As I put down my preorder today at Gamestop, I mused out loud... is Nintendo really ready to launch this damn thing? This is not a sentiment that came about overnight. It's come from many sources and definitely not being denied by Nintend...

2010 was an eventful year to be certain. Every website and their brothers are going to be chucking out awards and in the same fashions as every other website. We all know the games that will be plastered with reviewer spunk so those oth...

One of the hottest new trends in board gaming is Deck-Building games and with companies more than willing to try getting their video game franchise in board game form, it's only natural someone would take this shot. Who would have guessed...

Goblins serve many purposes throughout time, whether being simple enemies to mulch in a beginning D&D campaign, deal parts from mechanical ostriches in WOW, or even dig the tunnels for other creatures to travel in Magic, Goblins rock. So...

This Thursday, to a local gaming store near you, comes the Resident Evil Deck-Building Game.... but what is it? How does it play? Who the what and the where cares? I do. So here is a quick impression. I sat down to give the game a shot...

I haven't done an art dump in a while so why not show off the card game I'm currently designing? Six elements, starting now... Air Death Earth Fire Life Water

As some feedback to my last review, I was tasked with doing something more obscure than a Settlers of Catan spinoff a mere three weeks old. And so hopefully this fits the bill. Perry Rhodan was a popular series of novels (starting in 196...

If you're even remotely close to the Euro Board Game scene, you may have heard of the Settlers of Catan. How you feel about the game is entirely dependant upon your feelings on randomness and your initial startup. One of the main complai...

As some may know, Duel of the Planewalkers came out on PC via Steam. Well, sort of. I was one of those people eagerly refreshing the storefront to plunk down some money (three days after the listing went live, you could actually preorder ...

This is an update to two different blog series I was doing. The first being the art blog that leads the bulk of this update and the second being my card game design blog. Last card game design blog update can be found here. http://www.de...

What can I say? They are my weakness so I'm going to keep busting out on this aspect for a bit. Starting with some basic heads. Some of you may recognize Rachel Summers, but doubtful. Also did a couple generic 80s Cyberpunk characters. ...

Yesterday, I did something stupid. I went to my local gaming shop (Armored Gopher Games) and joined their Friday Night Magic event. For $25, players got 2 boosters packs of Worldwake, Rise of the Eldrazi, and Zendakir. From there, you h...

I suppose I should start things off more conventionally ugly. These are a couple quick character designs for a board game concept. Then we go into the first page of females this week. God I suck... but here are some more. And a specia...

I'm doing this blog series to basically dial back and focus on my traditional art skills. Seriously, if truly interested, check previous posts. Ima start today with girls. Which eventually leads me to SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE And ye...

Tuesday I alerted fellow DToiders that Section 8, a highly Tribes looking game, was on sale for $14.99 on PSN. Perhaps motivated by the potential for fellow dtoids to orbital drop on, I purchased and decided to play some while it was still...

Looks like a Tribes style game.... so it looks quite tasty. I bit, anyone else on DToid interested in giving this a go? If so, add me on PSN, sheppy.

Last weekend I went to the Geekway to the West board gaming convention in St. Louis. Because of this, I didn't get as much time over the weekend drawing. In fact, if you caught me between games, you might have seen me drawing one of the t...

I suppose with the third edition of this diggety, I should make a confession about it's alternative purpose. At any given time, I know 3-5 people who say "I can't draw." To which I typically say "Just F'ing draw and you'll get there." So...

Continuing along the path of further improving my art skills, I continue my simple angle sketches. This week, however, I start on one of my main handicaps... females. But first, I did one last page of male heads. Maybe if I draw a whole...

On Saturday, I tried out a board game called Runebound with a friend, who called it quits after 3 1/2 hours of gametime. It had two of it's main designs which appealed to me. The first being the aspect that it's completely playable singl...

Long ago, I fancied myself a pretty good artist. I pushed this agenda forward until I got into 3D art but my passion has always been traditional. Through the years, as my 3D skills increased, my 2D skills suffered. Now I'm going back to ...

Sony has caught a lot of flack, including from the most recent Podtoid for chopping Linux support from the PS3. GeoHat is mad because he never intended to allow piracy, etc and so forth and has sworn hatred of Sony and a new mission to bu...

I'm writing this for people who may or may not have an interest in such things. If you enjoy card games, this may be of great interest to you. Basically the intent is to show my progress in developing a card game. Like video games, you'...

Included in the release of SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo 3 for PSP is a code, unless you buy it directly off PSN. This code is good for one redemption and it's valid for the online modes within the game. Essentially, without the code, you have t...
