There’s a lot of mileage in fairy tales, and I don’t know why people keep going back to the same old Disney classics when they could just open Grimm’s and find something fresh to remake in their own image. My guess is that they’ve read The Seventh Bride and are intimidated. Maybe they saw how it was …

I have become completely hooked on the new indie-darling, Kingdom. I sat down with Tim Lanning of GeeklyInc.com to go over some of the basics of this 2D, side-scrolling, strategy, rogue-like. Check out our video and join me in my obsession. (When I close my eyes to sleep, I see little wandering villagers and hear …

After receiving such a shock to our collective systems, we had no choice but to attempt to find our next move. Sure, working with devils is probably bad, but this Bahamut crew also seems not so great. Maybe in this situation we are following “the enemy and my enemy is friend” but with the added …

Welcome back to Magic Gatherings! Last time we talked about the results of Pro Tour Battle for Zendikar, as well as the costs of Standard and some tips for budget deckbuilding. I got all the way through those budget tips without actually pointing you toward budget resources of your own! So today I’m going to remedy that. I’ll …

This week we are joined by Nika Howard (@nika_howard), Cody (@codedude3), Matthew Morris …

Christina Ladd: Area X Cross-contamination between various media was always inevitable. Books that read like movies–and now books that read like video games–were always going to happen, and I’m not sorry they did. But there’s always a special pleasure reserved for books that do what other media can’t, taking full advantage of not only a …

One of the blurbs on the back of A Borrowed Man describes the book as “Wolfean.” Meaning, that it was written by and is quintessentially representative of Gene Wolfe, one of our modern SFF masters. This is simultaneously a very silly and very true thing to say, because of course what he writes ought to be …

This weekmonth on Sailor Moon we…hold on.  Anyways there’s a new game out and…hold on.  Ayaka is still really…hold on.  And Sailor Bear almost…hold on. Hold on… Hold on… Almost… 5 more minutes guys… Join GM Steph Kingston, Sailor Bear (Dave Rollins), Sailor Rainbow (Christina Ladd), and Sailor Sunshine (Sam Brady) this episode as they…hold …

After a somewhat stressful end to our last session, the gang does what it does best – focusing all of their (remaining) efforts to solve the problem at hand. Sure, things seemed awfully grim, but there has to be some arcane magics or divine assistance that we could harness. What is Geodude up to? That guy …

Welcome back to Magic Gatherings! Last column I introduced the Standard format. I wrote a bit about the requirements and spotlighted the new decks from the first major tournament that used Battle for Zendikar cards. The major question at the end of the column was whether Pro Tour Battle for Zendikar—which happened this past weekend in exotic Milwaukee, Wisconsin—would shake up …
