As the entire world coos over Dark Knight and the ubernurd festivities of Comic-Con, we’re more worried about this piece of news. While we’re sure that the studio that brought you two games about deadly chimichangas will do a fantastic job with the Watchmen games… we’re not so sure how the series’ creator will [...]
Everyone has their own theory about what exactly caused Microsoft pull the announcement of the assumed next Halo game, which forced Bungie to cancel their cute little countdown. Well I can’t speak affirmatively on the subject, but let’s just say our theory made too much sense to not post. So, nice one… I [...]
We’re really not sure what all the “controversy” is surrounding Fat Princess. We think it looks pretty straightforward, and a bit on the fun side to boot. But hey, we really do wonder what the thought process was when coming up with the game concept.
We’re guessing it came from late night crunch experiences.
Fantasy vs. Reality makes a comeback this week, where we imagine what it might be like to be a millionaire game developer, and then remember what it’s like for the rest of us.

We really must apologize for the lateness of this week’s strip. We’ve been a bit tied up what with work, real-life, and yes games. It’s amazing how much of your life you can waste away on the little stuff. I’d love to blame it on the release of the megahit-to-be, Spore… but [...]
For the past five years, I’ve been trying to play one kind of game with this friend of mine online. Every year, the new game version comes out, and almost every year, I make an attempt to hook up with this friend and get a game on. And every time I try, I’m [...]
Most game developers wince when asked what they do for a living… at least a little. This totally true story is just one of the reasons why. I’m sure the kid meant well, but I couldn’t help but feel… well… yeah.
We are deeply saddened to hear that Microsoft is closing down Ensemble. Not only did Ensemble make awesome games, but it’s also home to some of our favorite game designers. We’re sure these talented folks will land on their feet elsewhere, but our hearts go out to them and their families.
Of course we’re [...]
