It’s time for some of that gaming drama you’ve all been waiting for! That’s right my friends, gaming is a social event and with social events comes lots of in-house squabbles, hurt feelings and dramatic exits. The story I’m telling you today is an actual event I saw take place. The names have been changed to protect the people involved and to create a much better story on paper.
This is the story of a boy named Link in:
The Legend of the Table Toss.
Woman get a bad rap in the gaming world. They start out as “that one guy’s girlfriend” or perhaps the “tag along female who doesn’t know what she’s doing” or maybe if you’re really good at slaughtering people you become a legendary unicorn of the gaming world.
Fear no longer, for I have put together five steadfast rules to live by when navigating the untamed jungles of the gaming utopia. Don’t let the world of gaming intimidate you again!
I bet a lot of you are wondering what Valley of the Sun Meetup is, especially since I have it plastered all over the side of my blog. Those of you who haven’t visited the site yet are really missing out on the opportunity to promote your own games and to find others around Phoenix. No gimmicks or people trying to sell you stuff here.
As a kid I loved RoboCop and as an adult I appreciate looking back at the original film as I’m a huge fan of claymation and nostalgia associated with gems of that era. The little kid inside of me rejoiced when I heard there was going to be a RoboCop remake but then the adult inside of me took a step back and cried like a little baby.

Robocop 2014 is the most highly anticipated failure of the season! Guess who’s totally psyched to write about it. *Points two thumbs* That’s right, this Houndd! (more…)
I attended Dark Con in January and was surprised to see so many gaming tables not being utilized to their fullest potential. Then it dawned on me, maybe the average Joe isn’t aware of the greatness that’s out here? Perhaps the lure of people dressed as Steampunk cowboys or Anime superheros isn’t your thing? Maybe you think a whole convention devoted to zombie dinosaurs is just to “nerdy” for you.
Well, you’ve been kept in the dark about the secret happening at these conventions all your life.

Store Hours:

Su: 11am – 9pm
First Impression:
This store is big and open, which I love. It also has plenty of space for gaming and tons of tables for miniature gaming. Truly, my heart was hoping that this was the store for me! However, as I hung around I realized, although this was an amazing store, it was not my crowd. The people here were friendly but none seemed interested in playing my board game and they remained standoffish with me. If miniatures are your game of choice then this store is probably for you.
Tiny Epic Kingdoms is the the pocket sized game that plays like a big box Euro game.
The very idea of this pretty much blew my mind as I envisioned strategic brawls taking place at the local watering hole. That’s right, I play games at local bar and not having to lug in a gigantic box of nerdgasm to a neutral social setting was highly appealing to me. Also, I was intrigued by the game play and the quality of the game pieces that were packed into such a tiny box. After all, the base price of this game is only $16.
