June 24th – 30th

Hope you have a great week! We had a busy weekend and we’re really looking forward to a nice game of Root later in the week. Also we finished Cadence of Hyrule! What a fun game, a perfect follow-up to Crypt of the Necrodancer if you’ve already played that, and a perfect introduction to that […]

May 13th – 19th

Happy Mother’s Day to all! We are lucky to have a very good mom who has always been someone we try to emulate. We can only hope that we’ll be as capable and as accomplished as she is over the course of our lives.

May 6th – 12th

Good news! The ROOT expansion pack is fun as heck. We had the delightful experience at Wednesday Games of playing as The Great Duchy, a powerful mole civilization hiding under the feet of the other factions! We were mostly testing that the rules were understandable, which meant a lot of being asked “what do YOU think that means?” but also they pretty much were! The new factions are very straightforward while introducing fun new mechanics!

Feb 18th – 24th

Since we haven’t told you to do so in a while, it is a good idea to support excellent local charitable organization The Northampton Survival Center! They do good work providing food to people in need in our community. It’s a terrible thing that anyone in the Valley goes hungry, and it’s good to alleviate it if you can.

Feb 11th – Feb 17th

This week the big news is Nerd Nite NoHo! Go to it, because it’s a good time for you and yours! World War 2 Club! 50 Conz Street! From 7:00pm – 9:00pm! Be there and be square!

It’s two straight days of fun times where you work on a game start to finish in a short time. Usually the things that […]

We just found out about some new Valley Creators, which is exciting! Mayham Games out of Belchertown. “Your Porkal to New Worlds”, according to their excellent slogan.

Dec 31st – Jan 6th

Into the Spider-Verse was absolutely incredible, go ahead and see it like 3 times.

July 10th – 16th

The Valley Nerd Watch! Spider-Man: Homecoming was a movie we really liked a lot, and we think we can recommend it pretty wholeheartedly. Dragged a bit in places, but overall our favorite take on Peter Parker as Spider-Man pretty much period in a long time. We also had the absolutely positive addition of a young […]

March 13th – March 19th

The Valley Nerd Watch! Most important thing this week? NERDSummit 2017! It’s great, you’re great, you should head there and be great at a great event. You can find out more at NERDSummit.org, and we feel like we really need to emphasize that there’s free food there so basically it’s the best. In other news: […]
