Just a quick note to warn you that I will be doing some maintenance tonight on the forums. In short, this means a few of you will have to find something else to do for 2-5 hours. I’m sure you’ll find something :). Once it’s done, the forums should be back at full speed. Thanks!
Today is a huge day for us here at Ctrl+Alt+Del. Last night at midnight, the pilot episode for the Ctrl+Alt+Del Animated Series launched to rave reviews from subscribers. We’re really happy how everything came together for this first episode, and judging by the feedback we’ve been getting, everyone loves it! It’s very, very exciting for […]
Survival horror games are practically a dime-a-dozen nowadays. There are a few franchises that have seen success, such as Silent Hill, or Fatal Frame. But there is one that was my introduction to the genre, perhaps the most well-known of them all, and some might say the one responsible for the explosion of the genre. […]
The Nintendo 64 was an awesome system. It was one of those systems we pre-ordered way in advance with all the money we had to our name, and begged our parents to pick up for us the day it was released, while we were in school. It had a handful of games that stand out […]
It took nearly three years of my life, and to this day still hasn’t given them back. Every time I thought I was out, it dragged me back in again. I fed it my money, blood, sweat, tears, sleep and social life, and I have nothing to show for it. Except fond memories and a […]
So Vericon this past weekend was pretty great. It was a small convention, but I met a bunch of great people, and hand a good time. Nothing was going on Friday, but Saturday afternoon I got to hang out with Randy Milholland, Jeph Jacques, and my longtime friend Mookie. We did a panel that ran […]
So I need to do a tribute for today, but I’m going to postpone it. I had such an amazing day at the convention today. I have a lot of stuff to jabber about, but I’m going to save it for Monday. But as if that weren’t enough, tonight was pretty awesome as well. My […]
The game I chose for day three of my little personal tribute is a game that many of you may have missed. The reason for that is because it was an Atari Jaguar exclusive. Aliens vs. Predator was easily my favorite game on the Jaguar. In fact, I would reckon it was the best game […]
I’m on my way up to Boston for Vericon. Here are the details I have about where I’ll be and when. On Saturday, from 1:30pm to 3pm I’ll be doing a panel with the other webcomics present. You can come ask me questions, pick my brain about whatever. Directly after that, from 3:15pm to 4:45pm […]
There are some games that stay with us not just for the graphics, or the gameplay or the bonus levels, but because of the memories they generate. For me one of those games is Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast. For me this game is iconic. It will always hold a special place in my heart. […]
You’ve probably heard me talk about it here and there. I mentioned it in one of the CAD books, it was mentioned in the comic strip once. I know I’ve mentioned it on the front page from time to time. I couldn’t possibly pay tribute to seven of my favorite games of all time without […]
So it’s here. The first day of the celebration that gamers have been anticipating and preparing for all month. Winter-een-mas starts today! I hope you’ve all got your game systems warmed up. Last year, for the seven days of Winter-een-mas, I paid tribute to seven different game developers that have had some impact on my […]
Digital Overload, the big Ctrl+Alt+Del LAN party is only a short month and a half away. Some people, especially those farthest away from the convention center, have been asking if it is possible to rent a computer instead of transporting their own. We now have a solution for those people. We’ve hooked up with Best […]
Is it possible? I have no idea how legitimate this is, so if anyone can enlighten me I’m happy to listen. It would seem that some group of people are interested in seeing if it would be possible to get Firefly independantly funded, directly by the viewers, very similarly to what I’m doing with the […]
A lot of my Australian readers have written in to inform me that Koala’s are not in fact “bears”. They are just Koala. I guess I never actually assumed they were part of the “bear” family, but “Koala Bear” is just how I’ve always known them. Maybe some reference I picked up as a kid. […]
A general topic interview with me was just posted over at Force Council, if that sort of thing interests you. It seems like every time I turn around lately, I’m giving an interview somewhere. I’ve given nearly a half a dozen newspaper interviews this month just about Winter-een-mas. I still find it amazing that something […]
