New Comic: The Ultimatum

Tycho: We kept thinking about the Xbox Live price hike as the week went on, trying to divine its purpose, and came up with a big ol' goose egg. And a comic, I guess. And I ordered a big stack of cut-rate 12 month cards. But other than that, no. Well, get more money, I guess. That part is relatively straightforward. I think the strip more or less communicates the guts of it. The friends list represents an organism that you have tended over X years, nearly eight in my case, and has a value independent of the expenditure the way ...

New Comic: Remove Sandals (0/2)

Tycho: The Bible Online, right? Where has this thing been? As a setting, we've emphasized on multiple occasions that the Bible is woefully underutilized. Once you start looking at the book from a gaming perspective, the genres jump right off the fucking page. Obviously, Exodus - the period covered by the game - should be an MMO. Jonah? Adventure. Samson is an Action RPG - he literally equips a weapon mid-narrative. David? JRPG. Armageddon? Tactics. Dead Sea Scrolls? CCG. Song of Solomon? Dating sim. Revelations? Survival horror. It just doesn't stop. There's plenty of weird stuff in there, certainly; I imagine ...

Gabe: Here is another of our Star Wars Political Cartoons:   -Gabe out Tweet

Tycho: There's a new Blamimation in town.  Well, there's a new Blamimation, but there's also a whole new way to experience them - Blamimation Nights.  Find out what it means to you.  (CW)TB

Tycho: We've known Jim Zubkavich for a long time, and in a way, you probably know him too - his art is everywhere.  He's a webcomics pioneer, he did the art for that online Zork, and he works for UDON, so he's literally up to his ass in iconic works for Capcom.  He's taking some time to kick out a pulpy, dungeon crawler type comic called Skullkickers, so if you have enjoyed his other work (or if you just hate skulls) you should avail yourself of the prequel issue, which is free online through that Comixology thingy.

Tycho: The wardrums have already begun to pound, and if you are able to interpret the message encoded deep in their rhythm, you'll hear a tale of warriors - and their terrible battlegrounds.  The warriors I was referring to are: 1.       Will Atkinson 2.       Noah Callaway 3.       Richard Pastrick 4.       Joseph Berg 5.       Kellyn Wolff 6.       Matthew Senne 7.       Steven Schneider 8.       Andrew Thivyanathan 9.       Kirsten Mitchell 10.   Andrei Krotkov 11.   David Levin 12.   Bryce Patten 13.   Michael Bower 14.   Tom Loughead 15.   Eric Chon 16.   Deborah Davis 17.   Brandon Caroll 18.   Christopher McMahon 19.   Alan Dobler 20.   ??????????? And the blood-soaked battlegrounds being: Round 1: Zombie Dice Round 2: Bomberman Live Round 3: Beautiful Katamari Round 4: A MUSIC GAME ...

New Comic: Room 418

Tycho: We saw an incredible Craigslist ad when we were getting ready to write the strip, an ad which quickly became the strip we were trying to make. Another ad went up shortly thereafter, in response. Also good! This sort of thing happens in the margins of any con; the first of those, anyway. The second is more likely to be a PAX-specific phenomenon. In the periphery of any social gathering, tiny conventions are created and dissolved continuously. When my anonymity was better preserved, I could wander the halls of the attached hotels and bear witness to the full Venn Diagram ...
