My Adventures As A Different Kind Of RPG Wizard
For the past few weeks, I’ve been playing a very different kind of RPG. There aren’t any Paladins, or orcs, or castles, or magic, or even potions. There are just ten sweaty men doing battle in an arena. It’s one of the best RPGs I’ve ever played. The game I’m talking about is NBA2K15, which…

The 42-player, AI-only Civilization game that’s currentlygoing down is already one of the most amazing things the Civilization community — no sloucheswhen it comes to weird and wonderful spins on the game — has come up with.

Spider-Man’s Dead Girlfriend Is a Kick-Ass Superhero Now

But the ‘Gwen’ part of her moniker highlights the most potentially exciting aspect of her: she’s an alternate version of Gwen Stacy, a character most famous for how she died. Forty-two years ago, Spider-Man lost a…

VR Demo Brings Shark Nightmare To life
I’m tremendously excited about virtual reality’s potential. We’ll be able to visit far-off worlds and have experiences that haven’t even been dreamed up yet! If I was making a top ten list of things I wanted to better understand through VR, however, a shark attack wouldn’t be on it. As part of a promotion for…
