TGS

September 20, 2006 by Tim

Holy crap, Microsoft is just clobbering Sony today. First of all, they’ve partnered with Hironobu Sakaguchi, the guy behind the Final Fantasy series to deliver two exclusive RPG’s to the 360. The first of which, Blue Dragon, will be packaged with the core 360 system in Japan for the holidays to help move the system. […]

So if you hadn’t heard, the Tokyo Games Show starts this week. It’s kind of a big deal. Then it’s followed by X06, which is another big thing for Microsoft and the 360. So Microsoft will be putting up a whole bunch of demos and videos up on XBL this week, supposedly starting today, for […]

Bring a friend

September 18, 2006 by Tim

I spent the weekend playing through Lego Star Wars 2 on co-op, and it was everything the original was and more. Everything that was great about the first was still intact, and they even added more items to collect and some cool new features. It also seemed like the game was more “lego-ish” than the […]

Sunday Bloody Sunday

September 15, 2006 by Tim

So we’ve got the Wiinformation. November 19th at $250. A few bills less than any other next-gen console and I’ve still seen people complaining that it’s too expensive. Go figure. I do like that they scrapped DVD playback on the system, to shave some dollars off the price tag. Smart thinking, there. So end of […]

I’m not the man they think I am at home

September 13, 2006 by Tim

Oh no no no I’m a rocket man. What the heck is this crap? European exclusive? Since when does Europe deserve anything exclusive? Everyone knows America is the only real country. I jest, I jest. Ease those indignant little fingers off the email “send” button. … The last thing anyone stateside wants is another boring, […]

Some stuff

September 12, 2006 by Tim

The picture is a simple sketch on paper, with digital watercolors in Painter, and a few touch-ups in Photoshop. The quote is from Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. The faint shadow in the picture is the shadow of the World Trade Center cross, the only memorial currently standing at the WTC site. Thank your for all […]

Xfire Chat

September 8, 2006 by Tim

The Xfire chat was lots of fun, as I expected. Many thanks to all the great fans who signed up, and to the Xfire team for running everything, and sorting through the madness for questions for me to answer. I’ll post whenever the transcript is made available.

I just couldn’t pass up a Rocky reference. So I had a great time in Vegas. I gambled a little bit, and actually stayed even for the entirety of the trip, which was sort of frustrating. I went over to Hart and Huntington which was neat. They were busy, and said they could fit me […]

Zzzz

Back from Vegas. Newspost after sleep.

Just doin’ the Vegas thing

Went to see an improv show at Harrah’s last night. I have to give this guy a shout-out. I thought Jeremy Hotz was hilarious. On my comedian scale he was easily above Dane Cook, and just below or on-par with Jim Gaffigan. So if you hear the name Jeremy Hotz on tv or wherever, stop and […]

Steve Irwin

September 4, 2006 by Tim

I’m sure most of you have heard already, but Steve Irwin was killed by a sting-ray while swimming off the Low Isles.He was a crazy sonuvabitch, but I always enjoyed his stuff. His show was fun to watch, as was his over-the-top personality. He seemed genuinely passionate about what he did, and the animals he surrounded […]

So I’m making this newspost from my hotel room in sunny Las Vegas, where I will be for the majority of this week. I didn’t mention it previously because it’s a surprise visit, and the people we’re surprising read all of my blogs and websites.Anyway, don’t worry. I got your weekly doses of comicness finished […]

Cars!

September 2, 2006 by Tim

I want these cars to drive over the whole world. It would be awesome.

Made of fish!

September 1, 2006 by Tim

As fun as Saint’s Row multiplayer is, there are some real flaws with the way its set up. First would be a problem with lag. Hopefully that can be optimized with a patche sometime in the future. However in the meantime, there is no control over how many people are in a match. You have […]
