First “The server guy” and now “Server Monkeys”… I used to have a name! I see how it is.

Regarding the issues with the advertisements and our forums, there is a small technical issue with the server on which those two systems reside. The server monkeys are aware of it, and working to fix whatever has been exploding. And how about Heroes, huh?! I’m most confused about what’s up with Nathan. It would make […]

So Halo 3 is finally out, and thank the almighty Robot Jesus. Hopefully now we can all shut up about it, and focus on a game that really deserves some anticipation. Like Mass Effect. Now there’s a game I could almost get excited enough over to go to some ridiculous midnight opening for… but still […]

Mission accomplished. We have beaten the game, and it can now go on the shelf, a conquered trophy. Sometime late last night we started experiencing some really obnoxious framerate issues, about halfway through the game. A bit of research revealed the culprit to be the patch for the game. We removed the patch, chose not […]

It would seem my threat of violence has worked, and Toby will be coming up from New York tonight. This weekend I shall finally partake of Bioshock. To say I’m looking forward to it would be an understatement. It has been a magnificent trial of willpower to refrain from opening and playing it during the […]

Yes, yes, a wallpaper from today’s comic is at the bottom of this newspost. I finally started playing some skate. last night, and I popped it in this afternoon to play for a minute and suddenly three hours had gone by. Whoops. The demo was fun, and the full game is even better. It’s my […]

I gave the Spider-Man: Friend or Foe demo on XBL a whirl the other day. As it’s clearly aimed at a younger audience, I can’t knock it for being too simple, but I guess I was just hoping for a little more than there was. Like maybe two buttons to mash, for some more varied […]

So I’m in the new place since Saturday. The move went pretty smoothly, thank you to all who asked. I got the video games set up Saturday night, pretty much everything else is still in boxes. I imagine I’ll be unpacking for the next week or two. I think the website had some downtime over […]

Internet up and running in the new place. Post to follow shortly.

He does something I can get behind.

Do you think World of Warcraft characters ever sit around thinking “Holy fuck, my hands are HUGE. I could pop my own head like a grape with these mits…” But it’s not funny, because they all have hand cancer. Tumors are no laughing matter. And how the hell does Samus roll up into that little […]

Cable companies are genius. Moving would actually be a pain in the ass if not for the glorious and divine light of the cable companies to grease the gears of transition and make everything all better. I don’t know where they come up with their policies, but they are clearly designed to make transferring your […]

As requested, here are some wallpapers of the last two panels of today’s comic in high res. No thumbnail because I guess people don’t like it when the comic is spoiled for them. 1024×7681280×10241600×12001920×1200 (widescreen) I’m finally moving later this week, so news posts may be sparse. You know how it goes with getting your […]

Bioshock still sits there on the shelf, unopened, taunting me. Next week is the big move, after which I will happily delve into the watery depths. In the meantime, I shall occupy my  free moments with other games. Two Worlds is not one of these titles. A few people asked me to elaborate on what […]

Heh, wow. This game sucks balls. Ahh well, “forsooth, STRAIGHT to the shelf with YE!”

Thanks for all the feedback concerning the Player One/Player Two shirts. We’re definitely going to go ahead and print them. Then sometime down the road I’ll see about maybe doing  Player Three/Player Four. When we put out new merchandise I like to put up a bunch of items at once, so in case somebody wants […]

*scratches Twilight Princess off his list* I beat it. Yay me.

The skate. demo came out earlier this week. I think I have another game to buy in September. I remember when Tony Hawk first came out on the Playstation years back and totally rocked our video game skating world. And for the past ten or so years that’s pretty much all we’ve had. And some […]

Mmmmm.

I’m getting a lot of requests for a wallpaper from today’s comic, so… here you go. (moved it to a separate newspost further down the page so it wouldn’t spoil the comic for people) 1920×12001600×12001280×10241024×768

I’ve got a couple of other things to show you today as well. First of all, the magnets. These sold really well, and a lot of people liked them, so as promised, I’m making another couple of sets. They’re not on sale yet, but here’s a preview. Also some people have been asking me what’s […]

So Bioshock hits shelves tomorrow, and like 90% of other 360 owners, I’ll be receiving my copy. I’ve had the collector’s edition pre-ordered for months, since before they even knew what was going to be in the collector’s edition. Well, it turns out it’s a little Big Daddy figurine, and it occurs to me that […]

Bleh, this whole moving thing is really throwing me for a loop. It’s shocking how much junk you accumulate over time, and how it finds its way into Tetris-like arrangements in closets and corners that betray the true sheer volume of stuff that exists there. My place is slowly turning into a maze of boxes, […]

After watching the Mass Effect video last week, I found myself itching for a rich, involved single-player adventure. So I went rummaging through my games to find any that had been neglected (and unfortunately there are many), and came up with Twilight Princess. Though originally I had been turned off by the really pixelated graphics, […]
