As part of the the new Colbert report’s greenscreen challenge, the goal is to make presidential nominee seem more interesting. These are my two favorites:

This one is my absolute favority (vogue edition)
I stumbled on this website and have seemed to have gotten hooked. It’s a game called “ConQuiztador.” A conquest game, where you control territories in the United States and attack territories held by two other players in order to expand your boarders, ala Risk. The catch is, instead of battling or rolling dice, you have to answer a trivia question correctly (and fast).
Good addicting flash game.
Tim, at CAD Comics news (great comic, by the way) writes about the new Dungeons and Dragons system that’s coming out, known as D&D 4.0.
I, myself, am still playing (when I get the chance) D&D 3.0 having refused to take part in the debacle/ marketing scam that was D&D 3.5. I use my own house rules to cover the week points in the system and therefore bypass the need to give another 60+ dollars to Wizards of the Coast.
As a primarily pc/console gaming site, Tim says:
A few times I tried to get into the whole DnD roleplaying thing the best I could with both Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2, but it never really stuck, and I know it wouldn’t have been like real DnD anyway.
Hopefully someday they’ll successfully translate the DnD experience to something that can be played online.
I guess, and it seems odd to think this is true, Tim has never heard of the MMORPG that WotC released some time ago; D&D Online: Stormreach. I played that one for a while, being one of the only MMOs I’ve gotten into (that and Runescape). It’s a slightly inferior game than World of Warcraft, but its more genetically related to D&D, which I like better than WoW. The races, weapons and magic systems are more familiar to me, as a D&D player. I would much like to read to review of that game by Tim.
And one more thing:
In the meantime, the closest I get is my miniature wargaming, with Warmachine, which I absolutely love.
I never got into Warmachine, but I played Warhammer 40k for a while. I could spend any more money on table top wargaming systems; the models were getting too expensive. Plus, they kept changing the rules and mini designs. I still have all my models though. I can’t bring myself to part with them.
Well that’s all on that matter for now. I’m going to get back to that episode of Doctor Who that I was watching.
I haven’t seen it yet, but these reviews give a pretty good idea about the overall quality of the movie, without giving away anything important. Also, it reinforces the notion that I can rely on science blogs for the vast majority of my news, political or entertainment.
