Hey everyone! It's been a long time since I've posted, and I just wanted to throw a quick note up here kind of explaining where things are at right now. I started this blog 5 years ago as I was just turning 30. At the time, it was just me and my wife, in our house with lots of spare time to be able to dedicate to whatever it is that we wanted to do. I decided to take up writing about my

Sorry guys, we had a podcast lined up to record on Saturday but ran into a problem when our littlest contributor showed us what was inside her belly... every 15 minutes. For 5 hours. We'll try again next week! - Patrick

We've been working the past few months at re-branding the site, getting ready to podcast.  Soon that will be a reality.  You can visit here to listen to our latest thoughts on all things gaming, and soon be able to find us on iTunes and other media distribution sites.  Thank you everyone for coming with us on this journey so far.  We're still here, we're still gaming, and

We're done with Day 1 on the Gen Con floor and it was just INSANE. There's so much good out there this year, and not enough time to stand in the lines to get it all.  So let's get down to it! Space Cadets:Dice Duels is a lot of fun While waiting in line to get into the con early, we met up the designer of Space Cadets, and he just happened to be carrying his new game with him

The dealer hall for Gen Con 2013 will be opening in a little less than 48 hours, so it's time to put up our list of things that you are going to want to try to get your hands on as soon as possible before they all end up selling out.  These are the Gen Con 2013 Ones to Watch. Trains - AEG Trains is a deck building game that incorporates building a railway on a board.  You can

Gencon is known for having events that just cannot be missed.  After months of scouring over the event catalog, we've put together a list of the events that we think are going to be the ones that everybody will want to get into.  If there's anything that we missed, do not hesitate to let us know in the comments! True Dungeon   This year is True Dungeon's 10th anniversary,

Gen Con 2013 is less than two weeks away, and it's a very exciting time for VG30.  As table top gamers, there is no other event that we look forward to more, and right now table top gaming is HUGE.  Last year's attendance was 41,000, more than a 12% increase in attendance from the year prior.  It is easily the largest gaming convention in the US, and it's just getting bigger and

In growing older, I've come to appreciate the father / daughter bond that forges over time.  While I don't understand the full complexities of it just yet, I do recognize that there's something very special and unique about it.  The Last of Us explores this bond in a post zombie apocalypse, because when's better to establish a relationship?

E3 2013 happened this week, and if you're even remotely connected to any one of the numerous gaming forums, blogs, and news sites, you pretty well know what happened.  For those of you who don't have their pulse on the gaming world, Sony more or less completely invalidated Microsoft's strategy and were declared the winner of next generation before it's even happened. Friends know me as a

E3 2013 is upon us, and we've got some predictions what the Big Three will be talking about this time around the block. Current Gen First off, this will be the last we see of the current generation of consoles.  There will likely be a couple of gems hidden in there.  Many consoles have that one game that was released towards the end of its lifespan that people didn't pick up

If you haven't played Bioshock: Infinite by the time you're reading my review, would you kindly stop.  Go get the game, pop it in, and explore the world that is Columbia.  You don't need any knowledge of the first two games to enjoy it, and you'll be doing yourself a disservice by spending one more minute reading about the game instead of experiencing it.  It's that good, and is

In February we took a look at 20 projects on Kickstarter, where they were at, and what kind of problems they were having.  It's been a month, let's take a look at where everyone is at now. The Order of the Stick Reprint Drive - We received a new work-o-meter detailing what he's been doing, a new comic, and Rich fulfilled a promise to go several days straight in the regular comic.

With Bioshock Infinite coming out next week, I decided to go back and play Bioshock 2.  I had put this one off for some time as it didn't have as many positive reviews as the first one in the series, but I wanted to see what this one had to offer and the fact that it was free through Playstation Plus gave me little reason to not give it a try.

March means three things: College Basketball, Shamrock Shakes, and games worth actually paying attention to.  And boy, are there some massive titles to look forward to this month.  Let's take a look at March's Ones to Watch. Tomb Raider - Multi Platform - 3/5/13 Tomb Raider caught all eyes at E3 2011 when this franchise reboot hit the screens.  We explore Lara Croft's
