NCL Welcomes Eric; Planet Earth Welcomes Nixon

November 17, 2010/0/0/

It gives me great pleasure to acknowledge and welcome Eric Beal, a med-student from KCOM that contacted us recently about his love of things nerdcore and medicine. From the attached images, I think you’ll agree – the kid has some mad mad skills. Things have been a buzz in the NCL camp lately with the […]

Our apologies for not having manned the blog-cannon for the past few weeks! We’ve literally been NTTGS (noses to the grind-stone) prepping and actually launching the Healing Blade v1.1. Art updates, bug squashes, game revisions, the whole nine. We found ourselves at the always epic Health2.0 conference in downtown San Francisco, where we made the […]

A few posts ago, I waxed lyrical on the merits of good writing.  Ever since we decided to open up our knowledge-base via the Healing Blade wiki, we’ve been searching for a talented writer to take on the task of breathing life into the warriors and creatures of the realm of Soma. A friend of […]

Rehydration Comments

August 19, 2010/0/0/

The emergency room is at once both a fascinating and terrifying place. It is an exercise in balance and limitations, boiling down to either chaos or controlled chaos. This was my observation at a fully staffed, well stocked 400 bed regional referral center in west Texas. It tests the limits of my imagination to fathom […]

Just wanted to give a heads up to folks who wrote in about our site’s wiki being down. Thank you very much! We’re in the process of getting it fixed and should have all of the moving pieces up again. In the spirit of keeping things interesting, I wanted to share with you why we […]

Bacteriodes fragilis: THB Pestilence Profile

July 28, 2010/0/0/

This fetid bottom-feeder is an important part of the natural ecosystem, but can become malevolent if given the opportunity, displaying various resistances to apothecary attacks of late. If this agent is killed by metronidazole combined with cefotaxime, aztreonam OR ceftriaxone, then the pestilence player suffer 1 extra point of damage from this attack.

On Writing

July 18, 2010/3/0/

My wife and I did a film recommendation tradeoff last weekend. With two kids (a two year old and a 6 month old), opportunities to watch films together are rather scarce. The ‘Watch Instantly’ feature on Netflix has been a bit of a godsend, however, as she watches films after the baby has gone to […]
