Recently, my washing machine had some mechanical issues (muffler belts, blinker fluid, that sort of thing), requiring me to travel a few blocks to the local laundromat to take care of the piles of clothing taking over the house. In so doing, we discovered both that our king-size blankets and comforters are much easier to handle in the industrial washer, and that there’s a Time Pilot machine hidden in the scary darkened back corner. The Widget also discovered that she loved the game (as well as Burger Time and Donkey Kong Jr), and kept asking me why they don’t bring…

In this installment of Critical Hit: A Major Spoilers Dungeons and Dragons Podcast: The Party takes a break, while a kitten has an incredible adventure! It’s bloody fun (or disgusting)!
As a fan of Doctor Who since the early eighties, I’ve seen a lot of changes, both in the program (or programme, for those of a more continental bent) and in the fan base. The upcoming 50th anniversary show has brought with it not only the news of a new Doctor on the horizon, but the possibility of a missing incarnation as well. (I am aware of all the theories about John Hurt’s character, but am avoiding specifics in the interests of not repeating wild speculations by fellow Whovians as well as any possible spoilers.). These revelations mean that the…

Zach doesn’t like to be scared, but that doesn’t stop him from watching An American Werewolf in London.
Monsters Top Five is a show where the hosts categorize, rank, compare, and stratify everything… from cars to gadgets to people and movies. From stuff that is hot, and things that are not nearly as interesting – it’s Top Five. Just in time for Halloween, your hosts reflect on their favorite monsters…
As we near the climax of our annual Major Spoilers Halloween festivities, I’ve enjoyed a lot of entertaining discussion about fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency and things that go bump and drag Katie down the stairs at night. Maybe it’s the fact that my child is insisting that we watch seasonally scary movies, or this week’s spooooky Top Five topic, but I’ve been ruminating on the topic of monsters (especially those that were once human.) I firmly believe that the scariest creatures are those that are recognizable as human-ish, making you wonder what horrific fate twisted them so terribly, which in…
One of the many joys of being part of Critical Hit (Major Spoilers’ live-play D&D podcast, which you should totally check out, I might add) is witnessing Rodrigo’s characters in action. It seems that even the most minor NPC has a fully fleshed out voice, back story, and most of all, a name so cool it’d make a bishop kick a hole in a stained glass window. There is implicit terror in ‘The Thing That Shatters The Sky,’ and I can’t even consider the existence of ‘She Who Slumbers In Agony’ without getting a little twitch around the corner of…

This week Stephen and Matthew have the pleasure of examining the return of Archie Comics’ Red Circle hero, The Fox, back to comic book pages.
This week on the Major Spoilers Podcast: Five Weapons, Bruce Lee, and the Man of Tai Chi! DC Comics moves to California, Uncanny X-Men #13, and Superman #24.
We are now into week number three of our Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Villain Battle Royale! The Cybermen haven’t made an appearance yet, so now seems like a good time to introduce the silver men and have them take on a formidable foe – the Black Guardian.
Munchkin is a dedicated deck card game by Steve Jackson Games, written by Steve Jackson and illustrated by John Kovalic, that has a humorous take on role-playing games. This week on Munchkin Minute, we take a look at Munchkin Level Playing Field – an item you may find necessary in your next game. Ever since the release of Munchkin Deluxe, many players have been asking for a version of the gameboard that fits into the regular Munchkin box. Here it is! This tri-fold board has a dungeon room for every level, plus spaces for the decks and discards, so everyone…
Given the holiday season, the child has repeatedly asked if we can watch some scary movies together. Though she wasn’t quite up to ‘Ghostwatch’, we did manage to get through most of the Paranormal Activity series, after which she kept telling me how sad she felt for boyfriend Micah. Where my jaded adult sensibilities saw a jerkface who made everything worse, Widget saw a young man frightened by things he couldn’t control, who tried to fix a problem and [SPOILERS] got killed horribly for his efforts. It’s a valid read, and it does give more emotional heft to the end…
