Zeg The Invincible Dalek Versus The Karkus - Who Would Win?
We only have fourteen hours in which to save the Earth!The other day I started watching season 4 of The Flash, and . . . I got as far as the four-part crossover. Honestly, I think I have lost interest in Arrow, The Flash, and maybe even superheroes in general. The first two seasons of The Flash were fun and good, and I do still like several of the ( Read more... ) -
Charisma Is What Makes Role-Playing Special
We come in peace, shoot to kill . . .One of my favourite rules in D&D is the reaction roll. Put simply, upon encountering a monster or NPC a roll is made to see how they will react to the party of adventurers. The roll is on 2d6, with 2 indicating an automatic attack, 3-5 general hostility, 6-8 neutral, 9-11 more positive, and 12 enthusiastic ( Read more... ) -
Be The Envy Of Minor NPCs
The first ten million years were the worst. - Marvin (The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy)
Dogmeat will never judge you. He will always be there for you, and never hurt you. Codsworth, on the other hand, adds a whole new meaning to the term friendly fire. It goes beyond flying through an open door to attack a raider you were going to sneak up on ( Read more... ) -
Keeping Vampire Hours Again
Oh brilliantLet's be honest. Changing the timeslot for Doctor Who in the UK is understandable, given the circumstances. The consequences on the international audience, however, are not good. A Sunday airdate over there means the episodes will be on ABC iView here Monday morning. I had expected the airdate here to be the following Saturday; there is ( Read more... ) -

When A Test Of Morality Is Not
War doesn't decide who is right, only who is left.Why even bother blowing up Megaton in Fallout 3? Rigging the unexploded nuclear bomb to explode is the most evil act in the game, causing 1,000 points to be deducted from your Karma. Except that there is no reason to do so. You can disarm the bomb easily, at the start of the game, and get immediate ( Read more... ) -
Who The Hell Removed Charisma As A Paladin Requirement?
You ask a lot of questions.I had planned on rebuilding Sanctuary as my character's home base. Now I am considering moving out, to get away from Preston's degenerates. After building beds, crops and defences for these losers, I go back into my character's house to rest and plan my next move. Only to find Sturges sitting on my couch, in front of my ( Read more... ) -
These Are The Squatters In Your Neighbourhood
War Never ChangesSo I finally got a new laptop, and it is capable of running Skyrim and Fallout 4 on Ultra settings. Runs hot while doing so, to the point where some of the keys are almost too warm to touch. Not a problem. Bad game design, now that's the problem ( Read more... ) -

This humble battlemage bids you welcome.In Oblivion, if you wanted to gain access to the enchanting and spellmaking facilities provided by The Arcane University, you had to do no less than seven Recommendation quests for the Mages Guild.

Sleep Cycle Gone Again
There were a few movies I wanted to see at the cinema. The weather is terrible lately, and I am sleeping vampire hours again. Which means I will have to wait for the DVD releases. Times like these, I appreciate the escapism of being able to cast Cure Disease on game characters. In other news, I have narrowed down the shortlist of possible ( Read more... )
