    Games that are more fun to play than to read

    Stargate Sg-1 RPG by AEG. Use a Heavy version of the Spycraft rules. The book and supplements read very well (and were actually sanctioned by the producers and were thus 'canon' to a point), loved all the info on System lords and the ones you heard about but never saw. Its just that the...

    Civ 5, just one more turn...

    I must admit, I am a little disappiointed. Some thoughts below: *I was expecting a cool cut scene when I was going for the Scientific Victory. You only get a stock 'photo' and a bit of an explanation. *The AI isnt very bright. It seems to have no grasp at all of how to wage battle (not that...

    Good Old Games: Baldur's Gate and Planescape Torment

    Yeah its a great site. They caused a lot of grief some days back though when they said they were shutting down. There was a lot of blood in the water for a couple of days. As for Torment, it does rank up there on my list of great games, but Pool of Radiance GOLD BOX is still my top dog of D&D...

    SMALLVILLE #1: Lazarus/Final Season--2010

    Holy Frak. I saw a Season 1 episode the other day , and then just last night Lazarus. It's hard to believe its even the same show!. It was interesting to see Lex Luthor starting to get some plot lines again, but I think the producers are fooling themselves if they thinks that Michael R is ever...

    New TV Season starts tonight! Chuck, Hawaii 5-0, Castle and others!

    I think the issue with HIMYM is that the search for the mother is probably the weakest part of the show. Sometimes its barely mentioned and sometimes the show concentrates too much on the 'escapades of Barney' and loses itself. The problem with concentrating on Barney is that the character was...

    Fallout New Vegas

    Less than a Month to go now before this is out. Does anyone know if they are going to keep the hack computer to learn style of plot progression? I kinda miss the audio tape style too. Ive read that the gambling mini games are also interesting and you can get thrown out of a Casino for being...

    Thoughts on Nikita & Terriers

    Well , Im still a bit puzzled. I know La Femme Nakita wasnt just on tv, but it honestly dosnt seem like that long ago. and there is another Nikita already? As Im in Australia both of these shows will likely appear late at night if at all, and I wont watch them that late. That and they will both...

    Post here when the darksun stuff goes live on DDI

    DDI has always been set up for updates to occur monthly. It's worked fairly well for over a year or more now. The fact is the updates do keep up with releases. This isnt a Windows product with automatic updates anyplace any time, its a product that takes time to update with new product so we...

    Post here when the darksun stuff goes live on DDI

    Terrible service? Oh wait.. I forgot about the 'right now, screw later' generation. It's great service, to be honest. So far Ive found DDI to be a very worthy investment. The Monster builder and Character Builder are 2 products I would of purchased outside of DDI in any respect. If you cant...

    Rate The Expendables

    It's hardly the definitive movie though. It lacks Jean Claude Wesley Snipes and drumroll Steven Segal. You could also include Kurt Russell.

    Oooold TV Show: Mortal Kombat Conquest

    Seems old. I guess I never saw it the first time. Should I of instead said a show from Last Century? :) .. then it sounds really old. Nice Crying out loud Jack reference :)

    Oooold TV Show: Mortal Kombat Conquest

    Hi, recently I uncoverd this at a Garage Sale (dvd series set) and sat down to watch. I think I recognised one of the actors who played Siro from the 2nd Matrix movie.. not sure of his name. Has anyone else ever seen this? So far Ive seen Shang Tsung, Scorpion (with a different origin approach...

    Doctor Who question

    Jcayer: Why is that sad? Ive seen a LOT of Dr Who, way back to black n white days. You are correct that Romana was trapped in Espace. I dont know that anyone counts the Big Audio Finish adventures as Canon (Look at the Gallifrey series for Romana), so yeah she is stuck there with K9. Im...

    Doctor Who question

    The Eye of Harmony was a Created Black Hole which powered Gallifrey and the Tardis's. The Tardis itself has a link to this blackhole (again referred to in the past as the Eye of Harmony). With the timelock in place said eye can no longer power any Tardis, thus the need for a new power source.

    Doctor Who question

    It was established in the 'Classic' Series that the Dr could not travel into the past of Gallifrey. This I believe was deliberately set in place by Rassilon, the 'founder' of the Time Travel tech. This can be noted in that the Doctor never visits Gallifrey at a point previous to an earlier...
