You see that second-to-last panel? Ken Kutaragi ACTUALLY SAID THAT. permalink | comments (0) WTF don't be a n00b Thu, Jul 28, 2005 4:00am EDT By RevolvingDork Regardless of the amount of sex, violence, and or drug use developers cram into their games, they will never attain the shock value that simply listening to other humans online provides. permalink | comments (0) Retooling Thu, Jul 21, 2005 4:00am EDT By RevolvingDork More game violence news oversaturation this week. It's starting to get *really* old. permalink | comments (0) Suspension of disbelief Thu, Jul 14, 2005 4:00am EDT By RevolvingDork Meteos is fairly awesome. It reminds me of my favorite puzzle game of all time, Tetris Attack, except you move blocks vertically rather than horizontally. Also, it involves a few more rockets. Moral of the story: Meteos is fantastic, and so is Yakov. permalink | comments (0) The most dangerous game Thu, Jul 07, 2005 4:00am EDT By RevolvingDork I'm more or less in the "swing" of writing new comics weekly. This one was inspired by an essay on game violence written by a former Columbine High School student. I think he missed the mark a bit, but there are some thought-provoking ideas in there. permalink | comments (0) The Best Guy Thu, Jun 30, 2005 4:00am EDT By RevolvingDork The first panel of this comic is pretty much an accurate transcription of an event that transpired two weeks ago. I haven't been able to move to the new host yet, so please bear with the service outages until I do. permalink | comments (0) A man's house is his castle Thu, Jun 23, 2005 4:00am EDT By RevolvingDork This comic was supposed to go up last night, but my host went down for *several hours*. I'm in the process of switching to a much more reliable host this week, so hopefully this sort of thing won't happen again. Apologies for missing an entry last week, work was killer. To compensate, this week's comic is long as hell. permalink | comments (0) TNT knows drama Thu, Jun 09, 2005 4:00am EDT By RevolvingDork Apologies for the strip's mild lateness, I've been working for 3 days straight. In the words of Haim, who is sitting right next to me: "I'm busy. More text later." permalink | comments (0) Let's play grown-up Tue, May 24, 2005 5:14pm EDT By RevolvingDork This one stems from the ceaseless arguments -- many occuring RIGHT NOW, AS YOU READ THIS -- about the merits of playing "mature" games over "kiddie" games. In site news: new webcomic link on the links page! permalink | comments (0) Couch shopping is hard Sat, May 14, 2005 5:14pm EDT By RevolvingDork After an extended hiatus, I'm updating the site again -- this time, with regularity. Here's the official announcement: New comics will be posted here EVERY THURSDAY. Though it is nearing completion, the process of settling into our new Philadelphia apartment has proven to be far more arduous than either me or Lara had originally conceived. I'm undecided on whether the procedure for purchasing a new couch suffers from 1.) a lack of planning on the part of retailers or 2.) an abundance of careful planning carried out by a twisted engineer of commerce who inexplicably despises all who desire to sit down comfortably. In gaming news: Hey, E3 was last week. Sony spent the bulk of their time hyping the next Playstation beyond the reaches of mortal man, as is their custom. Nintendo's plans for the future remain shrouded in a dark cloud of mystery, as is their custom. In a deviation from their (albeit short) console tradition, Microsoft revealed that their next console would be slightly smaller than the average microwave. Meanwhile, I found Star Wars Episode III so enjoyable that I went out and bought Rogue Squadron II for old time's sake. It is still very hard. permalink | comments (0) 2025 Chris Maguire
