PvP hits Xbox 360 today


Just wanted to let everyone know that PvP is officially available in the Xbox 360 marketplace in several flavors:

  • Episode 1 of PvP: The Series is available in the dowloadable media section. Enjoy it in HD on your Television.
  • PvP Gamerpics are now available to adorn your gamer profile. Strike fear into your opponants by showing with a Panda or Scratch Fury avatar. Rock out your Guitar Hero stats with a Skull in Kiss makeup avatar.
  • PvP backgrounds are also available. Download the first of many upcoming PvP themes to decorate the backgrounds of your Xbox Live menu.

Watch PvP: The Series for 99 cents


If lack of funds has kept you from watching a single episode of PvP: The Animated Series, your day has come.

Blind Ferret and PvP are happy to offer our favorite epsiode entitled "Precious Moments" for a 99 cents trial offer. For under a dollar, you can give the series a try. If you like what you see, you can upgrade to see all the episodes made so far and our upcoming 3 episodes to round up season one at a discounted price. You won't pay for the same episode twice.

Buy books, get free art


To thank people for supporting our new store, Kris and I are offering free sketches with our books.

THIS WEEK ONLY, if you order Starslip Crisis Vol 1, or the PvP Book Pack special we're throwing in an original sketch on the inside cover FREE OF CHARGE! So here's your chance to get our books, at a special rate, and a free sketch to boot. It's like seeing us at a con without the fanboy smell.

Halfpixelstuff.com is here


Kris and I have opened a new store for both of our comics as well as brand-new merchandise. Half Pixel Stuff is the new home for all your Starslip Crisis and PvP gear. I'll be slowly migrating from Thinkgeek over the next couple of months.

Kris is selling both autographed and artist editions of his brand new book SSC Vol along side the Starslip technical manual and the Checkerboard Nightmare book. I'm selling Skull plushes, All the PvP books, my other books and Feed the troll merchandise.

Check out the store as we'll be adding new products and special offers throughout the coming months.

PvP site - hang in there, baby

PvPonline.com - Unexpected site outtage


I'm trying to get the word out that the PvP server had some hardware issues that my host Speakeasy is working on. We've been down for about a day. We had planned to run maintenance over the slow part of the weekend but apparently the server had other plans and crapped out early yesterday.

It's all a part of running your own website I guess. It's been rare I've had server issues so I guess I was due.

I'll be posting strips over at halfpixel.com until my site is back up again. But it might be a long weekend. Thanks!
