Clash of Titans (2010)...

I loved the 1981 version with Ray Harryhausen’s stop capture animation. The trailer for the 2010 version looks interesting however I don’t like Sam Worthington at all. I don’t think he can act or do much of anything. He was hands down the reason I hated the last Terminator movie as the popcorn I was eating at the time had more personality than him. Two thumbs up for Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes so I have a tempered optimism about the movie thus...

The Last Airbender...

The Super Bowl ad for the movie “The Last Airbender” looked good. The western anime tv series is known as the “The Last Avatar” and you can see why they didn’t use that title. I liked the tv series and thought it was pretty good. Hopefully MS doesn’t mess it up with some screwball MS only idea. SO far so good though if this ad is anything like the...

Eight Million Subs…Say What???...

Sony just announced that Free Realms just hit 8 million subscribers.  That is a heck of an accomplishment for any MMO.  For those of you that haven’t ever ventured in, the best way I could describe it is that it’s like World of Warcraft lite.  You can do dungeons, explore, play a ton of causal mini-games, collect pets, and more.  It is very family friendly and falls more on the kid to teen side of things.  The big draw is that it is free though sports rl items shops for pets, mounts, weapons and armor so the income is derived from micro-transactions verse...

GameStop Online Theft...

NY is hammering on GameStop as well as some other online retailers that are tagging you with “Small and recurring charges then begin to appear on consumers’ credit or debit card bills from unfamiliar companies. Because of the low dollar amount, the charges may go unnoticed for some time.”  Yikes!  I thought we were friends GS-EB?!   Thanks for stealing you greedy freaks, we could have had something special together but you’re one A crazy thief! GameStop Subpoenaed in NY Over Unauthorized Online...

Canthan New Year in Guild Wars...

Guild Wars is now having their Canthan New Year celebration.  Much akin to the Chinese New Year in real life, it is celebrated with special food, drink and fireworks.  Time to dust off your old Guild Wars account and take it out for a spin during the Year of the Tiger.  Grrr. Canthan New...

Xbox Live is Dead!...

Heh ok not really but the original Xbox live service will be discontinued.  See yeah Halo 2…goodbye it was nice fragging yeah.  The borg have spoken and resistance is still futile. “On April 15 we will discontinue the Xbox Live service for original Xbox consoles and games, including Xbox v1 games playable on Xbox 360 and Xbox Originals,” wrote Xbox Live general manager Marc Whitten. “I want to start by saying this isn’t a decision we made lightly, but after careful consideration, it is clear this will provide the greatest benefit to the Xbox Live...

Dedicated RPG Site...

We have finally found the direction, course and look of our site MyDeadHeroes.com.  Random Encounter’s proudly presents a site dedicated to old school pen & paper roleplaying games.  We will also cover table top wargaming, comic books and much more.  Eventually this will also be the home for the games we are developing but that takes time to do and having the site sit there for months waiting on products we haven’t developed yet doesn’t do anyone any good.  We are hardcore geeks and our geekiness can’t be contained to just one site.   So we...
