The trailer for Press Start is now online! Check it out on the entry page or the Videos page. And if you'd like to embed it on your own site, it's also available on YouTube:



We've also uploaded a short collection of interview clips to YouTube, where we talk a little more about Press Start:



Enjoy, and don't forget that tomorrow's episode of Press Start: Bonus Levels features the voice of Robert Belgrade, better known as Alucard from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night!

PAL: Good News and Bad News.

NOTE: The following only affects folks in Western Europe, Australia and Eastern South America.

The bad news first: unfortunately we won't be able to have a PAL version of Press Start available after all, because the resulting video would just look unacceptably choppy and awful. We're extremely sorry.

BUT!! The good news is that your computer will be able to play the DVD just fine -- computers and computer monitors make no distinction between PAL and NTSC. And the Press Start disc will be REGION FREE, so region coding won't make any difference whatsoever.

There's also a good chance that your PAL set-top DVD player will still play the disc. Most PAL DVD players can actually play both formats, and most PAL TVs made within the last 8-10 years support it as well. However, we are unable to guarantee this.

Just a reminder: if you live in the U.S., Canada, Japan, South Korea, the Phillippines, Mexico, or any other country that uses the NTSC standard, your Press Start DVD should play just fine on all players.

Press Start Art at Wizard World Chicago!

Hey there, ladies and gents! You may have heard of a little gathering called Wizard World Chicago. It just so happens I'll be there this weekend, August 10th through 12th, as a guest of Chicago area artist J.T. Molloy who will be showcasing his work, including but hardly limited to this excellent Press Start piece:



So if you were planning on going to the convention, we'd love to have you drop by with questions, or just to say hi! And if you weren't planning on going, will be in the Chicago land area, and have any kind of nerdish or fan-boy-like tendencies, then you should change your plans and go! It's a blast!

Hope to see you there at table 4214A in Artist's Alley!
