The fundraiser for Natalie, Queen of Scots has resumed. They temporarily stopped after receiving over $18,000 in one day. They wanted to consult with a lawyer to confirm that this method of public fund-raising (since they aren’t straight donations) didn’t violate any SEC laws. Everything checks out and they are full steam ahead to try […]
We’ll return to our storyline-in-progress on Wednesday. In light of his unexpected passing at his Tampa, Florida home yesterday morning, I wanted to take a moment and pay tribute to legendary television pitchman Billy Mays. I’ve always found Billy Mays to be fantastically entertaining in his infomercials, but my enjoyment of his work increased ten […]
My old pal Brian Carroll is working on a feature film that needs investors. At the very least, it’s an incredibly enjoyable pitch. And hey, if it falls through, you get your money back.
A short while ago I hosted a bunny to support Marissa and raise awareness of infantile spasms. Unfortunately, her father just emailed me and told me that Marissa has taken a turn for the worse. A fundraiser has been set up to help the family with the mounting bills due to Marissa’s hospitalization. On top […]

Liam, the contest winner who wrote that cool song about his hero, has used his newly acquired beta access to create his song’s namesake. Pretty cool.
Well, it took me nearly all of last night, but I finished reading over all of the submissions for the Champions Beta contest. It wasn’t easy, but I’ve chosen five of my favorites. Let me start by saying that I wish I had a thousand beta keys to give away. It’s clear that a lot […]
My original plan was to choose the winners this evening and announce them on Friday… however I didn’t anticipate this many submissions. It’s taking me a little longer than initially expected to read through them, but I want to give everyone a fair shot, so I will be reading through them all. In the event […]
If you’re working on a Champion submission for the beta contest, get it in a.s.a.p. today. When I get home from working on the house this evening, I’m going to sit down and sift through the entries and choose some winners. The Cocktail Party t-shirt has been restocked in the store, and restocks for other […]
Two weeks left of renovating. Well, not really, because some of that time has to be spent packing and moving into the new house. So this week is absolutely crucial. For breakfast this morning I’m having Honey Nut Stress (the kind with little stress marshmallows) and a nice big glass of Stress Juice (with pulp, […]
To answer some frequently asked questions: Can I create a Super Villain? Sure, why not. You can’t play as a villain in Champions Online, but you can create your Hero’s own Super Villain Arch Nemesis, so it still falls within the spirit of the contest. What if it isn’t possible to create my hero in […]
Those of you that follow my Twitter may have deduced that I’ve been participating in the Champions Online closed beta for the last few months. While the NDA is still up and I can’t talk specifics, I think it’s alright to tell you that in that time I’ve seen the game make huge strides towards […]
Okay, apparently you can switch your active family under the options menu. That’s good news. Still kind of a douche move attempting to restrict custom content though…
I picked up The Sims 3 last week. To date I’ve gotten all of maybe ten minutes with it. I have had the opportunity to watch Britanny play it quite a bit though. My impressions of the game so far: It looks very similar to The Sims 2, with some changes here and there. I […]
Wow, you guys did some fun stuff today. I’m jealous, but I was there with you in spirit. Or something. Me? I spent the day laying hardwood flooring. And no, that is not nearly as much fun as “laying pipe”.
You know what I’m doing today? Nothing fun. So I hereby charge you with doing something fun, and thinking of me while doing it. I will have enjoyment vicariously through your collective adventures.

Well, it’s June 1st. That means one more month until we move into the new house. One more month to finish up as much of the renovations as possible. It’s going to be a busy few weeks. E3 is actually looking pretty interesting this year. There was a lot of talk about restoring E3 to […]
In addition to the smörgÃ¥sbord of new shirts we released last week, there’s now a new poster available in the store. Initially offered only at Digital Overload 2009, these remaining 18″x24″ Limited Edition Zeke posters are hand-signed and numbered by yours truly. These were only printed once, and will never be printed again. Once these […]
inFamous is a game that rewards commitment. Total commitment to your karmic path of choice is the only way to progress through the ranks and power up to either good or evil. And the choices you’re presented with are often very clearly one or the other. As you progress up the ranks of one path, […]
inFamous has been getting a lot of pre-release hype in the form of some pretty solid reviews. I spent some time with the demo yesterday, and I think most of it may well be justified. It’s rough that inFamous and Prototype are coming out so close to eachother, what with them being largely similar in […]
Looks like some more Fallout 3 DLC is in the pipeline, which I’m pretty happy about. I haven’t played Fallout 3 since last fall, but at this point I’ve decided to let a bunch of DLC and community mods build up, and then get back into the game later this year with a whole ton […]
Okay, I lied. This is not actually how the UFC started. You know, just in case anyone writes a book report on the subject. I jest knowing full well that any UFC fighter is about four-hundred times tougher than I am, and could tear my face off with one finger for even suggesting there is […]
I really enjoyed Call of Juarez. It wasn’t a perfect game, but it’s immersive first-person perspective and wild-west setting really grabbed my attention. It was a fun little game. The new Call of Juarez is coming out soon, and if it delivers more of the same, I’ll be a happy cowboy.
