Was it really 10 years ago that I tried my hand at a serious sci-fi mecha comic? Mech Skin Enceladus was that thing.

It'll be interesting to see what they announce either way.

"play your Xbox and PC games"... it's just going to be a streaming box, isn't it? I mean, just look at how they've been marketing Xbox for the last year.

Why didn't anyone tell me that you can buy Jolt Cola in Australia again?

Speakers are down to a usb mini plug getting messed up. I decided to order a nice set of bookshelf speakers as a birthday present for myself. My brother has been on my back for years to get a decent set. He's right and now is the right time to do it.

Spent half of today trying to work out why my speakers were playing up and the other half rewriting code for the Gunwale dialogs - only to spend ages trying to find a bug that I eventually traced back to old data.

You ever have those days when gravity just feels... too much?

They probably do, but that's stuff that I get around to when there's actually gameplay involved.

Just new versions because I like designing stuff :)

For a game about furry critters, I sure did manage to squeeze in a lot of mechs into TY.

It was a fun challenge designing them to fit the odd cartoony proportions but still make them look like cool tech and yet still clunky.

I was there! TGS fall 2001.

Man, I miss the early 2000s Tokyo Game Shows; they were awesome.

Looks like I'm going to get a perfect view of tonight's eclipse directly from my desk here.

Unless you want to play the Japanese version that comes on the PC Engine mini?

Maeve Drake sits in the foreground rubble sporting a green mohawk ( It was the 80s) while her mecha, Hedrax, stands in the background.

It's March, so it's time for mechs! Here's where it all began for me, my first published comic from '88 - Hedrax. Original comic cover on the left and a new piece I did about 15 years ago on the right. I got better.
