Gettin’ Jizzy With It
Did you guys hear about the new version of Wiz-War coming from Fantasy Flight Games? I have to tell you, I am VERY excited to pick up a copy when it is released.
Wiz-War is an old school game that is/was hailed as the original “beer and pretzels game”. Here, take a look at the Wiki listing for it if you’re not familiar.
I’ve been on a bit of a board game kick as of late and it’s no surprise that many of the games on my wish list come from Fantasy Flight Games. Honestly, if you take a look at their design philosophy and staggeringly impressive production values it is easy to see why. As I mentioned a while back, Gears of War is simply fantastic.
This year I intend to do more product reviews. Why? Well, judging by emails and twitter and such folks seem to value my two-cents when it comes to games and if I can steer someone to a great new game (or save them a few bucks on a box of crap) I am happy to do so. This may offend or anger some publishers but so be it. Sorry guys, if it’s shit, I am going to tell you it’s shit. On the bright side, there are FAR more good games out there than bad games.
See you on Wednesday!

Proud to say I owned Wiz War back in the day. It was a fun game to play then and I am very excited to hear that FF is picking it up.
You got me on this one. Panel 2 nice.
Funny man… really funny
Panel 3 man… lol
Who else thought of the cumsprite from Oglaf.com when they saw those little guys?
I’ve been a fan forever. My most anticipated buy hopefully this year is their remake of the old Dune boardgame with the Twilight Imperium theme.
My favorite FF game is Battlestar Galactica. While I was 50/50 on the TV show, I love the entire paranoia atmosphere of the game. That and claiming other players are “frakkin’ toasters!”
Hmmm… The “jizwar.com” and “jiz-war.com” domains are available!
Who’s with me?
