I wear a necklace with a small brown rock on it. When people ask about it, I tell them it’s from the top of a mountain that my father and I climb “every few years.”
But we recently realized we hadn’t climbed Mount Chocorua in nearly ten years. The last time we went up, I had [...]
For whatever reason, at this point I abandoned the storyline I started in the previous strips to do a more “classic” one. That is, this strip is what can be considered the archetypal Roundhead strip. I believe this one was titled “Roundhead: The Special Edition,” hence the unnecessary appearance by Yoda.
Roundhead #5
As anyone who’s been paying any attention to this blog knows, I’m pretty excited about Halo 3. A few weeks ago, my wonderful girlfriend DG got me my very own copy of Crackdown, which included access to the Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta (fortunately, Crackdown is a great game too—you can read my review of it [...]
A creepy metafictional ad campaign for Gotham City DA Harvey Dent has given us the first official image of the Joker from The Dark Knight.
Based just on the picture, I’m guessing Nolan is going for a realistic, serial-killer Joker, rather than the cartoon villain portrayed by Nicholson. And I’m on board. Even in his first [...]
In today’s strip, Roundhead and Bob drag Roundhead’s damned arch-nemesis, “Mr. Z,” out of hell so he can once again be a foil for our heroes. But things don’t turn out quite as planned. You can see I’ve started to play with action and perspectives a bit more.
Roundhead #4
Some friends of mine made a short film a while back called “Rise and Shine.” It was short enough that I suggested (in August, I think) that they put it on YouTube.
At long last, they took my advice.
Rise and Shine
Well, they finally got it working. As expected, they tacked on more time (four extra days) to the Beta to make up for the errors.
I’ve downloaded the client but haven’t had a chance to play yet. I’ll probably toss up a few comments over the weekend after I’ve had my butt sorely kicked by the [...]
In my review of Crackdown, I mentioned that a big part of my reason for wanting the game was the access to the Halo 3 multiplayer beta test. As such, I was pretty excited to give it a try this morning before work.
No dice. Looks like there was a glitch in the servers; as of [...]
Nearly a week into the new design and I’ve put up a single post. Tch—typical.
I’ve decided once I’m done with the editing, I’ll post The Wanderer here on the website. There are a few good reasons for this. One, it’s a novella, which is a notoriously difficult genre to sell. Second, it’s a fairly straightforward [...]
Welcome to the new Biggerboat!
Yes, a redesign has been going on in secret for a few weeks now. All the work was done by Sean, who also designed The Ed Zone. When we tried to go live yesterday and discovered that the new design didn’t want to work with MovableType, Sean buckled down and transferred [...]
