re: DailyComix

March 14, 2012 by Tim

Thank you all for the many, many emails alerting me to the phone app redistributing my comic (via this link). I have already contacted the app’s creator and asked him to remove Ctrl+Alt+Del, and he has complied. It’s all taken care of. I appreciate you all taking a moment to email/tweet me about this, and […]

Settled

March 11, 2012 by Tim

I settled on using the Shepard imposted, and actually, it looks much more like my character in-game. It’s still a little off, but it’s close enough. As it turns out, there is quite a large disparity between the way characters look on the character creation screen, and the way they look in-game. It’s unfortunate, especially […]

Finding Shepard

March 10, 2012 by Tim

A method just popped up online a day or two ago for supposedly working around Bioware’s face import issues. It’s a little complex, with a bunch of file swapping and registering for/downloading a bunch of stuff. I decided to give it a shot though, to see if there was a shot of getting my Shepard […]

That’s not my Shepard

March 9, 2012 by Tim

Well, I am still very much looking forward to playing Mass Effect 3. It’s sitting in my living room, but I’ve decided not to get into it until Bioware releases a fix for the character import issue. If you haven’t heard about this, essentially anyone who made their Commander Shepard in the original game, and […]

Kony 2012: And in response

March 8, 2012 by Tim

And the folks over at Invisible Children have posted a response to some of the concerns that have been raised over their charity. A very good read that addresses a lot of the issues. As I said, before you donate (to any charity), make sure you always collect as much data as possible so that […]

Kony 2012: An alternative view

March 7, 2012 by Tim

While I think that the Kony 2012 initiative has its heart in the right place, it’s always a good idea to get as complete a view of things when possible, especially when dealing with charities. Not all charities are created equal, after all. In the interest of posting as much information on the subject as […]

Kony 2012

by Tim

This video is a little long, but the message is worth it. When I tweeted it last night, I think it had a few hundred-thousand views. This evening it has seven million. That’s crazy, but it means it’s working. Take a look if you haven’t watched it yet.

These machines of war

March 2, 2012 by Tim

When I do a comic or a story arc on Warmachine, I tend to get a handful of emails from people curious about trying it out/switching over, but not sure where to start or what faction they should play. I’m certainly not an expert, but I have been playing WM for about five years, and […]

Star Wars Kinect

February 27, 2012 by Tim

I’ve got to say, the Rancor frenzy bit actually looks sort of fun (skip to 2:45). The rest of it though…

Overgrowth

February 21, 2012 by Tim

Over a year ago I posted about a little indie game in development called Overgrowth. It’s the sequel to a little game called Lugaru. Anyway, it’s not done yet, but it’s looking more amazing than ever, and I just want to remind you about it. There’s still no actual “game” per se, in that there […]

Whack-a-mole

February 15, 2012 by Tim

Playing League of Legends on the release day of a new champion is an interesting affair. If you’ve bought said new champion, obviously you’re looking to play it, and queuing up becomes a crazy luck-intensive game of whack-a-mole as you race to load in and pick the champion before anyone else. If you didn’t buy […]

KoA Quick Review

February 8, 2012 by Tim

Kingdoms of Amalur is fun. It’s not perfect, but it’s fun. Here’s the highlight reel. I love the visual style. Some of the environments are downright stunning. A lot of the armor is really cool, and they have some awesome monsters. The visual style is a little inconsistent though. Some creatures and people just don’t […]

Lengthy

February 6, 2012 by Tim

The developers recently announced that a “speed run” of KoA’s main quest and every side quest took roughly 200 hours to complete. And that’s with already knowing exactly where to go, and what to do for every quest. And then they questioned if perhaps they might have gone a little overboard. The main quest alone […]

That Reckoning

February 3, 2012 by Tim

It’s been over a year since I let him loose, so it was about time I think. I’m gearing up for Kingdoms of Amalur next week, my first hugely anticipated game of 2012. I know a lot of people may be playing the demo just to get their Mass Effect 3 items, but I really […]

Neat end-of-Winter-een-mas gift

January 31, 2012 by Tim

The 1000 referral reward for League of Legends is an in-game content element named after you. I hit 1000 referrals early last year, but they warned me that it could take a while. They don’t introduce items into the game too often, and they have to do what they can to keep items within the […]

Winter-een-mas and Thanks

January 30, 2012 by Tim

I hope you’ve all had a great Winter-een-mas so far! This year has been one for the books for me. I had a bunch of friends come stay with me for the weekend. We’re all really spread out around the US and Canada and generally play games together online, so it was really special to […]
