I have fallen prey to the hype. Well, not the hype, per se, but I’ve definitely been bitten by the Emergence Day bug. Whereas I’ve somehow managed to keep my blinders relatively clear of Gears of War for the duration of its production, now on the eve of its release I’ve become really psyched. I’ve […]

The Ryzom GameDay was fun, thanks to everyone who came out. We spent a good while running around like a swarm of locusts, destroying (or being destroyed by) everything in our path. We also played around with some dueling and some free-for-all pvp for a bit. Towards the end we all made fat monkey-men and […]

The Ryzom GameDay has started, if you want to come goof off with us. The server is Cho.

A few weeks back I did an Xfire chat, and one of the prizes we gave away was the chance to have your likeness used for an extra in a comic strip. Ryan Yonce was the guy that won, and I’ve included his semblance in today’s strip. Not the guy protecting his kibbles and bits, […]

So, holy crap about this month, huh? Next week Gears of War, Call of Duty 3, Viva Piniata, and then shortly after Rainbow Six: Vegas and THPS Project 8. Then the PS3 and the Wii launches soon, and Twilight Princess, Resistance, and all the games that launch with them. And I’m not even done milking […]

Nevrax, the makers of Ryzom, are advertising with us this month, and they’ve given me a bunch of full-access, one-month trial keys to do with as I please. So I’m having a little contest to give the keys away. So here are the basic rules: The screenshot must be show Ryzom or Ryzom ring material. […]

I’m told that my copy of Neverwinter Nights 2 will arrive on my doorstep sometime this afternoon. I haven’t been talking much about this game, though I’ve been quietly anticipating its release. I got a few minutes with it earlier this year at E3, and though my experience was too short, and with too early […]

So some of you have heard of Ryzom, I assume? It’s a pretty nifty little MMO, and they just released an update for it called Ryzom Ring, which actually allows players to create their own MMO modules for other people to play in. It’s surprisingly versatile, and polished. I spent a little time with it […]

So I haven’t really been all that hyped for Gears of War. Don’t get me wrong, it looks great, and I’ve got that sucker pre-ordered (hopefully they’ll send me the right one this time, more on that in a second), and I’ll play it. But while I’m well aware that Gears of War holds position […]

I could make a newspost now… or I could make one when I wake up. Sleep wins. Always.

Also, what’s up with that one girl chucking that poor crab out into the ocean? “This is where you live, crab. Go there.”

Today’s comic is pretty disturbed. I’m going to share with you the source of my bewilderment. I present to you Exhibit A. This video is probably NSFW. In fact, it’s probably NSFHBC (Not Safe For Human Brain Cells). Don’t feel pressured to watch the entire video, because it’s duration is eternity, but after a few […]

Yeah, it’s official. Next to BSG, Heroes is my favorite television series. Welcome to third place, Lost. (Though I am loving Studio 60)

Awesome, this week is finally here. I’ve been looking forward to Marvel Ultimate Alliance for ages, and it ships this week. I was a big fan of the X-Men Legends series, primarily because of the great co-op play. And with with Ultimate Alliance’s 4-player co-op/versus on Xbox Live, it should be even easier to get […]

The artwork that I brought along with me to demonstrate with at the RPI lecture was the material from today’s (Saturday) BF2142 strip. I wasn’t going to create an entire strip, I just wanted to walk the audience through some of the basics of how the comic is assembled at the RPI lecture. When it […]

Just got home from seeing it. I loved it. I highly recommend it.

Yep, I misspelled “Ritalin” in the comic today. Was rushing to get it done before I went to New York, and I missed the misspelling. It’s fixed now. Also, Terry Mesnard, one of our editors over at CADMedia, has posted an interview with Ragnar Tornquist, the creator of The Longest Journey.

Well, I’m back from New York, where I gave that “lecture” at RPI last night. All in all I think things went well. I had lots of fun, and it seemed like the audience enjoyed it, which was the most important thing to me. I talked a little bit about what my comic is and […]

Some various stuff to talk about today, not the least of which is that my copy of Splinter Cell: Double Agent has just arrived. Of course, I have to work right now, so it’s sitting quietly on my desk, staring at me, taunting me, mocking me. That’s fine. I’ll play you later, game. Also Battlefield […]

My soldier name is Absath, because plain old “Tim” was too short. I have the [CAD] tag in front of my name. There’s nothing official about it, no official squad or clan or whatever. Feel free to stick it in front of your name if you want to. You can send me a buddy list […]

Ok, so here’s the deal, as its been relayed to me, concerning the lecture I’m doing Thursday evening at RPI. Tickets are available to the public starting today. You’ll need to call the office with your name and how many tickets you’ll need, and you can pick your tickets up at the event with some […]

Ok, first things first (and since I get a few emails a day about it), what’s left of the Ctrl+Alt+Del books are now on sale in the store. We’ve marked them down to $14.95, and when they’re gone, they’re gone for a while. It will probably be early next year before I get around to […]

So we’ll do a Battlefield 2142 GameDay tomorrow. You can grab the demo here, or, I dunno, somewhere else. The GameDay thread is here. I’ll catch you guys tomorrow afternoon. I’ve been playing Dawn of War: Dark Crusade when I have the free time, and really enjoying it. The Necron are my personal army of […]

Just a little good-natured Sony teasing today. Again. Though I think they’ve done plenty in recent months that deserves to be made fun of, honestly, I don’t believe that Sony’s many, many perceived transgressions with this system are going to really impact launch sales all that much. Certainly not as much as the people crying […]
