The complete second issue of Analog and D-Pad is now available for purchase. Pages will begin posting to the website for free later in April.

I’ve been playing a lot of Bloodborne this past week. I like it… but I don’t think I like it as much as the Souls games before it. It’s roughly ninety-percent the same concept; the mechanics, the atmosphere, the punishing difficulty. That’s all present and accounted for. However, it’s been admitted by From Software, and […]

There aren’t a whole lot of games where you play as a cop, and I think the reasoning is fairly simple: real police work just isn’t much fun. It’s one part action and excitement and fifty parts paperwork and bureaucracy. There are too many rules involved with being an officer of the law to make […]

Issue two of The Starcaster Chronicles is now available for you to own as a high res digital PDF, if you’re into that sort of thing. And of course, my $3+ Patrons get these comic PDFs for free when they’re released, on top of other bonuses.

I realize now I never actually posted any thoughts on The Order 1886 after finishing it. It was indeed a short game; my playthrough clocked in at around the eight hour mark. I played on the hardest difficulty, so that includes playing through a couple of sequences multiple times, as viewers of the stream can […]

While drawing this comic, I found myself hoping that enough people had seen Heat by now that the reference wouldn’t be too obscure. But regardless, it summed up my feelings pretty well. If you haven’t seen Michael Mann’s crime film, you should. But moreover, it is the heist/robbery film by which I find myself measuring […]

Uploaded the flats, will replace them with the fully rendered page as soon as I receive it.

I’m putting the remaining stock of the Limited Run Console Wars Propaganda posters up for sale. This is what’s left of the small batch I held back to replace damaged or lost orders from last year’s sale. These are in very limited quantities (especially the Nintendo poster), so if you wanted one then (or just […]

Just run. The Aphelion isn’t as fast, but it’s fairly as maneuverable. We just need to shake the mercenary long enough to jump away. 19525  Join the Federation ships in the fight. Charge in and open fire. We don’t need to win a dogfight, but maybe forcing our opponent back onto his heels will give […]

There are a number of reports floating around right now that suggest The Order 1886 can be beaten in roughly six hours. While I think those plays are intentionally speedy, and the game is probably closer to ten hours, there are still a lot of articles present the game’s length as borderline scandalous. That a […]

I’d love to gauge your opinion on the way I release The Starcaster Chronicles. This poll is not necessarily indicative of an incoming change, but I’d love to see if there’s a strong consensus one way or another. With Analog and D-Pad, I’m able to complete an entire issue before it’s released. This allows me […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
