Blurbs: Assassin's Creed Short Movie

Most game to movie adaptations suck. Apparently the one that I am about to show you, doesn't. It is profesional and awesome. This is the first in a series of short movies that are being developed by Hybride Technologies, the visual effects studio behind 300 and Sin City, which Ubisoft bought last year for just this sort of project. I can't wait for the 2nd episode. News courtesy of Kotaku.

Blurbs: Dragon Age Penny Arcade Comic

The folks of Penny Arcade has finally completed the 8 page comic for Dragon Age, which you can view >HERE<. The art is beatiful and it makes me want to play the game right now. I believe the comic was successful in giving out the gray area moral ambiguity that will be prevalent in the game. As it is, there has been quite an entertaining debate in the official forums regarding the comic and the subject matter: tempars. Which, you can browse and read >HERE<. If you haven't read the comic, I strongly advise that you do so.

Blurbs: Lone Wolf!

When I was a kid I had fun reading this so called adventure books. Basically you are reading a character and you control what path s/he takes by flipping to the appropriate page. It was awesome and the best I have read so far was the adventures of Lone Wolf.

I have found a website of the author and he has made all his books available online to be read! Check it out >HERE<.

Blurbs: D&D

Dungeons & Dragons is such an old IP and almost every old (relatively) gamer I have met have actually played this pen and paper marvel. When the 4th edition came out last year, a group of my friends and I decided to give it a try. We only went as far as two sessions. I blame this on the "real life" monster invoking itself into our DnD scheduling. We might try again this year ... or maybe not seeing that this year is about to end in two (or three, depending how you count it) more months.

Penny Arcade has started putting up their DnD exploits and I find the read interesting. Not to mention the podcast of their adventures that is hosted by Wizards of the Coast, which are the makers of DnD. Penny Arcade has posted up some articles on their DnD adventures alot of times already but this one is interesting to see. The way he sets up the board is awesome! Check it out >HERE<. You may need to scroll downward since it's the second article.

Penny Arcade has been spending alot of money to get the appropriate minis and boards for their DnD game. So I am not surprised if they are thinking of getting the Microsoft surface for their DnD gaming. Currently it is a work in progress but the vid shows that it is functional. Catch it here in Kotaku. Looks awesome.
