PAX: Only 400 3-Day Passes Left

By Tycho – August 20, 2009

Pretty much what it says up there.  If you're thinking of coming to the entire show, think quickly, and grab your tickets.  We expect those to sell out today.  We'll have a limited number of day passes available, but we can't guarantee there'll be any left when you get there.

Making a strip

Here is a recording I made yesterday while I was making the strip:

Character Assassination

By Tycho – August 19, 2009

As proponents of interactive electronic entertainment, we're accustomed to troglodytic salvos from all corners re: the fiendish nature of this hobby. I feel like troglodytic is a savvy choice, but I may be in the minority; I would also accept backwoods, and bonus points could certainly be earned for uncorking something like "benighted" or "unlettered."

The Talisman

By Gabe – August 17, 2009

You might not have heard, but we recently switched publishers. We are now apart of the Random House family and our new books from them should start hitting early next year. They also happen to be publishing a new comic series based on Stephen King and Peter Straub's "The Talisman". They approached me about creating an alternate cover for the comic and I let them know it sounded cool but I'd never read the original book. I grabbed it for my Kindle iPhone app and discovered two things. First, the Kindle iPhone app is awesome and I love reading books on it. Second, The Talisman is rad.

As Regards Gabriel's Opponent

The fact that his handle is "Ladylike Raul" shifts that entire conversation deep into Salvador Dali territory.

Tangy, With Notes Of Hazelnut

By Tycho – August 14, 2009

I'd been very diligent in my consumption of Arkham Asylum marketing materials, up until the demo at least, which is typically the capstone of a marketing push. Yet footage continues to leak, leakingly, as though from some kind of... leak machine, and I've sworn it off altogether. The Goddamned thing comes out in less than two weeks, I'm sure I can find something to occupy myself in the meantime.

Automata Wallpaper

A very nice piece from Hawk over at Applegeeks, not that great work from Hawk is any surprise:

Consider The Nub

By Tycho – August 12, 2009

There is a kind of genius expressed by Blizzard's mission to level the curve of World of Warcraft's original experience, slashing down brambles and rooting out malevolent fauna in an effort to grease the chute. As someone who has escaped its necrotic whorls, it feels a little like they're diluting the meager achievements I managed to secure, but any maneuver that diminishes the petty cruelties of that arc must be seen as a kindness in aggregate.

Last thing I promise

By Gabe – August 12, 2009

Well the last two days have been pretty crazy. I'm still pouring through mail trying to answer as many people as I can. I'd like to say that now that I have read more about this system I think it's pretty shady. I'm a little worried that guys reading the site might take our discussion here as some sort of endorsement and I want to make sure that isn't the case. While some of their advice is probably fine I think the majority of it is really sleazy. Again, I can't blame guys for seeking out help. All joking aside though, I just want to make it clear that I don't think the seduction community is the place to go. I understand how badly you want to believe that there is a system out there that if you can simply master will resolve your problems. Sadly I don't think that's the case and if there is such a system, it certainly isn't this one.

I think that's probably the last thing I'll say about the subject. I honestly had no idea what I was getting into here but its been a real eye opener. Thanks to everyone that mailed me from both sides.

People have been asking me when the Cardboard Tube Samurai statue thing was going on sale.  The answer is: now.

Love Systems

By Tycho – August 11, 2009

If things have gone well for me on this go 'round, it's because I'm constantly being given opportunities to learn things.  That is to say, I have had many opportunities to be savaged by reality in ironically appropriate ways.  I don't know exactly what I'm supposed to emerge from some of these experiences with, but I do emerge from them, armed for the next surreal asault from a hostile universe.

Wow, just fucking wow.
