My Top 100 Favorite Games of All Time: #100 - 76
I used to write for a website called PressA2Join.com. While there, I published a list of my 35 favorite games of all time. Since then, that website has shut down. Because of that, I thought about republishing my list here. However, that list was two years ago, and my opinions have changed since then. I also wanted to go big for the holidays. So, I went back over my list and expanded it to 100. That may seem like a lot, but I've been a gamer since the Atari 2600 era. I've played thousands of games over the past four decades. A hundred is a drop in the bucket for me.

Review: 'LEGO DC Super Villains'
If you haven’t played it, go and buy it now. I was rather disappointed by my last two LEGO game purchases. I found Marvel Superheroes 2 to be convoluted and dull, while LEGO Incredibles was burdened by long, un-skippable cutscenes that made you feel like you were just watching the movies over and over again. Even so, I remained cautiously optimistic when I saw LEGO DC Super Villains.

How to Build Melisandre "The Red Woman" in the Pathfinder RPG
Melisandre of Asshai, more commonly referred to as the Red Woman, is one of the most enigmatic characters in Game of Thrones. A devotee of the strange god R'hllor, she is a priestess who seems greatly concerned with the forces of darkness marshaling against the world. Despite her concern, though, she is willing to take ruthless, even brutal, action to make sure those forces don't succeed, making us wonder whether she's simply a different shade of dark than what she claims to fight. For players who want to bring someone like this enigmatic follower of the Lord of Light, here's a guide to help you get started.

'2k' vs. 'Madden'
Over the course of the last 20 years, video games have grown to be one of the most profitable industries in modern times. Whether it's running down old ladies in your car or saving earth from a galactic invasion, video games provide players an outlet to do things they wouldn't be able to do in real life. The same holds true for sports fans, eager to experience the life of a pro athlete playing their favorite sport. Representing both the NFL and NBA, Madden and 2K have become two of the biggest franchises in sports gaming. And although Madden may have enjoyed a decades worth of a head start, both titles remain equally dominant to this day. One particular game mode that keeps fans coming back each year is the "My Player" mode offered in each series. Each side approaches that portion of their games in their own unique way. Positives and negatives can be drawn from either side. However, one side shows far more dedication and creative effort in their final product and that's what we will be looking into.

Extra Life
So, six years ago I watched a community of people spend hours of their time and life streaming events and videos. For an amazing reason! Extra Life! A charity program for the Children's Miracle Network. Rooster Teeth over the years as become an inspiration and a support network for me. They have made me laugh on days when I didn't think I could, but they have also made me cry for the losses of important members of their community.

Game Review—Fallout: Shelter
In 2077, nuclear bombs rained down on America, destroying cities and making the earth uninhabitable. The only safe place was underground, inside the vaults constructed by Vault-Tec. But safety proved to be relative, with the vaults posing their own unique dangers, including the sinister experiments carried out by the Vault-Tec corporation. No-one knew they were signing up for that, but it’s a better fate than dying of radiation sickness outside, or slowly turning into a feral ghoul.

How to Build Loras Tyrell in the Pathfinder RPG
Loras Tyrell, the Knight of the Flowers, is one of the most well-known tourney knights in Westeros. Though he fought in the battle for King's Landing, he is best known for his upsets in the joust (well, that, and for being Lord Renly's lover behind closed doors). For players who want to see how well Tyrell's sharpest thorn plays in the field, this character build for the Pathfinder RPG will provide the basic framework to help you recreate Loras in Golarion.

'Watch Dogs': Is This My New 'Driver' Series?
Being a “90s kid,” I got the original PlayStation (aka PS1) as a gift and grew up with classic titles. These titles ranged from Crash Bandicoot to Destruction Derby as well as Spyro and Rally Cross. However, it wasn’t until my pre-teens (the PS2 already out at the point) that I discovered Driver.

Tales from the Table
Hi, and welcome to the first chapter of Tales from the Table, my little neck of the RPG woods. In these blog type thingies, I will have stories of past games, tips and tricks for both players and GMs alike, as well as little bits of humor and ra nts...mostly rants. I'm going to try to do this weekly, but I'm a lazy sod so I wouldn't count on it. Mostly, this is going to deal with 1st to 3rd edition D&D, because I hate 4th and haven't played 5th, and with a few other games thrown in for color
