SCARAB is something that is taking the gaming community by storm in the Carolinas. Del Collins and his team have put on a gaming con in Columbia, SC for the past 3 years. With a clear vision, solid staff and good leadership, SCARAB has developed a solid foundation that is going to do nothing but grow and flourish over the next several years. However, SCARAB is more than just the con. SCARAB is actually the organization behind the con as well as dozens of game days throughout the year, throughout South Carolina and northern Georgia. So the SCARAB Convention is just one facet of what they do for the gaming community but it’s the culmination of all their efforts the previous year.

My Verdict on Prometheus
I finally got to see the much maligned so-called “prequel” to my favorite movie franchise (Alien/Aliens) – Prometheus. Although not without its flaws, I do feel that the amount of criticism it is taking is unfair. It is by far not the best in the franchise but it’s not the worst. To start with, my…
