Go Saints! [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]

[caption id="" align=“aligncenter” width=“277” caption=“Trust me, it was more exciting than the score lets on.”] [/caption] Well I really didn’t care one way or the other, but the New Orleans Saints managed to come back from a 10 point deficit in the second half and put this Super Bowl away. It’s insane to see Peyton Manning play a game that’s short of perfect in any way, but his second half just didn’t stand up to the Saints offense. ...

Sonic 4 Episode 1 and Civ IV Progress [Game Overview]

In news that you never thought you’d ever hear again, a new Sonic sidescroller for the home consoles is set to hit this summer! After countless missteps by Sega, it seems like they’ve finally listened to the fans and decided to release a sidescrolling Sonic game. Insane. Will it be any good? God help Sega if it isn’t. It will finally prove that the franchise should stay dead, but if the revival is successful, we could have a lot of fun headed our way soon. ...

The Hangover and Howl's Moving Castle [Filmmakers Bleed]

Those two movies really couldn’t be more different, but that’s what I watched this week. A few words on each: The buzz about The Hangover was everywhere when that movie came out. Heck, even Rotten Tomatoes was calling it fresh, but I refused to believe it. I’ve been burned by far too many mediocre, unfunny, lowest common denominator comedies in the past and I refused to believe that this was any different based on the trailers. I could not have been more wrong. ...

Super Bowl and Caps [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you probably already know that the teams in the Super Bowl this year are the New Orleans Saints and the Indianapolis Colts. If you’re me, you probably already don’t care one bit about this. They’re teams I have no allegiance to and no interest in. The only minor reason why I might root for the Saints is because I have a friend who’s originally from Louisiana. Otherwise, don’t care. ...

State of the Table: January [Uncat]

[caption id="" align=“aligncenter” width=“375” caption=“Not quite the Pikachu cosplay most people come to the site for.”] [/caption] Here at IBNttT we like to take a moment every so often to look inside and get a feel for what’s popular and important to people coming to the site. With that in mind, here are the top search terms and pages from the month of January (remember kids: I only started taking data on 4 January, so some of the data is missing). ...

Civ IV PBEM [Game Overview]

It should be no surprise to devoted readers of IBNttT that I love Civ IV. Over my gaming lifespan, I’d wager a guess that (WoW aside), I’ve probably sunk more hours into the Civ franchise than any other. The series is that good. I can’t quite remember what sparked the most recent return by my brother to the game, but he started playing it again, sparking my interest yet again. If I didn’t already have Mass Effect 2 to sink time into, I’d be playing Civ IV like mad right now, I’ll tell you that. As a compromise I decided to start some Play By E-Mail (PBEM) games with him instead. Three games, to be exact. I plan to make weekly reports on these games and our status, hopefully without giving too much away to my enemies (I’m looking at you Eric). This can either be a terrible idea or a great one, depending on how well I do, so I’m pretty excited about it. Since we’re still at the once city stage with all three games, I won’t go into any detail today, but I might take some screenshots for tomorrow or next week and put some up. ...
