Action Castle
Cottage > You are standing in a small cottage. There is a fishing pole here. Exits are: Out One of the big buzz items from PAX East last weekend was Gabe & Tycho’s impromptu live playing of Action Castle. Before I even saw the video, I had to order it from Memento Mori. What is…

APPraisal: SIRIUS XM Premium Online
I only do APPraisals on apps I personally found interesting or useful enough to try. I don’t always end up liking every app, but I don’t buy or download something just to review it. I was hesitant to discuss the SIRIUS XM Premium Online app, though, because it requires a subscription on top of the…

Papercraft Friday #80: Professor Layton and the Curiously Diabolical Papercraft
Fans of the Nintendo DS Professor Layton puzzle game series might take a keen interest in this one.

The Arcade Ambiance Project
I saw an article the other day on Kotaku about the Arcade Ambiance Project. I finally got a chance to check it out, and wow, what a fun idea. Andy Hofle decided that the room containing his MAME cabinet lacked a little of that crowded arcade sound you may recall (if you’re old enough!) from…

Papercraft Friday #79: SSBB Mario
Paperkraft.net posted a model this week of one of the most detailed paper Mario models I’ve seen, created by Ignatius. He’s modeled in his classic pose from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Definitely not for the beginner papercraft modeler, but it appears to be well worth the effort for the experienced modeler and game enthusiast. Awesome!…

Robert Culp: 1930-2010
I just read that Robert Culp died yesterday. While I can’t say he was my favorite actor of all time, I can say that I’ve seen him in so many things that I’m glad to have known him through his work. I’m sure you are to0. Not sure? Maybe you remember him as: Kelly Robinson…
