70-Seas

Update 1-24-12: My computer is back up and running. However the time I lost dealing with the virus means that I will only be able to deliver two comics this week.

Regularly scheduled updates resume Wednesday.

The comic for this Monday (and maybe the rest of the week) will be appearing late on account of a computer virus that has infected the computer I make comics with.

I can still make comics, but uploading them could give away my passwords or spread the virus, so I’m holding off until I’ve had the system checked out. Hopefully this will be completed by the time I get home from work Monday, but it could take longer.

I’ll keep you posted.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Update 1-11-12 10:33pm: The new comic is up, thank you for your patience

Approximately a half hour ago an update to Windows Vista forced my computer to restart while I was minutes away from finishing today’s comic. Hours of work on the comic were lost, work which I do not believe I will be able to reproduce satisfactorily tonight. As such today’s update will be postponed until some time this evening.

Sorry for the delay.

70-Seas is now on tumblr, you can see all sorts of extra stuff, and stuff.

In no particular order

Saint’s Row: the Third

Rockstar has made it clear from their last few entry into the Grand Theft Auto games that they’re mortified to be making Grand Theft Auto games. Fortunately Volition is around to make being a violent, psychotic super criminal fun again.

Anomaly: Warzone Earth

Aliens are invading Baghdad and they’re building turrets all over the place. You have to stop them by guiding a caravan of military vehicles through the destroyed city streets. Anomaly takes the tower defense genre and makes it fun by finally giving you something to do while the towers duke it out.

Portal 2

It’s fun, it’s charming, it’s got lots of really smart, really tough puzzles, and it’s got co-op so you and a friend can be confused by them together.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine

This game has a jetpack, when you press the button to use the jetpack you fly 50 feet straight up in the air, when you press it again you launch yourself into the ground at top speed, when you happen to land in a mob of orcs, half of whom explode on impact, you feel like a GOD.

League of Legends

No it didn’t technically come out this year, but it’s still the game I’ve played the most. It’s a role-playing game, and a real time strategy game, and it’s got a little fish man named Fizz who can kill chumps with a land shark. They’re constantly adding new champions to learn to play as/against, and the new this year Dominion mode is fun on a bun.

Even sweeter, LoL available for free,  just make sure you tell them Nick sent you*.

*No seriously tell them, I get stuff if you do.
