It is widely known that I am a lifelong Fallout fan. So, to attempt to stem the flow of emails regarding the recently announced MMO ambitions, allow me to publicly confirm that yes, I have heard about it. When Interplay sold the Fallout rights to Bethesda (who is working on the true Fallout sequel) they […]
Like many of you, I have one of those fancy, futuristic, new-wave televisionary receptor devices in my “home of tomorrow”. Mine is even in color. Also past frequenters of this news space may recall that my preferred method of watching these “broadcast moving picture shows” is via DVD releases. Because, admittedly, I am not a […]
I’ve updated the Digital Overload site with some new information on some tournaments we’ll be holding. Every tournament winner at Digital Overload this year will have their name permanantly entered on a “Hall of Fame”, which will be posted on the Digital Overload website after the event, and remain for all to see from year […]
It’s twenty minutes of some of the most painful customer service I’ve ever heard.
The Zeke plushies we have coming didn’t get on the container ship when we thought they did. They’re only just leaving Asia now, so we won’t have them until mid-January. Not a huge deal, because I don’t think they would have shipped in time for Christmas anyway, but just wanted to let you know
I forgot to mention earlier in the week, but I’ll be down in Orlando, Florida in February to attend Megacon. I went a couple of years ago, and despite catching a nasty flu on the way down there, and being sick the entire weekend, it was a really fun convention. Zack Finfrock will be with […]
I’m not holding my breath, because this isn’t a big-name game developer, but they’re making a Firefly MMO. I don’t know. I love Firefly, and it will always hold a very special place in my futuristic, science-fictiony heart, but this is the sort of thing that could really ruin things if done half-assed. Man I […]
If you haven’t been watching Heroes on NBC, you are seriously missing out. Well, you’re in luck. NBC has put all 11 episodes so far up on their website. And the series is on break until after the new year. Get busy watchin’, or get busy dyin’.
A group of Canadians attending Digital Overload 2007 are exploring the idea of renting a bus to travel round trip to and from the event. They’ve started to get quotes, and if they can fill the bus, it ends up being about $100 per person, round trip. If you’re in Canada, and looking for ride […]
No, no, I’m not dead. I know I didn’t make a Monday newspost. I got bogged down with some work, and I figured the Digital Overload announcement could be left up for another couple of days. Speaking of, I’ve updated the Digital Overload site with some official hotel information, and the beginnings of the FAQ […]
Little Gamers has just started pre-orders on their third collection book. And it’s in full-color to boot. I’ve been friends with those crazy swedes since way back when I first started, and they’re really great guys. Go check out Little Gamers! As far as my books, I have an update for you. Analog and D+Pad […]
It’s Digital Overload 2007 announcement day! The website is up, and registration is open. A million thanks to Jeff Baxter for helping us get it up and running! In March of 2006 we hosted the first Digital Overload, a giant LAN party for the fans of Ctrl+Alt+Del. Hundreds of gamers showed up and gamed the […]
I want to talk for a moment about some game features I’d like to see more of. For me, most of the time, it’s the details in a game that really make it shine. I mean all the obvious stuff like good graphics, good controls, good story, etc, are a given. I mean we all […]
Actually I guess you don’t need to play in ranked matches to unlock stuff. Very good to know.
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I spent the week up on Cape Cod with my family, eating lots of food and relaxing. Yes, I know Player Four has been unlocked, and I will update the Bios page eventually, just relax. I was on vacation. So boy, I sure was wrong about some games. […]
So lets talk about some video games, shall we? First of all, am I the only one who was severely disappointed by the Rainbow Six: Vegas multiplayer demo that hit the marketplace this weekend? I don’t know what happened. I loved the single player demo, and I guess I had high-hopes for the multiplayer portion […]
Of Daniel Craig as James Bond.
In the above newspost I suggested that the guy that ran into the pole could have possibly been a moron. After watching video of the event, I think that perhaps the fault is not entirely his own. He may be a moron, I really don’t know. But I feel sorry for the kid, I bet […]
I’ll tell you, I don’t feel sorry for all the people that camped out for a PS3 and went home empty handed. If you’re desperate enough for a video game that you needed to camp outside in the cold and rain for a week, you better have understood the score. However this is some really […]
So the Xfire chat went really well last night. Those are always a lot of fun. Thanks to everyone who showed up and asked questions. If you didn’t make it, I’ll post the transcript as soon as they tell me it’s ready. Ctrl+Alt+Del was mentioned on MTV last night. As I was getting ready to […]
You know, there are a ton of video games shipping this week, and not a single one interests me. Don’t get me wrong, I have not forgotten that we are on the verge of the next-generation onslaught, but to be perfectly honest, beneath all the Wii/PS3 hype, I’m not that excited. There are only a […]
A couple of things to start with. I’d like to wish the United States Marine Corps a happy 231st birthday. My uncle is a Marine, and I have a lot of respect for all of the men and women in our country’s armed forces. So go out and celebrate this weekend! The Spider-man 3 trailer […]
Hey hey. So before I retreat into my Gears of War cocoon for the day, I wanted to let you know that I’m participating in Mtv/Xfire’s Gamer’s Week. It looks like my stuff is scheduled for Tuesday, November 14th. We’ll do a chat, and then I’ll play some video games with people (BF2 I think, […]
I was itching to do some Gears of War artwork, so yesterday I whipped this picture up. You can see the pencils and inks in my journal. I promise once I wake up I’ll make the wallpaper into other resolutions, I just need sleep right now. Update: I’ve added a whole bunch of new wallpaper […]
