Analog Gaming: Arkham Horror and Survival Horror Games

Want to keep playing after the console’s turned off? Pull out the dice and tokens analog gaming lives on! This time I talk about Survival Horror video games their history and their analog equivalents.

Contemplating Dystopia

I don’t think the prognosticators will be right (they’ve never been in the past, western culture has been on the brink of destruction since at least the 1500s if you dig back far enough). That doesn’t mean we can ‘t learn anything from them though.

Something I got for the Holidays

I asked my family for a Flip Mino for the Holidays not quite knowing what I wanted to do with it.  The idea of having a video recorder available at any time though was appealing.  It’s been two months now though and I’ve yet to use the thing.  It isn’t as if I’m intimidated by the thing it is easier to use than a point and shoot camera.  There is only a big record button on the back that also stops it.  Simple.  I’ve just not thought about recording anything.  I spent last weekend in Mendocino, a perfect spot for filming little bits of my life, but forgot to throw the thing into my pocket.  I’ve also thought of carrying in my car to record random things I see around me.  I don’t know how useful this is unless I come across a case of police misconduct or a crime in action.  So far though I’ve been lucky enough to not experience these things.

So I’ll just throw out the question:  If you had a compact recording device what would you record with it?  How would you use it effectively?

What things in your own life have you found yourself taking the easy route by collecting stuff instead of time and energy? For me it’s been writing and illustration. I’ve collected piles of stuff that should be used to better my craft but have still yet to put the effort into it.
