I must have missed this SNL skit. Thanks NBC.com for putting it on the net!

Frag, "If it moves, shoot it"

Yet another great Steve Jackson game. This board game is a first person shooter computer game put onto a map with cards, figures, dice, and a little bit of chance. This game does a great job of simulating the computer by using cards - even allowing hacks! That’s right, there are special cards that allow you to “hack” into the computer and make your self see through walls or what not. Weapons spawn in specified locations, and when landing on a weapon space you take a card from the weapons deck.

It’s one hell of a good time. If you can get at least 2 other friends to play with, this game is a great way to go with a minimal amount of time spent learning rules (it helps to know how to divide though).
The game is 2-8 players, but I recommend having at least 3 people playing to avoid spending half your time running across the map to meet each other. Although, you could set up the map to work for 2 players, it would take some tweaking though.

Expansions add to the fun by introducing new maps, weapons, hacks, and rules for explosive barrels and what not. I’ve got all of ‘em except for the western setting called “Frag, Deadlands.” Good times ahead for anyone interested in spicing up their game nights.

God of War



God of War has to be one of my all time favorite Playstation titles. Honestly, some of the most visualy rewarding boss battles in videogame history. Check it out for yourself.

During my most recent stay in Japan, winter of 07/08, I stayed at a lovely hotel. Have a look.

Warhammer Age of Reckoning

WAR hasn’t been pulling me back in much lately. I've grown a bit tired of guild politics and server populations. Primarily logging on and trying to queue up for a scenario that never pops. Although, I have been having fun soloing with my Iron Breaker, I still don’t feel comfortable in this new guild. The guys are cool, I guess I just miss Good ‘ol B&B. Even the B&B website is gone, guild bank was raided, and the whole fiasco just ruined my will to play.
Probably won’t log on much unless my friends will be on.

I should probably worry about this after Finals are over.

My Plans for this Site

So I've put this site together with a few plans in mind.

1) To inform my D&D players of campaign news and provide easy access to character sheets & other tools.

2) To post some fun things about Japan, Japanese, or whatever pops into my feeble brain.

I just might have to split them up into two seperate sites or maybe it'll all work out. We'll see how it goes.
