Prints

By Gabe – January 19, 2005

Thank you for mailing me and letting me know what you think of the prints. A few people had problems with bending during transit but Think Geek is taking care of those cases. Overall it seems like everyone was blown away by the print once they got it. Pictures really don't do it justice. The laser etching process gives the whole image a sort of glow that is really awesome. I'm really glad that everyone who got one is pleased with the final product. As always we learned a lot from this first limited edition print and we're going to change some things next time.

Addendum

By Tycho – January 19, 2005

I'm aware that Blizzard credited all accounts two days of free play because of this weekend's difficulties - and I appreciate it. I don't like saying mean things. On the other hand, I like to tell the truth. Sometimes those two drives conflict.

What do you think?

By Gabe – January 17, 2005

I always feel strange when I see the Evil Avatar has picked up something we said and is posting it as "news". I don't think of the stuff we post here as newsworthy.

I agree

By Gabe – January 17, 2005

I just wanted to say that I agree with Tycho on this one. My opinion is that WOW is the best MMO ever made. The problem is that I don't get to play it nearly as much as I'd like. I think it's important to note that the only reason we're so upset here is because we want so desperately to play Blizzard's awesome game. It's the fact that these server outages and crazy bugs are keeping us from their masterpiece that makes us so frustrated. Even when I am able to log in it's often the case that the terrible lag makes their game equally unplayable.

Cha Cha Cha Changes

By Tycho – January 17, 2005

There is apparently a new bot for Counter-Strike: Source coming out today, and we have created a preview which details its unique technology. As for the rest of the comic, I wish that it weren't but it's essentially true. My D&D playin' ways were responsible for everything from failed souffles to the dissolution of my family to problems of the ear, nose, and throat.

RE4

RE4

By Gabe – January 12, 2005

Well a game finally came out that was able to pull me away form World of Warcraft. KOTOR II wasn’t able to do it, even MechAssault 2 couldn’t hold my interest for more than a couple minutes. I had actually given up and resigned myself to the fact that WOW was the only game I’d ever play again. Then I picked up Resident Evil 4 yesterday and it got a fucking grip on me. Sweet Christ this game is incredible. I had planned on grabbing level 30 last night but I just couldn’t pull myself away from RE. It’s like it broke some kind of spell or something. At least now I’ll have something to do today while the WOW servers are down.

Myst V: The End Of Ages

By Tycho – January 12, 2005

Myst V was announced earlier today, but there was no information about who was developing it or what kind of technology it would use. Someone just shouted the word "Myst" and then scampered into a hedge.

A Potpourri

By Tycho – January 12, 2005

I saw these shots emerge from some kind of magazine scan a couple days ago, but if you crave unparalleled crispness and freshness from your Star Wars: Empire At War .jpgs, look no further. There is also an article that summarizes the known on the title, which admittedly ain't much.

Garrison Titan

One of the things on auction at the Child's Play dinner was an appearance in Penny Arcade, which - as it turns out - goes for about a thousand bucks. It's an insane number, and it might have made me feel weird if any of the money actually went to us, but it's true. It actually hit twelve hundred dollars if you can believe it, but someone in the audience had the idea that anyone who donated a thousand dollars to the cause could receive for their own the Gabriel Treatment. We've got a handful of those, and over the next few months we'll be getting to them all, including the erotic dynamos of Red vs Blue. I have some friends in a local Star Wars group that pooled their money, all nine of them, and it is our pleasure to recognize their contribution today.

Prints Are All Gone

By Tycho – January 11, 2005

We're sorry if you weren't able to get one, but yesterday we were trying to figure out what we'd do with all the ones that didn't sell. I'm sort of shocked.

they are going fast

By Gabe – January 11, 2005

I just wanted to let you all know that 270 of the prints have already been sold, so that means as of right now there are only 180 prints left. Think Geek tells us they expect them all to be gone by tomorrow. I hope that some of you will send me an email once you get your print and let me know what you think.

PRINTS!

By Gabe – January 10, 2005

Well it finally happened. The limited edition laser cut cells are now available for purchase at our store. We made five hundred of the Twisp and Catsby “Tea with the Moon” cells and we won’t be making anymore…ever. We might make more collectible cells but we’ll never print “Tea with the Moon” again. See that’s what makes it limited edition. Now we kept the first one for ourselves, I hope you don’t mind. Then we took numbers two through fifty and we are keeping those for conventions. That means if you want one of those you’ll need to come see us at the Emerald City comic-con. Numbers 51 through 500 are available for purchase online through our store, and the number you receive depends on how quickly you get over there and buy one. I’m telling you guys this is an honest to God collector’s item and when you get it you will be knocked on your ass by the quality. I mean check this shit out:
