Over the next couple of weeks we’ll be announcing our tournament lineup for Digital Overload 2009, leading up to the opening of online tournament registration after the new year. Remember: You can not sign up for tournaments unless you’ve purchased your badge, and there aren’t many left. Additionally, the price of badges will be going […]

And in other news… I appreciate everyone voting and participating in the Choose Our Adventure storyline, but a friendly reminder: If you aren’t sending your vote to CAD.VOTE @ GMAIL.COM your vote isn’t being counted.

For those of you in those sad, sad places in the world devoid of Fluff, this is the stuff.

I know this is going to seem perfectly ordinary to some of you out there. Some of you live this every day, and it’s no big deal. But to me, this is a revelation. It’s like the clouds have parted and gifted this to me. Like I’ve been sleeping all these years, and now I’m […]

Yes, I am aware that EVE Online continues to thrive (and I am constantly impressed by the updates I read about… perhaps when Walking in Stations arrives, I will be tempted back for another go), however EVE launched before World of Warcraft, so for the purposes of my little rant, it doesn’t apply. Even Everquest […]

If we could get a truly great Batman game, a game that finally does the World’s Greatest Detective some justice, I will be a happy camper. In other news… I’ve fallen back into league with that unsympathetic digital juggernaut, the devourer of time and self-respect. It’s not that I consider it the best use of […]

Votes sent to my personal email address don’t get counted either. There is a specific email address for votes, bolded in the newspost above.

For those of you unfamiliar with the Choose Our Adventure stories and the voting process, periodically you will be able to choose the direction the story takes. When you see choices at the end of a comic, simply send an email to CAD.VOTE (AT) GMAIL.COM with the word corresponding to your choice in the subject […]

I wish I could choose a definitive Sumo chair to recommend as the gaming chair to purchase, but every time I review one, they come out with a new variation that fills some new niche, be it size, function, cost or material. Their newest addition to the lineup is the Sumo Chief Rocker. Whereas the […]

Argh, sorry. I’ve been keeping a really backwards sleep schedule lately, and it plays havoc with routines. I was in New York this past weekend, where Toby and I polished off the last bits of Saint’s Row 2 in co-op. That game provided over 50 hours of great laughs and entertainment in co-op, well worth […]

Some people are reporting having trouble adding my Steam name as a friend. I’m not sure why… does Steam have a cap on their friends list that I may have hit (it seems to have stopped at an even 250 so… I guess so)? Either way, you can join the Ctrl+Alt+Del (CAD) user group on […]

I have it on Steam. Name is AbsathCAD. Shoot me a friend request if you want. Tomorrow afternoon and evening, I’m going to be on playing some versus. I’ll invite people from my friends list.

I’ve been playing a lot of Saint’s Row 2 this week. I really enjoyed the first one, and I’m happy to see that the second delivers as well. It would be easy to write off Saint’s Row as just a GTA clone, but if you take a moment to look at all of the things […]

My friends list filled back up again kind of quick, I’m sorry about that. The biggest frustrations about running these events on XBL are that a) the cap on the friends list is so small and b) only a small number of people can participate at once. We had a good time though, we spent […]

I’ve cleared some space on my XBL friends list (Absath). Today at 4pm EST I’m going to jump on Gears of War 2 for a little while for some Horde mode and regular multiplayer. Shoot me a friend request if you want to play.

Happy 233rd Birthday to the United States Marine Corps! That is all. Dismissed!

I thought some of you might get a kick out of this. It’s no time-lapse video, but it gives you an idea what the artwork looks like in its various stages of completion.

I have to call this done for now. I may wake up and work on it more, but my brain is shutting down right now. I need sleep. 1920×1200 (wide)1600×12001280×10241024×768 Pardon the later-than-usual update. I really underestimated this project. I sat down thinking I could bang it out in twelve hours, and over twenty hours […]

Colors are starting to run around the screen.

Still pluggin’ away.

Friday’s update won’t be up until a little later in the day. Don’t have an ETA yet, but I suspect I’ll be working into the wee hours of the morning. I’ll keep you posted.
