So Dawn of War: Dark Crusade should be shipping today, which I’m excited about. I’ve been playing a bit of the first game and expansion, and I’m anxious to get behind the Necron, my 40K army of choice. There’s a Battlefield 2142 demo out, so I’m thinking about having a short GameDay this Saturday. I […]

News of some sort forthcoming. I need to see a mattress about some sleep.

Have you heard about this new texture compression technology? I’ve always been interested in the texture side of video games. Some of you know that way back before I started this comic, I used to do a lot of skinning in the Jedi Knight 2 community. Making these files smaller opens up a lot of […]

Been following this for a tick. Oh man. The overwhelming flood of memories. Awesome. The Prestige comes out in a few weeks. This is one that I’ve really been looking forward to. Check out the trailer, if you haven’t seen it. Speaking of “in a few weeks”, I’ll be giving a lecture at the Rensselaer […]

So X-men 3 comes out on DVD this week. I know this because I haven’t been able to turn around for the past two weeks without being advertised to about it. It’s been a veritable media blitz. I ordered a pizza last week, and even the fucking pizza box was letting me know about the […]

Heh, I was cleaning up one of my external hard drives yesterday, and came across a couple of videos I made right after The Movies came out. I threw ’em up on YouTube if anyone wants to see them. They’re pretty ridiculous.

Been looking forward to this one. Here’s a demo.

Graaarrr! As if there weren’t enough games coming out in the next few months to eat up what spare free time I manage to get, now Brian has gone and got me interested in Dawn of War. With so many RTS games out there, I’d always just let Dawn of War float under my radar. […]

I’ve become a bit of a “next-gen” snob. I don’t mind admitting it. In the past year since the release of the 360, my GameCube, PS2 and original Xbox controllers have collected their fair share of dust, for a variety of reasons. With the limited free time I have to play games, I usually default […]

So I’ve had the trailer for Frank Miller’s 300 up all weekend, so I imagine most of you have seen it by now. I read the graphic novel sometime back, and I love that they’re making it into a movie. It’s such a fun take on the Battle of Thermopylae. I’ve heard some people around […]

300 (PS: This trailer is getting yanked from everywhere I see it posted. Watch it while you can.) (Update- Yep it’s gone now. But this link still works. Muahaha.)

So Microsoft has decided to repair any busted Xbox 360 that was manufactured in 2005 for free. Some of you may (and did; thanks for the emails) remember that my first-gen Xbox bit the dust a couple of weeks ago. Well, thankfully I haven’t done anything about it yet, so I’m going to fire it […]

Terry Mesnard, one of our CADMedia writers, is rocking out with all the latest Tokyo Games Show news. So check it out!

Holy crap, Microsoft is just clobbering Sony today. First of all, they’ve partnered with Hironobu Sakaguchi, the guy behind the Final Fantasy series to deliver two exclusive RPG’s to the 360. The first of which, Blue Dragon, will be packaged with the core 360 system in Japan for the holidays to help move the system. […]

So if you hadn’t heard, the Tokyo Games Show starts this week. It’s kind of a big deal. Then it’s followed by X06, which is another big thing for Microsoft and the 360. So Microsoft will be putting up a whole bunch of demos and videos up on XBL this week, supposedly starting today, for […]

I spent the weekend playing through Lego Star Wars 2 on co-op, and it was everything the original was and more. Everything that was great about the first was still intact, and they even added more items to collect and some cool new features. It also seemed like the game was more “lego-ish” than the […]

So we’ve got the Wiinformation. November 19th at $250. A few bills less than any other next-gen console and I’ve still seen people complaining that it’s too expensive. Go figure. I do like that they scrapped DVD playback on the system, to shave some dollars off the price tag. Smart thinking, there. So end of […]

Oh no no no I’m a rocket man. What the heck is this crap? European exclusive? Since when does Europe deserve anything exclusive? Everyone knows America is the only real country. I jest, I jest. Ease those indignant little fingers off the email “send” button. … The last thing anyone stateside wants is another boring, […]

The picture is a simple sketch on paper, with digital watercolors in Painter, and a few touch-ups in Photoshop. The quote is from Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. The faint shadow in the picture is the shadow of the World Trade Center cross, the only memorial currently standing at the WTC site. Thank your for all […]

The Xfire chat was lots of fun, as I expected. Many thanks to all the great fans who signed up, and to the Xfire team for running everything, and sorting through the madness for questions for me to answer. I’ll post whenever the transcript is made available.

I just couldn’t pass up a Rocky reference. So I had a great time in Vegas. I gambled a little bit, and actually stayed even for the entirety of the trip, which was sort of frustrating. I went over to Hart and Huntington which was neat. They were busy, and said they could fit me […]

Back from Vegas. Newspost after sleep.

Went to see an improv show at Harrah’s last night. I have to give this guy a shout-out. I thought Jeremy Hotz was hilarious. On my comedian scale he was easily above Dane Cook, and just below or on-par with Jim Gaffigan. So if you hear the name Jeremy Hotz on tv or wherever, stop and […]
