Well 'Days Gone' is a bit of a bummer. It can be fun and interesting, but only for maybe five hours or so. The bit showed off in the E3 demos, the massive hordes of "Freakers" is still pretty cool, and the game's best/most unique feature, but they're actually few and far between. Otherwise I found the game mostly leans hard into some old open-world content treadmills like "communities" that are just chore farms, repetitive missions just in different locations (like EVERY generator thingy in t...

Ask Chef Brian #31
That's all he wrote, folks. As I mentioned some months ago, I am going to be retiring Chef Brian for the time being. As fun as he is, the patron tier is not performing well enough, and my efforts would be better focused on other project.
Perhaps someday the Chef will return in some capacity, but as of next month this tier will be kaput! Thank you all for supporting a great run of 31 brand new Chef Brian strips, and for your questions and participation in the weirdness!

The launch of Battlefront 2 with its loot box progression was PR nightmare that I'm sure none of us have forgotten, least of all EA. They finally pushed the community just a little bit too far, and the blowback was enormous; a response from an EA employee became the most downvoted Reddit post in history, the launch of the game was a mess as EA hacked away, disabled and removed things from the game in a panic to stem the hatred flowing their way, and there are rumors Disney even s...

Well I certainly did not expect to spend the week on this topic. Since Monday I have read a lot of opinions and viewpoints on the EGS, the effects of exclusives both economic and perceived, countless arguments over who's right and who's wrong, Steam vs Origin, vs Uplay vs BattleNET vs EGS, etc...
I resisted adding PCs to the console wars for a long time, specifically because they are not consoles. And in that time, I got a lot of comments along the lines o...

Console War, page 65.
There goes the neighborhood.

I want to like the Epic Games Launcher.
I want to like it because I want developers to earn more money from their games, and Epic takes a significantly lower cut than Steam. I also think it would be healthy for Steam to have some real competition.
I want to like the Epic launcher for these reasons... but I don't like the way they're doing business otherwise.
Setting aside the rumors that the launcher is spyware (I've seen the evidence,...

Don't mind me, I'm just over here confusing the shit out of my kids.

I feel like Outward is getting criminally little attention, but I've been enjoying the hell out of it. It's a survival fantasy RPG with co-op, and I love the harshness of the world. You're not the offspring of a dragon, or part of a long lost lineage of heroes... you're not "the one." You're just a person. And you set out for adventure to see what you can make of yourself.
I really en...

So for the past week or two, I've been uploading comics for my $3+ Patrons at a higher resolution than I put on the website.
No one's said anything, so I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but... has anyone noticed? XD Is it a good thing? Do you feel like higher resolution images are a nice perk to being a Patron, or is it a sort of "meh" subject?
Ask Chef Brian #30
Just a heads up, next month (April) will be the last Ask Chef Brian comic for a little while. I'm going to retire the tier for a bit. I'm starting to feel a little burnt out from my workload, and I need to make some changes to focus on which comics are post important, and to be frank, I don't feel that Chef Brian drives enough pledges to justify it.
Hopefully this isn't the end of Chef Brian as a whole, and I'll find a way to bring him back in some capacity in the future!

Or I dunno, maybe this one. You guys vote, whichever comic has more likes by tomorrow morning will be tomorrow's comic.

I have seen a LOT of cringy game panels, but last Thursday's Gearbox panel may take the crown for the biggest trainwreck in a single developer's panel ever.

March Patron Wallpaper
Been doing some work on the Starcaster collection, and so this month I'm sharing with you a bit of the concept art/lore info sort of stuff that will be in the book, fleshing out the universe where the story takes place.
The wallpaper features the three species of Humans, and there's a bonus page with an overview of the armed forces branches of the United Federation.
