NPC Comic

Bioware recently announced a launch date for Star Wars: The Old Republic, its highly anticipated MMO. Dec 20 for North America, Dec 22 for Europe. Looks like launch dates elsewhere remain in the dark. So what do you think? Are you jumping in? Wait and see? Sworn off of MMO’s? I’m a wait-and-see gal myself. [...]

I just discovered these lovely animated shorts set to recordings of people talking about their missed 9/11 victims and other cool Americans. I embedded a couple below. More great ones on their site.      

  Hey, there’s a blue bitizen who looks familiar! Tiny Tower is one of those games I’m not really sure I can recommend despite the fact that I’m obsessed with it. It’s an adorable and addictive free iOS game. But there’s not much to it. You build a tower composed of stores and residencies. Bitizens move [...]

Gamer Demographics If you read NPC, you probably already know that more adults and females play video games than is generally thought by mainstream society.

I wonder what Bink would think of this cat video….Entertaining AND proof of smarts! I think he’d approve? More sketch previews when I get my buffer back up.

I don’t even really watch Smallville, but I’m a little sad about the finale tonight. It’s the end of an era. John, my boyfriend, hasn’t missed an episode, and I used to watch it with him. It was with us when we first met in 2002 and when we moved into our old apartment together. [...]

A couple people sent me this video today and I couldn’t resist posting it. It reminds me a little of the first NPC comic. Except instead of explaining what she did all weekend, she has to fess up to why she can’t join her friend that evening. Have you ever explained to someone that you [...]

Things that have been occupying my mind time since I got back from Iceland! Well, besides work and comics. First, the timely thing: Chu Chu Rocket is an old fun puzzle Dreamcast game and it’s free today for iPhone/iPod Touch! I never played the original but had heard a lot about it. I downloaded it [...]

First: My thoughts are with those affected by the tsunami. I’m still having trouble comprehending it all. American Red Cross has a special fund for it now if you care to donate. And now: I’m heading to PAX East tonight for fun and games. Just to attend, not to exhibit. Say hi if you see [...]
