I just watched Cool Hand Luke last night, which taught me two core life lessons. One, when you're playing Magic: The Gathering at least - "Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand.". The other is that s...

Christmas time is here again, and in Australia, while you're enjoying what could only be defined as a micro sized Ice Age - Aussies up north are enjoying the hottest part of the year, and it isn't the sh...

# Battle Cry was one of my most anticipated games this year, because as much as the big names of Essen are awesome, Battle Cry actually took a full on pre-emptive strike on its own street date down under....

#Okay, so a lot of you may have noticed not just that games are changing over the years, but so are the artworks put on the boxes. Take a look at pre-FFG Talisman 4th Edition: This looks less like a Fami...

If you haven't heard, Australia is pushing for an internet filter that blocks "RC" or Refused Classifications Material. That's not what most of this notice is about. The notice is about how I could only ...

# I have a mate I used to play a lot of games with in primary and high school. No, not that one I complain about usually. The other guy who seemed to drift away from me, while my other buddy never did. Yo...

#Sure I've had a bad run for a while trying to come up with some decent threads and something decent to say about my hobby, but here's some shiz that went down if not a week ago then very recently that sl...

# One of these games is not quite the same, as Elmo would have said. I'm pretty young and haven't played many hobby games for long enough to be cynical and jaded, but I do recognise when I see a game that...

# Dust: Tactics and Earth Reborn are both games vying for my attention, but sadly I can probably only afford one. That is if I get the Deluxe Edition. Yeah, right. With no indication about how either one ...

# Frankly I've been utterly confused as to what I'd actually want for Christmas this year: but I know for certain I don't want any video games. When it comes to Christmas usually, the only rush is being m...

Ninja Versus Ninja is possibly the most unexpected hit of my recent game purchases - it was under $100 when I bought it, it had simple rules, and matches the charm of Blood Bowl's "moving little men acro...
