Lasers solve everything. Open with a barrage from the Aphelion’s cannons and try to at least scatter the patrol long enough to run. 2168 – 6% Gun it. Trust in Speck’s considerable skills as a pilot to dodge the patrol long enough to make a getaway. 6890 – 18% Whoa now, let’s not panic. Maybe […]

Darkest Dungeon

February 9, 2015 by Tim

If you enjoy tough, turn-based roguelikes, you need to grab Darkest Dungeon on Steam. I typically try not to recommend buying games that are still in early access, but I’m making an exception for Darkest Dungeon because it’s so polished that it feels almost like a finished product. It’s missing the final two areas of […]

Thank you

February 7, 2015 by Tim

I appreciate you all taking a moment to respond to the poll I posted regarding the CAD 1.0 complete collection/omnibus/I haven’t decided what to call it yet. While votes do not equal purchases, I’m please to say that if only a fraction of the people who expressed interest in owning this collection actually pledge to […]

While it’s no particular secret if you follow the newsposts or my Twitter feed, I am officially working on a Ctrl+Alt+Del 1.0 Complete Book Set. I define Ctrl+Alt+Del 1.0 as everything from the very first comic up to the end of the original Ethan and Lucas storyline in Novemver 2012. In other words, the first […]

Dying Light

January 28, 2015 by Tim

Dying Light is fairly easy to sum up: A Better Dead Island. It makes sense, a the same company worked on both franchises. But Dying Light takes some of the best parts of Dead Island (the melee combat and the weapons crafting) sprinkles in a little Far Cry and grafts it all onto a post […]

The Starcaster Chronicles #02

January 19, 2015 by Tim

This week begins issue #2 of The Starcaster Chronicles! It’s been a little while, so if you want to brush up on where Cort and Speck left off, you can read all of issue #1 starting here. Kate Finnegan will be joining me on colors this issue. I really enjoyed working with her on Analog […]

iPhone App

January 16, 2015 by Tim

If you use the Ctrl+Alt+Del iPhone app, you’ve likely found by now that it is not updating. Unfortunately, the iPhone app will no longer be supported moving forward. We’ve elected not to renew the contract with the company that built and ran the app. You should retain access to all of your in-app purchases, but […]

Drawing the comic, sped up 6000%  

I want to bring some attention to a family in need of a little kindness this winter. Matt and Rachel Casale’s worlds were turned upside down last month when, just a few days before Christmas, their 3-year-old little girl was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). As a parent myself now, they are living one of […]

Drawing today’s comic, sped up over 6000%.

Background art

January 7, 2015 by Tim

There are a couple of pieces of background art in today’s comic, one of them is mine, but the awesome Vader watercolor was done by Clementine over at Blule. She does some really cool stuff, and you can buy prints of her work. She’s got a lot of super hero and Star Wars stuff you […]

Elite: Dangerous is one of those games that, on paper (actually, sort of in practice too) sounds really repetitive. However it’s also one of those games that does the details so well, that it almost ends up being the little repeitive things like learning to dock your ship properly that become the defining thrills of […]

Exploits

January 5, 2015 by Tim

Sometimes it feels like for every new item about Destiny and its features, there are two news items about players breaking or circumventing Destiny’s intended mechanics. I imagine this must be rather frustrating for Bungie. After all, this is all very much a learning experience for them. While no doubt they had to manage their […]

Blinkers

December 31, 2014 by Tim

I started collecting the Hot Toys line of Marvel sixth-scale figure this year. I’ve long been a Marvel fan, and I love what they’re doing with their cinematic universe, so when I saw the products Hot Toys were producing, I had to own one. An Iron Man led to a Captain America, which led to […]

Story Mode

December 24, 2014 by Tim

In fairness, beginning to spin some narrative into it’s new world-building franchise makes a lot of sense for Microsoft. Minecraft is huge, we all know that, but if Microsoft wants to start seeing a return on their massive investement, they need to expand and grow the brand. Adding some context and characters to that universe […]

Destiny Redux?

December 15, 2014 by Tim

I still can’t decide if I love or hate Destiny. I fell off playing it pretty hard back in October… I think I just reached the limit of what I was interested in committing to the game at the time. At the cusp of a big game release season, the time required to grind gear […]

Dragon Age: Still Inquisitioning

December 5, 2014 by Tim

I feel like I should provide an update to my Dragon Age: Inquisition thoughts, on account of the fact that I’m still playing it two and a half weeks later, which is possibly the most ringing endorsement I could give a game. Between writing and drawing two full-length comic book series now, the regular strips, […]

Ctrl+Alt+Del Black Friday Sale

November 27, 2014 by Tim

Not to miss out on the festivities, we’ve gone ahead and reduced prices on everything in our online store. If you’ve been interested in a shirt or book we have, you’re going to want to jump on it soon because this is also sort of “now or never” sale. I’m going to be moving forward […]
