Pathfinder Beginner Box: First Impressions

After following the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Beginner Box for quite some time, it has finally arrived. Here's my first impressions of it: it's worth getting!

John Lasseter - A Day in a Life

I thank those who made 'John Lasseter - A Day in a Life' documentary accessible to the public. Watching this video makes me look at people who pursue their dreams with respect, especially if they accomplished it and make it a success. I believe in doing what you love so that you can create results more than your investment, and not giving up when things go rough is a crucial element. Knowing that Pixar has had a rough start for many years, I am glad that they have succeeded and pioneered computer animation, creating opportunities for those who love CG to also pursue their dreams. Now, sit back and enjoy the clip.

'Fortune And Glory: The Cliffhanger Game' Review

Fortune and Glory: The Cliffhanger Game is a game players play the role of adventurers in search of artifacts across the world in the 1930s era. As an adventurer makes his way to the location of the artifact, he can then try to obtain it by overcoming the dangers that lie in front of him. Should he be able to obtain them, he can later head to any city and sell them for fortune coins. Whoever accumulates 15 of the fortune coins win the game. 

'The Resistance' Review

The Resistance is a game of spies, sabotage and paranoia in the veins of Werewolf and Panic Station. Revolving around 2 groups, the Resistance who are trying to overthrow a malignant government, and the Spies sent to thwart the Resistance. Each game consists of missions that the Resistance have to succeed in order to win, and the Spies are there to sabotage the missions. Whichever side accomplishes their goals 3 times will win the game.

Panic Station: 2 Host Variant

My gaming group of 6 has played Panic Station for about 15 times. For the first 10 games, the humans have won 8 times. The mini-expansion adds items that in my opinion are advantages to the humans. After that, we decided to tweak the game.

A 2nd host.

'King Of Tokyo' Review

The King Of Tokyo board game arrived yesterday and I immediately popped it out of the box (together with 3 other board games). Reading through the short and straightforward rulebook, we started the game with 6 players and was on our way to having a great gaming night. However, after 2 games, we all found the game not as fun as we had expected.

Tonight (D&D Song)

Do you love D&D? Have you played D&D before? If you do, then you have to listen to 'Tonight', a wonderfully written song that will bring back memories from your table-top gaming experience.

Steve Jobs' 2005 Stanford Commencement Address

People say that in life, what we do defines who we are. Actually, who we want to be defines what we do. Our thoughts and motivation are the reasons for the all that we do in life. When things go wrong, it is the purpose for what we set out to accomplish that can keep us moving forward. I thank Steve Jobs for not only having given us the things that makes life better, but for his experience that shows us what we can achieve.

Spend a fraction of your time to gain an experience of a lifetime by watching the above video: Steven Jobs' 2005 Stanford commencement address.

Beautiful Advertisement For Wacom's Cintiq 24 HD

The Cintiq 24HD commercial from Wacom has one of the most beautiful advertisement I've ever seen. From the beautiful cinematography to the amazing music, everything fits perfectly to create an emotional ride as I watch this commercial. And seeing how the car drawing appears in the background, it is just breathtaking.
