Exuding Geekiness since 1984

Lately, I've been noticing that I've been doing way, and I mean WAY   too many film reviews, and as much as I enjoy them, I really don't want to have one sort of content on my blog. So, this blog won't be a film  review (although, I was really tempted to write one for The Incredibles 2 ) instead it will be a game review of a really fun game that involves the subject-matter that is near and dear to my heart, CATS! So for all future and current cat ladies (and everyone else) today I will be reviewing Cat Lady . The mechanics: Easy to play (30 minute game) card game that involves rows and columns, where there are different cards, which are: Cats (these felines need to be adopted by you and the other players. Milk, tuna, meat cards (which you trade in for little pegs, that represent either milk, tuna or meat to feed your kitties). Cat toys, these give extra stuff at the end of the game. Cat nip, also these give extra stuff at the end of game. BoardGameGeek ...

Hello kidies!! Sorry I have been on a hiatus for a while, life just seems to come at you full force and its hard to stop. Either way, here I AM back at this ol' writing thing again. (I'm kidding, about the old) It feels good to be back and yes, as much as I missed blogging about everything, being away gave me a different perspective of what I want my content to be about. A lot of times, bloggers tend to fall on "newsworthy" or the up and coming article, news, but at times, you kinda loose the sense of what you really are passionate about. What really interests you. So, yes, it was good for me to step back and re-evaluate many things. Ok, during this time I had the chance to try out new games for you guys (if you already haven't) so, yes, this will be a board game review about some of the games I got to play during my absence. Lets begin! Harry Potter: Hogwarts Battle Deck Builder Co-Op deck builder game 2-4 players ages 11+ $45+ Designed and D...

Hello once !! As promised I am trying to keep up with my posts despite my work schedule. It's not easy but you guys are worth it! So what is new in the wonderful, mystical world of Geekdom? Hail to the King, Baby!! Well according to some very reputable internet sources, table top gamers AND horror movie aficionados can soon rejoice because it was announced a new Kickstarter campaign has begun in order to make an Evil Dead game board, with Deadites included!! (Source: en.wikipedia.org) Yes, you read that right, if the campagin is successful an boardgame company can start making an Evil Dead based board game. So, I leave you guys the link for more information & hopefully enough of us can pitch in for this game to become a reality. Let's do this! Because honestly, who wouldn't want to play this game?! Klatu Verata, Neck tie!! http://nerdapproved.com/gaming/official-evil-dead-2-board-game/ Rolling out the Red Carpet. It is no secret that this year is Sta...

Hello kiddies! Anywhoo, so as of late I had been thinking that although I have reviewed some table top games, deck builders, cooperative board games, etc. I haven't really reviewed or commented about family friendly games that EVERYONE in the family can enjoy. My husband and I are avid table top gamers, more so than console, but we also like to take into account our 8 year old daughter. The awesome part of table top gaming is not only the strategy and mechanics of game play, but it truly brings people together. There is table talk, and it is basicaly different personalities coming together and enjoying the same game. Anywhoo, so I am aware that for many family games denote the traditional board games of yester year, like Monopoly, Guess Who, Sorry, etc. But now a days, there are many different kinds of table top games that younger players can join. Here are some suggestions (that we have personally played, and our 8 year old has enjoyed so far): Catan Junior- For those ...

Hello kiddies!! What is dead may not die, but rise again!! LOL, just kidding, sorta.  I know I really don't have excuses as to WHY I've been gone (work and other stuff that's happened) but I'm here now. So, what do I bring to you today? I will be giving my review/comments on Fury of Dracula . No, it's not a movie title but a boardgame (table top) by the makers of Fantasy Flight Games company (who are also responsible for White Chapel ). It is a 2-5 players, and it is a one versus many deduction game based on Bram Stoker's Dracula. And they are not kidding that it is one versus many! So one player gets to be Dracula and the rest of the players get to be the Hunters. There are 4 hunters with their own special abilities and weaknesses. Dracula gets his own mini map and the players get to place their designated character token on the board, Dracula gets to place in his mini map.  The interesting thing about this game is that it is a very much 'cat ...

Hello kiddies! I had recently noticed that although I had brought to you guys news about upcoming films, premiers, etc. I hadn't exactly branched out and mainly have gotten stuck in one area of our community. That is NOT what I want to do. I most definitely enjoy bringing you guys news about upcoming films and whatnot, but there is so much more to explore. So, yesterday I was thinking about a new subject area that I could possibly write about and I came across table top gaming. As most of you know there are a lot of types of 'gamers,' there are the MMO-RPG enthusiasts (WoW, Arcane Legends, League of Legends, etc), let us not forget the console users, like XBOX, Playstation, Old school cartridge gamers (Sega, Nintendo, etc), and although there is absolutely nothing wrong with either, my absolute favorite type of gaming is known as table top.  Now, for those newbies out there, what is table top? Well we all enjoyed board games when we were young, Monopoly ...

I'M BAACKK!! as many of you can see, after a while of going AWOL on everyone. What happened to me?Where have I been? Did I fall from the face of the earth?! So many questions!! To be honest, for a while I had lost the motivation (and at times the will) to even get out of bed. It's been a long time since I've battled depression and it takes a toll on me at various times.  So, I used this time to just chill, and recuperate in order to have a better outlook on life. So, instead of giving you all a sad sob story, I will spare you guys the details and let's get going to talk about what I love the most...GEEK STUFF/CULTURE/FANDOMS, etc. 1.)  Our Spidey sense are tingling!! For those unaware I have a FB account, and I do subscribe to various outlets of information for Geeks and all about Geek interests, any ways, I'm sure by now, everyone and their mothers' know that Sony has already chosen (officially) a new actor to play Peter Parker/Spider-man. And the l...
