Digidiced Going to the Beautiful Country

App News – Race for the Galaxy goes to the Brink of War
I’ve been seriously neglectful of writing about boardgame apps recently, and it’s time to rectify that (I think I’ve been intimidated by Stately Play). So how about a big announcement (though late, of course, since I was on vacation) about one of the best… Continue Reading “App News – Race for the Galaxy goes to the Brink of War”
Sony Pictures looking to get wood for sheep in upcoming Catan movie
(yes, sorry, I went there even though it’s an old joke) Movies based on video games have been coming out a lot over the last few years, even though most of them bomb.
