So, apparently, the Cylons didn’t really have one. It’s amazing, really. The Plan manages to make Battlestar Galactica – a series that prided itself on the fact that its four-season arc was completely unplanned – make even less sense. There were quite a few plot elements that felt rather forced …
Sometimes my faith in humanity is suddenly restored. We’re currently seeing some films at the Fantasy Film Fest, and the three films we saw so far have all been surprisingly awesome. They also all share a common and incredibly important subject matter: standing up to the powers that be. As …
Note: Verena and I are playing this game together, even though it’s a single-player game. You can read Verena’s review here. Remember how in the podcast I complained about the lack of good RPGs? Well, exactly one day after I recorded my complaint, we bought Divinity II: Ego Draconis. And? …
So, we saw Star Trek. I wanted to like it. With everyone raving about it like mad, I was really excited. And the result? Well, it was OK. There were good bits and bad bits. Let me go into detail. (WARNING: SPOILERS) The Positive: I can’t say that the film …
If you only see one movie this year, see The Boat That Rocked. It’s not about rock and roll – it is rock and roll. It is pure, unadulterated rock. It is funny, sexy, honest, touching, hilarious, heartwarming, silly, crazy and magical. It is perfect. It is a giant slap …

After playing The Witcher – one of the most highly acclaimed RPGs of the last few years – for a couple of hours, we just sent the following e-mail to our friend Ivo: Has there ever been a game with worse writing? Has there ever been a game that made …
There’s a new review of Desert Bridge that made me very happy: On first impression, the whole game feels playful and offbeat. All of the graphics are sketched in crayon with a passion for colour and oddity rivaling that of a six year old. All the characters and spaces are …
There’s a review of Desert Bridge up at Jay is Games which is so awesome that words simply fail me. Well, actually they don’t. Awesome is a pretty good word. And awesome it is. That being said, House at Desert Bridge is a wonderful work to behold. It’s a story …
I just noticed a user review of Desert Bridge in TIGdb, and felt I needed to remark on a couple of points it makes. I hope my posts about reviews don’t feel like I’m constantly being defensive; I’m mainly writing this to illuminate game design choices I made, in the …
