Have you sent me an e-mail and I haven't written back? I try to respond to as many e-mail as I possibly can, but with the deluge that often comes to my mailbox it simply isn't possible to reply to everyone. Rest assured that I read every e-mail that I receive, though I ask for help with the big words.
Remember, the opinions expressed in Loading... are not necessarily those of TenTonHammer.com, it's partners, affiliates, Stewie of Family Guy or Bubbles of Trailer Park Boys. I do speak for Vin Diesel.

More votes, same result. It's official! My latest comic stinks. On the bright side, the bar isn't set very high for my next attempt to be a superior offering. I've got a good feeling about my next comic idea. Just you wait, the next comic is going to be as popular as a chocolate bar at fat camp. A camp that Kirstie Alley isn't attending by the way.
Our good man Jeff Woleslagle has posted a nifty blog about a real-time strategy game he recently played that spent more time dropping the f-bomb than Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf spends shooting his mouth off. Check out Jeff's blog while I explain why the president of Pakistan decided that the Comedy Network's Daily Show was an appropriate venue for the promotion of his book.
Pervez Musharraf, or Perv for short is promoting a book. With all of the problems of the Pakistani people solved he has time to go on the Comedy Network and spend time with Jon Stewart. He also had time to talk to Canadian news outlets where he said:
"Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf bluntly told Canadians to stop complaining about the number of soldiers they were losing in Afghanistan, saying Canada's death toll was far less than Pakistan's.
We have suffered 500 casualties. The Canadians have suffered four or five. What are you talking about? Who are you talking to? Who are you talking to? You are talking to the president of a country that has suffered 500 casualties,'' he said.
``You have suffered two dead and there is crying and shouting all around the place that there are coffins.""
Perv seems to conveniently forget that his country is the one filled with Taliban. Hey Perv, they are the ones running head-first into NATO convoys wearing C4 hats. So yes, it bothers us when 35 (not 4 or 5) of our citizens die protecting your sorry ass while you sit on the Comedy Network promoting a book.
Remember when the U.S. promised to "...bomb Pakistan back to the stone age"? Right now that mild mannered, quiet, clean country that sits in the north is wondering if maybe that shouldn't happen.
I asked yesterday which games you were looking forward to and we had a celebrity answer. Aaron of Guild Portal mentioned Age of Conan. Here is a game that I know very little about, yet it received a lot of rave reviews at E3 this year. Aaron is all for decapitation, and who isn't, but really, what's the big selling point of this game? Do you eventually level up to the point that you become governor of California?
The announcement that Cryptic Studios, the folks behind City of Heroes would be developing the Marvel MMO zinged a good vibe through the network yesterday. Didn't Marvel sue them once upon a time? I guess now they think they are MARVELous.
