Dragon Age Inquisition is only weeks away, and Bioware has finally launched the open beta for the Dragon Age Keep. Unlike previous Bioware releases, Dragon Age Inquisition will not feature a save game import feature. At least, not in the traditional way. Instead of porting a save file over from Dragon Age 2 into Dragon Age Inquisition, players will establish their world state via the Keep, an online app that allows you to upload save games from previous Dragon Age releases, and tracks those decisions for later use in Inquisition. For those who may have not played previous entries in the Dragon Age saga, the Keep allows you to make choices and establish your in-universe continuity the way you would like to see it. Once you are satisfied with your world state, whether by uploading or customizing, you will then be able to transfer that data into Inquisition when it is released on November 19 th . The Keep seeks to solve two problems. The first is carrying over save files from o...

Last weekend, I was lucky enough to attend C2E2, Chicago’s coolest comic book convention.  Now, I love C2E2 and I try to visit it in some form every year.  Of course, my favorite part of any con is artist alley.  I love rubbing shoulders with fellow independent creators, making new contacts, and finding some hidden treasures.  This year, I found one such treasure.  That treasure is a science fiction graphic novel series called Runners. Runners is about a group of space aged smugglers, desperately trying to make a not so honest living in a not so honest galaxy.  The crew is made up of the gruff Captain Roka, his easily angered, yet pragmatic second in command Ril, the young recruit with a kick ass glowing arm, Bocce, the gleeful, gambling sharpshooter Cember, the enormous stone like warrior Bennesaud, and the amnesiac stowaway Sky.  Together, they try to make their way in the galaxy.  Sadly, they aren’t very good at it, because they cons...

Ah, San Diego Comic Con.  A veritable heaven to all nerds, geeks, cosplayers, and entertainment enthusiasts.  Every year, fanboys and fangirls from all walks of life gather for five days of celebrating everything pop culture.  Comic books, movies, video games, you name it, you can probably find it at Comic Con.  The preparations for one of the greatest entertainment expos on Earth (and other planets as well) should be bursting with feelings of excitement, not riddled with stress and confusion.  Comic Con decided to change that, and a lot of other things as well.  It was recently announced that SDCC would not only be raising the prices for their tickets, but will also no longer be offering weekend passes to the event. For the record, SDCC is one of the hardest conventions to get tickets to.  How hard, you may ask?  For last year's show, tickets sold out completely in approximately an hour and a half.  Yeah.  Tickets were sold out be...

Greetings internet!  It has been way too long.  I suppose I have a bit of explaining to do.  Yes, I have been gone a long time.  Considering the last post I made on this blog was over a year ago, and frankly, my posts prior to that were few and far between, I can imagine that many folks out there thought I was gone for good.  To be honest, I thought I was as well. You see, before I stopped writing, I had a bit of a... let's call it a "creative crisis."  My comic seemed to be withering into nothingness, my editing jobs had dried up, most of the contacts I had made all but disappeared, and I could no longer foresee a scenario where I could make any profit on my writing.  It wasn't long before my passion began to fade. I tried various other avenues of publishing my words, ones that would surely offer more money making potential.  However, as I began to dedicate all of my writing towards those newer, more lucrative endeavors, I had unintentiona...
