I apologise for the lateness of this news (it won’t be news to people who were paying attention) but this one completely passed me by, too much time spent in WoW methinks.

(Note: clicking on the ‘read more’ link will lead you to what looks like a broken page, this is due to the embedded music player, everything still works as it should its just the layout thats screwy. Wordpress can’t handle the <object> and <embed> tags. If anyone has any suggestions for fixing this feel free to let me know in the comments)

Gary Gygax 1938-2008

Posted on March 5, 2008
Filed Under Games | 1 Comment

There are unlikely to be many people who have influenced the culture of today’s gamers as much as Gary Gygax. His creation has become synonymous with role-playing games since it hacked and slashed its way into existence in 1974. An entire generation owes much to the imagination and creativity of Gary and the game known to many simply as DnD.

The obligatory Entrecard post.

It seems that everyone else is doing it (well not everyone, but quite a lot of people) so I thought I’d relate my experience with Entrecard. I don’t normally write about this kind of thing but I reckoned that this was worth a mention. Maybe I can convert you to using Entrecard on your own blog (if you don’t already). Read more

The Writers Are No Longer Revolting

Posted on February 12, 2008
Filed Under General | 4 Comments

Yes the writers strike I wrote about is now over, screenwriters will be returning to work tomorrow. It seems that the threat of disruption to the annual circle jerk that is the Oscars was too great. Unfortunately this does not mean that we’re getting the rest of season 2 of Heroes, Season 3 starts filming in April and should hit screens stateside in September. No news as to when we’re getting season 2 over here in blighty, I would expect it to be about a year after the states does :(

Its sad really, that the rabid opponents of individual responsibility seem to have scored another victory in the war against grown ups making their own decisions. In an article in the Guardian on Saturday it was revealed that the government is to bring in a legally binding ratings system for games, not unlike the current film classification regime administered by the BBFC.

A Visual Feast.

My friend Tom from clearwood.co.uk, is in Barcelona, enjoying better weather than those he left behind and taking some amazing photographs. I sometimes find myself wishing I had his eye for the unusual and familiarly strange, I guess I just don’t pay that much attention to my surroundings.
