Acid for Blood

This article is actually quite a balanced one on LARPing (though there are a few inaccuracies). Some quotes and my comments follow.
LARPing, however, has always been the upper echelons of dorkdom, an activity considering by some as too geeky for even the geekiest of geeks.
As I related previously, I was a LARPer before started playing […]

I’ve been watching the Ink Me Up 8-bit Style LiveJournal community for a while (almost for as long as it has existed), because it’s interesting to see what people get tattooed on themselves. Naturally, there have been many tats related to the popular games properties: Zelda, Final Fantasy, Mario. Rarer are the Metroid-related tattoos, […]

Forgot to mention that I found, through a former GameStop co-worker, a bunch of people to go to the show with me. Four of us used to work at GameStop, so I do know some people, though not very well. One of my other friends is going, too. In all that makes eight in the […]

I’ve been too busy reviewing games and playing table-top RPGs to play the games on my list. I did buy Minna Daisuki Katamari Damacy, but I have not spent much time rolling around.

I asked (and answered) the question five months ago. Here are a number of suggestions.
What I like about this article is that it lists a wide variety of games. It doesn’t pigeonhole us into only liking cute games. I think a lot of non-gamers would be amazed at the sizeable number of women who enjoy […]

I found a Dungeons & Dragons game! We had our first session yesterday. It has been three years since I have played D&D properly.
I don’t count the time I played for a few months in 2003, because the campaign never really got off the ground. Hell, I never even had a background for the Half […]

Soon, the Callers of Cthulhu guild will welcome a new member. My friend, Doc Jitters, got Guild Wars for his birthday last week. Maybe when we get a few more members, we might try PvP. For now, we’re going to continue playing the RPG part of the game.
There’s an interview with the Guild Wars Community […]
