    The 'Boardgame Golden Age' keeps going ... and a couple of thoughts why that may be...

    If you haven't yet - try Pandemic. Really quite fun - the base game to start with (the expansions are good but without an understanding of the base game they are just a bit of confusion too soon, unless it's just the first expansion (can't remember their names) that allows for 6 players instead...

    Zero Punctuation: Unavowed

    Nice. On your quest for things to review that aren't sandboxes, maybe give Battle Chef Brigade a go? Mostly because I liked it and I think the comments you'd make about it will tickle me, but also because you might like it too, who knows.

    The 'Boardgame Golden Age' keeps going ... and a couple of thoughts why that may be...

    If you're really looking for a lovely, friendly introduction to a whole bunch of board games I suggest a Google of Table Top - it's a web show by Wil Wheaton and company and I've used it with most all my friends to show them how much fun we might have with some cardboard and a bit of imagination...

    Multiplayer games for you and your partner?

    Dragon's Crown just came out for PS4 in a remastered edition - which my husband and I enjoyed. Mind the scantily clad beauties that abound, but if she's not sensitive about that it's a fun one with pretty art.

    Horizon Zero Dawn [ spoilers? ]

    I enjoyed driving myself just a tiny bit insane tracking down all the little data files and making my little theories about just how things were before it all spun out on humanity.

    Wreck-It Ralph 2 Official Trailer

    Considering the entire first movie took place over one evening and one day at the arcade... I think they could manage a night out at the Internet without being missing the next morning for their games if they really wanted to. Although getting "home" from the Internet would be a good problem...

    Diversity in Fiction - Question

    In my opinion diversity (or, when appropriate, lack thereof) should be a function of the story in direct proportion to the setting the story takes place in and around. Put in a less convoluted way: if the world is diverse, the characters a player interacts with should be also - if a world is...

    Interactive Narrative Means Choosing How Invested You Really Want to Be

    I think this is a false assumption. It is for what calls me to games anyway. Challenge is not a large component in why I choose one game over another; story is the primary component in that process, actually. This wasn't always the case of course, and as I have gotten older I think I have...

    Well, the Warcraft movie is a bit rubbish.

    Oh yeah - I have watched Tabletop from the first - and I quite like the show. I quite like Wil Wheaton actually, even though you do make a point about his "wanna win" persona... I'm not sure if that's legit or a Colbert type thing though in the end. I have even read his book. Didn't know...

    Well, the Warcraft movie is a bit rubbish.

    The what with Tabletop? I'm obviously behind on something there. Not surprising I'm hardly on the pulse of the Internet news, but I am curious if you'd summarize? And yeah - we wondered it if was him at first too but no, just a resemblance.

    Well, the Warcraft movie is a bit rubbish.

    Pretty sure Wil Wheaton is no where appearing in that film. There's a young guy who looks like Wheaton did some years back a bit, but it isn't him. You're thinking of this guy...

    Well, the Warcraft movie is a bit rubbish.

    I said it in another thread but - I just saw it and I rather liked it. Even though I don't play WoW I enjoyed it, and my fiance who does play WoW (which is why we went) is excited enough that he just rolled up a new character (which I think is like his 20th or something... but who is counting...

    Warcraft - Keep Grinding

    Eh, I quite liked it actually and I don't play WoW but my fiance does (that's why we went obviously) - I felt it was a good enough fantasy movie to interest someone like myself and entertain, but clearly he got more out of it than I did because he's rolling up new characters right now. Lol...

    Fallout 4 Xbox One Mods "Stolen" From PC Modders

    I've been a console gamer most of my life from Nintendo back when I was a young one. In the past two years I've learned to play on PC and transitioned many of my games to the PC. I just used mods on a game for the first time month before last. I don't make mods myself. With that background...

    Is the Escapist dying?

    I can't answer the OP's question myself, but I guess here is as good as any a place to say why I am "leaving" (read: not renewing my subscription or coming around as often as I used to). I was going to make a long involved discussion of it, make a thread, etc. but I don't think anyone will...
