I saw more various spellings of the word “octopus” this weekend than I might have otherwise thought possible. The votes were neck and neck for a while in the beginning, but then ‘octopus’ started to pull into the lead. Final count:24,342 Octopus votes21,027 Magnet votes Overall it was really fun and I think it went […]

Voting for this choice is now closed. All further vote emails on this choice from here on out are set to be automatically deleted. Results will be posted along with Monday’s comic. But wow.

So the first “choice” comic is up. Voting will last for the next 24 hours, ending tonight at 11:59pm EST. Tomorrow I’ll draw Monday’s comic based on the path chosen. As I mentioned earlier in the week, I’ve loosely scripted each possible path, and some of the paths lead to the main character’s death. We’ll […]

So the books go on sale shortly. 11am PST exactly (2pm EST for the time-zone challenged). Hardcover, Paperback, Issue 2, and comic bundle. They say out of stock because they haven’t actually gone on sale yet. I’ve had some people freaking out thinking the books were gone already. Additionally, any order that includes a collection […]

Cartoons, Books, and Space Archaeology. Let’s do the real things first. Season 2 of the Ctrl+Alt+Del Animated Series launches today with the first of twelve episodes. After this we’ll be aiming to release them on the first of each month. We’ve been working on Season 2 since last September, so we’ve got a bit of […]

Earth Hour was pretty easy. I just went out to see a movie. Everything in my house was off for two hours. On another note… 21 was pretty good. Saw the ending coming a mile away, but a fun movie anyway. Weird, because I heard from some people (Steph) that the book was boring.

Season 2 of the Ctrl+Alt+Del Animated Series begins on Monday March 31st. The first episode is weighing in at about 8 minutes, which is nearly twice the length of an average Season 1 episode. Normally if you purchase episodes individually, they’ll be $2.99, but we’ll be offering the first episode of the season for $0.99. […]

Plan to take a week off for this game.

So I’ve been playing some of the Battlefield: Bad Company beta test this morning. I wanted to get a few rounds in as attacker and defender to get a good feel for the game before I talked about it. It’s a beta, and while the game seemed pretty polished, I imagine a lot of balance […]

Okay, like twenty minutes go by and I’ve already gotten half a dozen emails from people who use those mechanical babies in their classes. What the hell man. I’m over here reminiscing about grocery products, and these people are getting their own robots. I wish I had been living in the future back when I […]

Am I correct that bags of flour are used for this parenting exercise in some schools, or is that just something I saw on television? It would make sense, they’re about the appropriate size and weight. In my school we used eggs. The teacher would initial the bottom, and then you had to carry it […]

Ideally today’s comic would have come before (or even after) Monday’s strip. I feel like I’m jumping around a bit this week, but until it was out I couldn’t be sure Rainbow Six Vegas 2 would do these tie-hooks the same way as RSV1. They do. It’s probably a bit of an inside joke, I’ve […]

This is where a newspost would be, if RSV2 had not happened today. So far, I will say, that if there wasn’t a big “2” on the box, I might have thought I was just playing RSV1. But the run button is almost worth the price tag alone.

I’ve been absolutely hooked on Condemned 2 Crime Scene multiplayer this past weekend. I sign on for a quick couple of matches, and then it’s “well, just one more” for the next couple of hours. It’s really fun, and it’s also a shame because I know a lot of people are going to pass right […]

Here are some videos from Digital Overload. Day One and Two again, and also Day Three. Day Three may be NSFW. Day One Day Two Day Three Toss Your Keyboard for a Zboard!

I picked up Condemned 2, and it looks very promising. I’ll be saving the single player portion for when I get together with Toby, as is tradition. Fortunately Condemned 2 comes with a multiplayer mode which, while not perfect, is quite a bit of fun. I’ve only really played the ‘Crime Scene’ mode, but honestly […]

For the second year in a row we ran a little event called “Toss Your Keyboard For A Zboard”, sponsored by Zboard. The goal of the game is to chuck your keyboard across the room and knock down a pin. If you do, you win a brand new Zboard. Lots of destruction ensues. At the […]

Well, Digital Overload 2008 has now come and gone. I’ve spent the last couple of days recuperating, and I’m finally starting to feel like myself again. There isn’t much to say that I haven’t said in a past post-DO daze, but the event this year was even bigger and smoother than ever, and I had […]

I’m heading over to the convention center for Digital Overload set up. If you’re joining us this weekend, have a safe trip and double check your packing list. If not, hopefully you can make it to the event next year. I also want to remind people that you cannot pay for a Gamer badge at […]

As you may imagine, things are pretty hectic over here right now as we get ready for Digital Overload this weekend, so I’ll make this fairly brief. Maybe. I haven’t mentioned this yet because I was wanted to make sure they were almost here when I did, but we finally got around to reprinting Ctrl+Alt+Del […]

So registration for Digital Overload 2008 is closed. We’ve posted a list of things to read to help people prepare for the event this weekend. Definitely read it if this will be your first Digital Overload. If you’ve been to Digital Overload before, you probably have a good idea of what to expect, but read […]

Alright, today is it. The very last day to register for Digital Overload 2008. After midnight tonight we’re closing registration. This also means today is the last day to log in to your Digital Overload account and update the information/descriptions of the equipment you’re bringing. Trust me, do it now or it’s going to take […]

Words cannot even describe the relief I feel that they appear to be doing one of my favorite super heroes such a great justice.Iron Man Exclusive TrailerAdd to My Profile | More Videos May can not come soon enough.

Interesting little tidbit of information for you… one of the main characters in Condemned 2, Agent Dorland, is voiced by Dave Mitchell… who also happens to be the voice of Lucas (and starting with Season 2, Zeke as well) in our very own Ctrl+Alt+Del Animated Series. MTV Music Videos MTV Shows Entertainment News Dave also […]
