I can hear the cries of disbelief now.

"Gaming Music? Really? You're talking about those blips and bleeps and heavy metal loops that don't mean anything?"

Nope, not at all. What I'm talking about is the cream of the crop. The music that like opera and and the greatest of film soundtracks, manages to create an environment and an emotion. In many ways audio is more responsible for the immersion of some of the greatest pieces of interactive fiction ever made.

Once again, it's time to turn our attention to the well known liberal bias of the media. Today we'll be discussing "Strategy Games" or as they should be called, "Liberal Brainwashing Games."

I think it's time that I come clean on one of my more unusual hobbies, especially for a die-hard anti-war guy.

I play miniatures war games.

Now, that may seem like a contradiction in terms, but when you look at the history of these games, the truth is that it is not quite as bizarre as you might think.

First off, the first true mini war games was designed, published, and played by one of the most anti-war authors of his generation, Herbert George Wells.
