  • Dear Readers: MAGFest 5

    Columns Columns by Paul Franzen on

  • Dear Readers: The Janish

    Columns Columns by Paul Franzen on

    I really want to go to bed right now. It's warm. I almost said that it's warm and inviting, but then I realized how cliched that sounds. So I decided to say that it's just warm. Have I mentioned yet that I'm a little tired? I'd like to go to bed, but I can't—not until this column is finished, at least.

  • Top of the Heap: Religious Games (Part One)

    Columns Columns by Christian Porter on

    Since the beginning of time, or of videogames, at least, no games have sucked with the kind of consistence that religious games have. I’m kicking this column off with a big genre, so we’ll do this in two parts and look at half of the games this time and the other half next month.

  • Games for the Casual Gamer: Guild Wars

    Columns Columns by Danielle Symonds-Yemm on

    Being a new year and all that jazz, it's time to do the usual resolution list. Translation: Make a bunch of self-promises whilst drunk, and break them within five days. OK, so I might be exaggeratin

My naivety regarding just how closed down and deserted my city would be on the 2nd and 3rd caused my original plan for this article to go awry, and now I sit here at 4 a.m. with a scant few hours to come up with an idea. And yet I don't.
