Well everything is back to normal around here after my less-than-stellar start to the week. Thanks to everyone who wrote in; glad to know I’m not the only one who has forgotten he had an external storage device plugged in, and when windows shows the partitions thought absent-mindedly to himself “hmm, why are they showing […]

Oof.

June 5, 2006 by Tim

So last night, before I go to bed, my work rig runs a virus scan. No big deal. Except it deletes a file that has infused itself to the winlogin portion of the windows registry. So after that, every time the computer boots up, it logs in, blinks the desktop, and logs out again. I […]

The great land of Stupidia

June 2, 2006 by Tim

Sorry for the late post, I was busy slapping together a new trailer for you. I got a lot of positive feedback when I did it last week. I won’t be able to do one a week, but I’ll try to do them often. It’s been five months since we started releasing the Ctrl+Alt+Del Animated […]

X3 was great…

June 1, 2006 by Tim

…After I fell asleep during the movie and dreamt up my own version. Iceman made me icecubes for my Seven and Seven. He was dreamy.

Of heat and hotness

May 31, 2006 by Tim

It’s been pretty warm here this week. Pulled out the air conditioners and balanced them precariously out of various windows. I’ve always been more of a winter person. I live in New England, I love New England winters. Tried living further south for a year, and couldn’t stand it. My theory is, you can always […]

Applications

May 30, 2006 by Tim

I promised I’d post once I’d notified the writers I’ve selected to work with me on CADMedia, and here it is. I have read through nearly four-hundred various sample reviews (about 350 of them were on Oblivion or KH2, hehe). It was a long, tough process, and there were a lot of good entries that […]

In Memoriam

May 29, 2006 by Tim

The feedback from the trailer I posted on Friday was really positive, and I’m glad you enjoyed it. YouTube held up really well, and was easy to use, so I’ll do trailers more often and, time permitting, see if I can even make the occasional video news post for the main site here. The song, […]

Eyes closed tightly

May 26, 2006 by Tim

Yesterday I made some comments about a PS3 game licensing rumor (which I’ve now been told Sony denied, so the discussion is really moot), that got a lot of response. Many of you made very good arguments, and brought up some things that I hadn’t even thought of, like rentals, etc. Good show, people. Good […]

Sony Shtuff

May 25, 2006 by Tim

Two things, actually. First, there’s a rumor floating around (wildly unfounded at the moment, mind you), suggesting that Sony will sell licenses for PS3 games. Basically you’re paying your $50 for the license, and the actual software, digitally downloaded or a hard copy, is just a distribution method. This is to prevent the sale of […]

Blood Money

May 24, 2006 by Tim

Matt from the UK just emailed to inform me that the Hitman: Blood Money demo mission is in fact the tutorial for the game, and the rest of the game doesn’t walk you through the missions like that. Thanks Matt!

I picked up Rockstar Games Presents: Table Tennis. When they first announced this title, I was really interested in it… I’m not sure why. Perhaps it was just the novelty of a company like Rockstar doing a complete 180 in gametype from something like GTA. Or I wanted to see if they could really simulate […]

Once I saw that there was a demo for the PC version of G.R.A.W. available, I had to give it a shot, mainly to see my PhysX card in action. The game in itself, however, really surprised me. In particular, just how much better it was than the 360 version. And that’s saying something, because […]

Hey, why not

We need to form… an alliance.

May 19, 2006 by Tim

As a huge fan of the X-men Legends series (and, in fact, pretty much any cooperative action game), naturally I’m pretty excited about Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. It’s supposed to be the largest collection of super heroes every in a single game, and by gosh, I believe them. But how many heroes are too many? Hmm? […]

Whoa – Encore

May 18, 2006 by Tim

The second set of Volume 1 and 2 Collector edition we had for sale sold out after about 2 minutes. Sorry folks! They are officially all gone now.

Whoa

by Tim

The Volume 1 and 2 hardcovers we had on sale at 9am are already all gone. It only took like 3 minutes to sell what we had of Volume 2. Anyhow… if you didin’t get one, we’ll be putting some more online at 9pm EST. Good luck!

Hardcover books

May 17, 2006 by Tim

We’ve come across a batch of limited edition, numbered, hardcover copies of the CAD books that weren’t sold in the preorder last year. These editions will never be printed again, so if you missed out on ordering them last year, this is your final chance. Last year we sold out of 1000 of these hardcover […]

I always knew CADMedia would have to be a group project; it’s far too much for one man to cover alone. E3 really drove that point home, so I’m now going to start taking applications for volunteer writers to work on the site. You can find the guidelines here. If the guidelines seem strict, it’s […]

So most of you probably know that Vanguard recently changed publishers in the middle of their beta phase, citing “differences of opinion” or some such with Microsoft. However, apparently now there’s a report floating around suggesting the exact reason that spurred the sudden change. I was already enjoying the irony surrounding Sigil, the company Everquest […]

After a tiring week of travel and video game expo, I’m now back at home and settling into my routine once again. This year’s E3 was a great show, now that all the next-generation consoles are on display and playable. Some games I hadn’t been paying attention to before have now caught my eye, and […]

New FAQ question

May 14, 2006 by Tim

Q: You made fun of Macs today. Why do you hate Macs so much? A. I don’t hate Macs. I personally have no use for them, but that doesn’t mean I hate Macs. I do, however, dislike Mac fanboys who can’t take a joke, and I enjoy seeing them get all bent out of shape. […]
