How convenient. Dungeons and Dragons Online is offering a 7-Day free trial. (also here) So I’m going to hold a GameDay tomorrow and we’ll play DDO. If you already play DDO, that’s cool too, you’re all set. Otherwise, you need to get all set up for the trial. You have a day to get that […]

So I wasn’t sure what I was going to talk about for today’s newspost. The comic pretty much exists in it’s own little world of my twisted parody imagination, and doesn’t beg a discussion. The only games I’m playing right now are games that have been out for ages. Can you believe I’m playing God […]

See? He went about calling himself “Mookie”, and I had to take my size 11’s to his head.

So the Guitar Hero sequels have been announced… I’m dedicating this comic to my pal Citrus Kennedy Biscuit Jones the Third. Citrus is a great friend, and one of the most metal people I know. And he’s a die-hard Guitar Hero fan. And if he tries to tell you his name is anything other than […]

Head on over to Brian’s site, and read his last newspost (it’s at the bottom). Your help and email powers are needed.

This is pure gold. I can figure out most of the movies he took clips from, the Hulk is pretty obvious, but it’s really clever and well assembled.

Tom Brazelton does Theater Hopper, which is to movies as CAD is to video games. I’ve known Tom since back when I was a member of Dayfree Press. He recently emailed me that he’s releasing his first book. He’s trying to cover the printing costs by accepting preorders, and trust me, I know how nerve-wracking […]

Normally I don’t do this, but I know there are a good chunk of readers outside of the U.S. who haven’t seen the Allstate insurance “good hands” ad campaign. Hell, I’m sure there are some people here stateside who haven’t seen them. Anyway, here’s an example. You know, for reference. I do usually try to […]

I just gave the game a spin. The beginning isn’t really conducive to a GameDay like this. Either that or it’s 6am and my attention span is shot to hell. I’ll wait until they do another free trial of some sort so more people can get in on it.

Umm, I think I’m going to do an Auto Assault CAD GameDay tomorrow (Saturday). I don’t have the details yet, but I’ll post those soon. It will probably be sometime around mid-afternoon EST. I played the game at E3 last year, and I haven’t tried it out since. I got a copy and I want […]

I hope you’ll pardon my venting a bit. While Paris Hilton has always disgusted me, over the last week or so while renovating my apartment, I would have the TV on in the background and ‘The Simple Life’ would come on. I had managed to have never seen this show before, but after finally being […]

Battlefield 2. Err, I mean, Battlefield 2 Modern Combat. Wouldn’t want anyone getting confused. I played it even after I said I wouldn’t, and just as I suspected, I wasn’t impressed. It’s not that it’s a bad game, I just don’t find it as fulfilling as the PC predecessor. I’ll be honest with you though, […]

I’ve been pretty distracted over the last week or so. I know it. I haven’t been very present here or in CAD Premium, and for that I apologize. In checking my email, I’m seeing a few questions arising often, so I thought I might take a moment and throw out some answers here. Q. Is […]

Hey guys, thanks for all the emails about Kaylee, and for being ok with my skipping the front page news on Friday. Kaylee is a little bundle of joy, and she’s a very sweet puppy. I’ll get some more pictures up on my journal this week. In the meantime, Tomb Raider Legend hits tomorrow, and […]

Sorry guys, no real “news” post for today. Instead… puppy! Her name is Kaylee. She’s a 10 week-old Yorkshire Terrier. We picked her up yesterday. So it’s Friday, and I’m pretty distracted today. I’m going to get tomorrow’s comic finished, and then relax for the weekend. See you on Monday!

From the emails I’ve been getting so far, the wonderful smell of a new video game is something many gamers savor. I’ve heard a few different theories, that the smell comes from plastic softeners used on the case (what?), or the chemical residue from pressing the disc with bountiful digital entertainment. Or perhaps the ink […]

The new Tomb Raider hits most platforms next week. I’ve posted my first impressions over on CADMedia, and you can grab a PC demo if you’re inclined to try it yourself. I must say, I was rather surprised at how many people got caught by my April Fools gag on Saturday. I don’t usually do […]

So I guess my big news for today is that CADMedia is finally live. Well, technically it went live late Wednesday night, but there were still a couple of bugs to be worked out, so I wasn’t shouting it from the rooftops. But it appears to be running fairly stable now (we’ll find out once […]

I’m feeling a little bit better today. The congestion is subsiding. Thanks for the well wishes! I think by now I’ve played just about enough Oblivion to faithfully report on the game, and my review for that will be up a bit later. The folks at Red Octane (the makers of Guitar Hero), have mentioned […]

Gonna make this short and sweet today. I’m battling a bit of a head cold (heh, almost typed head crab there. “You know you’re a gamer when…”) and I want to try and get some rest to prevent it from getting worse. This is a really nifty website that displays panoramic screenshots of video game […]

Wow, another very successful GameDay. I’m becoming addicted. That was a lot of fun. Thanks to everyone who came out to play, and thanks to Valkyrie and Chiprel and gang for setting up a great server for us to play on, and for showing us noobs the ropes. I’m taking a break, but the server […]

Some members of the Savage community have put up a server for us to use. We’ll just use that so you can keep playing together even after I stop. Server name: CTRL ALT DEL Online Server IP: 216.15.252.190Password: ethan It is a public server, though, so you may want to put CAD in front of […]

Updated Ok, I’m cleaning up this post a little bit. I think some people were getting confused with all the links I was posting. I want to make sure everyone is using the same version of the game, to minimize problems with connecting this afternoon. I also want to address the “freeware/not freeware” issue. Here […]

A demo for Blazing Angels is now on Xbox Live. I downloaded it and gave it a spin, and I wasn’t all that impressed. Don’t get me wrong, the graphics and controls are superb. The subject matter was just a little… blah, for me. It might have just been the demo content. If anything was […]
