Gamer’s Bargain Bin: Neverwinter Nights

A game has staying power when it’s still being played nine years after it’s release.  Sure there’s a lot of games that have the staying power, but Neverwinter Nights had the staying power and the population that gave it the staying power.  With two expansions retail and one community expansion, it did very well.  More [...]

The Man Show

It was a tradeshow dedicated to everything men. Campers, RV’s, ATV’s, SUV’s, food, beer, recreation, and yes, even a fashion show. Okay, some might say “Fashion show. That has nothin’ ta do with men!” No, but it could be argued that it wasn’t so much the clothes, but what was wearing [...]
