Many shades of black
Tonight’s Hannibal inspired me to write some things. Forgive me if I ramble. One of my all time favorite TV shows of all time is Millennium. It was done by some of the people behind X-Files and Space Above and Beyond, and it actually crossed over with X-Files at a couple of points. It was nominally about a guy who can see into the minds of evil, to help find killers. This is a premise that has been done often to varying degrees, but usually with a sort of typical police procedural feel. Millennium was not that model. It had a deeply melancholy theme running through it, a level personal…
