HomeAway has announced the winner of the $10,000 vacation getaway… Christian and his family! I want to thank everyone for taking the time to read the entry and cast your vote. You all made this possible for them, and I know they are eternally grateful. Here’s wishing Christian and his family a nice, relaxing vacation […]
My buddy Dan will be at ConnectiCon and, as a newly appointed Privateer Press Ganger, will be running demonstrations for Warmachine. If you’ve been curious about Warmachine/Hordes, or miniatures games in general, he’ll walk you through the basics and teach you how to play. He’ll also be running tournaments, if you’re already a player. You […]
Yesterday we changed some information relating to our domain that may have left the website inaccessible to some of you for a short while. I apologize for the unannounced downtime, sometimes ISPs can take a while to refresh their DNS cache. This weekend I’ll be packing up and making the trek down to good ol’ […]
Occasionally in my travels on this particular planet, I come across things that I enjoy or find useful which I think others may enjoy or find useful. Most often here I’m recommending games, but sometimes it’s other things. I recommend SUMO chairs because I own a handful of them and I think they’re great chairs, […]
Some of you may remember a while back I was posting about my sister’s fundraising efforts for her participation in a marathon to support the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America. I’m proud to report that she finished the 13 mile race in two hours and sixteen minutes, coming in 1074th out of 3000 runners. […]
Heroes of Newerth is the next title from S2Games, makers of Savage and Savage 2, which I’ve talked about here before. The title is currently in closed beta under a media embargo, so there isn’t a lot I can tell you about the game. What I can tell you is that Heroes of Newerth is […]
Coloring that poster from earlier in the week.
Streamed some stuff last night. Some of it got recorded. I’ll be doing the colors for this poster later in the week. At some point I’ll download these and speed them up so they don’t take so long to watch.
…Of the emergency vanishing system. This was only a test, to see how long I could go without making a newspost. In the event of a real emergency, this hiatus would be followed by Snuffleupagus.
I saw this over the weekend, thought I’d share it for anyone who missed it. Sixteen minutes of Brutal Legend, with commentary by Tim Schafer. If you’re desperate to stay completely spoiler-free, then navigate away and continue your tortured existence until October. If you want a little light in your life, watch the video below. […]
You guys are fantastic. You never cease to amaze me with your capacity for generosity and willingness to help out complete strangers. As I understand it, votes are used to determine finalists, at which point judges review the entry and comments and award vacations to the top three. With over twenty-thousand votes in just a […]
No money involved, no long-term commitments, I just need one minute of your time. I’d like to ask you to visit this page, scroll down a bit, and click the red box to vote. I met Christian and his father at the first Digital Overload, and they’ve attended every year since. It has been an […]
The fundraiser for Natalie, Queen of Scots has resumed. They temporarily stopped after receiving over $18,000 in one day. They wanted to consult with a lawyer to confirm that this method of public fund-raising (since they aren’t straight donations) didn’t violate any SEC laws. Everything checks out and they are full steam ahead to try […]
We’ll return to our storyline-in-progress on Wednesday. In light of his unexpected passing at his Tampa, Florida home yesterday morning, I wanted to take a moment and pay tribute to legendary television pitchman Billy Mays. I’ve always found Billy Mays to be fantastically entertaining in his infomercials, but my enjoyment of his work increased ten […]
My old pal Brian Carroll is working on a feature film that needs investors. At the very least, it’s an incredibly enjoyable pitch. And hey, if it falls through, you get your money back.
A short while ago I hosted a bunny to support Marissa and raise awareness of infantile spasms. Unfortunately, her father just emailed me and told me that Marissa has taken a turn for the worse. A fundraiser has been set up to help the family with the mounting bills due to Marissa’s hospitalization. On top […]
