Aftermath

By Tycho – June 12, 2013

For as long as I've been actively watching industry events unfold, I don't think I've we've ever seen anything quite like what happened at Sony's press conference. It was a conflagration that consumed every cubic centimeter of Microsoft's rhetorical oxygen. The damage was so absolute that to speak publicly in defense of the device known as the "Xbone" is to be made a fool. I would avoid the punch at Microsoft's afterparty.

Compulsory

By Tycho – June 10, 2013

Gunpoint is just... it's very, very well made. And it's very well written also, which is just showing off because the same person did both things. Nobody likes people who are good at everything - nobody likes having people perforate the Meritocracy like this. We like it the other way, where everyone has crazy merit just inherently, wholly independent of performance, output, or attitude. So when somebody strolls in and starts firing divine beams of concentrated potential it's just... I don't know. Don't do that, I guess. It's rude.

Conversions

Our own Galabriel was selected for inclusion into the Google Explorers Club, which might not actually be its name. I suspect there is a cool patch for your backpack, like the one you get for defeating a Gym Leader. What it means is that he was given the opportunity to travel on his own dime, and then purchase one at exorbitant cost which he'll never truly own. It's absolutely vital that he do so, though: I don't want to harangue people I see wearing them in public, I want to harangue him about them while I'm haranguing him about something else. Plus, and here's where they become a capital investment, these fucking things promise to be a strip generating engine.

Extra Credits: Games For Good

By Tycho – June 5, 2013

It is our great pleasure to know the crew from Extra Credits, and I have suggested to James over there that I am at his service; he's just given me an opportunity to prove it.

Marvel Heroes

By Gabe – June 5, 2013

I’m probably not going to play anymore Marvel Heroes. After the prologue I arrived at the Avengers headquarters and immediately saw tons of the free heroes as well as a few of the purchasable ones. It looks sort of silly to see five hawkeyes running around but I figured this was the hub where you buy shit, get outfitted and group up so it’s not a big deal. Tycho and I formed a party and jumped into the first zone. Now I was imagining that it would be an instance that Tycho and I would share and we would beat up some dudes together similar to Diablo or torchlight. That was not the case.

Marvelous Heroism

By Tycho – June 5, 2013

I had installed Marvel Heroes during a Beta Weekend, and it had been continually updated, so when it actually came out at ten yesterday morning I was in a very good position to play it.

Here, Have Some Truth

By Tycho – June 3, 2013

When you have made a successful game, making a sequel is just what happens. It's natural! Physics asserts itself, and the notion condenses out of the solution.

PA DLC FIN

The Kickstarter is over, and I feel confident saying that this particular Kick has been well and truly catalyzed.
