Coney Island Represent

October 24, 2005 by Tim

Before I started playing The Warriors from Rockstar, I made a point to go out and pick up the latest director’s cut of the film. I hadn’t seen the movie since I was much much younger, so I wanted to see it again for two reason. First, to gear up for the game, and second, […]

Oh sweet robot christ

October 21, 2005 by Tim

I’m willing to bet these kids never knew what it was like to keep their lunch money past homeroom. But they did the Zelda theme, and that makes them ok in my book.

Oh you saw the World of Warcraft expansion info posted on a forum, eh? Or in some Italian gaming magazine? Then it must be true! Until Blizzard officially announces the expansion information, I suggest holding everything else at speculation. I have just received official word from Blizzard that the new playable Horde race will be […]

Let’s talk about World of Warcraft for a moment, shall we? I love this game. Ok, now let’s talk about the World of Warcraft expansion for a moment. I have seen a lot of speculation lately about what the new races are going to be. Well, at least for the Horde side. Nobody seems have […]

More important things to focus on

October 19, 2005 by Tim

Boy, there sure has been a lot of anti-Jack Thompson sentiment flying around lately. A lot of it has been flying its way into my inbox, which I guess I find to be no surpise given my recent comments on the topic. I want to sort of clarify a few things here. I definitely do […]

A whole city just for them

October 17, 2005 by Tim

So I tried out the City of Villains beta this weekend. I mean really tried it out. I had some limited experience with it at E3, but with the beta I got to sit down and really play around with it. As happened with City of Heroes, I spent the most of my time on […]

It has not disappeared

October 14, 2005 by Tim

We have just about decided on a city, venue and date for the CAD LAN party next year. I promise I will get that information to you just as soon as things are settled. I don’t want to announce it until we’ve signed a contract and things are set in “stone”. But trust me when […]

Too funny

October 13, 2005 by Tim

In the thousands of emails I’ve gotten in the past twenty-four hours, I’ve seen dozens and dozens of offers to actually make my “Tack Jhompson” video game. Even a couple from honest-to-goodness large-developer employees. But one person, Lancelot on our forums, took it one step further, and I thought I’d share it with you. He’s […]

An open letter to Jack Thompson

October 12, 2005 by Tim

I don’t want to waste too much of my time on this guy; deep down we all know that not even being skullfucked by a cinderblock is going to knock any common sense into this guy. But certain things still need to be said. Many of you have heard about his “modest proposal”. Aside from […]

Shades of gray

October 10, 2005 by Tim

I’ve put in more time with Black and White, so I now feel qualified to tell you that this game is wonderful. That’s my professional opinion. Not that I wasn’t expecting anything Peter Molyneux touched not to turn to gold, but you have to remain skeptical if you want to form a solid opinion. Who […]

I chose the wolf

October 7, 2005 by Tim

Today’s comic is the first Ctrl+Alt+Del inked entirely in the computer. The methods and techniques I’ve used to create the comic since I began have changed a few times, but nothing drastic in the last year and a half until now. Previously I would pencil and ink the artwork by hand, and then scan it […]

Lost

October 6, 2005 by Tim

Can anyone out there hook me up with the first three episodes of this season’s Lost? Wow, you guys never cease to amaze with the speediness of your responses. Thanks a bunch everyone! I’m downloading the episodes right now, so I can get caught up with the season in progress. It will be the first […]

Technology, wow! Part Two

October 5, 2005 by Tim

I got my Cintiq 21UX today, and obviously I had to try it out right away. I got the thing all set up and grabbed one of the sketches from my journal, and started messing around. I did that in less than ten minutes. It works like a dream. Everything just feels so natural and […]

Been having a lot of fun with my World of Warcraft guild on Dark Iron lately, The Rapscallions. We’re really a tight-knit community, and it shows. The other night word came through guild chat that some L40 Human Mage and his buddies were ganking solo Rapscallions out in Arathi. As I was only down in […]

I suppose as someone who makes it a point to stay on top of what is happening in the wonderful world of video games, it can be easy for me to forget that not everyone craves this level of complete knowledge of what has been, what is, and what soon will be. So when my […]
