Wildstar: Mm mm good.

June 6, 2014 by Tim

I love Wildstar’s interactivity. Wherever it can, the game seems to try and present you with stuff to do, even when it involved simply accessing a terminal or picking something up. Where other MMOs would simply have you click, maybe even wait out a cast timer, Wildstar says “make this happen.” Tap the button, hit […]

Wildstar Guild News

May 31, 2014 by Tim

Just hit Level 12… small snag though, guilds now cost 10gold to create. I don’t think the monetary requirement was there when I looked in early beta. If you want to chip in a few silver to get us there, you can mail it in-game to Exanimus. Otherwise, sit tight while I farm up eight […]

Start the head start already!

May 30, 2014 by Tim

So Battlefield is getting into the Cops and Robbers business. It will be interesting to see how the concept of law and justice meshes with wide-spread murder and bringing buildings. I mean, “levelutions.” We’re just hours away from the Wildstar headstart now. I’m excited to get going, and start meeting all my new guildmates! Like […]

Wildstar Guild Server

May 28, 2014 by Tim

The Ctrl+Alt+Del guild will be on the Avatus server.

And with page 24, Issue 01 of The Starcaster Chronicles comes to a close! I had a tremendous amount of fun writing/drawing this story, and I can’t wait to start Issue 02 in a few months. I’ve been jotting down ideas like crazy. Nic has the issue about halfway colored… he’s a bit further behind […]

Wildstar incoming

May 26, 2014 by Tim

Just one more week to wait before we can finally dig into Wildstar for realsies, with the knowledge that our progress won’t be nuked from orbit. They still have not released a server list… we’re expecting that this week. As soon as they post it, I will post our destination. We will be on a […]

Update: Our guild will be on a PVE server. There are plenty of options for structured PVP (arenas, battlegrounds, warplots) on a PVE server, without alienating people who don’t want to be forced into constant open-world PVP. ___________________________________________ I’m going to need to decide whether our official Wildstar guild will be on a PVE server, […]

Vote for 5/19

Guilds, pages, and patrons!

May 9, 2014 by Tim

The official Ctrl+Alt+Del Wildstar guild will be rolling Exile! 2300 votes, (most of whom I know are not planning to play/join the guild, but whatever), 60% of which were in favor of Exile. I’m psyched. I love the Granok and Mordesh enough that I can simply pretend the Aurin don’t exist. I’ll announce which server […]

Guild time!

May 7, 2014 by Tim

If you’ve been following my blog posts for the past couple of years, you probably know that I’m bananas for Wildstar. I’m definitely going to be playing, and I’m definitely going to start a guild. I have not yet definitely decided which faction to pick, though! I played Exile all through closed beta, and it […]

If you ordered a limited signed Anger Issues print, it has now shipped. US customers should look for it within the next week, international customers should give it a couple of weeks. If your print has not shown up three weeks from today, it’s either on its way back to me or was sucked into the […]

Many moons ago, the first year or two I was drawing this comic strip, I used to accept donations. In return, I would send donators an extra wallpaper or comic each month. Additional content for people that wanted to support the comic in a more direct manner. I tried this again some years later with […]

Vote 4/30

April 30, 2014 by Tim

Chaug and his crew came for blood. Cort managed to even up the odds a bit, but he’s still outnumbered. He can run for the Aphelion behind him, or dive into combat! Make a break for his ship Open fire on Chaug   It was our closest vote yet, neck and neck all day long! You […]

Extra pages this week

April 29, 2014 by Tim

The votes are closed and we’ve renamed the ship! It will hereby be known as the Aphelion (vote results are here). An Aphelion, if you didn’t already know, is the point in the path of a celestial body (like a planet or comet) that is farthest from the sun. It was suggested by one of our […]

Where’d the color go?!

April 28, 2014 by Tim

This is embarrassing… I left the comic in my pants pocket, and it went through the wash, and all the color washed out… Ok, no, that’s obviously not what happened. By the way, did you know we have a Facebook page? I bring it up because I sometimes use to to discuss events and news for which […]

Anger Issues Limited Print

April 22, 2014 by Tim

If you wanted to pick up a signed print of this artwork, sans dialogue, I’m going to be doing a very limited run. These will be the signed and numbered print (on an 8.5×11 sheet) only, no mat, no personalizations, for a lower price and it’s going to be a very small batch (a hundred […]

The votes are in!

April 21, 2014 by Tim

Our first vote is concluded, and the story moves forward along the chosen path. Not the path I expected, to be honest. You can look at the results here. I haven’t yet figured out how to publish them without also re-opening the poll.

Voting Window

April 18, 2014 by Tim

I forgot to mention, but each vote will only remain open for 24 hours. This is because obviously I need to then start drawing the next page based on the winning choice. So make sure you get your vote in on the day the comic updates.

Yeah, the poll allows multiple votes. There is no option within the software to prevent it. Obviously I’d like to assume that most people will just vote once, and that even someone votes a dozen times, it’s not going to sway things in any major way. And I’d like to think that it’s just not […]

Choose what happens next: Try and steal a ship Try and get their ship back from Chaug Our first vote for this story is live. As promised, we’re going to try using an embedded poll system… no more fiddling with emails and key phrases. Also, according to some requests, the results will remain hidden until […]
