Excuse me, do you mind not farting while I'm saving the world? British gaming company, Cubicle 7, has announced plans for a new Doctor Who role-playing game. The game will be based on the current version of the BBC series, and it's the third one to make use of the Doctor Who universe.

Now quite sure what to make of this one the fox's new regency feature film Voltron Defender the Universe has now gone into turnaround but meanwhile Relativity Media says they're in discussions with the Voltron rights holders that's world defense productions to produce the movie version of the anime series done to be much like 300 was which I assume means heavily on CGI that means a whole new director is going to be announced and
more than likely a new script and title as well and we'll let you know as soon as we do The 2008 presidential campaign has made a connection with gamers and it's not a good one a spokesman for senator john mccain has again tied senator barack obama supporters to tunges and dragons and gamer fans as well this latest time was a post on the mccain website this week there was an earlier time a few weeks back that a similar barb was tossed out there
hey not to say anything but shouldn't there be more important things to be posting about hi this is Darwyn Cooke and you're listening to ComicMix so you spent all your money on secret invasion this week what are you going to do for the rest of the week for something new and interesting to read how about a kind of a cool free webcomic okay you're going to say what's it about well remember last week when you and your buddies
were hanging around having a couple of beers talking about television movies and comics and in the back of your head you said you know this would make a really cool story well meet somebody who's already done that my name is neil brier and i work on uh www.wombatcomic.com and this is about it's a free weekly webcomic loosely based on the adventures of me and my friends just the craziness we get into talking about movies tv shows comic books whatever you won't
find this as a ract in the comic store next to your favorite scroll title instead there's only one place to get it right now it's just web only i've been going for about a year and a half got about 80 comics up right now in the backlog um eventually i'd like to get into print but uh we're still a little ways away from that yet you won't find any superheroes or aliens in this as neil keeps everything pretty well grounded it is but like i said it's loosely based on the adventures
of me and my friends so you know when we're out drinking if the conversation comes up i'll uh write it down and and use that as material so what would one of the typical wombat plots be is uh me and my buddy john leaving to come to chicago comic con and uh something major is going to happen there that uh is is going to make us hated by everyone at con well the price share is reasonable and even if it wasn't wombat is well worth a look check out deal's work at wombatcomic.com
