Last Thursday Shawn Gaston and I got together with the guys at Fear the Boot and recorded an interview where we talked about the comic and what we are hoping to accomplish.
Also, I sat in on the second half of the most recent Fear the Boot episode, where we talked about the problems of introducing new players to large, complex game worlds.
Starcraft 2: Rush Analysis
I write a program to simulate different strategies in Starcraft 2, to see how they compare.
id Software Coding Style
When the source code for Doom 3 was released, we got a look at some of the style conventions used by the developers. Here I analyze this style and explain what it all means.
Was it a Hack?
A big chunk of the internet went down in October of 2016. What happened? Was it a hack?
The Biggest Game Ever

Yay! Another interview!
awesome
It’s not a comic, of course, but the Dead Gentlemen (http://www.deadgentlemen.com/) have made two movies called “The Gamers” which switch back and forth from seeing the players at the table to seeing in the game world. It’s a great technique and I look forward to seeing it in the new comic!
I’m assuming you mean “Fear the boot” =D
I assure you all that I sound like less of a tool in person. No, really.
What about, like. The last episode of DMotR?
GIVE IT!
darn, the final episode of the rings isn’t up yet. Guess I need to avoid being late to work …
Anyone else think Shamus sounds kinda like Wil Wheaton? I mean that in a good way of course! ;)
So is chainmail bikini basically just the people behind DMotR?
I had a blast listening to you guys on the way home from work yesterday, and I can’t wait to see how DMotR ends and Chainmail Bikini begins.
I love “The Gamers” (I have it on DVD). I’ve been meaning to pick up the sequel but I haven’t gotten around to it yet :)
