04.25My Work Has A Blog
And possibly a flavor. Check out the blog at Powerheadgames.com for occasional updates from our midtown Chelsea-based headquarters. And yes, Formal Fridays. It is my gift to this world.
New Comics Are Expensive is up at Occasional Superheroine, this time talking up the first issue of the new limited series from Oni’s demon-y Noir The Damned and the first book of Dark Horse’s Scarlet Traces, a sequel of sorts to H.G. Wells’ War of The Worlds. Good times abound.
I wasn’t ready for Comic Con. I realize that now. Not enough money, not enough sleep beforehand or during, and not nearly enough booze on hand to deal with the sensory overload (though the overpriced food court selling little bottles of wine certainly helped). What I did have was, in hindsight, less of plan and [...]

Thanks to the wonders of WordPress plugins, everything posted here will also be sent to my poor unused LiveJournal (found here). If you have one of the things, drop me a friending or whatever it is you kids do.

Though it turns out that having your stomach twist itself into interesting new shapes and reading a modern Jeph Loeb comic feel similar enough that it’s hard to tell the [...]
After yesterday’s post about my issues with the Grand Theft Auto series and wondering aloud what sort of plans Rockstar had for how players can interact with the rather beautiful version of New York City they’ve created in the next installment, it was rather helpful to read to the end of Edge’s monstrous cover feature [...]
Grand Theft Auto IV is out at the end of the month. Easily one of the most anticipated games in essentially ever, several stores are already groaning under the weight of pre-orders while still doing everything they can to bring in more. The inevitable backlash against the game hasn’t quite started yet, but it’s not [...]
