So I'm not sure how this works, but I know that I love it. Part dance party, part performance, is Robot Cowboy a vision of the future? Is he man or machine? Is this how Skynet began, by tricking us into thinking we were at a concert, then launching Judgement Day?
CDM has more details about this performance. Apparently it's part of STEIM/Handmade Music - Amsterdam, a DIY tech and music get together. Be sure and check out more Robot Cowboy and other cool projects at their site.
Last month, I begged Cave to let us know if their Xbox 360 port of bullet hell shooter, Espgaluda 2, would be region-free like Mushihime-sama Futari. Well, shmup fans might have something to be excited about.
Kotaku are reporting that the regular edition of the game will be region-free while the limited edition will be locked. But before you go off pre-ordering your copy, consider this: nowhere else has reported this news, not even the blog of Cave's Makoto Asada, which is usually the first place to reveal Cave-related news. Something's fishy here, especially considering the same author of the Kotaku article reported that Muchi Muchi Pork would be released on XBLA, which hasn't happened.
Personally, I'll be holding off until Cave themselves mention whether the game is region-free or not, but that doesn't mean I haven't got my fingers crossed.
Edit: Kotaku have assured us that nothing is fishy here. Apparently, the author of the article talked to Cave themselves, which is why no one else has reported the good word and why the article isn't sourced. Also, it was a different author who mentioned the possible Muchi Muchi Pork port. My bad!
I'm a gamer, always have been. Problem is for a large number of years that's really just consisted of the video variety. That's a huge mistake on my part, to not enjoy the video game's analog brethren... the board game. There’s actually a vibrant and intense board game world out there that’s been pushed to the sidelines by game players such as ourselves for too long. In this column I'll be diving into this world, looking at games that hopefully you'd like to try out for yourself.
The gipf series is an interesting concept. They're a series of abstract 2 player games that offer simple rules but deep strategy. I've already covered two games in the series, DVONN and ZERTZ. Today I'll be taking a look at the game that kicked off the gipf series of games, which is also titled GIPF.
Jimmy, Daniel and Ryan embark on an un-chaperoned insanity-pepper-fuelled fever-dream beyond space and time, but sadly we only managed to record the sound part. This fever-dream conversation included (but was not limited to) talk of: madcap hijinks, shenanigans, goings-on, and horseplay. Also fairly concrete proof that we are not game developers. Also, news. Also, a speed-read of this week's releases. Also... DudeBro.
TempleCon 2010 took place this weekend at the fancy-pants Crowne Plaza in Rhode Island. And while I avoided all things dragony and magical, I was all over the SNK-sponsored King of Fighters tournament.
I'll be totally honest here, I'm not totally clear where in the Halo mythos this guygirl comes from. My best guess is Halo ODST era stuff.... but if I'm wrong please feel free to chastise me in the comments.
Anyways, this little dudedudette will be hitting virtual store shelves in March. If you wanna buy himher, I always recommend the classy Entertainment Earth.
[Edit: Thanks for the heads up Zac! Unless a Spartan is a character in a crappy Dead or Alive game... I just assume they're all dudes :) ]
Rhode Island - home to the snail salad, Peter Griffin, the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe, and TempleCon. TempleCon, now in its fifth year, is an all-inclusive convention that covers all types of gaming, such as tabletop RPGs, collectible card games, and of course, videogames.
This year, the convention is being partly sponsored by SNK Playmore. There will be multiple MVS arcade cabinets and even King of Fighters and Samurai Showdowntournaments, among others. SNK have provided the organizers with some special prizes, from capsule toys to the two Complete Box volumes.
So if you're in the area of Rhode Island between the 5th through the 7th, come hang out at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Warwick. Pre-registration is closed, but you can always buy your pass at the door. Check out the pricing page for details. Oh, and bring your brass pocket watches and monocle; this year's theme is steampunk.
