Get ready to Hero Up!

Erm, so, what have I been doing for the last five or so months…? Well amongst other things, helping this to appear:
What do you think? More soon.
City of Heroes sketchbooks! Signed! Bid! Now!
Posted by Rockjaw in Links of Others, Pimpin' on May 13th, 2009
Last year we (as in, the Creative Concepts team within NCsoft Europe headed by me) put together a limited edition City of Heroes Sketchbook, and very happy I was about it too, as you can tell from this picture taken with the first one.
Anyway, while I know many of you who attended cons we were at (particularly Bristol ’08) probably already have a sketchbook, not many of you will have it signed by the artists whose work is inside the covers!
Well, now’s your chance to own one of ten sketchbooks that have been defaced by artists like Dave Gibbons, Doug Braithwaite, Mark Buckingham, Andie Tong, Phil Winslade, Bryan Talbot and many more! Oh also there are pictures.
All you have to do is bid on this charity auction, with all proceeds as ever going to EveryChild!
Seriously folks, this thing is lovely, with loads of sketches inside depicting the well-known signature characters from City of Heroes, including Statesman, Back Alley Brawler, Ms Liberty, Sister Psyche, Lord Recluse, Ghost Widow and more. If you don’t believe me, click the image on the right to see some thumbnails of the imagery inside.
Considering the sketchbook was only available at a few UK conventions last year, and there’s only nine of the signed ones in existence, if you’re any kind of fan of City of Heroes you should really go make a bid! It’s for charity, after all.
Stay tuned for more hot auction items including original art from the sketchbook!
Limited Edition 3 of… a lot
Posted by Rockjaw in Links of Others, Nerd Alert, Personal, Pimpin' on October 7th, 2008
Spent a very enjoyable couple of hours over the weekend blabbing about comic books, movies, games and so on with John and Matt for Limited Edition, episode 3.
Somehow John managed to cut our two hours of chat down into a relatively svelte 90 minutes, so if you fancy a listen head on over to the Limited Edition site for more info, and to download.
Lots of work related stuff happening right now – both in my actual work and in potential, possible work. When/if any of it breaks I’ll let you know.
In the interim, I’ll try to come up with a few more things to say around here, but honestly, life’s keepin’ me busy….

Eurogamer Expo: the new gig
Posted by Rockjaw in MMO-related, Pimpin' on September 22nd, 2008
The future revealed – well, the short-term future anyway.
Thanks to the contacts of the man in the photo above, and my own (ahem) smooth talking, James Spafford and I will be working part-time for Eurogamer.net for the next six weeks or so, helping to promote and then ultimately run the first ever Eurogamer Expo. Read the rest of this entry »
