Plastic people

December 14, 2005 by Tim

The new trailer for Splinter Cell 4 looks pretty hot, but it nags me on one front. It was the one thing that bugged me a little about Condemned. Why does everyone look plastic? I mean seriously, everything has an artificial “sheen” to it. Why? Real people don’t shine like that unless you take a […]

A couple of CAD-related announcements to start the day. First of all, Digital Overload registration prices go up to $45 on Friday (from $40). We’ve announced our first two sponsors, Crucial and Zboard, who will be giving away prizes at the event. I’ll have my own fair share of prizes to give away to attendees, […]

Bear in a cup

I got into Condemned this past weekend, and it is now one of my favorite titles for the 360. It may be short and completely linear, but the atmostphere is unmatched. It had me and a few friends scream out on more than one occasion. It gets the adrenaline up and the nerves on edge. […]

Thanks for the laughs

Richard Pryor died of a heart attack yesterday. He was such a great comedian. Thanks for the laughs, Mr. Pryor.

EVE channel

Some people have set up a Ctrl+Alt+Del channel in EVE. If you want to talk to other CAD fans in-game, join the channel “ctrlaltdel”.

Hulk Smash

Oh my sweet fucking robot christ! What the bloody shitbricks?! Dead or Alive 4 has been pushed back AGAIN! Look, Tecmo, how about you stop circle-jerking us. Just be honest. That game is never coming out, is it? It doesn’t even exist, does it? You just wanted some attention, some love, so you whipped up […]

You know those days, the ones where you wake up with a list of things you want to accomplish, thinking to yourself how you’ll be super-productive that day? And then you sit down to do something intending only to do it for an hour or so, and you wind up wasting the whole day on […]

Blackout and EVE

December 8, 2005 by Tim

Lack of news yesterday because I’m in overdrive-mode with CAD projects around the office here. However, in my spare moments I’ve been taking advantage of the EVE 14-day free trial. It’s pretty nifty. I’m putting around on Tranquility on my newbie ship, by the name of Absath. If you play EVE, feel free to say […]

X-Men 3 Teaser

Get it while it’s hot.

Swap

December 5, 2005 by Tim

Hey, if any of you every manage to hack the gibson and find a way to transfer saved games from the original Xbox to the 360, you be sure to let me know. There’s got to be some third party peripheral manufacturer out there working on this…

By now most of you have seen the huge announcement that Ctrl+Alt+Del will soon be available in delicious animated form. The feedback has been outstanding, and I’m happy to see that so many of you approve of the animated trailer. It’s very important to me that the animation remain as true to the comic as […]

Because I’ve gotten a few emails about this: Yes, we fully intend to offer subtitled versions of the Animated Series for the hearing impaired.

Perhaps not as colossal as the one above, but I still think it’s really damned cool. I had been considering doing faceplates for the Xbox 360, but then I figured “why do a measely faceplate when we could skin the whole machine in sexiness?!”. And so I proudly present to you, the upcoming Ctrl+Alt+Del Xbox […]

You heard correctly. Ctrl+Alt+Del is going animated. The Animated Series will debut in February of 2006, consisting of a brand new 4-5 minute animated short every month. All new material, fully animated, featuring professional voice actors hand chosen from over 1400 auditions. The episodes are written by me, directed/produced by Ryan Sohmer and Randy Waxman, […]

And I’ll be back later to give you the details.

Soon

Looks like I’ll be able to make the announcement right around midnight-ish. Eastern time.
