City of Heroes

April 23, 2004 by Tim

Ok, first, the big news. Cryptic and NCSoft have announced the first expansion for City of Heroes, called City of Villains. It is still in development, and the official announcement will be made at E3 this year. If you want to check out the press release, you can find it here. Now, one of the […]

I’m sorry. I meant to post some news earlier, but I was too busy curled up in the corner with the shakes, swiping at phantom gang members. You see, the City of Heroes beta ended last night, and I now can’t play until Sunday. But the end of beta even was awesome. I’ll touch more […]

CoH Update

April 22, 2004 by Tim

Cryptic, in response to community disatisfaction concerning the method they were originally using for name reservation, has updated their methods slightly. You now have to reserve a name on the actual server you want to play on. What this means is that where I was originally going to wait until this weekend to announce what […]

Oh dear…

If you see an eyesore named “The Fancy” running around on the Justice server, you can thank Christian Otholm.

My friend Brian Carroll has just hit golden strip #100 with his great movie-related web comic, Instant Classic. I suggest you to go check it out. BUT, I have to strongly urge that, if you have never read Instant Classic before, that you start from the beginning and read up to #100, rather than starting […]

Withdrawals

CoH Update. See Below. So, as of late my circadian rhythm has been getting more and more screwed in the proverbial ass. I’m staying up later and later, and waking up later and later. I’m sure you’ve all been here before. Hell, I’ve been here before, countless times. The only way to fix it is […]

Linux CAD Radio

April 19, 2004 by Tim

A reader, Mick Walker, wrote in to inform me that Linux users might have trouble accessing CAD Radio with the above methods, and offers a solution: Just to let you know, that some of your Linux readers may have trouble listening to the online radio stream. I dont know if you wish to inform them […]

So the City of Heroes beta test ends this week. Then there will be a short hiatus, and then the game, after years of development, finally launches publicly next week. I’ve been getting a lot of emails about City of Heroes since I’ve started talking about it here, and it led to an extensive write-up […]

City of Heroes

April 16, 2004 by Tim

I got pretty long winded with my City of Heroes rant, so I decided to move it over here rather than fill up the front page with it. So get check it out of you were interested.

It lives!

by Tim

So originally I had an entirely different comic ready to go for today, and then Interplay goes and announces something like this. Now obviously I can’t let that slip quietly by, especially after the big fuss I made a few weeks back. So straight back to the drawing table I went, literally. So yeah, I’m […]

Warcraft Wallpapers

April 14, 2004 by Tim

Stop! Before you go any further, you may want to read the latest comic first… just a warning. Now, I was feeling all warm and fuzzy, so I decided to turn each of the panels of the latest strip into a wallpaper, because I knew I was going to get asked for it anyway. So […]

Yes, yes, I finally did a World of Warcraft comic. I know a lot of you were hoping for one, so enjoy. I may be inclined to do more in the future. We’ll see. Thank you to everyone who emailed in support of Monday’s news post about the collection book. I’m just as eager as […]

CAD Radio

April 12, 2004 by Tim

As proof that the CAD community is ever-growing, and ever a cool place to be a part of, there is now an Official CAD Radio station. Run by CAD fans, for CAD fans. They play mostly different types of rock, and there are some great DJ’s to entertain you as well. It’s some fun stuff, […]

Yeah yeah, I know I should have had a news post up by now, but I’ve been busy all morning with PURE VIDEO BLISS. Seriously. The new Spiderman 2 trailer looks awesome. Today is the 9th, and tomorrow is the 10th. The Exclusives! wallpaper goes out tomorrow, so today is the last day you can […]

Some real news for you

April 8, 2004 by Tim

Really, this is important stuff. First of all, if you haven’t been following the Clone Wars micro series, you are totally missing out. There is very little cheese, and a whole lot of what Star Wars should be. Fun stuff. Check it out. And also, there is a brand new Painkiller Demo out. It’s not […]

Important Unimportance

April 7, 2004 by Tim

So I’ve given Lineage 2 a second chance. They put up two new servers last week, and given that a good amount of the fucktards had already started their little avatars of stupidity on the first three, I decided I’d have a go at the new digs. So far it’s been pretty good. With five […]

The Splinter Cell GameDay was pretty fun, Unfortunately, a lot of people had a hard time finding the server. But those that did find it joined and had a good time. I’d like to do it again sometime this week, or maybe this weekend, but it will depend on when I find the time. I […]

This is it. It is my birthday. I am 23 years old. I was actually seriously considering taking the day off, but then I decided that you all shouldn’t be gypped of a comic just for some silly little reason like me being born. So your comic is up. Also, today is a CAD GameDay […]

I am going to play Splinter Cell for a couple of (roughly) 2 hour sessions, between 2pm-4pm and between 9pm-11pm. During that time, I will be […]

News Update concerning Splinter Cell GameDay below Well, tomorrow (Saturday, April 3rd) is my birthday. I turn 23 years old. I have existed for 23 years. Not too shabby. I haven’t decided if I’m going to take the day off… most likely not, I’m too stubborn. Probably nothing too exciting. Dinner with my girlfriend, some […]
