Interviews & Dead Mice
TCAF kept us busy. The Wife was supposed to go down and do illustrations for kids at the request of Owl Magazine for whom she’s heavily contributed illustrations. I had to go down to interview Scott Campbell. Not a house-hold name, but anyone that’s played Psychonauts or Brutal Legend has Scott to blame for the [...]
Comics & Games
Gaming and other writing temporarily broken up helping out Sonny Liew with some editing on additions to Liquid City: Volume 2, the second in the anthology series that The Wife and I contributed to. Meanwhile The Wife is busy churning out visuals for our own contribution to this book.
Faint Ray Of Hope
I just saw the trailer for The Watchmen. The movie itself could still reach inconceivable levels of suck-age.

What started out just being a run for a carton of milk ended up being a pleasant afternoon on Bloor, a chance to finally try out a Fish n’ Chips place we’d been trying to eat at for over a year, a visit to the art store for the Wife’s supplies, a [...]

The Haul
It being my birthday and all, I got Stuff. I also met up with the Best Friend and the Math Genius for dinner, which was a very surreal thing. I think the last time I met up with those two in such a capacity, we were all in university, getting [...]
Comics & RPGs
Final Fantasy IX was finally finished last night. Wow, that only took eight years…
I liked it, and enjoyed it, but not as much as other FF games in the series. Hironobu Sakaguchi, the creator of the series, called it his favorite in the series, and in some ways, it does feel [...]
Wow
Today ended up being another run to the art supply store on Queen Street West (where we saw the fringes of the fire) and while in that part of town, I decided it was time to indulge in more comic book-ery. I’d heard many, many, MANY good things about The New Frontier and had [...]
Another Low Grade Work Day
Finished up a comic script, started on another article for GameAxis. That’s about it…
