I get asked about the music we use for The Bear Swarm! Podcast from time to time. Why I picked what it or where I found it in the first place. I figured now that I have this fancy music column, I could write an article about it. Now I can just direct all further […]
About ten years ago, there was a phenomon known as the adventure game. Lucas Atrs popped most of the better ones out with the Mokey Island franchise, Grim Fandango and Full Throttle, but ever since George Lucas’ spiral into insanity, nothing more than Star Wars games have been coming out. Dead money horses are easy […]
Every Wednesday (or Thursday ) from here until July 15th, the release date of DC Comics’ Blackest Night #1, we here at IoM will be presenting a history of each of the corps involved in the upcoming battle, as well as some background on the major players and the storylines leading up to the big […]
Special thanks goes out to Ideology of Madness for giving me a soapbox here. Most of my mental diarrhea gets spewed out over on The Bear Swarm! Podcast but there are a few topics that I just don’t bring up over there. Not because I’m embarrassed by them, but its just not the right place. […]
It’s important to us here at IoM to live up to our motto… If we geek about it, we speak about it! Well, to that end, one thing we’ve been sorely lacking in is proper music news and reviews. I mean, sure we’ve had our FREAKIN’ AWESOME Nox Arcana interview (and upcoming contest!), and I […]
I’ve been rather stoked about Atomic Overmind‘s release of Kenneth Hite‘s all-new setting for Savage Worlds, The Day After Ragnarok. The book was supposed to come out last week, but was delayed until yesterday. I downloaded the PDF last night. I’m not ready to give my full review yet, but I’d like to share my […]
Back in the day, one of my favorite games was Pacesetter’s Chill: Adventures Into the Unknown. Originally published in 1984, it was a horror game very much in the vein of the Universal monster movies… Dracula, the Mummy, werewolves, and the Frankenstein monster. I loved this game. My players did, too. The Vampires supplement was […]
Every Wednesday (or Thursday on a holiday week 🙂 ) from here until July 15th, the release date of DC Comics’ Blackest Night #1, we here at IoM will be presenting a history of each of the corps involved in the upcoming battle, as well as some background on the major players and the storylines […]
It’s no secret, I loves me some Star Trek. The movies, the TV shows, and the comics? All of them I regard with deep affection. The novels though? I’m crazy for the novels. I’ve not read all of them. Hell, I doubt I’ve even read most of them. That would be a full time job. […]
It has been WAY too long since I wrote one of these. What have you been doing without someone to help you figure out how to spend your hard-earned cash each and every week? Were you standing in the corner, Blair Witch-style, beating your head on the wall, frustrated at having too much money in […]
