How To Murder Time

Blood Bowl Team Manager is a card game where you manage a team as they compete in various leagues leading up to The Blood Bowl itself.

This week we’re looking at difficulty in games. When is it right, and when is it bad? What happens when Tim plays Dark Souls?

This week we’re taking a look at two new games: Magic The Gathering, the classic collectable card game and Dropzone Commander, a tabletop wargame famed for the quality of its miniatures.

This week we’ve been busy playing games so that you don’t have to. I think that’s how it works anyway. Games covered this week: Planetside 2 Skylanders Morrowind Thief Star Trek Online Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Assassin’s Creed 3 South Park: The Stick of Truth

This week we are looking at the serious side of games: Who will preserve them for future generations? Will it be Companies, Governments or Pirates, or some combination of the three? Between them all can we guarantee that future scholars will have anything left to study when servers are gone, hardware has died and copy protection no longer protects? One last thing. Can somebody please prove that we’re wrong about who owns the rights for the Sinclair Spectrum?

This week we’re talking about what’re we’ve been playing, and it’s not pretty: Morrowind Ornitocopter patch Banished Star Trek Online Ryse: Son of Rome Assassin’s Creed 3 Skylanders Old Republicans 

This week we’re looking at two more tabletop games. The first is Malifaux 2nd Edition, which is a skirmish miniature game where two forces of around six models come together in a world of Gothic, Steampunk and Victorian Horror set on an alternate earth. The second game is Android: Netrunner, a cyberpunk card game about massive corporations, their servers and the runners who hack them.

This week we’re looking at the last few weeks of games that we’ve been playing. See if you can guess which is the one that’s just to get content for the show. Neverwinter Forza 5 Dungeon Keeper Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood The Old Republic. Older republic? It is a long time ago in a galaxy far away after all. Tomb Raider Fable Anniversary The Secret World. Mind The Cthulhu!  

This week, a rapid-fire salvo of assumptions about the past, present and future of MMO billing. With a typical MMO costing tens of millions to make, and rising, and the traditional subscription model becoming less of a standard way to recoup that, just how can a genre approaching its second decade expect to pay for it all? Who foots the bill, and how? Will subscriptions return in force, will free to play be the way, or will something else entirely come along? Join us for an examination of the pros and con and ins and outs of the life support systems of so many of the games we know and love.

It’s time to catch up on which games we’ve been playing. This time out we even has both a real and a virtual card game. Warning: one may be better than the other. Assassin’s Creed Liberation. The Old Republic. Machine of Death. Terraria. Journey. Space Engine. Hearthstone. Planetside 2.

This week we’ve been busy playing real physical games so we can tell you what we thinks about them. Lords of War A card game where the location on the board that you play your card is just as important as having a good hand. (lords-of-war.com) Star Trek: Attack Wing Using the same game system as Star Wars, this time we’re in the Trek universe with iconic ships from all the usual suspects. Does the change in universe make the game any different? (http://wizkidsgames.com/startrek/star-trek-attack-wing/)
