More important things to focus on

October 19, 2005 by Tim

Boy, there sure has been a lot of anti-Jack Thompson sentiment flying around lately. A lot of it has been flying its way into my inbox, which I guess I find to be no surpise given my recent comments on the topic. I want to sort of clarify a few things here. I definitely do […]

A whole city just for them

October 17, 2005 by Tim

So I tried out the City of Villains beta this weekend. I mean really tried it out. I had some limited experience with it at E3, but with the beta I got to sit down and really play around with it. As happened with City of Heroes, I spent the most of my time on […]

It has not disappeared

October 14, 2005 by Tim

We have just about decided on a city, venue and date for the CAD LAN party next year. I promise I will get that information to you just as soon as things are settled. I don’t want to announce it until we’ve signed a contract and things are set in “stone”. But trust me when […]

Too funny

October 13, 2005 by Tim

In the thousands of emails I’ve gotten in the past twenty-four hours, I’ve seen dozens and dozens of offers to actually make my “Tack Jhompson” video game. Even a couple from honest-to-goodness large-developer employees. But one person, Lancelot on our forums, took it one step further, and I thought I’d share it with you. He’s […]

An open letter to Jack Thompson

October 12, 2005 by Tim

I don’t want to waste too much of my time on this guy; deep down we all know that not even being skullfucked by a cinderblock is going to knock any common sense into this guy. But certain things still need to be said. Many of you have heard about his “modest proposal”. Aside from […]

Shades of gray

October 10, 2005 by Tim

I’ve put in more time with Black and White, so I now feel qualified to tell you that this game is wonderful. That’s my professional opinion. Not that I wasn’t expecting anything Peter Molyneux touched not to turn to gold, but you have to remain skeptical if you want to form a solid opinion. Who […]

I chose the wolf

October 7, 2005 by Tim

Today’s comic is the first Ctrl+Alt+Del inked entirely in the computer. The methods and techniques I’ve used to create the comic since I began have changed a few times, but nothing drastic in the last year and a half until now. Previously I would pencil and ink the artwork by hand, and then scan it […]

Lost

October 6, 2005 by Tim

Can anyone out there hook me up with the first three episodes of this season’s Lost? Wow, you guys never cease to amaze with the speediness of your responses. Thanks a bunch everyone! I’m downloading the episodes right now, so I can get caught up with the season in progress. It will be the first […]

Technology, wow! Part Two

October 5, 2005 by Tim

I got my Cintiq 21UX today, and obviously I had to try it out right away. I got the thing all set up and grabbed one of the sketches from my journal, and started messing around. I did that in less than ten minutes. It works like a dream. Everything just feels so natural and […]

Been having a lot of fun with my World of Warcraft guild on Dark Iron lately, The Rapscallions. We’re really a tight-knit community, and it shows. The other night word came through guild chat that some L40 Human Mage and his buddies were ganking solo Rapscallions out in Arathi. As I was only down in […]

I suppose as someone who makes it a point to stay on top of what is happening in the wonderful world of video games, it can be easy for me to forget that not everyone craves this level of complete knowledge of what has been, what is, and what soon will be. So when my […]

Hey Sub-zero… now just PLAIN zero!

October 3, 2005 by Tim

So there’s been a lot of stuff going on around here, and I’m pulling myself in half a dozen different directions, juggling half a dozen really large projects. By the end of last week I was stressing out a bit, so I gave myself a mandatory three-day vacation. My best friend came up from New […]

Serenity

September 30, 2005 by Tim

I would have posted news earlier, but I was out at the first showing of Serenity at a theater nearby. I don’t even know where to begin. At first, actually, I didn’t like the movie. Maybe it was seeing the characters I’ve grown to love on the big screen, I don’t know, but I felt […]

Short one today

September 28, 2005 by Tim

Ok, the first order of business today is that you all need to stop emailing ZeStuff about the books. I never said that all of the books had shipped, and if you think I ever said that, you need to slow down and read my newsposts more carefully. I finished signing all of the books […]

Horde Side Represent

September 26, 2005 by Tim

Going to be coming out with some new t-shirt designs soon, among other things, so I’ve started playing around with designs. Came up with this one for the WoW nerds. Is that something you’d be interested in?

CAD LAN Event

by Tim

Well, I’ve been given the green light to discuss one of the “big announcements” by Blind Ferret Entertainment, the company that is helping me organize it. For about a year now, on this website and on my personal journal/sketchdump, I’ve talked about someday holding a Ctrl+Alt+Del LAN event. Well now we’re moving forward with it. […]

Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy is really fun. It’s a great concept, if you haven’t read about it. It’s very much like playing a movie, and you get to control the main characters. Your actions with one character will have an effect on what happens with everyone else in the story. Let’s say, for instance, as the killer […]

Addendum

September 24, 2005 by Tim

Our first event will be hosted in the US only. I apologize to fans overseas that cannot make the trip, but if our first event is a success, perhaps sometime in the future we can consider other locations. It’s going to be a lot of work just organizing our first event, without trying to do […]

No, it’s not Big Boss

September 23, 2005 by Tim

If you watched the trailer for more than thirty seconds, you would see the part were Snake leans down and speaks into his transmitter and says “It’s Snake, can you hear me?”. I don’t know when Snake lost an eye, but Big Boss’ eye patch is over his RIGHT eye, not his left. How’s that […]

So, Solid Snake is looking pretty spry for an old guy. I think aging main characters is neat, but it also sort of limits the resale value after a while. I wonder if they’ll pull a Croft on Snake. You know, kill him off, then change their minds and bring him back in a butchery […]

The Canada Fan Meet

September 22, 2005 by Tim

I wanted to post about the Fan Meet we had at the ZeStuff warehouse on Tuesday. We had done one the first time I went up to Canada, and it was a lot of fun. I only gave about a day’s notice, and we had 50-60 people show up. This time I gave a whopping […]
