Hey guys! So one of the comments on Monday’s strip was attempting to direct me to a certain (semi) animated game reviewer by the name of Yatzee… He writes and produces a video game review where he talks really fast in a suspiciously British although in reality Australian accent throwing in words like ballocks, twat, tosser and any other obscure foreign swear word unknown to the western world while railing against the torrents of terrible laughable games shoveled onto the market place with impunity every single day…. (see what I did there? it’s called an homage) But you know what? I’ve been watching this guys stuff for a while now because despite my quiet personal inklings that he is actually a tremendous dick, the guy is actually really funny. Getting back to the comment, I realized that perhaps not everyone has had the pleasure of experiencing Yahtzee’s personal brand of humorous rage… so go check out Zero Punctuation today and chuckle with glee at the man who’s obvious high blood pressure will likely kill him before he becomes old enough for his cynicism to befit his age.

Hey guys! Been working a little bit on a map for my next D&D session… thought I’d post some in progress pics.

Hey guys… I did this sketch at lunch today and thought I’d share!

It has been a while since I’ve done any animation at home and I decided to whip this up while I was watching Warehouse 13 last night. It’s nothing special, but I thought I would share.

Hey Guys!
Finally got around to uploading this image to the site. It was sent to me by Lou Manglass of “Yet Another Webcomic.” Lou’s been reading the comic for a long time now and I actually got to meet him at PAX East this year for an evening of Beer and Munchkin. Lou sent me this piece of fan art just after my son was born and I’ve been meaning to get it up on the site for a while. Either way it’s up now for you all to enjoy! Also, be sure to check out his site to read his comic and check out his process page and gadgets!

Check out his site for a daily dose of sketches, video tutorials and live drawing feeds!

Zero Punctuation is fantastic. I do feel he’s been phoning it in a bit lately, but it’s still pretty good.
And I am curious to see the Tony Hawk board in action. I have no interest in it myself, but are people supposed to jump and such on this? How long could it possibly stand up to that abuse? It can’t possibly be good for solid wood flooring, and can you imagine if the floor (laminate or wood) was slick?
This may breathe life back in to wiihaveaproblem.com yet, unless I misunderstand the point of the peripheral.

Well the game did terribly in the reviews…. and they have special grip pads for hardwood floors. Apparently the board is of excellently sturdy build quality and can stand abuse but comes with it’s own set of problems (one of them being the amount of work you do when you have to stoop down to do a board grab).
X-Play tested out the board and said if you’re going to put so much effort into the game, you might as well go out and try learning a real skateboard
Apparently the game itself does not do too good of a job either.
I kind of feel bad for the developers who work this hard to see the game flop so badly……

@Siddharth True, I imagine they did work hard, but if it’s not well-executed then what are you going to do? Effort alone isn’t enough. I just hope it wasn’t corporate pressure that made them push out a bad game for the holidays. Could you imagine if you were that team, and you were so close to a good game but you had to bend to the whims of marketing? Guh…
Thanks for the heads-up! I still prefer to think of people sliding around and busting their butts on floors, but somewhere deep inside I always knew they’d cover their bases in such a litigious society.

Actually I was going to say something similar… I’m sure there was some poor shmo who was telling people on the dev team that this was a bad idea… unfortunately it seems like the sane ones are never listened to….

Haha I’m pretty sure that must have happened….
I guess they just got carried away with the idea that the game might sell because of the cool board or something and the one guy who tried telling them it’s a bad idea probably got marked down as “not being a team player”…..
I like games which try out something new but that doesn’t mean you endanger the spindly legs of your core demographic; As we all know, a gamer’s strength lies in his thumbs and not his ability to do kickflips

By the way… a totally random point but I just ordered Mirror’s Edge….. I had it wayyy back but my friend messed up the disc when he tilted the xbox while the game was still running…..
I’m actually more excited about (re)playing this game more than I am about playing left 4 dead 2….
