On Friday I invited people to try out League of Legends, and shoot me a friend request in-game (I’m currently L10, so looking to play with people L15 and below). I’ve been having a lot of fun with it, and like I said, it’s free to play. However I didn’t realize that the friends list […]
So the PSN and other Sony online services are finally back up. I’d be lying if I said the outage affected me at all… in fact if not for all of the constant news coverage on the subject, I might not have even noticed. Admittedly, my PS3 is a fancy looking Blu-Ray player, that maybe […]
With what little free time I have with Digital Overload looming huge on the horizon, I’ve gotten into playing League of Legends, and am having a lot of fun with it! My Summoner name is TimCAD, so if you play, feel free to toss me an invite. If you don’t play, hey, it’s free (and […]
Today’s artwork was drawn for the CAD board game that I’ve been working on (and will be testing in a couple of weeks at Digital Overload). For the most part, the prototypes will be a spartan affair… the barebones necessary to play the game and test the system. The hundreds of cards involved will not […]
I’ve been excited for Brink for nearly a year now. Since back when we thought the game would come out last fall, through the delays into spring of this year, I’ve been looking forward to it, expecting a dynamic class-based shooter with a lot of style and character customization. Everything I read and saw about […]
If you’ve registered and paid for your Digital Overload badge already, you should now be able to log in and sign up for a spot for testing the CAD board game I’ll be running on Saturday. My current plan is to have 2 prototypes on hand for testing, and it’s a 4 player game. There […]
One of the other things I’m psyched about for Digital Overload 2011 is our Warmachine/Hordes events. Once again we have Press Gangers coming to the event to run a weekend of WM/H tourneys and demos. This year I’d really like to try and bring some of my stuff and actually get a game or two […]
Don’t forget to swing by the Digital Overload forums where you can find people looking for/offering room and ride shares as well as looking for teammates for tournaments, etc! Only a few weeks left until the event! Don’t forget to book your ticket!
We’ve come up with a few new shirts to start your summer off right! And by “right”, we mean “not topless”. Check them out at the Ctrl+Alt+Del store!
Holy mackeral, Digital Overload 2011 is at the end of this month! I’m really excited to get down to Baltimore for this year’s event. We have a lot of really cool stuff planned, and a ton of incredible sponsors for our 6th annual event! Microsoft, ThinkGeek, SUMO, League of Legends, Funcom and more have all […]

So I picked up Outland on XBLA this week, and I can tell you it was a well-spent $10. If you haven’t heard of it, Outland is a 2D platformer with a great color polarity system akin to Ikaruga or Schizoid. There are light and dark forces in the world (blue and red), and you […]
You know, after watching the second episode of Game of Thrones last night (and loving every minute of it), it really sunk in that there is no way for me to watch the series obectively. To separate it and judge it on its own merits, apart from the book. The series looks to be moving […]
So last night was a pretty big deal. The Game of Thrones pilot finally premiered on HBO. Over ten years after randomly picking up the first Song of Ice and Fire book at a bookstore, and subsequently falling in love with the series, I was able to watch these characters come to life on screen. […]
I know if you came in after the comic was changed, you’re probably going nuts with curiosity about the original script. I wrote it, and though it wasn’t intended to harm or offend, I accept responsibility for writing it. In the interest of full disclosure, and so that you can decide for yourself whether the […]
So some of you will have seen the original script for today’s comic, and notice that it has now been changed. I agonized the entire day about what to do with the script for today’s comic. On the one hand, I felt the joke was funny, and ultimately harmless. But on the other hand, clearly […]
Much to the dismay of my fiancée, my SUMO empire continues to multiply. A couple of weeks ago the nice guys over at SUMO sent me a couple of samples of their newest products, the Sway 2.0 and the Titan. They came in pretty large boxes, but nothing I didn’t expect from previous SUMOs. However […]
When the new Twisted Metal was announced, I have to admit, I did not feel the wave of nostalgia and excitement I had expected. I don’t know why, but the footage and details that were released did not instill me with a whole lot of confidence or optimism about the game. I thought something was […]
I finally finished Dragon Age 2 on Nightmare after over sixty hours logged in the game. Recorded, anyway… not sure if it counts time played if you reload. Either way, it was a long fucking game. I did every side quest that came my way (except Gamlin’s thing in the third act, I think it […]
A little while ago I said that I had a fun surprise for people attending Digital Overload 2011. I had to make sure that everything was on track before revealing it, but at this point I’m pretty confident that come May 27th, this project will be where it needs to be. Digital Overload 2011 attendees […]
Christian DeReimer is a buddy of mine. I’m sure you’ve heard me talk about him in the past. I met him at the very first Digital Overload back in 2006, and we’ve stayed in touch ever since. A couple of years ago you guys helped Christian and his family win a great vacation that they […]
Well, I played Pokemon Black until my DS died, and I can’t find the charger so I figure this is as good a place as any to stop talk about what I thought. It was… alright. I can certainly see where all the addiction comes from. It definitely has that element that appeals to collectors […]
I dunno if you’ll read this, but I really just wanted to say thanks again. That was really cool of you to help us out like that. Definitely caught me by surprise! Thanks man!
Nintendo 3DS demo units should start hitting stores this week, so everyone will finally be able to check out the 3D tech which is supposed to be the big selling point of the new handheld. Right now I feel pretty set in my decision not to purchase one, for a variety of reasons, but I […]
