So, this is a trailer for a thing I wrote. Zack and his crew put it together.

That’s not exactly the cutting edge of gaming news, but it does look pretty cool. Sign up to their forum to register for the beta! Whenever that is.

We had a great time at NYCC. Sold out of Robo Saturday, brought in more Sunday, and then sold out again half way through the day. You guys are amazing. Can’t wait to get back to the Windy Apple next year.

Our next show is the North Carolina Comicon.

Hope to see you there!

In the meantime, scope that new nerdyshow.com site, yo. The whole site is bursting with content. They’ve got reviews, comics, videos, podcasts, Dungeons and Doritos, there’s a store or something. I don’t know what’s going on. MAKE THEM STOP!

Scott and I will be at the New York City Comicon Oct 8 – 11th!

For reals! Look, there’s even a banner.

We’ll be in ARTISTS’ ALLEY at TABLE E2. Come and see us! We’ve got Atomic Robo Vol 1 – 4 trades and T-shirts for sale and I think buttons for giving away. You can buy original art and sketches from Mr. Wegener and watch me be useless!

We’ll be signing at the Midtown Comics table Saturday from 5 to 6pm!

See you there, folks!

Or else.

Front Mission without the detailed mech — I mean WANZER — customization or the turn based stategery is just Armored Core. But dumbed down.

And, I mean, okay, they were not going to release a game that’s one-half spreadsheets, one-half CSPAN crossed with alphabet soup, and one-half mechs WANZERS plodding their way through turn-based tactical grids.

So, it was going to be this or it was going to be nothing. And the game has a few charming ideas, but eh. This is a Big Robots game from From Software. These guys know their game isn’t going to appeal to the mainstream. I can’t help but think they shouldn’t have just accepted that, embraced it, and gone for a real Front Mission experience.
