DOUBLE EDIT:

I couldn't help myself. Here is my review of Yahtzee's review.

EDIT:

Oh man he totally called us out.

Hey people. I'm back from my week break in Majorca, a little sun burnt and covered in mosquito bites but otherwise well rested. I spent quite a lot of time lounging in the sun scribbling comic ideas down the first of which I today present for your consideration.

Diablo III

If I'm honest I never really played Diablo, this comic is really more representative of my brothers experiences. For a year or two in his youth he became painfully addicted. His room transformed into an off limits cavern, upon entering I would stumble over items before my eyes adjusted to the darkness, the only light in the room coming from his small PC monitor. Over time his hair grew past his shoulders, his facial hair rough and shaggy and his ability to communicate past grunts withered.

A year of rehab later and he was reconstituted into a relatively positive member of society. Now that they're dropping a shiny sequel, I fear the worst.

Spectacular Spider-Man

Over the weekend I became aware of a new Spider-Man animated series called Spectacular Spider-Man. I've downloaded a bunch of episodes and as an old Spidey fan I must say absolutely love it. Here is a trailer for those of you who have managed to miss it.

Now those of you who read regularly will know I work for an agency in London and the client I happen to look after is Activision, the suits that own the license to make games about Spider-Man. They are currently trying to guage the popularity of this series to decide whether or not to develop a game on this new cartoon. For the love of God YES! Please make it Cell-shaded please don't add waggle and please don't base it off the Friend or Foe engine.

If you are like me and would like to see this game come to fruition please sign the petition I have created to show Activision there is a market for the game should they build it.
