We just got the table assignments for SPX and this is where we will be. If you don’t know SPX is one of, if not the largest, indy comic book conventions in the country. It’s on September 10th & 11th and is being held in Bethesda, MD. If you’re free that weekend or will be around it’s totally worth stopping by.
Before I review ” “Dead Rising 2: Case Zero,” let me explain what it is. It’s a 400 point download that is supposed to serve as a bridge between the first and second “Dead Rising” games. It’s more or less a glorified demo, but it’s so much more. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
All in all, The Baltimore Comic-Con was a great show. Saturday was intense. I’ve been going to the convention for eight or nine years now and it was the most packed I’ve ever seen it. Plus it’s really become a fun show that in a lot of ways is more for the creators.
It’s more chill than SDCC or NYCC but it’s still a big show with a high quality guest list. (That’s the Th3rd World booth pictured above with co-publisher Jon Conkling). ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Microsoft made a huge amount of profit from Xbox Live! last year, I can’t remember the number off the top of my head but it was released sometime this summer. So what do they do? They raise the freaking subscription from $49.99 to $59.99. As an adult, $10 really isn’t a big deal, but it’s still annoying. Here is the full announcement.
I want “Portal 2″ NOW!
OH heck yeah! I got these in the mail from the penclier on “Holiday Wars.” They are sketch cards we are going to sell this weekend at the Baltimore Comic Con and they are amazing. I want to frame them and keep them all to myself.
We only have a limited number for Baltimore, so if you want one you need to make sure you find me ASAP at the convention. I’ll be at the Th3rd World booth! I’m heading out today so the blog will be quiet until I get back (don’t worry, “Holiday Wars” will auto-post at it’s usually scheduled time). Hopefully though I’ll see/meet a lot of you over the weekend.
If there is anyone with a blog who wants to help spread the word about “Holiday Wars,” I’ll mail you a bookmark! Simply do a short plug/write-up and then email me a link with the address you want me to mail the bookmark to (you can get my email address by clicking the “contact” button on the menu bar). If you need any banners, ads, or promo art, let me know!
The “Scott Pilgrim” game is way too hard & has clunky controls. I understand that the game in design is supposed to be retro beat-um up, but that doesn’t mean the entire game from start to finish needs to feel dated. Look at “Castle Crashers” it managed a retro feel, while still feeling slick and modern.
