So, what did we learn from RPS’s exciting visit to Valve yesterday? Some highlights:
Steamcloud was announced, which is an upcoming feature that will allow Steam to keep a copy of your game saves and personal configurations online. Nice. So, if you’re visiting your folks out of town, you’ll be able to download […]

RPS is having a visit at Valve HQ today and plan to do some liveblogging approximately… now. Get over there and get refreshin’!(corrected link)
Apparently, their main topic is going to be Steamworks, which is… I dunno, I’m sure it’s an amazing tool for those of you who release games, but I don’t release […]

It always starts the same way. You’ll be playing some TF2, everyone is being competitive, trying to win the round. Then, maybe a map comes around that no one really wants to play (knowing my friends, it’s 2Fort). Maybe a bunch of people all suddenly exit the server at once, leaving you […]

Yeah, I finally got off my butt and finished a post on Living In Oblivion.
Sorry it took so long, but it was a long string of game days where not much happened, and it was kind of hard to write about.  At any rate, the next three days of low adventure are up here.

I found Steel a couple months ago but it’s only recently I’ve been able to really play it with a large group, and it’s quickly become one of my favorites. You don’t see it on many servers, probably because it’s considerably more complicated than most maps, there’s a bit of a learning curve, and to […]

Achievementbox was created to help TF2 players with their medic achievements, which require them to reach a number of defined goals in order to unlock the alternate medic weapons. Either that, or a map-maker named Tom Achievement decided to make a very small, strange boxy CP map that just coincidentally addressed the current achievement […]

Anyone having problems with Steam this morning? Neither me nor my friend Joe can sign into Steam or reach their support page or forums.
This is what I get:

EDIT:  Looks like it’s back up and running again.

Well, there it is. Probably not a surprise to most, but I personally feel a bit let down.  I could easily list a bunch of lame and boring excuses and reasons why I don’t have a comic ready, so, I will.
1) I need to have it fully written before I even start.
With Concerned, I […]
