Where to begin

September 10, 2004 by Tim

Before anything else here, I would like to congratulate Mike on the birth of his baby boy, Gabriel Aden Krahulik. You have my best wishes, bud. He looks like a champ. Free time for me is something to be coveted and revered. It’s almost akin to water in the desert, providing just enough sustenance to […]

Burning out

September 8, 2004 by Tim

Holy crap, Burnout 3 is a fun game. I don’t want to put it down, it just oozes fun. It’s got a perfect balance between arcade handling and real-world physics. I love a technical racer as much as the next guy, but give me an arcade racer any day of the week. If you don’t […]

Here’s the article that ran in my old local newspaper, the Cape Cod Times: FALMOUTH – Since the Iraq war began in the March 2003, Carol Bagarella has been reminding people to support the soldiers. Now, she said, one of the troops who needs as much support as any is her son. Last month, Marine […]

Rainy days

by Tim

Man it’s been raining non-stop down here lately. Anyway, I have a few things I want to touch on today, but I’ll get to the rest later, in a separate news post. I used to contemplate joining the military service. Out of high school, still not sure what I wanted to do with my life, […]

Exclusives!

September 7, 2004 by Tim

That is the Exclusives! wallpaper that is currently being sent out to anyone who has donated since June 14th and now, and anyone who donates between now and the end of September. Interested?

Le sigh

September 6, 2004 by Tim

Well, I have some good news and some bad news. Good news and bad news for me, it really doesn’t affect any of you at all. However, I have a policy of keeping you guys ‘in the know’, so here’s what’s going on. It looks like I can’t take my vacation (that’s the bad news). […]

Ride the short bus

September 3, 2004 by Tim

It looks like I’ll be taking my vacation mid next week. Maybe around Wednesday or Thursday. I’ve decided to start my vacation around then so that when I take a week off, when Fable comes out the following Tuesday, I’ll still have a couple of days off to really play the shit out of it. […]

By the way

September 1, 2004 by Tim

Go download and play this demo. It fucking rocks. The game has gone gold, but isn’t going to be on store shelves until the end of September. Nuts to that. If there are any of you out there who want to raid the Vivendi Universal offices and procure me a full version of this game… […]

Thwarted!

by Tim

Well, we had a bit of a server hiccup this morning. The database server was acting funky, and I was unable to upload the comic. I stayed awake until 6am hoping that it would start working again, but eventually I had to cut my losses and get to sleep, and upload it when I woke […]

Just a few words…

August 30, 2004 by Tim

I say this occasionally, but even if I said it every day, it wouldn’t feel like I said it enough. Thank you. I’m constantly getting emails from people thanking me for drawing the comic and whatnot, but truly it’s I who owe you the gratitude. I get to do what I love every single day, […]

So soon…

by Tim

Fable is now a mere two weeks away. I was in Gamestop Saturday night with a friend picking up some games, and I was talking to the manager. Usually I don’t pre-order games. I’ve never had a problem just walking in on release day and picking them up. However after talking to this guy I […]

Guess what?

August 28, 2004 by Tim

Wanna know something interesting? Today’s strip is the 400th CAD strip I’ve drawn.

Flooded

August 27, 2004 by Tim

Weee! Look at me! I’m postin’! I’m newspostin’! Anyway, imagine my horror when I saw Fileplanet last night and their big announcement of an upcoming World of Warcraft stress test for the public. Imagine the look on my face and the horrific images that flashed through my mind of the servers, our precious beta servers, […]

Bah

August 26, 2004 by Tim

Well, I functioned on a cognitive level all day long, but I don’t think I ever really woke up. It’s alright. I probably didn’t have anything interesting to say anyway.

Ouch

August 25, 2004 by Tim

I set a goal for myself… to have every last international order shipped by this weekend. In an attempt to meet that goal, I sat down yesterday to package up every single order that remained, so that all I had left to do was actually ship them. It took me close to fourteen straight hours, […]

Hey, guess what I worked on tonight?

August 24, 2004 by Tim

The ConnectiCon 2004 report. Surprisingly, although the con was over a month ago, I still remember most of it. You guys should have it by the end of the week.

Hate the morons

August 23, 2004 by Tim

I’m halfway done shipping international orders. There is a very good chance that I will be done with shipping, completely, by this weekend. Wish me luck. I just got back from the post office and I’m a bit irritated. I had made an entirely different news post to put up about the subject, but then […]

Importance

August 20, 2004 by Tim

I have a couple of notes to make about the books (won’t we all be happy when I can stop talking about this damned book every news post? I know I will). First of all, international orders are proceeding well. I’ve got my fingers crossed to have them all shipped by next weekend. Can I […]

To get cleaned?

August 19, 2004 by Tim

The weekly meetings have been going well, aside from this homeless guy who seems to show up every week. He calls himself Mr.Madsen, and he sort of smells funny. Like old fish. But he always brings the booze, so I tolerate him.

Grrr

August 18, 2004 by Tim

Yes, I know the advertisements are messing up a bit. We’re trying to figure out what the problem is with the new system. Bear with me.

Milestone

by Tim

Alright, the newspost is late. Why? I was working all morning, and I wanted to finish before I posted so I could tell you about the good news. As of this post, every single book order destined to somewhere within the United States has been shipped. So if you ordered a book, and haven’t received […]

Servers and such

August 16, 2004 by Tim

Also, you can try Ctrl+F5 to refresh your cache for this site, if you’re having trouble viewing the new server. Speaking of which, we’re doing some maintenance… apparently the new server is having trouble keeping up with the heavy traffic that CAD receives. We’re working on it. Thank you for your patience.

I’ve been getting reports that some of you can’t see the comic strips. All you get for the past three strips are red X’s. This sounds to me like you’re still seeing the old server (We switched servers a few days ago). If you performed the hosts file edit a few months back, when we […]

Kablooey!

by Tim

Today’s comic is a continuation of today’s Applegeeks strip. As of this writing, Hawk doesn’t know I’ve done this yet. Let me explain. Saturday afternoon sometime, as I was coloring the very strips that were originally scheduled to appear today and Wednesday, Hawk messaged me to ask if I wanted to read the script for […]
