Zap!

May 22, 2009 by Tim

inFamous has been getting a lot of pre-release hype in the form of some pretty solid reviews. I spent some time with the demo yesterday, and I think most of it may well be justified. It’s rough that inFamous and Prototype are coming out so close to eachother, what with them being largely similar in […]

Drawing up stream

May 20, 2009 by Tim

Looks like some more Fallout 3 DLC is in the pipeline, which I’m pretty happy about. I haven’t played Fallout 3 since last fall, but at this point I’ve decided to let a bunch of DLC and community mods build up, and then get back into the game later this year with a whole ton […]

Oh the positions

May 18, 2009 by Tim

Okay, I lied. This is not actually how the UFC started. You know, just in case anyone writes a book report on the subject. I jest knowing full well that any UFC fighter is about four-hundred times tougher than I am, and could tear my face off with one finger for even suggesting there is […]

More west

May 15, 2009 by Tim

I really enjoyed Call of Juarez. It wasn’t a perfect game, but it’s immersive first-person perspective and wild-west setting really grabbed my attention. It was a fun little game. The new Call of Juarez is coming out soon, and if it delivers more of the same, I’ll be a happy cowboy.   

Hoo boy, have I got some new shirts for you. Eight of them, to be exact. It’s like shirts are raining from the sky or something. We’ve finally got the new character tees in stock, along with a new set of Players shirts. I want to send a big thank you shout-out to all my […]

Wrap your lips around a jug!

May 13, 2009 by Tim

I’ve been carrying this one around in my head for a couple of months. At a staff party celebrating the close of another successful Digital Overload, the topic of Bawls came up. Britanny said “Someone should make a drink called ‘boobs’.” I started tossing out packaging concepts and pitch slogans, and Bewbsâ„¢ was born. If […]

One of those thingies

May 11, 2009 by Tim

So I finally figured out how to stream my desktop. Durr. Ok, that’s enough for now. Thanks for tuning in everyone! Now that I know how to stream the desktop as I draw, I’ll try and do it every once in a while. For those that missed it, I was working on the cover for […]

     One of these days Transformers deserves to get a good video game. Is this it? I don’t know. It doesn’t look terrible, but it is a movie tie-in. And it’s a tie-in to a Michael Bay movie. I enjoyed the first Transformers film, way more than I thought I would. It might have […]

So after working over at the house this morning, I came home and diligently played a couple stages of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, so that I could tell you guys what I thought of it. Of course, you can form your own opinion, there’s a demo up on XBL. You’ll likely come to the same conclusion […]

Bionic Commando

April 29, 2009 by Tim

Tried out the multiplayer demo on XBL. Can’t say I was too impressed. Grappling/swinging, which is an integral part of the experience, seemed too clunky in a versus setting. Maybe it’s better suited to the single player portion of the game.

    So I believe that today is the official release date for ‘This Is A Great Idea: Ctrl+Alt+Del Volume One’ in book stores. Some places did release it early, I’ve been getting emails for the last week or so that people have seen it on shelves in their local bookstores/comic book shops. But as of […]

UFC

April 27, 2009 by Tim

Looks like I’ll have to add UFC: Undisputed to my list of must-have titles coming up. I played the demo this evening and I thought it was pretty fantastic. Really reminded me of the fun we had with UFC on the Dreamcast. Good show, THQ. Good show.

I will admit, I am thankful that there is not a barrage of great new releases hitting the market while I’m stuck in my fantasy world playing construction worker. There’s only so much “Let’s see how quickly I can tear up the floor in this room, and then try to beat that record” that you […]

Observation

April 22, 2009 by Tim

When you play a video game, most of the enjoyment comes from the experience, the play-through. You have fun working your way to the end, and then when you get there (for most games) the ending is a let-down. The process of renovating, everything leading up to the ending, sucks. But when you finally get […]

Don’t worry!

April 17, 2009 by Tim

Apparently quite a few electricians reading! The two marretted cables in the picture are from an electrical outlet that was in a half-wall I removed. They will be relocated to a new box once I decide on another location for the outlet. No need to worry, there will be no floating wires when I put […]
