APPraisal: Peggle
‘Appy Monday again. Today’s post is about the iPhone/iPod Touch version of Peggle by PopCap games. While I’ve been well aware of the internet phenom that Peggle has been since its original release in 2007, I admit that I never actually played it until I bought it off the app store.

Papercraft Friday #60: Doctor Who Cybershade
Last week saw the release of the new Doctor Who series 2008 Christmas Special Doctor Who: The Next Doctor on DVD. Now that you’ve had a chance to buy it and watch it (you have… haven’t you?), you can download and build this Cybershade mask featured in the story. The mask build is rather crude…

Book Impressions: A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin
I think I’ve mentioned that I’ve gotten some of my reading inspiration over the past year or more from the reading selections of The Sword and Laser group.

Game Impressions: The Beatles: Rock Band
Introduction It’s been a hard day’s night, and I’ve been strumming like a dog. I didn’t intend to pick up The Beatles: Rock Band. At least, not right away. I played the original Rock Band a little, but never got really into it. Rock Band 2, on the other hand, I played and played. While…
