The Rorschach thing

March 13, 2009 by Tim

Ok, so I’m being told that the scene was changed to avoid uneducated idiots screaming “Omgz, he ripped off Saw!” Hurm.

Don’t forget that early registration for Digital Overload 2010 is open until March 22nd 2009! If you purchase a badge before March 22nd, not only do you secure your spot for the east coast’s largest LAN, but you’ll be granted priority check-in at the door, and receive a free limited edition poster! Also, you’ll be […]

Watch

by Tim

I’m going to talk about Watchmen here. I am not going to be spoiler sensitive. If at this point you have not read the book, tough. So I did get to see Watchmen earlier this week. I had been anxious to see a midnight opening last Thursday, before Digital Overload, but I knew better. See, […]

Digital Overload… Twenty-Ten!

March 10, 2009 by Tim

Digital Overload, as I’ve come to expect, was an absolute blast. I want to thank all of the attendees, the staff, and our sponsors for making Digital Overload better than ever. I spend all year looking forward to running Digital Overload, and you guys are the reason for that. Which leads me to… That’s right, […]

Digital Overload 2009!

March 4, 2009 by Tim

Well, this is it. I’m off to Providence, Rhode Island for the fourth annual Digital Overload gaming event. For those of you not attending this year, the comics have been finished and uploaded (as always) so they will update in my absence. Remember to eat all your vegetables and don’t stay up past your bedtime. […]

Generosity Overload

March 2, 2009 by Tim

Just a friendly reminder, we’re starting a new charity initiative with Digital Overload this year, which we’re calling Generosity Overload. For 2009 we’ve chosen to support our troops still overseas, and will be collecting items that they need/want, and we’re excited to announce that ThinkGeek has signed on to participate. In particular we will be […]

On of my favorite parts about Digital Overload setup on Friday is when the SUMO beanbags arrive. A truckload full of beanbag chairs which we can then amass into a huge pile and fling ourselves at, like a Chuck-E-Cheese ball pit for grown-ups. But aside from that, I just love that we have these at […]

One week and counting

February 27, 2009 by Tim

One week from today everyone attending Digital Overload will be in Providence, Rhode Island for a weekend filled with gaming, tournaments and prizes. One week from today everyone not attending Digital Overload can stop listening to me talk about it in every newspost. At least until we start gearing up for Digital Overload 2010. If […]

Pay attention

February 23, 2009 by Tim

With less than two weeks to go until Digital Overload, it’s time to kick it into high gear. First of all, if you are registered and paid, you need to log into your account and make sure all of your information is up to date. Most importantly, if you are planning to bring a PC, […]

Generosity Overload, part 2

February 20, 2009 by Tim

I’ve been receiving a lot of interest from people unable to attend Digital Overload but still wanting to contribute to Generosity Overload, which is fantastic. We really appreciate the show of support for the project and for our troops overseas. If you can’t come to Digital Overload, but still wish to help out, the easiest […]

Okay, today is it. If by the end of the day you are not registered and paid for Digital Overload 2009, you’re out of luck. We don’t take payment for badges at the door (apart from Spectator badges, but you don’t get to game with those), so it’s now or never. Well, not never… you’ll […]

I hate her

by Tim

Street Fighter 4 is amazing.  It’s a perfect blend of 3D graphics and classic 2D fighting gameplay. It’s gorgeous in execution, and I feel it brings what was so great about Street Fighter 2 into a new generation with incredible amounts of polish. That said, I suck at it and I hate the digital shit […]

Maquette Day!

February 18, 2009 by Tim

The first Ctrl+Alt+Del Limited Edition Maquettes are finally here. These are Limited Edition, and only 500 of each figure were made. Once they’re sold out, they’re gone forever. The first batch of 250 (of each character) will be put on sale at 12pm PST and the second batch will be on sale at 6pm PST. […]

Maquettes!

February 16, 2009 by Tim

We’ve finally gotten the Ctrl+Alt+Del Limited Edition Maquettes in stock. It took us a little longer than expected to get them through customs, it might have something to do with them being made out of the skulls of little children, but they look fantastic! These are Limited Edition, and only 500 of each figure were […]

Four

by Tim

Hope you all had a nice Valentine’s day weekend. You’ve got three days (since today is almost over) now to register/pay for your Digital Overload 2009 badge. That’s all I’m going to say about that, you know what you need to do. I’ve got a lot of stuff to do, lots of prep work in […]

This is your one week warning

February 13, 2009 by Tim

It’s February 13th. You know what that means? No, not that the stupid Friday the 13th remake comes out today. It means that you now have exactly seven days to register and/or pay for your Digital Overload 2009 attendance badge. On February 20th we are shutting down registration for the event this year, and then […]
