Sorry about missing last week, folks. Lots of things going on! But that just means that I got to spend even more time figuring out what my fourth entry should be. We made it through the Wasteland, so let’s see what the next game universe on this list is.

We’re getting close to the end, ladies and gentlemen. This week, I’ll show you and Odin just who won spot No. 2 and why.

For a game master, there are few sights more dismaying than a table full of distracted players. They forget the names of your prominent NPCs; they quote from The Office ad nauseam when it’s not their turn in combat; they surf the web on their iPhones while you’re trying to feed them the clue they need to figure out who’s been killing innocent villagers. While none of these are uncommon occurrences at anyone’s table, no matter how skilled a storyteller she may be, there are a few techniques that a GM can use to grab their attention and hold it.
(Continued after the break.)
Lwaxana Troi and Jeffrey Combs have pleased Odin so far. Will number three please the All-Father as well?
(Find out who number three is after the break)
I love science fiction, and I love video games. So it’s quite fortuitous for me that the sci-fi genre has been a staple of video games practically since they were invented. (Fun fact: Pong is actually supposed to be two alien space ships battling each other.) (Another fun fact: That’s not true at all.)
So I decided to compile a list of my top five favorite sci-fi worlds/universes from (current generation) video games in no real order. “Why just current gen?” you ask? Because it’s getting late and I don’t have the patience to do the amount of thinking it would require to think about older games. Also, this list is limited to games I’ve played. And I don’t own a PS3. So please, don’t accuse me of any fanboyism. I can’t talk about how great Resistance is if I’ve never played it.
And now, without further ado, onto the list!
(This is the last ado. The list begins after the jump.)
