Now, of course Super Sonic can fly anywhere in the sense that he hovers off the ground whenever he hits a certain speed. That’s not what I’m talking about though. I’m talking about him being a good distance off the ground and flying straight ahead through the air. It only works in a specific location, [...]
Note I left roleplaying out of the title of this article. We have enough online rpgs to last a lifetime, unless a new one comes along that is substantially different from the current hackfests infesting the genre. And yes, I’m sick of the genre again, and likely will be for awhile. That’s the motivation for [...]
This article is geared more toward games that take place in a setting that takes many realistic concerns, such as having a job, into account. As such, it may apply more to systems like Shadowrun or the Storyteller System and less to systems like D&D. However, some of this advice is likely to be good [...]
Hey everyone, great news! Red Alert 3 is easing off on DRM!
Except, not really. Sure, you don’t need the CD to play anymore, and that’s a cool feature.

Unfortunately, it still has enough DRM measures that I’m just not willing to shell out the money for it.
First, it still uses SecuROM. (edit: broken [...]
My friends know I love to run high powered games, and if you’ve been reading for awhile, it’s likely you’ve picked up on this too. So now the question is, what’s so appealing about these games, and what draws me back to them?
There are three main things I like about high powered games.
1) I like [...]
Among my friends, it’s no secret I like my roleplaying games supercharged with epic, end of the world plotlines that cast the players as superpowerful heroes who need to save it… or among my more evil inclined players, help bring it along to it’s destruction. Everyone knows level 30 in BESM was a bad plan [...]
In fighting games, there’s a wonderful trap some people, myself included, fall into. That’s trying to win the fight with a perfect victory, or trying to avoid having our opponent get a perfect victory against us.
