Razer Talon

The average gamer hits 100 actions-per-minute (APM) based on the number of actions on mouse and keyboard – Pro-Gamers peaking around 300 APM. Über-optimized and over-powered for MMO, FPS and RTS gameplay – the Razer Talon will accelerate you to a pace of over 3,000 APM. With its intelligent movement programmability and state of the art construction, your opponents, like your keyboard, will be left smoldering in a cloud of smoke.

Rejoice, for the day has come — Mr. Plinkett’s review of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith has arrived. I think this is how we all feel, although, I am sure that most of us do not take it quite so personally.

Why Attack of the Clones Sucks

Dave — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 19:04:26 +0000

Oh, happy day! Everyone’s favorite movie reviewer/serial killer Mr. Plinkett is back, this time reviewing Attack of the Clones in a massive but scathingly brilliant 9-part, 90 minute review. The first part starts here, but if you don’t have time to watch the entire opus, you should still definitely check out the final section, posted above — if there’s a better, more accurate, more bitter summary of the prequels than cutting Empire Strikes Back’s Yoda with the prequel Yoda’s actions and dialogue, I don’t have the faintest clue what it would be. Thanks to all 800 bajillion of you who sent this in.

The 10 Most Shameful RPG Dice

Dave — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 18:38:28 +0000

If role-playing games have one thing in common, it’s that almost all of them use specialized dice. You know, the kind of dice you won’t find in casinos; the dice with more (or less) than six sides; the dice that you might carry in an elaborate leather pouch; the dice that cause your parents, classmates and even some fellow nerds to look at you with disdain. Unfortunately, these people have a point — there is a fine line between dice being “special” and dice being “retarded.” Here now are ten of the dumbest dice ever constructed for role-playing games.

Second Use for Google Wave Discovered: Role Playing Games

Dave — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:34:35 +0000

According to experts, Google Wave is perfect to organize role playing games. Its persistent nature allows to keep a precise record of all that is happening. Players can keep three waves:

The few games I’m following typically have at least three waves: one for recruiting and general discussion, another for out-of-character interactions (“table talk”), and the main wave where the actual in-character gaming takes place. Individual players are also encouraged to start waves between themselves for any conversations that the GM shouldn’t be privy to. Character sheets can be posted in a private wave between a player and the GM, and character biographies can go anywhere where the other players can get access to them.
