A Video Game Starter Guide for Total Newbs

by Becky Chambers | 12:55 pm, February 20th, 2012

Yeah, I know, a lot of you out there are already gamers. You’ve got raiding schedules and encyclopedic knowledge of voice actors and DPS formulas good enough for publication in academic journals. For this, I salute you.

But some of you aren’t gamers. I’ve had comments from and conversations with folks who have an inclination to game, but just haven’t given it a try yet. I understand why.

Valve to Collect All of It’s Publicity Comics Under One, Physical, Cover, Including Portal

by Susana Polo | 12:28 pm, July 11th, 2011

Not sure why this seems so exciting to me… Comic books based on video games are no new phenomenon. Neither are physical collections of otherwise digital comics. Nor are collections of publicity materials all that rare, either. But here we are: I’m kind of excited for a little hardcover that’s showed up on Dark Horse’s November solicits, Valve Presents: The Sacrifice and Other Steam-Powered Stories.
