Christianity and Board games ... a great Podcast.

Check out The Dice Steeple a Podcast by Tom Vassel discussing Christianity and Board Gaming .. tackling some great subjects.   Highly recommended.

Jurassic 3D .. Good or Bad?

Ok, I had the movie bug, which strangely happens every Friday night.. can't figure that one.   Anyway, there was a lack of choices for anything new coming out, so I went to Jurassic 3D.   Why Jurassic when I can pick this up relatively cheap for a few bucks at Walmart?   Because its in 3D and its got dinosaurs... if there is any movie that deserves 3D Love it would be this one.   It's not going to be a Top Gun 3D 'moneygrab'.  

Well, my verdict is this .. go and see it in 3D if you have not seen the movie in some time (such as myself .. haven't see this in years) and/or you have teens that have not yet seen the movie.   It is the best way to see a dino movie.    Is the 3D THAT good?   Well its better than most, and better than watching it in 2D.   Now don't forget that this version doesn't clean up the story, but I still had a good time.   Again, not seeing this movie in 15 years aided my enjoyment.   Also, the Dino's do stand the test of time, which is a credit to Spielburg and the animators.  

Go see it, enjoy.   First time in a while I heard audiences clapping after a movie.   Good stuff.

Romulans coming to Star Trek Online

Check out the upcoming expansion coming to Star Trek Online .. Romulans!!    Ok, this isn't really a surprise because lets face it, fans have been clamoring for Romulans in STO since the game first launched.    Thankfully they waited until now to do this, because I think that they will actually do this race justice.    STO had a rough start from the beginning, I know since I have a lifetime sub to it, and have heard all the outrage about the game when Cryptic first released it.    But since the change to free to play indeed over time, this game continues to grow in quality and in following.    It is a very good solid MMO.   The release of the Romulan Expansion is a testament to a growing playerbase, and Perfect World/Cryptic's commitment to the game.   

 

Fantasy from Mercs coming soon.

So the Mercs guys are also dabbling in a fantasy motif called Myth .. soon to be on Kickstarter.    Good for them.   Check out the article from Beastsofwar.com

Also the MERCS forums.   Facebook.

More MERCS is also on their plans, including a dice game, rpg etc... that the developers hope their Kickstarter (MYTH) will bring in enough cash to develop.    Awesome.   I hope they make tons of cash.

I just received two more MERC factions in the mail, Sedafu, and Kemvar.   I think these will be the last ones I get for awhile.    My goal was to have enough variety to bring these suckers out to play, as well as have enough that other players can try out MERCS themselves.   I also think that my desire to paint mini's has finally been satiated.
