Geek Dad Report: Why Torchlight is Special to Me

My three year old has a new bedtime routine, after I put his sister to sleep in her crib around 7:30, he is usually doing one of two things. First, is standing near the door whispering at me if Finley is asleep yet so we can play the game. Second, I come upstairs, to when he hears me coming, he leaps off the couch and runs to me asking if we can play the game. Heck one time, he was sitting on the couch, started to run... 

Geek Dad Report: Daddys Lil Gamer

Well, the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree. Every night now for the past couple of weeks, Lincoln is very excited to do one thing before bedtime. That is the 30 or so minutes we spend on the ‘puter as he puts it, playing games. Yes, my son makes me very proud because he is a PC gamer and not a console. Suck it consoles. It all started out innocently enough for us, first I’ll let you in on the current...

Review: Torchlight

Admittedly, this is a review a long time in the making.  Why is that? I just couldn’t put it down.  

PAX 2009: Torchlight

Another game we checked out at PAX was Torchlight, the first release from Runic Games.  Torchlight is an action RPG that could be called a “Diablo Clone”.  The game has a lot of potential behind it, since Runic Games is made up of developers who worked on Diablo, Fate, and Mythos.  Ryan and I spent the better part of an hour checking out the game, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
