The devil is in the details

November 29, 2006 by Tim

I want to talk for a moment about some game features I’d like to see more of. For me, most of the time, it’s the details in a game that really make it shine. I mean all the obvious stuff like good graphics, good controls, good story, etc, are a given. I mean we all […]

RSV Ranking

November 27, 2006 by Tim

Actually I guess you don’t need to play in ranked matches to unlock stuff. Very good to know.

Stuffed

by Tim

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I spent the week up on Cape Cod with my family, eating lots of food and relaxing. Yes, I know Player Four has been unlocked, and I will update the Bios page eventually, just relax. I was on vacation. So boy, I sure was wrong about some games. […]

Good Gaming and Turkey

November 20, 2006 by Tim

So lets talk about some video games, shall we? First of all, am I the only one who was severely disappointed by the Rainbow Six: Vegas multiplayer demo that hit the marketplace this weekend? I don’t know what happened. I loved the single player demo, and I guess I had high-hopes for the multiplayer portion […]

I approve

November 17, 2006 by Tim

Of Daniel Craig as James Bond.

In the above newspost I suggested that the guy that ran into the pole could have possibly been a moron. After watching video of the event, I think that perhaps the fault is not entirely his own. He may be a moron, I really don’t know. But I feel sorry for the kid, I bet […]

Indeed

by Tim

I’ll tell you, I don’t feel sorry for all the people that camped out for a PS3 and went home empty handed. If you’re desperate enough for a video game that you needed to camp outside in the cold and rain for a week, you better have understood the score. However this is some really […]

Gamma bomb

November 15, 2006 by Tim

So the Xfire chat went really well last night. Those are always a lot of fun. Thanks to everyone who showed up and asked questions. If you didn’t make it, I’ll post the transcript as soon as they tell me it’s ready. Ctrl+Alt+Del was mentioned on MTV last night. As I was getting ready to […]

Prepare for launch

November 13, 2006 by Tim

You know, there are a ton of video games shipping this week, and not a single one interests me. Don’t get me wrong, I have not forgotten that we are on the verge of the next-generation onslaught, but to be perfectly honest, beneath all the Wii/PS3 hype, I’m not that excited. There are only a […]

Hey webhead

November 10, 2006 by Tim

A couple of things to start with. I’d like to wish the United States Marine Corps a happy 231st birthday. My uncle is a Marine, and I have a lot of respect for all of the men and women in our country’s armed forces. So go out and celebrate this weekend! The Spider-man 3 trailer […]

Mtv and Xfire Gamer’s Week

November 8, 2006 by Tim

Hey hey. So before I retreat into my Gears of War cocoon for the day, I wanted to let you know that I’m participating in Mtv/Xfire’s Gamer’s Week. It looks like my stuff is scheduled for Tuesday, November 14th. We’ll do a chat, and then I’ll play some video games with people (BF2 I think, […]

Emergence

by Tim

I was itching to do some Gears of War artwork, so yesterday I whipped this picture up. You can see the pencils and inks in my journal. I promise once I wake up I’ll make the wallpaper into other resolutions, I just need sleep right now. Update: I’ve added a whole bunch of new wallpaper […]

The Comic Book

November 6, 2006 by Tim

I have fallen prey to the hype. Well, not the hype, per se, but I’ve definitely been bitten by the Emergence Day bug. Whereas I’ve somehow managed to keep my blinders relatively clear of Gears of War for the duration of its production, now on the eve of its release I’ve become really psyched. I’ve […]

Ryzom GameDay, epilogue

November 4, 2006 by Tim

The Ryzom GameDay was fun, thanks to everyone who came out. We spent a good while running around like a swarm of locusts, destroying (or being destroyed by) everything in our path. We also played around with some dueling and some free-for-all pvp for a bit. Towards the end we all made fat monkey-men and […]

Ryzom GameDay

by Tim

The Ryzom GameDay has started, if you want to come goof off with us. The server is Cho.

Ryan Yonce

by Tim

A few weeks back I did an Xfire chat, and one of the prizes we gave away was the chance to have your likeness used for an extra in a comic strip. Ryan Yonce was the guy that won, and I’ve included his semblance in today’s strip. Not the guy protecting his kibbles and bits, […]
