Couple starves real child while raising virtual child
Posted by: Foo_Guevara

Oh, how the Koreans love their video games. The couple in this story left their child to die of malnutrition. They returned home from a 12 hour session of playing Prius Online to find their 3 month old daughter dead from starvation. GG.
Too bad the game looks lame. | |

Best video ever, of the day, right now.

Sit back and soak in this series of clips from Deadly Prey. If Panaman could write, direct, and star in one movie, this would be it.

Need a proxy? Use Google app engine!

There's a great little tutorial I found, linked off of Lifehacker about how to leverage Google apps to create your own proxy. Definitely going to be using this to supplement my own home internet connection which is spotty at best. Give it a shot, looks pretty cool.

Game Review - Command and Colors: Ancients
Posted by: Foo_Guevara
|
Up for review this week is GMT Game's Command and Colors: Ancients. CCA is most definitely a war game, but to be more precise, it's a card-driven block war game. This is a breed apart from the standard grognard staple of hex and chit. This is not the first game to employ either blocks, or card-driven mechanics, but it's definitely my personal favorite of the genre. CCA is expanded by an entire line of similarly titled games that hope to recreate ancient battles on the tabletop, all within a reasonable amount of play time, and with a very simple set of core rules that will apply across all of the expansions.
Within the game box, you will find a clearly written rule book, a book full of scenarios that cover the time period of the battles between the Romans and Carthaginians, two well designed quick reference folios, a game board, some terrain overlays, and enough wooden blocks ...Read more...

On display was a soon to be released game called Conflict of Heroes: Awakening the Bear. You just didn't see this kind of crowd at the other war games booths like Multiman Publishing, or Avalanche Press. Until this time, war games were things that I would buy and look at on my shelf while wishing I had friends who could see how fun pushing stacks of tiny pieces of cardboard around a paper map could be.
The game designer, Uwe Eickert and his son Gunther were giving demos, and showing off this beautiful game. Let me stress beautiful. The game consists of gorgeous mounted map boards which can be arranged in many different configurations, as well as 1" square, thick tiles representing units. I won't call them chits, these things ar...Read more... (3610 bytes more) | |
