There's a new addition to the Indy gaming scene: The Arsenal Game Room & Cafe. This is a great place to meet up, play some games and eat some food. There's a mini con there Saturday February 9th so come and check the place out. You can also meet other gamers at their forum here. Selfishly, I...

How about animals fused with inanimate objects? One way to increase the creepiness is to have animals that are more pathetic and pitiful than dangerous. That's not to mean they aren't dangerous, they still need to be a threat. But it might be fun to make your players feel like they are putting...

You, my friend, just opened a door into Awesome.

Man, that movie blew! You know its bad when they just resort to shock value: DUDE! That little kid got a FACE HUGGER! DUDE! The stoners' heads EXPLODED! DUDE! The jerk boyfriend's face MELTED! DUDE! That pool scene perfectly framed a close up of the hot girls BUTT! and the absolute worse...

For the record: I loved the book and my wife and I both occasionally read from it, looking for cool passages, when we are between books. The Lynch movie was terrible. Though the casting of Sting as a Harkonnen is pretty sweet. The miniseries was slow and poorly-acted. The first novel, Dune...

This is the coolest part of my homebrew... Making it and drinking it.

I'll be there. I was just thinking about Gen Con today as I had lunch at The Ram...

The Arsenal now has a web site. Watch its forum for upcoming games and such.

That would be the ULTIMATE CASE MOD!

Man, I love the large-scale element bending in this show. And my favorite one-off character returns: THE BOULDER!

Here a few obscure sci-fi movies I dig: Colossus: The Forbin Project: An AI built to run the US nuclear weapons systems goes rogue. Outland: Sean Connery, with a shotgun, on a space station, fighting drug dealers. Sweet. Primer: Low budget (but frickin' cool) movie about time travel. Its more...

I just finished Tim Powers' Declare. Here's what I'm reading now: <div style="margin:0px;"> <embed width="190" height="300" src="http://www.goodreads.com/images/widget/widget2.swf" quality="high" wmode="transparent" FlashVars="id=422075&shelf=currently-reading&title=Chris's bookshelf...

Hands down: Avatar. Its the only show my daughter likes and that my wife and I get excited about watching.

Having finally decided that Humanity is a threat, the automated probe ignited its fusion rockets and boosted for home.

I totally agree with this. I was reading this and a co-worker saw it and said, "Wow! A new Fafhrd and Grey Mouser book! Can I borrow it when you are done?". I told him sure, but that Lieber must have grown into a dirty old man at some point, because the sex was gratuitous and didn't really add...

I have a new one. We made the shepard's pie recipe from Michael Chiarello's food network show that has lamb and beef in it. My wife made bread to go with it. Damn. That recipe's a keeper. It was on his pub food show. It's on food network's web site.

I ran my first Dread game last night. Unfortunately, I only got three players. But we had a great time. I wasn't sure if the two big gimmicks (Jenga and the character questionnaires) would work but they sure did. Even I, as host, was tense as the players pulled blocks from the rickety tower! By...

That sounds like a hell of a meal!

It's well known that gorillas and VW bugs are natural enemies.

I didn't take that pic, it was actually from a web site. On a side note, I really dig all the crazy statues they made back before the interstate system was completed. Most are gone, but if you drive on state highways you still see a bunch of this kind of stuff. Just on Pendleton Pike alone...
