NHL Depot

February 15th, 2008

If you are like me (I really hope you are not in many ways) then you really get annoyed when EA games releases an NHL (for PC) game with lackluster jerseys and poor ass goalie masks… well that’s what NHL Depot is for.

NHL Depot is an online community that brings you skins for the actual masks and often better skins for the jerseys. Also if you are an Oilers fan and let’s say you manage to get the Kippersoff, you don’t want him wearing his Flames gear. You can come here and find a new mask that you may like. Or if you want to design it yourself you can get walkthroughs on how to load it and become a contributor yourself.

Oh yeah… remember how the lack luster Oilers uniforms the Edmonton fans were given… well I don’t have to look at them if I don’t want to in the game.

This is one of the many jersey packs that are avalilble for NHL 2008. One of my personal favorites is the white 3rd jersey at the bottom.

With that I’m done for now.

Webcomic Wednesday for Feb. 13th 2008

February 13th, 2008

This week’s webcomic is Ctrl-Alt-Del, I stumbled upon this comic a few years back and it got me hooked right away.

Tim Buckley originally based the characters off of himself and his friend… It has a great storyline and its secondary characters are funny and original. The comic itself is about video games, computers, dealing with stupid people… everything that I can relate to.

Ctrl-Alt-Del brought us the first gamer’s holiday… actually, let me re-phrase that… Ctrl-Alt-Del brought us a gamer’s week of holidays. Winter-een-Mas has been celebrated by me and my friends since its conception. It also more recently brought to us its own religion. If I had to choose between the Church of Scientology and the Church of Gaming, I choose the Church of Gaming.

Ctrl-Alt-Del has spawned the typical T-shirts, comic books, however it is also the first that I know of that has spawned an animated cartoon.

It has become one of my weekly reads and I highly recommend it for the gamey goodness.

Webcomic Wednesday for Feb. 6th 2008

February 6th, 2008

Webcomic Wednesday’s… umm… yeah I was bored or unable to sleep when I came up with this.

Anyhow, the very first “Webcomic Wednesday” goes to my good friend Tony Esteves with his comic “Cigarro and Cerveja”. The comic is about a cigarette smoking rabbit (Cigarro) and a beer drinking goose (Cerveja). It was a weekly, now daily, webcomic about the two and their “wacky” antics.

I actually met Tony and before I even knew about his comic… and even then I didn’t find out about his comic until a few months after meeting him. After I began reading his comic I had to go thru the archives of it… and after I finished reading all of them I wanted more.

BTW, if you already know about the comic and came to visit him at either the San Diego Comic-Con ’07 or at one of the Pop-Culture fairs in Edmonton, I would have the been the big asian guy sitting at the table with Tony.

The current incarnation of the C&C website is either the 3rd or 4th of its existence. It is also the second that I have had a hand in making.

This is a great read and the two books that Tony has released are well worth it.
