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 […]

I can really only take credit for drawing today’s strip into comic format… the events told within are pretty much taken word for word from Dragon Age 2. Dragon Age 2 has these quests… I’ve started calling them “padding quests”… they aren’t story quests, and they aren’t even fetch quests. Basically, along your travels, you’ll […]

I made the decision to play through Dragon Age 2 as a good guy. I would be compassionate, helpful, I would be righteous and just, and I would be friends with everyone. It actually ended up working out alongside playing on Nightmare mode, because I really couldn’t afford to turn down any offer of XP. […]

In light of my adventure into Pokemon, I’ve been receiving some very helpful emails from readers (thanks everyone!) with a “noob’s guide” to some of the more basic gameplay elements I will (apparently) need to be aware of. I admit, I’m intrigued by the idea that there is a somewhat deep and complex strategy element […]

May is drawing ever closer, and with it, our sixth Digital Overload event! If you haven’t been following #DigitalOverload (you should be), there have been a lot of developments over the past few weeks. We’ve announced tournaments and opened up registration for them! If you’ve purchased your ticket, you can now log into the website […]
