Mike Wieringo

August 13, 2007 by Bartoneus

I am utterly blown away right now. Mike Wieringo passed away yesterday of a heart attack at the age of 44. Mike was an amazingly talented artist who worked on a lot of comcis for Marvel, no matter what he did he was top notch calibur all the way. It just floors me that a […]

Nerd News Update 8/8/07

August 8, 2007 by Bartoneus

There is a Warcraft Movie Blog, and it has some psuedo-news gathered through what I assume was some form of scrying or dark ritual performed at Blizzcon.  Today at BlizzCon 2007 we have heard our first solid and interesting information with regards to the Warcraft, or to some, the World of Warcraft Movie. This movie […]

Inq. of the Week: Vacation

August 6, 2007 by Bartoneus

Last week’s awesome list of announcements from Comic-con definitely got me excited, and it looks like the announcement of new Futurama episodes is what gets the most of you going as well.  The Dark Knight teaser was great to listen to but lacking in any sort of visual content other then the logo, and I […]

Survival Guide to Florida

August 1, 2007 by Bartoneus

I apologize for my absence, I’ve been spending the whole week knee-deep in putrid water being eaten alive by the most vicious bugs since the plagues. At least that’s how I imagined Florida would be, even though I’ve been here many times before every time I anticipate the trip I cannot help but return to […]

Helpful Tips from Bloggers for Bloggers

July 25, 2007 by Bartoneus

I don’t think we’ve ever actually done one of these “meme”s before, but SciFiChick tagged us and we’re not the types to just let that fly by.  It doesn’t hurt that the meme is actually about tips on blogging and it’s created by bloggers as they pass them on.   In essence, I like it because it […]

Inq. of the Week: Comics

July 16, 2007 by Bartoneus

Dave asked everyone last week what you thought of Game Awards and it looks like the majority (26%) never even look at them, with the next largest group (23%) seeing awards sometimes but not caring who wins.  I fall mostly into the latter group as I never really care much who has won the award, but […]

A Journey Through Sci-Fi

July 5, 2007 by Bartoneus

I noticed today that Rotten Tomatoes has put up a list of their highest rated top 100 Science Fiction Movies of all time.  If you’ve never been to RT, it is a really nice site that congregates every critic’s opinion/review of a movie and gives them all equal share in the movie’s score.  They then […]

Flog the Horse Once More

July 1, 2007 by Bartoneus

So apparently the back of my head made it onto Kotaku, from the auditorium at the Fallout 3 Press Event: Is this a benevolence beyond all recognition, or is it an evil that will never wash off?

Fallout 3: Developer Q & A with the Press (Part 2)

July 1, 2007 by Bartoneus

(Continued from Part 1- be sure to have read that first!) Q: Will there be character titles that you gain from certain actions / quests? (Like “Destroyer of Worlds”) A: Yes, there will be titles related to your level and your alignment on the sliding scale of Karma/Reputation. Q: How is the AI different from […]

Fallout 3: Developer Q & A with the Press (Part 1)

July 1, 2007 by Bartoneus

After seeing the demo at the press event, and after an excellent lunch, we were brought back into the theater to have an extended Q & A session with Todd Howard, Emil Pagliarulo, and Pete Hines. These questions were all asked by various members of the press who attended, and I have absolutely no idea […]
