SUMO just launched their mobile site, and to celebrate, are offering discounts on all chairs purchased via mobile. They also sent me over some special Black Friday coupon codes you guys can use to save as well. $50 off the Gigantor and Titan (my personal favorite) beanbag chairs: BLACK50 $100 off the Maximus and Titanium […]
And with that, issue one draws to a close. Regularly scheduled updates will resume on November 28th. Enjoy your Thanksgiving, everyone!
Five Things I Like About Dragon Age Inquisition 1) One of the biggest complaints I, and many others, had about Dragon Age 2 were the tiny, repetitive corridors that functioned as the game’s “dungeons/areas.” They had one linear stretch of cliffside, for instance, and you visited it fifty million times over the course of the […]
A few weeks ago I mentioned a hypothetical Ctrl+Alt+Del 1.0 “boxed set.” A book set collecting the first ten years of comic strips in one place. While it’s way, way too early to really go into much detail, I had also discussed a potential format for these books, in which all of the original Ethan […]
Far Cry 4 is fun. It’s Far Cry 3, but better. There’s some bugginess, but nothing I haven’t managed to overlook. Co-op is the best new addition. GTA5 next gen… I haven’t played much of it, but it’s GTA5. With better graphics. So that’s awesome. The first-person mode tipped me over the edge to buying […]
If you enjoy roguelikes in the vein of FTL, I highly recommend you check out This War of Mine. It just launched on Friday. It puts you in the position of civilians trying to survive in the middle of a warzone, a perspective we don’t often get to see in video games. From a gameplay […]
Five Things I Liked About Assassin’s Creed Unity 1) Paris. Wow. The city is the true star of this game. The graphics of Unity are definitely a joy to experience, and scream “this is next gen.” While Black Flag had some enjoyable naval stuff going on, none of the carribean settlements can hold a candle […]
So I fired up some Unity last night. I only got to play a small portion of it, because my download got interrupted over the course of the day, and I only had a fraction of playable data to work with. Still, it gave me a taste of the game, and I got up this […]
Just a reminder that if you don’t want to wait for daily updates, you can always purchase and read the entire first digital issue of Analog and D-Pad. The support is always appreciated, but by no means mandatory. Everyone gets the same issue, you can just decide how quickly you want to get it.
The recording from the live reboot Q&A the other night is now online if you missed it. Something was up with my mic, so there’s some feedback happening from time to time. Didn’t realize it until after the stream was over, and there’s not much I can do about it now, so I’d suggest just […]
If you’ve been visiting the site long enough, you may remember me talking about my friend Christian DeReimer from time to time. I originally met Christian way back at the first Digital Overload in 2006, and for the past eight years I’ve been fortunate enough to get to know him and his family a bit. […]
I’m going to do a live Q&A on Twitch this evening at 6pm EST. Tune in and join chat to ask questions. Alternatively, if you can’t make the live stream, you can leave a question for me on Twitter @TimCAD and I’ll try to get to it. I’d like to keep the focus on questions […]

Tonight at 9pm EST I’ll be streaming some more of the Evolve alpha. Tune in if you’d like to watch, or even join the chat and hang out. Watch live video from TimCAD on www.twitch.tv Here’s the Evolve footage from the other night:
Starting today, for the next 28 days, the comic will update daily. One new page a day until the issue is complete. You can choose to check in every day for the new page, you can wait a while and then catch up on a bunch of pages, or if you wish, you can purchase […]
With Issue #01 of the new Ethan and Lucas adventures imminent, I want to take one last chance to direct your expectations. The new series will be written and produced in the same fashion as a comic book. Each “issue” will be completed in its entirety before it is released. When I release an issue, […]
There’s a conception among the MOBA genre that each new big game since DOTA gets progressively… simpler. “Casual” is the derogatory term I see thrown around quite often (though it also has crossover with MMOs). And there’s some merit to the argument. League removed some of the perceived difficulty of DOTA in a move towards […]
I’m going to be streaming Civilization: Beyond Earth at noon EST. Join me for some warmongering space racism! Watch live video from TimCAD on www.twitch.tv

They wiped the alpha accounts some time back. I need to re-level my account, now that they’ve promised no more wipes. Streaming a bit of it: Watch live video from TimCAD on www.twitch.tv
This week I take a quick look at cutting panels in MS.
Oh, the developers of Hatred might be a bunch of racist, homophobic neo-nazis? I’m so surprised. …Said no one.
I’m not one to shy away from violence in my video games. I’ve enjoyed my Carmageddons, my Soldier of Fortunes, my Mortal Kombats over the years. I don’t consider myself desensitized to violence; violence and trauma in the real world still makes my stomach churn. My wife, a medical professional, told me things she saw […]
I’ve played through about six hours of The Evil Within so far, and it appears to find itself comfortably situated halfway between Outlast (my bar for survival horror games) and Resident Evil. It isn’t as consistently tense or scary as Outlast, and while it shares a lot with Resident Evil (obviously), it does a better […]
