You wouldn’t think it needed to be repeated, but friend Adam Creighton has a thought-provoking post on video games, morality, and how never forget is being slowly forgotten. Thanks, Adam.

AAAAHH! Coolness.

I’m making a note here: huge success.

How D&D Changed My Life

Great article about the too-seldom discussed benefits of D&D. I love living in a world where the nerds and geeks ultimately won. Excelsior!

I’m thinking this would be a TON of fun to terrorize an audience with in Waco Hall.

No Magic Will Save This One

I got Erin the Lego Harry Potter (Years 1-4) for our Wii and we’ve been playing through it as a team. It’s been fun to introduce Erin to platformers and she’s gotten pretty good at managing the dual handed control system (moving with the left thumb and aiming/shooting with the “wand”). Since she’s such a HP fan it’s very engaging for her. Unfortunately, the game has already had 2 showstopping freezes accompanied by an annoyingly loud buzz from the console that requires a full hard reset. I looked online and saw that a bunch of people had this problem and that even if you endure through the increasingly frequent crashes the game traps you in a room at the end where you can’t finish. The publisher (Traveller’s Tales) is ignoring the problem in spite of a growing call to fix it and replace the discs.

It’s a bummer because we were really having fun playing it for an hour or so each night. It’s not often when a guy’s wife practically begs him to play video games with her. Nuts to Traveller’s Tales and their bad coding.

The Sextagonal Shape of Things To Come

Thingiverse posts 3d print files to print out your own Catan board. Legal uproar follows. Legal? Seems to be, but we’ll see more and more of this in coming days.

What’s more hardcore than building a full set of HALO armor? How about a three year project build seven full sets? Amazing.
