Lord of Ultima
Just today I discovered Lord of Ultima, a web browser based game. Besides the fact that it has really nothing to do with the original Ultima game series (other than it’s namesake), but it’s still kind of a neat game concept. It plays a bit like a simplified version of Age of Empires with players…

Return to Gaming
Since, I built my first new computer in nearly seven years this Summer, I’ve been trying to catch up on a long list of computer games that I’ve been dying to check out. At the top of the list was Bioshock, which turned out to be a pretty awesome game in nearly every aspect. The…

World of Goo
I just picked up World of Goo with the “pay whatever you want” sale (similar to what Radiohead did a few years back). I didn’t drop as much money on it as I should have, since I try and watch my spending. But it’s well worth it for this sleek little game. The indie game…

Gen Con, how I miss thee
I went to Gen Con every year through the 90’s up until it was moved out of Milwaukee. I miss it even though I admittedly never took part in the actual gaming that went on there. I did, however, enjoy exploring the exhibit hall and gazing at all the hard-to-find stuff that you couldn’t get…

Out with the Old…
A year ago this month, Napoleon’s (a local pen and paper game shop) closed it’s doors. It was a store that was around for almost my entire life, one that my old elementary school was across the street from, and I would walk past it nearly every day going to and from school. At one…

My future rants will include the “new” Battletech, computer game development, the 9/11 attacks (maybe), software piracy, Sci-Fi TV shows, and the quality of computer porn (well, maybe not that last one.) Playing games over the Internet is a fairly…

Neverwinter Nights Mod
I wrote a story that I want to make into a Neverwinter Nights mod, la-de-da. It’s part of my new strategy, as to landing a decent job… maybe. Unfortunately, this game won’t be out until spring (*praying*), so I have no idea if it’s even possible for me to create this mod. We’ll see…
D&D floor plan for an Inn and Dungeon
This is an attempt I made at a floor plan for a tabletop run of D&D. It only consists of two floors of an inn and a relatively linear dungeon. I was inspired to make this while playing Baldur’s Gate. This was made this in Photoshop, and I have never used this in any practical…

Ted’s Favorite Video Games from 2001
I have been playing and witnessing the evolution of computer/video games for most of my life now. I can still remember the days of playing black and white (actually green) games on my old Apple IIe. And since then we have come a real long way in the video game evolution. Ultima This has to…
