Today on Bit-play!

K-Dog's Raves

So TechTV was bought out and is now merging with G4. Hopefully we’ll be getting a LOT better shows MORE often instead of the same 5 shows being run throughout the day. I recently sat down and watched G4 this past weekend and can say portal is horrible, icons is cool, and Arena [...]

I’ve got Sunshine

Comics

I didn’t get an April fools joke done this year. Just this comic instead.
There’s not much going on in the world of video games lately. Final Fantasy XI was released for the PS2, though I don’t know why anyone would want to pay $100 to play a game that’s already been out for the PC [...]

Microsoft Cancels Sports Titles

Video Game News

In this surprising article from IGN, Microsoft announces that they are taking a year off from all of their sports titles. Of course I’m skeptical about any news I read around April 1st but this one looks real. The article says that they recognize their games aren’t as good as EA or Sega Sports. I [...]

Geeklier than Thou

Comics

Here’s a comic. There really isn’t any news to go along with this.

Guest Comic - Cassadi

I didn’t get home till after midnight last night but Cassadi came through and made a guest comic!

University of Findlay Q&A

Site News

I forgot to mention it earlier but I will be particpating in a Q&A at the University of Findlay Thursday night. Unfortunately the topic has nothing to do with “guys who rock at web comics” but instead it is about getting a career in Technology Management. I hope I can still make it entertaining, and [...]

USB Headset Required

Comics

Today’s comic is actually about a video game.
Last weekend I got a chance to see a sneak preview of Jersey Girl. The movie is really really good. Even George Carlin does a good job playing a likeable character. I highly recommend this movie to anyone, even girls and old people will like it. In other [...]

Global Obsession

General News

This groundbreaking special offers rare glimpses into the minds of Nolan Bushnell (former CEO of ATARI) and PONG game designer Seamus Blackley. VGO dissects the obsession that became a corporate competition and eventually a million dollar phenomenon. From the bouncing white box to Xbox, the games play on & on.

The Game Show Network is showing [...]

Bitsmackers 3.0

Comics

3.0? Ok, maybe more like 2.1.
After finally switching to the eMac for my main machine, Goz convinced me to switch to Flash for my comic. I mean, if it’s good enough for Joe & Benji or whatever those guys names are, it must be good enough for me. I am still getting the hang of [...]

Morning Commute

Comics

So I guess Goz is too cool to put a news post with his comic.
The regular comic is going through some changes. No not puberty. Stay tuned.
