Crowdfunding is a blessing to the gaming community. We the gamers are now in complete control of what we will play. Take a browse through the Games section on Kickstarter.  People out there are waiting for backers for games that they spent countless hours dreaming over. Their entire future rests in fingers typing up credit card numbers and PayPal accounts.   It is absolutely stunning to look at the numbers. 85 cents of every dollar funded has gone to a successful game. However, one game out of every three that gets posted meets their quota. That means that...

Readers who have met me in real life know that I live for social interaction in games. It doesn’t even need to be an element of the mechanics, just present at the table in some form. If you’re the table that’s laughing and cutting up, that’s where I want to be. So I didn’t understand why so many gamers were so taken with playing games solo.

A person with an automatic weapon with a rate of fire of hundreds of rounds per minute is trying to kill you. What do you do? Why you charge towards that person doing a couple of acrobatic moves and slow motion flips and when you get close enough you chop that person in half with your samurai sword. Duh! I don't know what person in Hollywood was the first to come up with the notion that a cartwheel is such an unpredictable maneuver that it makes the acrobat an unhittable target but Sucker Punch certainly isn't the only...

 Hey kids, look! Rebuses!

Occasionally, I'll have to take a short leave of absence, so we can justify all the "Ken B.'s Back!" jokes. Hey, what can I say--I'm like that dude in the movie Summer School who gets up for a piss break on the first day of class and isn't seen again until the final exam. Then he ACES it, baby.
