Psylocke Joins the ‘Ultimate Alliance’

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

The Marvel hit parade continues as a new character is added to Ultimate Alliance 2 via DLC.  This time, it’s the psi-blade-wielding action grrl, Psylocke:
Carnage was pretty cool, but I’m really glad Psylocke’s getting a shot at Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2.

You Think You Can Outrun ‘Scene It? Twilight’?!

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

Scene It? has never been my game.  For a few years, the only copy we owned focused on Disney films specifically; my little sister schooled me at this every single time we played.  Then, I discussed the game with Natalie, who has apparently had grown men run screaming rather than face her at the table.  [...]

For Old Roffles We Forgot

Monday, December 29th, 2008

Something about this time of year that really brings out the nostalgia in me. Now I’ve never been one for resolutions or that sort of New Year’s tradition, but no matter how much I try I can’t escape the inevitable realization that with each coming year my childhood slips a little bit further away.
