I have been playing a lot of different games lately and I figured I should take a minute and share some thoughts.

We haven't gotten around to talking about Castlevania: Lords of Shadow yet, but it ain't for lack of love. In fact, it's fair to say that this thing has rendered us more or less speechless.

Kirby's Epic Yarn is effective, not merely as an electronic entertainment product but also as a time machine.

Today on PATV, a new Blamimation, featuring timely returns to your favorite sketchencomedich.  

In case you missed it, our online store is back and we are taking pre-orders for the PATV DVD. If you liked the show then I think you will really appreciate all the extra stuff we packed into the DVD. Check it out:

Having sons means (among other things) that we can buy things "for" those sons that we might not purchase for ourselves. I think Invizimals probably fits somewhere into that scheme.

DOTA's Icefrog is a bastard?  The terrible, true story of Mythic's dissolution?     

More Precipice, and I'm sorry it's late.  I usually write these at night, which feels appropriate, but my son, my daughter, and my wife are all sick, and when my daughter cries over the monitor it's like I've been electrocuted.  I can't put any kind of thought together, let alone two thoughts, and this installment has many thoughts in sequence.  

I was able to purchase a copy of Gamma World from a “Premiere Store” near my house last weekend and I ran the game on Monday for my normal group. We have been playing the same campaign now with the same characters for nearly two years so this was sort of a break. I’ve spoken to all of them and we’re playing Gamma World again next Monday as well. Defeating Tiamat may have to wait a few weeks while we stomp Badders and dig through ancient junk.

This one hardly needs a preface. Sometimes, the comic is word for word true.

Gabe really does have a bat! A real bat, just hangin' up in the eaves and devourin' thousands of insects every night. You might be surprised to learn how codified the process is for keeping and encouraging bats, I wasn't aware this is something one did, but I'm overjoyed to live in a world more interesting than I previously thought. There are those who find their impish faces and split noses vile, but that's not my demo. Bats are my favorite mammals by a wide margin, and yes, I'm aware that humans are mammals.

Today on PATV we've got some of the deleted scenes from the Upcoming DVD (which is available for preorder!).  They're cuts from the PAX East episode.    

Cold Stone is generally a dessert, but it can also be a meal - the one by us will fold forest mushrooms, prosciutto, Black Forest ham, and gravy ice cream into a savory mass. This kind of versatility is what makes it so core to our Identity as a people.

Brian has essentially killed himself getting things going, but it's ready for you now.  A few noteworthy additions, since it's been away:

(Trigger Warning for attempts to coerce laughter through foul language, Dungeons, Dice rolling, contempt for Hydra’s bodily autonomy,Dragons,)

As I mentioned after PAX, it was my great honor to write lyrics and a vocal melody about Warmachine, the thunderous tabletop wargame from Privateer Press. Well, that track is now available to download on the Xbox if you're keen, with a PSN version to follow shortly. Privateer Press is also donating all proceeds from the track to Child's Play, which is compounds the honor I felt in serving them previously. Since they won the song at the Child's Play Charity Dinner and Auction to begin with, donating the earnings off the track is incredibly generous. They've created something like a donation engine, now.
