The Humble InDIE Bundle 13 dropped featuring 4 copies of Risk of Rain, Olli Olli, Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, Tower of Guns, Amnesia a Machine For Pigs, Jazzpunk & Shadowrun Returns if you pay $15. This one also has a special $65 tier that comes with a box, hoodie, patches and cassette tape!

This features the brand new port of Risk of Rain on Mac and Linux as well as all the other games on those ports as well. I was wondering why Risk of Rain didn't drop with Mac and Linux ports on the last update and it dropping in this Bundle makes sense why they waited.

Humble Indie Bundle 13, too good to pass up or are you going to pass on it? I mean, four copies of Risk of Rain is a pretty cool thing now that it features Internet Co-Op!

After spending the last few months polishing Starship Rubicon we are extremely excited to debut the game on Steam Greenlight.

"In Starship Rubicon, Earth has been casually destroyed by a mysterious race of space-faring invertebrates. You are a fighter pilot whose cryopod has been collected by a possibly-insane AI, who has placed you in the unenviable position of being humanity’s savior. Shanghaied and alone, you must gather the remaining human survivors and traverse the surprising biodiversity of deep space to find a new home.

Features

• Quick Gameplay - Pilot your ship in fast-paced shoot-em-up, featuring a unique approach to arcade physics and controls.
  Customize Your Ship - Upgrade your ship with a Tetris-styled hangar bay as you find weapons and items on your quest.


• Randomized Universe - Make your way through a diverse galaxy as you encounter interesting new lifeforms. Each play session generates a new path of enemies, allies, and items.


• Casual Roguelike - When your ship blows up, that’s the end of the line for that game. However, if you collect enough crystal shards by the end of a sector you can save your ship to re-launch it on another level.


• A Fleet Of Ships To Play - Do you prefer fast ships for run and gun? Do you like something that takes a punch but isn’t as agile? Start the game with 3 different ships and spend shards to unlock more ships with unique abilities!

The opening Cinematic for The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt has finally dropped and sports some absolutely stunning animation. It starts with a Sorceress getting caught in the middle of a pretty standard medieval battle. Featuring one of the most gruesome horse decapitation moves a general decaptiates the Sorceress horse. Hilarity ensues and as such I recommend you watch it to see how it ends.

What do you think of the new Witcher 3 trailer? How do you feel about horse decaptiation? How can ravens fly through people's skulls? Why does the Witcher suddenly look like Gabe Newell? Does the Witcher celebrate Christmas?

These questions may be answer when The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt drops next year.

If you have been paying attention to the release of Bungie's new game Destiny you may have heard some people take point to aspects of it. YouTube sensation loadingreadyrun has created a fun 8bit styled video about some Destiny quirks.

Not sure I am going to pick this up on console and if it ever does come to PC, I can't wait to try it out and join the "destiny complain train."

If you haven't seen this sketch, I recommend you check it out. It contains some ripe language, so prepare yourself. Oh right and Steve Urkel, it also features Steve Urkel.

Jack and Rick from Red Letter Media review Alien: Isolation the new triple A horror game from Sega. I took away a few things from this video. First off I am not going to get Alien: Isolation, secondly I am happy that when I sit down to review a game, if I don't like it I stop.

That said, I sort of admire their persistence and watching the video was pretty great even though they loathed the game they were reviewing. In the end hearing the game wasn't great was unfortunate as I really like Alien and was hoping for a really kick ass stealth game.

In a world featuring samey tropes and cookie cutter storylines, Mutant Games brings us the heretically titled game Fist of Jesus. In Fist of Jesus

"Something went wrong with Lazarus’ resurrection... help Jesus and Judas to fight the zombie infection using amazing combos, divine punishments and special attacks!"

As you can see from the trailer above, Mutant Games is having a ton of fun with Jesus fan fic and zombies.

ConcernedApe is still feverishly working on one of my most anticipated games of the moment, Stardew Valley. Recently he uploaded a new trailer that features lots of gameplay and some story beats. So far he hasn't dropped a date about when the game might release, but it doesn't look like we have too much longer to wait.

"I know Stardew has been in development for a long time... but it is getting close to completion. Thanks for your patience, everyone. And thanks for watching!"

Today Google dropped the news of a new Android powered device called "Nexus Player." After looking at it i've concluded it's some of the best tech news i've heard in quite some time. Basically the Nexus Player sports a quad-core Intel Atom 1.8GHZ chip, 802.11ac, HDMI out & remote for $99. You can also buy an XBox 360 styled controller for $40. The Nexus Player runs a version of Android configured for TV and also supports the incredible Chromecast protocol, which enables you to stream video directly to it from a Chrome tab or Chomecast powered app. Google is taking a pretty big leap into the realm of TV and this device seems to be pretty awesome.

Why Does This Matter? Isn't This Just The Amazon Fire TV Or Roku?

Sort of, but in my estimation is this actually much more interesting on a few fronts.

Google devices are typically more open than other devices. Want an Android app not available in the marketplace on a Nexus device? Install the .apk. Want to do that on the Fire TV, Roku or Apple TV? Time to hack that device! The ability to install apps to certain Android devices allowed the Humble Bundle to do awesome stuff like Android Bundles. Could we see Android TV bundles in the future with Steam, Android and Android TV ports of awesome games? I really hope so.

Nexus player sports an Intel Atom chip, which is basically a version of the same processor in your PC. It's not as powerful, sure, but it's a nice start and could allow... ahem Steam, cough to port a version to it. In a world where Google could choose a lower cost and power draw ARM chip, Intel is an interesting choice.

The fact that Ouya was one of the most successful Kickstarter projects proves that there is a demand for a cheap livingroom device that is open, hackable, small and allows anyone the ability to publish a game to it. Google entering this domain might give game developers another way to reach more fans.

Eventually these kinds of devices will become more integrated into our TV's and it's interesting to see them resemble a regular PC in terms of hardware. In a talk Gabe gave a year ago at Dice, he outlined how early Steam Machines would cost a few hundred dollars and eventually cost only $99 and then zero as Steam is integrated directly into your TV. After seeing what Google is doing here, his words seem to be right on the money.

What do you think, is the Nexus Player cool or just another step top box relegated to the "meh" pile?
