Bachman’s Best – WildStar Pre-Order Beta

The best thing I played last week was WildStar. One of the best things about this is that it was just another of the WildStar Pre-Order Beta weekends, the game hasn’t even launched yet! Now that the NDA’s have been lifted and pre-orders are available it is indeed time to talk about WildStar! At this…

Bachman’s Best – The Raid 2

The best thing I saw last week was The Raid 2. And WOW. What an amazing action film. The Raid was such a step up from a lot of the cliché action schlock that Hollywood had been churning out that I was afraid that coming back with The Raid 2 there might be some disappointment….

Bachman’s Best – New Warriors

The best thing I read last week was New Warriors vol 5 issue #1. I’ll just say it’s simple and sweet. In 1990 the first comic I bought with my own money was New Warriors vol 1 issue #1, and I was hooked. Not only did it cement me as a lifelong comic fan but…

Bachman’s Best – Die Hard

The best thing I saw last week was Die Hard. In fact I saw 4 of them. Luckily for me the other day when I was running around doing errands I found a 4 disc box set of DVD’s for the low low Wal-Mart price of just $12. I had been looking at ordering the…

iThing of the Week: Yahoo! Weather

Cold. Snow. Even colder. More snow. That’s basically been the weather for the past month here in Minnesota. To help me keep track of weather conditions throughout the day, I’ve been using Yahoo!

Tabletop…uhh, Wednesday?

Surprisingly, a lifetime of analog gaming has done little to prepare me for dealing with digital problems. I must’ve rolled every die I owned and played every spell card I could get my hands on, but I just couldn’t make the stars align so that Tabletop Tuesday could happen on…you know…Tuesday. I apologize for this…
