Holiday Gift Guide 2009: Fortress of Redemption
December 21, 2009 By
Suppose you’re planning for the apocalypse and you need a scale model of a fortification to defend your worldly possessions. Suppose too that you need this model to double as a base for your tiny toy soldiers. There is only one solution and it is the Dark Angels Fortress of Redemption
Holiday Gift Guide 2009: sports pack
December 20, 2009 By
Here’s the thing about sports games: they are an illness. You can spend days and weeks turning your team into a dynasty only to dump them and start from scratch with a whole new team. You spend hours stocking your farm system with players who will likely never see a major league pitch.

You are sick. So am I.

December 16, 2009 By
Huzzah and muhalo. When you hunger for a meel fit for a king, you should eat a meal fit for a king. England’s own Apex Catering offers authentically prepared medieval banquets for groups even exceeding 500. This isn’t a froofy renaissance fair crapfest starring folklore majors who haven’t showered since their junior year. This is the real McCoy (or Plantaginet, as it were).
Holiday Gift Guide 2009: Carcassonne
December 15, 2009 By
Carcassonne
I have no idea how this game eluded me for so long. It’s easy to learn, no players are eliminated, scores can fluctuate madly at the end of the game if you strategize correctly…it is fun and a half.
Super Awesome Day 2009 Holiday Gift Guide
December 14, 2009 By
If Christmas has taught us anything, it’s that gifts are an extremely important measure of one’s self worth. Super Awesome Day, now in its fifth awesome year, is even more focused on commerce. Its convenient location on the calendar a full 24 hours after December 25th makes it ideally suited for last minute shopping.
