Heads up.
Wednesday is a holiday. I’m going to be goofing around instead of spending time on the website. DMotR will resume on Friday.
Quakecon 2012 Annotated
An interesting but technically dense talk about gaming technology. I translate it for the non-coders.
What is Vulkan?
What is this Vulkan stuff? A graphics engine? A game engine? A new flavor of breakfast cereal? And how is it supposed to make PC games better?
Project Button Masher
I teach myself music composition by imitating the style of various videogame soundtracks. How did it turn out? Listen for yourself.
Gamers Aren’t Toxic
This is a horrible narrative that undermines the hobby through crass stereotypes. The hobby is vast, gamers come from all walks of life, and you shouldn't judge ANY group by its worst members.
D&D Campaign
WAY back in 2005, I wrote about a D&D campaign I was running. The campaign is still there, in the bottom-most strata of the archives.
Have fun on your 4th. Looking forward to the next strip.
have a good one on yer American holiday,
Greetings from yer neighbour to the north,
Captain Curran of the Country Canada.
Happy goofing!
I look forward to Friday.
Then we’re even- ‘cos I won’t be checking your site come the 4th! Happy fireworks in advance, though.
Back in May, you chose to skip a day as well, to give time to make a better strip on the following Friday. Instead, you made a single image frame with something quite funny:

Maybe you could whip up a similar, one-frame scene to appease the masses on July 4th – Of course, it should have something to do with Gandalf’s fireworks :)
Give us the fireworks, Gandalf, fireworks!
…
Fireworks…?
Gandalf…?
…
(young Hobbits turn away in disappointment)
Take the day off and go see the new Transformers movie (if you haven’t already). I would rate it nearly a 9/10
Boy! If we can’t have DMotR on Independence Day, then the terrorists have won!
