A while back I got an email from Mike, the father of a little girl named Marissa who suffers from Infantile Spasms. Mike asked me if I would be interested in hosting a bunny to help raise awareness for this serious epileptic condition. Helping out a great cause and a plush bunny? Absolutely. I’d never […]

Hey, does anyone here play Infinity? I absolutely love the miniatures, and I’ve skimmed the rules, but I’m interested is getting some opinions from players on gameplay/fun factor. Shoot me an email.

So I’ve been a homeowner for two weeks now, and the renovations are well underway. I feel like, in the nearly seven years I’ve been drawing this comic strip, I’ve managed to retain a healthy level of appreciation for what I get to do for a living. I still wake up every day thankful that […]

Big congrats to Pierre, who welcomed his new daughter Anais into the world yesterday morning. After a bit of a rough delivery, both mother and daughter are doing well and recovering at the hospital. Congratulations, Pierre, and good luck!

I’m back in the office today after spending all day for the last five days working on the new house. I’m going to ask you guys now to be patient with me for the next few weeks. My two top priorities at the moment are the main comic strip and the new house, and I’m […]

It’s remarkable how fast buying a house goes from “Fuck yeah! I just bought a huge fort to play in! Awesome!” to “Holy shit, I just bought a huge pile of work to do.”

Ahh, first day of the renovation project. Let’s see, I’ve got a case of Killians and a reciprocating saw. Looks like I’m all set. Off to the new house!

The last three months or so have been pretty… interesting. Around late January is when the insane Digital Overload planning crunch starts to take hold. Suddenly you realize that you’ve only got four weeks left until your event, and there’s a ton of stuff that needs to come together so that it isn’t an awful […]

I wanted to post a reminder that my sister is running a half marathon to benefit the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America. She is accepting donations through Team Challenge for the foundation, if you have a couple of bucks to spare.

So obviously OnLive is causing a pretty big stir in the video games community, and with good reason. It’s a fascinating concept that could revolutionize gaming. However it also stirs up a lot of fears and concerns and doubts that are all perfectly legitimate. The implications and possibilities (and possible failures) of a system like […]

I downloaded a couple of XBL demos over the weekend. First was Vin Diesel’s Wheelman, because I’d been hearing (surprisingly) positive impressions of it. It wasn’t too bad. It is sort of like a rough mix between GTA and Burnout I suppose. There was some enjoyment there though, there were some neat ideas (the car […]

A few months ago I told SplitReason “Go ahead and discontinue the CAD Character t-shirts, it’s about time I updated them with some new designs.” So they did, and I didn’t (as many of you have noticed). Now it’s long past time for me to sit down and design some nice new character shirts, and […]

Just a final reminder that early registration for Digital Overload 2010 (our fifth year!) closes on March 22nd. If you purchase your badge by March 22nd, you get a load of early registration benefits, including: Priority Check-in at the event Lower badge price – $45 for a Gamer Badge, $25 for a Tabletop badge Free […]

On August 6th 2008, Tim forwarded me an email regarding a RSS issue with the CAD feed. Funny story, I found that email lying around today while cleaning my inbox. The email came from a gentleman named Ryan W. The issue was that the <lastBuildDate> tag was not formatted correctly. Anyway, Ryan, I tried to […]

Britanny and I have been playing through Resident Evil 5 the last few days, and so far it’s been a blast. I hear that the single-player partner AI leaves a little to be desired (spending ammo like it grows on trees), but frankly if a game tells me “Hey, we’re going to let you play […]
