The Order of the White Cloth is possibly the one human organization to profit greatly from the zombie apocalypse
The Order of the White Cloth is possibly the one human organization to profit greatly from the zombie apocalypse. Shortly before the undead rose the Order was large but politically not a strong entity. When they found themselves spread throughout all of the human realms(with small temples in several Elven and Dwarven cities as well) though their spiritual leader High Priest Dain seized the opportunity. He immediately communicated to all of his subordinates that they were to spare no effort in driving back the undead hordes and saving what they could of any settlements they found themselves in.

18. February 2010
I have and always will have a soft spot in my heart for all of Sid's Civ games. Starting with number I I have probably logged a good thousand hours on various Civ franchises and enjoyed every hour. Now there's a new Civilization on the horizon - Civ V! Yes, built on a new engine from 'the ground up' as is standard practice when creating new versions of the game. Looks pretty sharp too. Here are some facts and screen shots. Also in the works - Civ Network, a Civ based game for . . . Facebook? Woah.

10. February 2010
Magic users have little freedom in this new world. Sorcerers, always rare, have all but vanished. Wizards, those who seek the magical arts through learning, have only three choices open to them. Become slaves to the Order of the White Cloth, become renegade and die by their hands along with all of those you love, or hide the powers of magic deeply and vanish into a solitary existence.

9. February 2010
Mount & Blade was a game that was first brought to my attention a few years ago when it was just a beta, looking for some love. It took me a while but I finally got around to playing it and now I'm kicking myself for not picking it up much earlier. I've had it now for just over a year and it's one of two or three games I consistently return to when I've finished with The Next Big Thing.

9. February 2010
Last year I was able to catch up with Gabriel, filmsmith and all around cool guy who was developing Tex: Vampire Hunter (or) Make Thick My Blood: A Tragedy in One Act. The film had a bunch of stuff going for it right from the outset. Vampires. Cowboys. Jen Page. Blood and gore. All the good stuff.

8. February 2010
There, I said it. "Cute". Not normally a word I associate with violent death, undead hunger and head shots. Age of Zombies features protagonist Barry Steakfries as he hops through time destroying undead brains, battling what looks like giant robots and there's something about a zombie T-Rex too.

1. Shouting "This is MY world bitches!" at your players is not acceptable. Particularly when one of your players is also your wife.

2. February 2010
A few days ago a huge, explosive event happened on the Internet. Loud enough to cause social sites of every stripe to sit up and take notice. Explody enough to almost trend on Twitter (an event a lot of folks are still working towards dammit). That explosion has a name: Axe Cop.

2. February 2010
The gods sleep while we mortals suffer. The dead roam the world while the gods remain mute. The powers have left us to this nightmare and we are faced with living death. The White Cloth speaks of patience and of turning the tide. We speak of embracing our death, of controlling it. You in your entropy are eternally in motion, never at rest. We call on you Dal, in this time of the sleeping powers, you who are still around us, with us we call on you to empower us. You in your entropy are eternally in motion, never at rest.

1. February 2010
Looks like EA is ready for some football. They've purchased a spot during the Superbowl to highlight their newest franchise - Dante's Inferno. Over the weekend they also dropped this nice (up to 720p) video montage of what hell may be like if you carry a fantastically large penis scythe.
