Wow. Super catchy tunes, classic platforming action, awesome retro/modern visuals and more, all now ready to snap up in Beatbuddy: Tales of the Guardians. The game’s developer, THREAKS has cooked up a really cool treasure that’s part throwback and part modern classic that’s going to bring grins to anyone who remembers the glory days of popping in 16-bit carts on a rainy weekend and tap-tap-tapping the hours away. Now, if only this was on a cartridge (or the PS Vita!). OK, time for the not so gory details, folks. Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians is available now on Steam for $14.99 on PC, Mac, and Linux and even better, there’s a nice 10% off sale, meaning you probably should take advantage of this deal while it lasts if this game happens to float your boat…

Thor: The Dark World Trailer: Ragnarok and Roll All Night…

Although I’ve been ignoring it (and a bunch of other blockbusters this year, thanks to the window from theatrical to home video release getting shorter and shorter to the point of insanity) this sequel actually looks pretty decent (OK, it looks really decent). The again, the first film wasn’t bad at all and made for a nicer change of pace in how it handled the characters and blended humor into the mix so well. Kenneth Branagh isn’t on as director this time, but you can’t go wrong with Andy Taylor’s expertise at lensing a few episodes of Game of Thrones. That alone should propel this film into box office heaven… er Valhalla? Asgard? Whatever? Anyone? Bueller?… Bueller?

Not A Slow Day At All, Just A Slow Connection…

Bleh, so the horror continues. I’m still poking around at a whopping 24-28mbps maximum at a few spots today, so I’m typing this post on an actual faster dial-up connection (whee?) and wondering what’s up in this area lately with broadband. Anyway, I’m behind on a ton of stuff thanks to this and I’ve a screening to attend in the early evening. I’ll try hitting a hotspot afterwards to see if I get a better connection in the city, but this is getting ridiculous. Yeah, it’s going to be “fun” when these new digital-only systems roll in after the coming generation for sure. Back in a bit with some actual updates (HOPEFULLY)…

Payday 2 Updates: “What Is” (Or: Living Large As A Lowlife)…
And in the not too distant future, there will be many Monday morning work conversations that go something like this: “Er, Soooo… what did YOU do this weekend…” followed by a smirk and maybe a knowing nod or three from a few others hanging around that coffeemaker after being up way too late the night before playing too much Payday 2. Sure, it’s not a game for everyone, but if you’re looking for something more like a modern day cops & robbers deal and not another military shooter with a guaranteed few million sales on day one (and super crowded lobbies to boot).
The original Payday was a blast, but this sequel adds so much more cool stuff that it feels like a reinvention in some respects. 505 Games and Overkill Software have a hit here for you would be digital bank robbers, so do them a favor and pay actual dollars to snap this one up, I say…
