Topical Gaming Strip

By Tycho – January 31, 2011

With two analog sticks, two triggers, a d-pad, four face buttons, two cameras, and front and back trackpads, it's entirely possible that you will be speaking in ASL - inadvertently - every time you play a game. It might do to bone up on some of the basics, actually, maybe with a focus on what you don't want to sign. There are still vital questions to be asked of the device, in ASL or English, and there are answers nestled in today's installment.

Dickwolves

By Gabe – January 30, 2011

It’s true that we have decided to remove the Dickwolves shirt from the store. Some people are happy about this but a lot more of you are upset. You think we’ve caved into to pressure from a vocal minority and you’re not entirely wrong. let me at least break down why we did it though.

I Am Learning So Much About Shoes You Guys

By Tycho – January 28, 2011

For example, collating your feedback thus far, we have arrived at a low-cut, sleek skate-type shoe with a "cupsole" style "outsole." The side (or "quarter") as well as the "heel counter" are broad and available for whatever art or expression we collectively choose. I am suggesting a single, giant semicolon, but I'm open to suggestions. Materials for these portions can be combined (with suede, canvas, or leather being the most common). They're suggesting no more than three colors for the raw construction.

Bedevilment

By Tycho – January 28, 2011

I'm spending more time on the PC than I have in a very long time, and it's a policy I can't help but maintain - my Steam list is full of orders so pre they can't be loaded in advance, like The Witcher 2, or the second Dragon Age, or Dawn of War II: Retribution, all of which are little more than file paths which redirect to the untamed future.

Inner Wealth

By Tycho – January 26, 2011

If it is possible to be happier with the opening sequence of Dead Space 2, I'm not entirely sure how that would happen. Having returned from a jaunt to Dante's Inferno, EA's skunkworks imprint Visceral Games isn't fucking around in any way, shape, or form. Many reviews laud the audio specifically, and they should - I'm experiencing it in what must approach the optimal fashion, hearing every sound in absolute terms, seated in the unrelenting dark afraid for my life.

A New World Record

By Tycho – January 24, 2011

This strip is less true than the one previous, because as much as we might be curious about getting our armies on some random table and smashing them together, I'm not sure we have it in us just yet. I'm not certain I'd feel entirely prepared until I had played n+1 games, where n equals the amount of games I could reasonably play during the rest of my life.

Imagine My Surprise

By Tycho – January 21, 2011

It's all true. I showed it to Gabriel, against my own better judgement, who quickly made it his wallpaper. Shortly thereafter he brought in several unauthorized "consultants" from the office to determine her identity (the results weren't good) and I've seen a couple home screens now which also feature the image in question.  So... I guess that's cool.  

Shooz

By Tycho – January 20, 2011

I mentioned it before, but we are starving for data.  Well, maybe not starving, because we have a lot.  But we want more!  If you have any evocative footwear revelations, check our project out on the Facebooks or send us the emails to that effect.

The Five Stages Of Grief

By Tycho – January 19, 2011

Gabriel's World of Warcraft account got hacked, which (as a practical matter) means that this guild got hacked, and the deep vault of its guild bank tranched, and his character left to shiver nude in some digital hedge. Panel One was a literal conversation, and it's a little spooky to think of some malevolent force in control of your character. I'm talking about something separate from the acts they commit, which tend toward the upper bound of nefarious.  I mean that, for anyone else logged on, it was Gabe.  Did they greet this monster?

Dickerdoodle Winners

By Gabe – January 17, 2011

Sorry for the delay but I have finally chosen this year's Dickerdoodle winners. After sorting through hundreds of entries I believe this is my favorite:

Precipice Epilogue

By Tycho – January 14, 2011

Here it is, the last chunk of Episode 3 - Chapter Twenty-Two, Epilogue For A Universe.  I'm very sad to be done with it.  But I'm not done fully: I'm going to do a Director's Cut, replete with notes and so forth, and more to read.  But I'm going to let it rest for a little bit, and come back to it.
