The folk that put on the local Portland game convention Gamestorm invited me this year. So if you are going to the event or are planning on being in the area, let me know so we can hangout for a bit. I am also bringing a limited amount of the new Cheerful Ghost stickers so make sure to let me know you want one and i'll make sure you get it. I'll be at the con Saturday(March 21st) walking around interviewing various people involved with the convention and playing a few games if I can.

Gamestorm is a great local con that focuses on board games, table top RPGs, LARPs, collectible card games & miniatures. It's a pretty popular con in Portland and I like it because it... Read All


Last year Epic announced it was creating a new Unreal Tournament game and they were going to be doing things a bit different. Instead of creating a retail copy like in past iterations, the new Unreal Tournament would be released for free and developed in the open with the community. Recently at GDC they showed off a build of Unreal Tournament running on SteamOS/Linux and after seeing how well it was running in 4K I decided to see how well it would run on my PC.

Come to find out, you can download and install the latest pre-alpha build of Unreal Tournament on Mac and Windows right now by heading over to the site and registering. Sign up is simple and one thing you will... Read All

The final design of the new Steam Controller has surfaced and it looks like the leaked design photos that came out last year. I love the design and fit and finish of it all. We know that it will retail for $50 and be for sale in November. I've heard rumors that it supports movement input and a few other things but there hasn't been an official Valve announcement yet.

When more information drops i'll update the post.


Bethesda and MachineGames are back with more Wolfenstein! Wolfenstein: The Old Blood is a prequel to last year's absolutely fantastic Wolfenstein: The New Order, and has our hero B.J. Blazkowicz breaking into Castle Wolfenstein to steal coordinates to Deathshead's compound, and trying to stop some recently uncovered artifacts from falling into Nazi hands. Most importantly, he'll be killing Nazis like he does so well.

You can jump back into the action on May 5th. It'll retail for $19.99 and does not require the base game.

There's also going to be a Twitch stream later this week to show off some gameplay.

Brief intro:
A while ago, I saw a video about Don't Starve. It looked interesting and seemed to have a Tim Burton kind of artistic look about it. This game fits many genres such as survival, sandbox, adventure, and maybe more. As your character, you find yourself waking up in the world with another character telling you, "Say pal, you don't look so well. You better find something to eat." From there, you're on your own to figure out how to survive. Your primary concern may be not starving to death, but you also have to keep an eye on... Read All

News recently dropped that the upcoming Terraria 1.3 update will include some new music from composer Scott Lloyd Shelly. Re-Logic created a new trailer to show off part of a new song you need to check out. One of the coolest parts about the Terraria 1.2 update was the new music and I am very excited to hear we are getting more(amongst other things). I decided to reach out to Scott and ask him a few questions about how the music for 1.3 is progressing and he was nice enough to get back to me.

Scott recommended that we checkout the Terraria GDC blog as they will drop more Re-Logic and Terraria news over the week.
