The fourth installment of Comics Are Expensive is up this week, bringing with it thoughts on the new Jeff Smith and Mark Millar books and the end of one of the smarter comics around. Thanks as always to Occasional Superheroine Val for letting me shout from her soapbox.
A bit brief this week – the gaming world is still gentle rocking in the wake of GDC, with the only big news people are talking about being EA’s attempted buyout of Take-Two. Luckily, there are still a few things not involving stock prices and alleged shadiness, so shall we? First, Andy Biao of waxy.org [...]
Busy week this time around, with more than I could actually afford to bring home. I’m starting to think I need to take a moment to assess the books I’m reading issue by issue to get a better idea of what I desperately need to read the moment it arrives and what can wait to [...]
Iron Dukes is the sort of game people get into the industry with the hope of one day making. Specifically, people like Darren Koepp and Tynan Wales, two veterans of the gaming world who struck off on their own to found One Ton Ghost in order to, in their words, “make a game without any [...]
The new edition of Comics Are Expensive is up, covering the concentrated dose of awesome that was this week’s comic purchases.

A rather light week at the comic shop this week, with only a handful of things I really had to have. The $25 price tag on the first volume of Sinestro Corps proved to be something of a mixed blessing – while pushing the hardcover out of my budget, it left enough room for volume [...]
Via Kotaku, Official Xbox Magazine has a Q&A up with Nour Polloni, producer on the newest Alone in the Dark game for the PC, 360, and PS3 (and possibly the Wii as well). While most of it is the standard “you’ve never seen anything like this” talk expected from any sort of interview with the [...]
Doing a bit of blog maintenance while putting off actual work, it appears that, rather than being swallowed up by the gaping maul of the interwubs, the lost Link Roundup from a couple of weeks ago was actually saved and buried in my draft posts. No idea how, or why it ended up in a [...]
02.19Monday Flash?
After missing last night’s (somewhat) traditional Monday Flash post due to being completely exhausted, my original plan was to make it up today.
