Today’s strip was another that I did live on Twitch. I happened to draw this one on Monday which is when Tycho and Ryan do their new Hearthstone stream. You can watch me do all the sketching and most of the inking in this one: Watch live video from on www.twitch.tv Then I took a break while they played some Hearthstone. The idea is that Ryan is teaching Tycho how to play Hearthstone and it must be working. I actually came in and challenged Tycho to try and win back control of the Twitch channel a little early but I got wrecked. Watch live video from on www.twitch.tv I ended up…

A lot of Virtual Reality games currently are essentially a cool interaction concept, unfettered by much of anything else. I don’t have a problem with this necessarily, because in some ways VR has made us all toddlers and we must learn to contend with our bodies all over again. It’s okay to start by playing with blocks; indeed, it’s traditional. There hasn’t been something like a Resident Evil, is what I’m trying to say. But there is one now, for better or for worse, and you can grab the demo whether you have VR or not. This kind of money…

Just wanted to get this out there: this is your last, last, LAST opportunity to grab tickets for Thursday night’s dinner - either for yourself and a friend, or to sponsor a table and make it a company event. It’s rad every time, and we’d love to see you there! (CW)TB

In order to fully grasp the sociopolitical texture of Final Fantasy XV, it’s probably important to watch the movie. And maybe the anime. I didn’t do those things. I just jumped in with both feet into what feels like a Final Fantasy MMO for the most part, but… I think I’m okay with that. I’m at least ten hours okay with it, judging by the weekend. Big takeaways: This game has meticulous, overwhelming, almost pornographic 3d models of food. And, It’s a world where people have swords AND cars AND cellphones. Gabe wondered…

We’ve been Twitching constantly lately, but we’ve also been streaming games and other stuff from the office. I’m hooked on it. Wild dogs couldn’t drag me away. Well, they probably could. I guess it depends on how many wild dogs. In truth, any value for wildDogs over 1 is probably a deal breaker. But I do like hanging out on there, and hopefully it provides some subtle nutrient for those who gather there. We’ve played Shadow of Mordor: Game of the Year Edition (GOTYE…?) the last couple times. It’s not new or…

My affection for beasts is well known; gaze ye upon my archive, and despair. So it should be no surprise that I also love Fantastic Beasts. And because I love them, Grobb Salad cannot. That’s just how it is. He didn’t understand that this was the start of a planned series of films; that might have soothed him somewhat. As a single movie, maybe it don’t work so good. Maybe there’s too much scaffolding. For my part, I would accept a reading that either makes the film a scaffold or a substrate. I eventually just stopped watching…

I’m really starting to dig these live drawing streams. The chat has been fun and it’s nice having some company while I draw. If you’d like to join one of the live streams, I do them Tuesday mornings at 10:00am PST for now. Yesterday was a fun one as I was drawing while at the same time trying to manage our new puppy. This is Gracie and yesterday during the stream she made it very difficult to draw. "A house is not a home without a dog". This is our new pup Gracie. She is very soft. pic.twitter.com/4wNgY5EvoV— Gabe (@cwgabriel) November 29, 2016 At the request of the…

You might recall when I said we were doing that a couple days ago - well, we’re still doing it, at 3:30 PST. That’s what’s happening! In the meantime, our longtime foes Team Secret Hitler have amassed a substantial war chest that allows them to apply a debuff to our own team, one that makes us all play as Soldier 76. Which I’m completely fine with, as I said before. I’m not the least bit intimidated by the satanic Max Temkin, nor am I diminished in valor by his howling, inhuman compatriots - the ones they call “Devil…

Brenna did, in fact, sign us up for dick school. And it was probably a good idea; what we learned in the first fifteen minutes of class was that none of our parents ever told us shit. And who knows; maybe we would have maintained that policy. I’d like to think I’d do better, and I should; I have twice the experience. The course is called “Great Conversations,” a title at which the boy scoffed. He had low expectations re: conversation quality. He did grow still a little later, though, which I knew was my cue to “lean in” and…

Our Gabriel has a reputation as a cruel but ultimately still cruel slash malevolent trainer of Pokemon. Without going into a tremendous amount of detail, you know, it’s a policy he’s retained. Last night after I retired to my study, I felt myself drawn to a curious volume I’d secured in a lot of books at auction - a box of tomes from the Eberhard estate. I knew more than most about that troubled clan, in particular the appetite of their patriarch Ubel Eberhard for unseemly or forbidden texts. The Codex Coupons or “Book of Savings” as it was…

Our good friend Pat Rothfuss, also known as The Name Of The Wind Guy, or perhaps even the swashbuckling sub-employee sellsword Viari of Acquisitions Incorporated, is spinning up an Overwatch competition for his Worldbuilders charity. Their mission is to channel as much money as possible into Heifer International and Mercy Corps, and we’re gonna help ‘em do it. Our battle-tested Overwatch crew is essentially a monster cobbled together from the haunted limbs of our Overwatch: For the Watch teams, and every unnatural angle of it is designed to inspire terror in the foe. …

People sometimes ask if Kara and Brenna hang out. And then Gabriel and I laugh and laugh, but nobody knows why. I can tell you in confidence that the reason we laugh is because almost everything about them is different. And it’s like, well, have you seen a circle? Yeah. How about a square? The box-looking thing, yeah. Okay. Well, it’s that level of different. They get along very well, all things considered, and better than ever recently. We’re keeping our eye on this phenomena. But there isn’t a lot of…

I really am hooked on Shadow of Mordor again. The graphic bump you get with the PS4 Pro makes it look fantastic. I think the plan is to play it on Twitch this afternoon. You might try tuning in around 2:00pm PST if you want to see us disembowel some orcs. Speaking of Twitch, I did another drawing stream yesterday. If you’d like to see how today’s strip came together you can watch it right here: Watch live video from on www.twitch.tv I ended up incorporating some ideas from the chat channel into the strip this time. By the end of the stream I had turned on the mic and we were…
