    "Order of the Stick" Kickstarter shatters records, about to top $500K

    Gulla... well, first I already have one of the books. (Snips) second, the math is off and buying 7 for 222 is paying 52 for the 7th book. And while I'm obviously not against spending money on something I like, I'm not exactly wealthy enough to spend extra just for kicks.

    "Order of the Stick" Kickstarter shatters records, about to top $500K

    Stupid question. The $94 level has pick 2+1 and then the option to add more for $30 or $16 up to 6. If I want 6 books ( 1 of each ) do I pledge 94 or do i pledge 170?

    Class Balance - why?

    DMG says its the DM's job to make the game fun for everyone and stop spotlight hogging. Adding a time limit isn't hard. I see in your response elsehwere you added a ONE MONTH time limit to one of your adventures, your party blew the deadline and rather than have any negative consequences at all...

    Class Balance - why?

    Too many of these wizards-do-it-all posts ignore the stupidity of the 5 minute workday. If the DM and the other party-members allow the 5-minute workday, then YES the wizard is overpowered. In reality, there should be no chance this happens. The DM should do everything in his power to prevent...

    This is standard operating procedure. Any former president is addressed this way.

    Mario question

    They're not married because then the girls names would be Peach Mario and Daisy Mario. And that would just be silly. :p

    Bookmooch?

    So we FINALLY put up our wall of bookshelves, and immediately covered it with books, video games, DVDS, more books, graphic novels, action figures and (ahem) my little ponies. Some of our books suck. Hand me downs, dollar purchases, recommended and reviled, etc. So the gf has been putting...

    Who do you trust for game reviews?

    I watch X-Play, read Gamespot.com and GameFaqs.com and will also go to gamerankings.com or ign.com if I really want another review. X-Play does suck now, but Adam and Morgan can still give you a decent idea of a game. They're familiar enough that we already know their gaming biases and they...

    Worst Continuity

    Star Trek - I'm not a die-hard Trekkie, but I've seen just about every episode of every TV show, and every movie. Haven't read the novels. While I'm sure inconsistencies pop up, they pretty much went out of their way to write the new movie INTO continuity even though its a reboot. Star Wars -...

    Prison Break Season Finale

    Sorry. I just watched the finale tonight. SPOILERS ABOUND. I thought this season was a bit of a mess, especially once Bellick and Roland bit it. The last few episodoes in particular were snoozefests, as they spent more time on the villains mom and Baldy, rather than keeping the focus on the...

    Am I the only one who hates Betrayal at House on the Hill? (Forked Thread)

    Do any of you guys who are underwhelmed want to sell/trade your game for msrp or less? So I can try it and decide if I'm underwhelmed too? :p

    Jan '09: What Are You Playing?

    Now that Fallout 3 has been put away I went back to the original Fable to maybe finish up so I can play Fable 2. I got myself Dead Rising (and um, Conan) in a bargain bin, but I haven't played them yet. I got Uncharted and Bully for Xmas and I've put them in my system for a good wander...

    Fallout 3 - Today's the day!

    Sad but true. I put 120 hours into this game. The first time I've done that in who knows how long. And it has the WORST video game ending of all time. The amount of suck rolled into this ending is unbelievable. Railroady, contradictory, anticlimactic, short and ugly. GAH.

    Any games to get excited about in 2009?

    oh, and Batman: Arkham Asylum - it looks like Bioshock with Batman. and the best rogues gallery of any hero.

    Any games to get excited about in 2009?

    God of War 3 - (PS3) because Kratos is probably the best video game character ever. Because his vengeance is everything. Because this mauling of Greek mythology at least captures the epicness of it all. Because Kratos is a bad-asses bad-ass who actually has an origin story for being a bad-ass...

    Prison Break - 4th Season

    I love Prison Break. I'm two weeks behind, so I didn't immediately read this for fear of spoilers, but Prison Break is the best genre show around. It is without a doubt, the show most like an RPG game, with the planning, the suprise twists, and the cliffhangers.

    October '08: What Are You Playing?

    I finished Force Unleashed. Its pretty buggy, the Star Destroyer sequence is a wee bit frustrating, and the last two turns to the story are a little redundant but overall, I enjoyed the pretty Star Wars cutscenes and nods to Star Wars history. This felt more Star Warsy too me than a lot of the...

    October '08: What Are You Playing?

    Finished Kameo: fun little Rare platformer with one or two levels where the wonky controls took away from the experience. Also, the story wasn't as epic as it wanted or needed to be. started Force Unleashed : its...ok? its pretty, but I feel both the story and the gameplay are a little...

    Heroes: (Volume Three: Villains) The Second Coming--Season Premiere

    we have a winner. this is why I watch. and this is the main reason I bash. I've said all along that Heroes is everything I love about comic and everything I hate about comics compressed into 60 minutes. This premiere episode crammed in so much more stuff, with zero buildup so none of it had...
