As part of my moving effort I am culling things like books and clothes, but I also need to trim down my game collection. If you would like any of the following games, please contact me before 9/25/2009. I am not willing to ship and you must be willing to pick up in South Minneapolis. [...]

I thought it was interesting that the mention of “Wits & Wagers” in a recent Microsoft Xbox announcement did not mention that it was a video game version of a fairly well lauded board game. Mostly I’m just looking forward to having another game to use my Big Button controllers with. Tags: board, game, version, [...]

I had an excellent evening playing games with Shaun and Scott where we played “I’m the Boss” by Face 2 Face Games for the first time. We only had time to play through it once but it was incredibly fun. It seems to be an extremely well balanced game at this point, though it’s hard [...]

Because I’m a big geek, I find the results of the hardware survey performed by the Steam service to be absolutely fascinating. Seven people who responded to the survey play games with 8 processors/cores. 93.96% have DVD-ROM drives. I only wish that last statistic were true of the customers for the products that I work [...]

Originally I had a lot of this stuff on the About Me page but I decided to move it all over here to reduce clutter. Essentially, this is where all of the badges and widgets that I don’t want cluttering up the sidebar but think are kind of interesting or at least are useful as [...]
