Put Down The Screwdriver

By Tycho – August 27, 2003

Gabriel is now trying his hand at the Modder's art, which has not been met with universal enthusiasm. For my part, I already practically run a home for machines he abuses, and that was before he started trying to pimp them out with hydraulics or Dremel the Tasmanian Devil on the side.

How Could They Do Such A Thing

By Tycho – August 25, 2003

Humans are so mad right now, mad that Nintendo is making them buy a GameBoy Advance in order to play Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles. As today's comic makes so plain, Nintendo's treachery leaps straight over garden variety malice and might even be called a vendetta.

Jesus

Wow. I don’t know what to say. You guys seem determined to hate this game.

FF:CC

By Gabe – August 23, 2003

I have been meaning to talk about Crystal Chronicles for a while now but I’ve just been playing it instead. I took a break to check out some forums and get some tips when I saw this post:

Yeah

I think it’s fake. I’d say it’s a publicity stunt. The company that made all the videos and the website does some bad ass work. My guess is that this is their way of getting their name out. I mean come on, first they miss E3, then they miss GDC and the fucking thing is called the Phantom for Christ’s sake.

Oh, Right

By Tycho – August 22, 2003

It really comes down to this: is it a hoax, or are the forces involved in making this system absolutely inept? I'd call that six of one or a half dozen of the other.

You know.

By Gabe – August 22, 2003

The whole thing we talked about with the Phantom and all that.

Um

By Tycho – August 22, 2003

Can you be more specific?

Hey Tycho...

By Gabe – August 22, 2003

Weren’t you gonna talk about that thing, you know with the guy?

Not Just For Cows

By Tycho – August 22, 2003

It's now 4:13 in the morning. I got home at about eleven o'clock and starting moving my mail over to Thunderbird, the Mozilla mail component that Scott said Gary said had nice spam filtering. I imported my old mail into it for some reason, to accelerate my hair loss I think, but I've trained it like a faithful pup to ferret out spam and viruses from of a sample of fourteen thousand hand-flagged mails. I am at the point where coffee just makes my teeth vibrate.

Halo Tournament

By Tycho – August 21, 2003

Whatever you're doing this Saturday isn't as important as our Halo Tournament. Just cancel it. We're digging out art from old strips to sweeten the deal for the winners, and, we'll also have a circus or a dolphin or whatever you like best.

Do You Know What I Like?

By Tycho – August 21, 2003

I like it when I refresh my mail and get 1300 - thirteeen hundred - viruses.

I Hate The Stupid Phantom

By Tycho – August 20, 2003

We have been called upon to comment on that stupid Phantom console once already, but with a glitzy new video available at the machine's homepage readers let us know that our services were required. Still no actual pictures of the device, just that same case render which makes the Xbox look svelte by comparison. Then there's the matter of the specifications they claim, the best of everything basically, which makes it the Fable of the console world - just say with enthusiasm that it has whatever a person asks about.

Romance Of The Three Kingdoms

By Tycho – August 18, 2003

Give it another shot. I was seriously considering returning it when I got it, but here I am talking to you now on 3 hours sleep because I stayed up until 6 this morning playing it. Threre are a variety of ways to play through it, so try to be an ordinary officer and try to climb the political and military ranks. That's what I'm having the most fun with.
