Yeah, so remember yesterday when I said that I was a little underwhelmed over Day 1 of Origins? Well, that was replaced by dizzying awe with the games, people, and general variety of different types of gaming experiences to be had. It was a long second day. I arrived at the convention center around 8:00 AM, and I didn't leave until well after 8:00 PM. I only sat down for two demos and lunch,... more.

Well, Day 1 came and went.  I left Pittsburgh around 6:30 AM today and arrived in Columbus at 11:15 AM.  Instead of checking into the hotel, I decided to get a feel for the convention's layout.  I'm an Origins virgin, so I had to acclimate myself to the new environment if I wanted any hope of devising a gameplan for tackling the Con. I walked around for a bit before checking into my hotel, a... more.

Well, it's upon us. Origins 2009 is looming over Columbus, Ohio, and elaborately garbed geeks, gamers, and beautiful people are filing through the doors of the Greater Columbus Convention Center to mingle with like-minded folk. Or something like that. Today I arrived at Origins and spent some time getting acquainted with the convention's format and wares. Although this was the first offici... more.

It's been a while since I've written a blog post. I really have no excuse. So, there! My hotel has been booked for Origins 2009 in Columbus, OH. I'm stoked to be able to attend a convention of this ilk for the first time since starting Game Journal. One of my little evil plans in developing a gaming coverage site was the potential to go to conventions and conferences all over the country wi... more.

We've finally uploaded our Warmachine demo videos.  Because of the length of the video, we've had to split it into four parts. Game Journal editors Adam, Neal, and Reggie run through our typical game of Warmachine, the table-top strategy minature game from Privateer Press.  Watch as Adam gets his butt handed to him by Neal, who is a Warmachine expert and actually a representative of Privateer... more.

Because I said so. Do not fret, Game Journal-ites; there will a flood of new content for the site very VERY soon.  I know our Reviews and News sections have seen an article drought lately, but this will be the summer of Game Journal.  We will be covering all the biggest conventions and events (E3, Origins, Comic Con, etc.), and we will have brand new exclusive content that you won't be able t... more.

My life is slowly being drained by keeping up the website.  If any of you out there are more technically inclined, I have a little project for you: build me a time machine.  It doesn't have to be flashy like the Delorean in Back to the Future, and it doesn't even have to be small, like the Time Turner in Harry Potter.  It just has to work.  Maybe I'll just take out a Classified Ad: Wanted Ti... more.
