Oh god, I'm too used to colourless mana cards being artifacts. I've not seen Garruk get much play, so a walker that costs one more than him is unlikely to either. And yeah, not seen many mono-decks around.

I'm quite happy to try and run him in a chief engineer powered artifact deck in Standard. Especially if I can get enough Grand Mentors to hopefully get me some tokens to convoke it in :D

I'm in Brighton, I guess it's faster to go through London for me though.

Hmm, I sent a submission to the same address but got no away message. I wouldn't mind too much if it didn't come through, I was mortified to discover a typo afterwards XD Oh well, maybe next year.

The Cave Monkey Island? Day of the Tentacle? Ron Gilbert's new game The Cave predates them both by premise. The result of 25 years of slow mental gestation, this set of seven unlikely (well, one likely) explorers pursuing their greatest desires within a talking cavern was an idea that came to...

I'm just hoping, if it even comes out, a PC release will have online multiplayer this time.

I seemed to always get in positions where booting enemies away just landed them safely onto another platform. And I'm too impatient to spend time lining them up perfectly, yet I still want the blood points... Thanks. Also, I think some more of the bonus level things are going to be released...

They Bleed Pixels Super Meat Boy had the gleeful comedy deaths of its icky cartoon hero. Limbo had its oppressive monochrome horrors. A dash of the macabre clearly suits platformers. No surprise when the genre puts players one misstep from death at all times. So They Bleed Pixels has its...

Honestly, the only reason I didn't italicise titles was because it looked strange beginning with an italicised possessive. That, and I couldn't be arsed to rewrite a functional first sentence for an aesthetic quibble, so I ignored it for the whole review. Bah, maybe I'd have persuaded you...

Not, in fact, a game about putting out supermarket stock. Surprised? Stacking's premise is as brilliant as the name that encapsulates so neatly the main mechanic of, uh, encapsulation. Charlie Blackmore, the smallest matryoshka doll in his family, is the only one left after a villainous...

I've been in the same position as you, nearly failing an entire year due to it. It's rough, really horrifically rough, but your uni's staff really will understand and try and help. The main thing to keep in mind is that the university will absolutely provide support and a degree of academic...

Couldn't it be considered cheating to pick a character who is developed from a male's fantasies and paranoias :P? For me, probably April Ryan, but she does have a huge advantage being in an adventure game in terms of writing quality and opportunity to develop and express character.

If you're interested in writing for an amateur outfit, me and some other people recently released the first issue of Haywire Magazine [http://bit.ly/NEhn6E]. Feel free to take a look, and contact our editor DeadpanLunatic on the site or email [email protected] if you'd like to pitch...
