I’ve updated the Digital Overload Tournaments page to include a Guitar Hero 2 tournament. It should be pretty metal. Speaking of Metal, I’m pleased to announce that Mookie of Dominic Deegan will be returning to Digital Overload this year. Mookie eats hard rock for breakfast, and follows the religion of Guitar Hero piously. You can […]
A lot of people seem to be interested in the game, but right now the only way to play is by getting a friend referral. Well, one reader emailed me with the idea of creating a referral chain, to get people invited. So I created this thread, where hopefully we can get some people an […]
Now that the NDA for the Dungeon Runners beta has been lifted, I thought I’d talk about it here for a moment, because I found it to be pretty interesting. Dungeon Runners, if you haven’t heard, is one of NCSoft’s latest MMO’s. NCSoft is quickly becoming an MMO mecca, like Sony Online Entertainment, so much […]
I’ve updated the Digital Overload site with a list of some of the prizes we’ll be giving away at the event. This is not a complete list, and will be regularly updated as we approach the event. We’ve also updated the account section of the site, so if you’ve registered and paid, you can login […]
It is widely known that I am a lifelong Fallout fan. So, to attempt to stem the flow of emails regarding the recently announced MMO ambitions, allow me to publicly confirm that yes, I have heard about it. When Interplay sold the Fallout rights to Bethesda (who is working on the true Fallout sequel) they […]
Like many of you, I have one of those fancy, futuristic, new-wave televisionary receptor devices in my “home of tomorrow”. Mine is even in color. Also past frequenters of this news space may recall that my preferred method of watching these “broadcast moving picture shows” is via DVD releases. Because, admittedly, I am not a […]
I’ve updated the Digital Overload site with some new information on some tournaments we’ll be holding. Every tournament winner at Digital Overload this year will have their name permanantly entered on a “Hall of Fame”, which will be posted on the Digital Overload website after the event, and remain for all to see from year […]
It’s twenty minutes of some of the most painful customer service I’ve ever heard.
The Zeke plushies we have coming didn’t get on the container ship when we thought they did. They’re only just leaving Asia now, so we won’t have them until mid-January. Not a huge deal, because I don’t think they would have shipped in time for Christmas anyway, but just wanted to let you know
I forgot to mention earlier in the week, but I’ll be down in Orlando, Florida in February to attend Megacon. I went a couple of years ago, and despite catching a nasty flu on the way down there, and being sick the entire weekend, it was a really fun convention. Zack Finfrock will be with […]
I’m not holding my breath, because this isn’t a big-name game developer, but they’re making a Firefly MMO. I don’t know. I love Firefly, and it will always hold a very special place in my futuristic, science-fictiony heart, but this is the sort of thing that could really ruin things if done half-assed. Man I […]
If you haven’t been watching Heroes on NBC, you are seriously missing out. Well, you’re in luck. NBC has put all 11 episodes so far up on their website. And the series is on break until after the new year. Get busy watchin’, or get busy dyin’.
A group of Canadians attending Digital Overload 2007 are exploring the idea of renting a bus to travel round trip to and from the event. They’ve started to get quotes, and if they can fill the bus, it ends up being about $100 per person, round trip. If you’re in Canada, and looking for ride […]
No, no, I’m not dead. I know I didn’t make a Monday newspost. I got bogged down with some work, and I figured the Digital Overload announcement could be left up for another couple of days. Speaking of, I’ve updated the Digital Overload site with some official hotel information, and the beginnings of the FAQ […]
Little Gamers has just started pre-orders on their third collection book. And it’s in full-color to boot. I’ve been friends with those crazy swedes since way back when I first started, and they’re really great guys. Go check out Little Gamers! As far as my books, I have an update for you. Analog and D+Pad […]
It’s Digital Overload 2007 announcement day! The website is up, and registration is open. A million thanks to Jeff Baxter for helping us get it up and running! In March of 2006 we hosted the first Digital Overload, a giant LAN party for the fans of Ctrl+Alt+Del. Hundreds of gamers showed up and gamed the […]
