NaNoWriMo: On The Verge Of Madness
You know that thing when you are dreading something — a doctor’s visit, final exams, the last day of vacation — and then suddenly time starts pushing you with all gusto toward that event while you dig your heels in and scream for it to slow down? That’s exactly how this week has felt for …
Fallen Earth: Definitions
Fallen Earth has the unerring tendency to make me laugh with its quest dialogue, including this little exchange I had earlier today:

The Fate of Torchlight
Like many of you, I’ve been gorging a bit on Torchlight, and feel absurdly pleased as to what it accomplishes — it looks great, runs even better, and is a delightful mindless Dialbo-esque experience. Since several of my peers have jawed about this at length, I’m going to leave my review as “great game, can’t …
