Stories From The Apocalypse We made it! It was a gruelling month, but we fought hard against all odds, and we made it through. We battled giant irradiated albino scorpions and Chinese cyborg ninjas, Tanked our way through bandits #1-45...

It's Not You, It's Me.  Bleh. That pretty much sums up the past couple weeks of my life. Well, actually since about January, but the last two weeks have definitely been exceptionally "Bleh". So I just wanted to touch base wit...

Not Bloody Likely.  Frigging finally. I have been trying to write this blog for the past week and everytime that I have sat down to put...er...fingers to keys, something has needed to be done or sporadically popped up. Not saying ...

It was this or writing my thesis... Before you judge me for dropping a second blog in just over an hour, I have one question to pose for you. Would you like to write my thesis? No? Let's move on then, shall we. :) As many of you know b...

I haven't written anything about a specific game in a while, so I wanted to take a few minutes today to tell you why Dying Light is actually a fantastic zombie game, and what many of us have been looking for in a first person zombie ex...

Those Who Slay Together, Stay Together.  Recently Fenriff, Dreamweaver and I were talking and discussing how hard it was to get people to play specific games, whether or not this was on a Friday Night Fights or when you're ju...

It’s aboot der time den bucks. In Canada we don’t believe in spelling out acronyms, so from here on out, I will be pronouncing it as Goaty. I lamented for days about how I was going to write my Goaty blog, as this is the fi...

From closer to the North Pole than any of you suckers. I really shouldn’t write this blog, because I’m only 1/3 way through writing my 2014 blog, but seeing all the Christmas posts today has put me in such a holiday spirit!...

And Thus There Is No Work For Me Sitting in my cubicle at work right now, and feeling deathly bored. Coming towards the end of my contract, I’ve done a fairly good job at keeping up with all of my work so I don’t really hav...

Scholar’s back. Missed his friends. This blog post will sort of be like the soft opening of a new club. You know that the real party is coming soon, but the soft opening prepares you for what to expect, gets you ready for it. Wel...

I swear I had something for this... This past weekend, I had the pleasure of gaming for several hours with a fellow Dtoider, and I have to say, it was one of my best gaming experiences in a while now.  It really makes a difference...

Man I'm Punny.  Now, I know you are all probably already looking at this c-blog thinking I am crazy, but up here in the Great White North, we celebrate our Thanksgiving during early October. I’d get into the specifics of it,...

You probably haven't noticed, (although I sure have) but I have been away from the Dtoid community for almost 3 weeks now.  I just wanted to take a few minutes to tell you all that I already miss you more than some ridiculous gami...

Haven't really written anything in a while, either here, or on my thesis. �And actually generally speaking, I haven't done too much productive in the last little while either. �I think this may turn into a rant. �Here's me promising no edit...

Hey Dtoiders! TSG�here to discuss a new project that myself and a couple others have been talking about recently! �The main point of this blog is to receive�your�input! After posting some "real" news last week, I was approached with the r...

And the World We Want. This isn't going to be one of my regular blog posts, or even that extensive of one, but I just wanted to briefly touch base on a couple things. �As you may know, I am a historian/political scientist, and I like to sta...

...And probably more you didn't need to know. This guy doesn't look so scholarly. So I plan on becoming some sort of staple around here, or at least someone for all of you to vehemently argue against, so I figured I would give you an insid...

Because apparently they aren't going to do it.� There has been a lot of Ubisoft hate going around the internet lately, related to their choice of protagonist in�Far Cry 4, as well as the lack of inclusion of a female assassin in the new�Ass...

I am not entirely sure where to start this. �It's been fun writing in a community instead of just for my Facebook friends and Twitter followers, but I have found there to be several issues, at least for me, and I wanted to take the chance t...

None of you know my writing style and general opinions on games yet, so let me just start by saying that most often I am the type of person that can find the little things that make a game great; I am the "Here-are-the-reasons-you-should-gi...
