I’m a terrorist, eh?

February 6, 2007 by Tim

Well that was a rough two days. Sebastian and Brian from SplitReason were great, and fun to hang out with while I signed books, but everything else about the trip sucked. I stayed up all night Saturday, figuring I’m usually up to 3am anyway, I may as well stay up to be sure I don’t […]

Or even longer

February 5, 2007 by Tim

Nevermind, I’m too travel weary right now to accurately express my severe disdain for the establishment that is the Canadian immigration office, at the moment. I’ll newspost tomorrow.

Hey, late newspost, I know. Sorry, I literally just got in from my trip to Vancouver. Give me an hour or so to settle in and I’ll tell you about it. In the meantime I fixed the breath/breathe type in the comic. Just refresh. Woops.

The cream-filled center

January 31, 2007 by Tim

You know what’s about six kinds of not fun? Root canals. I had the first part of a root canal last night, to relieve a serious sensitivity in my upper-right canine that’s been causing intermittent pain since Saturday. The catch is, we (me, a dentist and an endodontist) couldn’t figure out why the tooth was […]

I’m pleased to let you know that the shipments of the Zeke Plushie, Ctrl+Alt+Del Volume 3, and the Analog and D+Pad comic book issue #1 have now all arrived at our warehouse. I was trying to get everything to arrive at around the same time, which caused some delays, but this way if anyone wanted […]

Winter-een-mas 2007 Dawn of War GameDay

January 29, 2007 by Tim

I’m hosting some DoW: Dark Crusade games on Armagedon. Just look for my rooms under [CAD]Absath.

Waaargh!

by Tim

Well, I spent the majority of my weekend glued to Vanguard: Saga of Heroes and my Ranger on Florendyl. When I wasn’t in Telon, I was gaming it up with fans in one of our numerous GameDays. I had a lot of fun at each of the GameDays. We’ve got another one coming up tonight […]

I’ll be playing Gears of War at 3pm EST. Send me a friends request before then (Absath) and I’ll approve you. Then starting at 3pm, I’ll host a series of matches, best two out of three rounds. After each match, I’ll restart the room, so new people have a chance to join. See you there!

Going to be playing a bit of Dark Messiah of Might and Magic in a few hours, at 4pm EST. I’ll edit this post with the server info so you can join if you want. I’ll also be on the Ventrilo server at that time.The server is: DMTavern #5| Crusade| US

Ok, I cleared a bunch of spots on my Xbox Live friends list. From now until 8pm, I’ll accept any and all friend requests. Then at eight, I’ll start playing matches in Rainbow Six: Vegas, and you can join the game via my profile. I’ll be resetting (closing and reopening the room) every 10-15 minutes […]

Day Two

by Tim

Well, today is the second day of Winter-een-mas. If you celebrate, we’re doing a series of GameDay events. We played some Battlefield 2142 last night, and it was lots of fun. Tonight we’ll be playing Rainbow Six: Vegas on the 360. Most likely what I’ll do is, sometime before the event, I’ll clear out my […]

So it feels like the Crackdown demo was more of a curse than a blessing. It served only to whet my appetite further, without truly satisfying my need for super agent killing sprees. It showed me bliss, but didn’t actually let me own the feeling. The all-too-short demo, with its accelerated skill progression, gives a […]
