Ok, so here’s the deal, as its been relayed to me, concerning the lecture I’m doing Thursday evening at RPI. Tickets are available to the public starting today. You’ll need to call the office with your name and how many tickets you’ll need, and you can pick your tickets up at the event with some […]

Ok, first things first (and since I get a few emails a day about it), what’s left of the Ctrl+Alt+Del books are now on sale in the store. We’ve marked them down to $14.95, and when they’re gone, they’re gone for a while. It will probably be early next year before I get around to […]

So we’ll do a Battlefield 2142 GameDay tomorrow. You can grab the demo here, or, I dunno, somewhere else. The GameDay thread is here. I’ll catch you guys tomorrow afternoon. I’ve been playing Dawn of War: Dark Crusade when I have the free time, and really enjoying it. The Necron are my personal army of […]

Just a little good-natured Sony teasing today. Again. Though I think they’ve done plenty in recent months that deserves to be made fun of, honestly, I don’t believe that Sony’s many, many perceived transgressions with this system are going to really impact launch sales all that much. Certainly not as much as the people crying […]

So Dawn of War: Dark Crusade should be shipping today, which I’m excited about. I’ve been playing a bit of the first game and expansion, and I’m anxious to get behind the Necron, my 40K army of choice. There’s a Battlefield 2142 demo out, so I’m thinking about having a short GameDay this Saturday. I […]

News of some sort forthcoming. I need to see a mattress about some sleep.

Have you heard about this new texture compression technology? I’ve always been interested in the texture side of video games. Some of you know that way back before I started this comic, I used to do a lot of skinning in the Jedi Knight 2 community. Making these files smaller opens up a lot of […]

Been following this for a tick. Oh man. The overwhelming flood of memories. Awesome. The Prestige comes out in a few weeks. This is one that I’ve really been looking forward to. Check out the trailer, if you haven’t seen it. Speaking of “in a few weeks”, I’ll be giving a lecture at the Rensselaer […]

So X-men 3 comes out on DVD this week. I know this because I haven’t been able to turn around for the past two weeks without being advertised to about it. It’s been a veritable media blitz. I ordered a pizza last week, and even the fucking pizza box was letting me know about the […]

Heh, I was cleaning up one of my external hard drives yesterday, and came across a couple of videos I made right after The Movies came out. I threw ’em up on YouTube if anyone wants to see them. They’re pretty ridiculous.

Been looking forward to this one. Here’s a demo.

Graaarrr! As if there weren’t enough games coming out in the next few months to eat up what spare free time I manage to get, now Brian has gone and got me interested in Dawn of War. With so many RTS games out there, I’d always just let Dawn of War float under my radar. […]

I’ve become a bit of a “next-gen” snob. I don’t mind admitting it. In the past year since the release of the 360, my GameCube, PS2 and original Xbox controllers have collected their fair share of dust, for a variety of reasons. With the limited free time I have to play games, I usually default […]

So I’ve had the trailer for Frank Miller’s 300 up all weekend, so I imagine most of you have seen it by now. I read the graphic novel sometime back, and I love that they’re making it into a movie. It’s such a fun take on the Battle of Thermopylae. I’ve heard some people around […]

300 (PS: This trailer is getting yanked from everywhere I see it posted. Watch it while you can.) (Update- Yep it’s gone now. But this link still works. Muahaha.)

So Microsoft has decided to repair any busted Xbox 360 that was manufactured in 2005 for free. Some of you may (and did; thanks for the emails) remember that my first-gen Xbox bit the dust a couple of weeks ago. Well, thankfully I haven’t done anything about it yet, so I’m going to fire it […]
