I’ve done gone and got myself hooked on The Shield. I picked up the first two seasons because I’ve been hearing good things about the show for years. Ended up tearing through both seasons in a week. Then had to wait a whole weekend for the next three seasons to show up. That was torture. […]

Okay, five hours in and it’s finally starting to get its hooks in me. But good gods the beginning of the game is boring. I think it has to do with all the drawn out cutscenes you have to endure with such little actual gameplay.

I’m not very far into Metal Gear Solid 4 at all, so this is just a first impression kind of thing… but so far… it’s not really doing it for me. It’s definitely a good game, it’s got gorgeous graphics, it just hasn’t grabbed me yet. It hasn’t caused that feeling like “Oh man, I […]

I’ve received numerous requests for the Players pinup artwork as a poster, and it’s something we’re looking into (along with some other designs). There were also some requests for shirts. Normally this design would contain too many colors for the standard screen-printing process we regularly use. I don’t know how much most of you know […]

Sheesh, no wonder he looks so old. Dude smoked like five cigarettes in the eight minutes it took to install the game.

I have a new favorite chair. A lot of you are probably familiar with Sumo. They make a great beanbag chair, and they’ve sponsored Digital Overload two years running now, and the chairs are always a huge hit with attendees. Well, they recently came out with a new product, the Sumo Sac. Aside from sounding […]

So the comic (so to speak) is up. Been wanting to do this for a while. We’re getting back to Ethan and Lilah on Friday, so I figured today was as good a time as any. Will turn it into desktop wallpapers later on today.

Update is still a few hours away. Don’t wait up.

Don’t worry, we’ll get back to the story soon. Think of it as ‘cutting to a commercial’. Last week was pretty heavy, and I think we could all use a little break with some lighthearted, unrelated humor. My opinion here is one as a complete outsider, never having played a game of D&D in my […]

Alrighty, time to change the newspost. I’ve had my say and you’ve had a chance to read it. I got play a bit of the Bourne Conspiracy game today, and it was pretty enjoyable. It’s not a perfect game, there are a number of minor but frustrating technical and camera-related flaws. Hand-to-hand combat is definitely […]

I’ll update the front page a bit later. For now, have this.

In the six years I’ve been doing this comic strip, never before have I gotten so many emails on a single subject in such a short amount of time. I’ve spent the last couple of hours reading emails, and I still have about 800 left to go. There are just too many for me to […]

Some people have been telling me they’ve been having trouble getting email through to me. We (and by we, I mean Pierre) did some work on the email servers last night, and for a while email was turned off. I’m sure he’ll get whatever the problem is worked out today, but in the meantime, if […]

This game is also looking better and better each time I see it.

June is shaped up with some pretty decent releases. Metal Gear Solid 4 comes out soon, which I’ve been hearing really good things about. I’m definitely looking forward to the title for multiple reasons. First, I haven’t played a Metal Gear Solid game since… well, Metal Gear Solid. After playing Metal Gear Online for a […]

I wasn’t exactly talking about Dungeons and Dragons Online, which I have played and is just an MMO set in the DnD universe rather than an actual DnD game run by a GM and tailored to the players involved. Still, people have been telling me that DnD 4th edition will feature some sort of online […]

This is a pretty cool tattoo, if I do say so myself. But I may be biased. So I hear the Dungeon and Dragons 4th Edition is releasing next week. I’ve never played a single dice roll’s worth of DnD, but it’s always intrigued me. Growing up I guess I was just never hanging around […]

Sunburns are clearly our body’s way of telling us we need to hurry up and evolve some fucking armor plating or something.

These guys are like right around the corner from eachother.

Just a couple things today. To hopefully avoid the influx of emails I know will be coming on the subject, I’ve already seen this. Yes, I laughed and did a little dance. Also, because people were asking, we’ve started up a little CAD Age of Conan guild on the Omm server. Just a casual, social […]

I’m always amused, on MMO forums in particular, when upset players start tossing around threats of petitions and lawsuits, as if they haven’t thought at all about how ridiculous they would sound if they ever had to actually present their cases in court. “I’m mad Blizzard because my WoW server was down today, and I […]

Wow. I am genuinely and pleasantly surprised at how good this game is. It’s almost like I’m not even playing the same game that I was during the stress test. I know there have been some minor issues with the early access start this afternoon, I myself am one of those who are currently unable […]

Every year we try to run a little survey so that we can get a better idea of the reader demographic. It helps us with advertising, among other things, which helps run the website. So if you wouldn’t mind taking five minutes and answering some questions for us, it would be greatly appreciated!

Well, I have my Age of Conan early access client all downloaded and patched, and my hard drive defragged after that massive install. I’m all good to go for the early launch tomorrow. My experience with the stress test was less than perfect, but in the end I think I feel the good outweighed the […]
