The Gaming Den

Playing a character that specializes in Destruction is much less painful if you install the Better Magic mod from Skyrim Nexus. Each Mastery Perk (Novice, Apprentice, Adept, Expert, Master) within all five spell schools now has a secondary effect that improves all spells in that school. For Alterati...

So, watching the Unskippable of Metroid: Other M has led me to conclude that the problem was not giving Samus a voice but giving her an internal monologue. Because it sounds perfectly fine when she reports that she obliterated Zebes and exterminated the Metroids. Like, that is exactly how I imagine...

You can get the pre-painted Gamescience Dice, but I like to do things the old-fashioned way. Get a white chinese marker and some clear Gamescience dice and fill in the numbers yourself, and then seal them with some clear acrylic nail polish. It takes time, but the numbers end up looking better then ...

It would be a bit of a waste if Louisiana didn't become it's own nation. They already have a stovepipe legal system with some real differences from the rest of the US, and New Orleans is exactly the sort of hotbed of corruption and cronyism that makes a great Capitol. How high are the seas supposed...

Time to move onto the Cyberpunk Fantasy Heartbreaker, then?

I briefly considered whether I'd like to see Heartbreaker literally be After Sundown But With Cyborgs, and quickly decided that no, the two concepts don't quite mesh that well. The different worlds is one of the reasons why. Having it all take place on Earth (and maybe a bit of space) helps keep th...

My Drunk Kitchen: Episode 1
A Day In The Life Of Axle

Xanadu should clearly be a kingdom of twisted decadent molemen or something living beneath Mongolia. That's a question: should the entire After Sundown Leviathan cast just show up? Do people want mole men (Troglodytes) and Antarctic brain bugs (Mi-Go)? Because that could totally happen. Sure. But w...

Heck, we didn't shoot out of hand the guys who ordered and carried out the Malmedy massacure, we accepted their surrender and then tried them after the war was over. Though the process fell rather short of the ideal and resulted in all sorts of further legal stuff that eventually led to them all be...

Interior Semiotics

1 girl, 1 can?

Also led to me finding this retarded video. Apparently there's a whole "edgy shitty hipster art" subcategory on Youtube that I had never discovered. Thanks, MfA!

Yes, but what kind of Essence loss are we talking about here?

So why are Elves so integral to fantasy, anyways? Why not replace them with another race altogether?

Magic first came out about 17 years ago... you played during Alpha/Beta/Unlimited? I started playing when Unlimited first came out and played until I went to college, at which point I had to choose between playing M:tG and Street Fighter. I opted to keep playing Street Fighter and sold off all but ...

Some of my friends recently decided to start playing Magic: The Gathering again. I am considering picking the game back up again, but it has been something along the lines of 17 years since I last played Magic. I used to play a Red/White and a Red/Blue deck back in the day, but I'm not sure I would ...

Ancient History wrote:Oh hells no. I gave up on Earthdawn even farther back than SR.

Why? What happened?

I concur with K in this matter. To have the power to drastically change the world for the better while choosing not to wield it so you can indulge in your own personal gratification is morally repugnant. With great power comes great responsibility and all that. There's also not much of a challenge i...

Anime nerd and... Lancome model?

I've heard of folks making a sling to get their Xbox about three inches off the surface to let the vent get full play, or putting their entertainment system in the path of a wall-AC vent. But basically, keep it dusted and keep it near actual airflow, and it should be good. I find that putting your ...

The next generation of gamers are going to want to play FRPGs that resemble the anime they grew up watching. You're right, but your timing is way off. There are a ton of kids growing up with anime and a growing number of anime-inspired American animated series. Not only is the window of opportunity...

Watch the battle in Willow where Madmartigan kills the dragon by hopping on it's neck and making it blow up its own head. That's what they want. At no point do they want to be forced into a concept where they shoot energy bolts like Lion-O of the Thundercats . Willow is exactly the sort of fantasy ...

I think Sentinel is easiest class. That Shield is retarded imba. That's the one class that I haven't played yet *at all*. May do as soon as I get my gaming rig back up and running. Have you guys seen the ME3 demos? Looking very nice. Much love to BioWare for giving us the Omni-Blade. And the word o...

From 2009: Foamy The Squirrel shares the A-Kon convention rules with the world.

Oh, and it looks like Bruce Lewis is going to be there. He's a super old school anime guest (like Carl Macek, R.I.P.), so he should be pretty good.

My experience has been that once their defenses are negated, I can SMG them to death faster than I can singularity/warp or pull/warp them to death. Health goes down ridiculously fast compared to barriers, shields, and armor. Hell, half the time my teammates finish the guy before my warp recharges. ...

I stuck with the Locust once I got it. The damage may be less, but the shot grouping and lack of recoil suits my Infiltrator playstyle. I.E. if I'm against something with shields, I cloak, switch to the Locust (with disruptor ammo), aim for the head, and empty the clip. There's not much in the game...

As of two years ago, A-Kon was a 24/7 party con filled to the brim with booze, drugs, parties, attractive women squeezed into skintight Fetish Fuel costumes looking for one night stands, bishonen twinks looking for the same, and the organized representation of every sexual subculture known on the pl...
