You know what’s an absolute pain? Adding roughly 30 people to your Brawl roster. And then, coordinating and poking and nudging until they finally add you back. Also, attempting to reason with those that are hurt when you don’t feel like adding them because they are relatively new EvAv members and you haven’t participated in […]
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
It is in hand. Well, in bag. Urban Dead might just be taking a back seat for a while. As will other video games. And my friends. And probably my family. And pretty much any social interaction of any kind. Plus, eating.
Three-way chess
I used to play a lot of chess with a good friend of mine from school. He and I (and obviously, some other fool) would likely get a huge kick out of getting the opportunity to play three-way chess. That is simply too beautiful for words. Full instructions can be found here.
Still playing Urban Dead, death merely a speed bump
I had a friend email me and ask if I was done playing Urban Dead now that I had died. Au contraire, mon ami. The game has only begun. That would insinuate that I’m now roaming around as a zombie, terrorizing survivors and nibbling tasty brain remnants. This is actually not the case. I got […]
Gary Gygax has passed
Image from the official Wizards D&D site. Remembrance of times past currently underway over at Evil Avatar. He was a great man, a visionary gamer, and will be sorely missed. Keep rollin’ twenties, friend. Keep rollin’ those twenties….
I’m dead, Jim
Looks like I shouldn’t have slept last night. Or at the very least, I should have dragged my butt out of the hot zone. Just another day in Malton.
Urban Dead – still fun
It’s been a couple of weeks since I first starting playing the HTML-based survival horror game with a substantial group from Evil Avatar, but I have to admit, I’m still having fun. By this point with most games I play, I’ve already sucked all the entertainment value out of it and am ready to ditch […]
Champions Online!
So, first they sold the City of Heroes/Villains franchise to NCSoft, and then they got the Marvel MMO pulled out from under their feet. Now what’s a studio like Cryptic that only knows superheroes supposed to do? Why, that’s easy! Create a brand new superhero MMORPG based on an ancient pen and paper game license! […]
Urban Dead: it’s like a text-based ‘Night of the Living Dead’…kinda
So, I’ve been hooked on Urban Dead since sometime last week. It’s essentially an HTML interface survival horror game, with emphasis on the “survival”, and not so much on the “horror”. You join hundreds thousands lots of people online in a persistent world that is one large, sprawling city. You gather up with a group […]
A photo of my shame
Some may doubt my wife’s gaming prowess. May I submit to you proof that my wife is indeed, “1337”. In the photo below, my wife’s Mii is the one in the orange hat with shades. She has left me with, what, five top scores? Out of nearly thirty? A paltry sum, I declare, but I […]
