What Really Is Happening To Games Workshop?
Nov 25th
For those of you that are unfamiliar with Games Workshop (GW), it is the powerhouse of the tabletop wargaming industry. They developed and published games such as Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40,000. GW has always had the industry firmly in its grasp, but recently things seem much less stable and there has been more uncertainty than ever before surrounding the company. But the question echoing in every wargamer’s head still remains. Is Games Workshop digging its own grave or is there something we are missing?
Games Workshop was founded in 1975 in London and was originally a generic board game developer, but More >

A very happy birthday to World of Warcraft! World of Warcraft(WoW) was released ten years ago on November 23, 2004 to the gaming community by Blizzard Entertainment and what a ten years it has been.

Oct 20th
With the Fan Festival for FFXIV over now for a couple days, I’ve finally been able to go back through all the exciting things that were released during these two hectic days.

That is the answer to the question of the next set of Heroclix from our masters…er, friends, loving friends at Wizkids! Hitting store shelves in less than a week, Deadpool is an 80+ figure set, and it has a crapton if people (myself included) very excited.

IMO: The Heroclix Watch List
May 7th
In a new series of articles on a number of different topics, IMO is exactly that. My opinion. Don’t feel compelled to make life altering decisions based on the crud that flows forthwith from my diseased brain. That being said, onwards to the oblivion that is my thought process.
Heroclix. It’s a game of wee plastic miniatures on a map. One that I play, and love, a whole bunch. It’s a turn based strategy game using characters from comic books, video games, and movies of the same basic genre. And while this is absolutely a game, clix’n is surious (yup) bidness. More >

Wiz Kids Makes A Trophy Girl Of Harley Quinn
Apr 21st
Recently DC has arguably gone through the ringer for sexualizing the character of Harley Quinn. Whether it was the new costume in Suicide Squad, where Harleen Quinzel shed her full body suit for a far more revealing and barely tied corset and short shorts, or the recent overly dramatized art contest, Harley has been admittedly given a lot more of a sexualized presence in the comics community. Some might point to her nurse outfit in the video game Batman: Arkham Asylum as being the starting point of this. Other might point fingers at DC Editorial, Marketing, Artists, or even fans More >
