Sniper Elite Nazi Zombie Army Out Now On Steam – Gore Patrol On Duty!

Posted on February 28, 2013 by geelw

So… how, pray tell do we go from happy-happy cartoon ponies to blowing holes in zombies just like that? Easy- you pretend you’re riding a bus, just move along and enjoy what’s outside the window. Which in this case would be that final teaser trailer and the even MORE naughty official launch trailer (both very NSFW, by the way- you’ve been warned!) and maybe even you picking up this standalone co-op focused expansion from Steam at some point. Yeah, you know you want to… and you’ll probably fool everyone by storing the game on that My Little Pony Friendship is Magic X MIMOBOT USB drive you just purchased. Shhhh… I won’t tell a soul. Maybe…

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic X MIMOBOTS: mimoco & Hasbro Bring You Useful Eye Candy

Posted on February 28, 2013 by geelw

Well, MY own eyes are burning like toasty coals in some marshmallow fluff factory because I’m not into the whole Brony thing and all, but I don’t begrudge anyone’s interests (provided they’re not harmful to others). Anyway, if this is your big plastic cup of sugar laced saccharine… well, lookit you bouncing around the room with your wallet or purse out! Yeah, I can hear the furious clicking away from here as you poke around the mimoco online store, your eyes as big as saucers as your brain furiously fights over which of the the characters to get. Available in up to 128GB as well as USB3.0 speeds, Rarity, Twilight Sparkle, and Rainbow Dash are all staring back at you with their own big eyes to the point where, gosh and golly, you HAVE to get all THREE!

mimoco knows this as well and as you can see from the video above, each USB drive comes packed with super-cool bonuses that will show the world you love MLPFiMX to death and then some. So, you know what to do, right? Oh… you’ve already done it before you even finished reading this post? Well, good for you – my work here is done.

Humor: Doctor Octoroc’s Doctor Who “Game” NEEDS to Get Made. Seriously.

Posted on February 28, 2013 by geelw

OK, I usually don’t fall for goofy videos on sites like College Humor, but a friend sent me this link and it made me crack up, so here you go. Philadelphia-based artist/musician/pixel genius Doctor Octoroc rocks, I say. Speaking of “say”… say, If you just so happen to see a TARDIS pop up in your neighborhood, keep this link handy so you can show the Doctor (who’s bound to be amused) and maybe ask him to take you for a spin so you both can go on an adventure of your own back to… oh, say 1992 or so and try to convince some game publisher to make this a reality. Then again, I can just see you getting arrested and tossed in a mental hospital like Bruce Willis’ character from 12 Monkeys if you go around telling people you’re from the future. If that doesn’t get you committed, whipping out a thin laptop, tablet or phone will DEFINITELY land you in a rubber room. “Suuuuuurrrre, you can watch movie quality videos over an online connection… O-K, now… Hands up and drop the plastic toy, buddy… NOW!” Or something like that.

Oh well… I guess there’s always RPG Maker for the more talented and impatient types out there…

Random Art Time: Live & Learn…

Posted on February 28, 2013 by geelw

Meh – I guess the best thing about having a crap internet connection is you find things to do while waiting for things to iron themselves out. This dinking around with primitive programs sure beats playing solitaire, Ive heard. And so, whee! One more quickie MS paint sketch for the deviantArt page, I suppose. Enjoy! Should I mention that I sometimes sell actual art work (well, small tree sketches) over at fiverr.com (search for AlwaysTreeTime) or is that too much intentional shilling in an overtly capitalist manner? Hey, at least I’m not sticking a PayPal button on the site or posting creative shoe fetish pics to rake in some extra dough. Granted, my feet could more than likely stop a truck, but now how you’d think. More art later… maybe (well, hopefully done when I’m not waiting around for an hour or two)…

Tomb Raider “Reborn” Trailer: Everyone’s Got Girl Power, It Seems…

Posted on February 27, 2013 by geelw

It looks as if Square Enix and veteran developer Crystal Dynamics have hit a big home run here in this reboot of the franchise and this new video is probably the best bit of PR to come out of this. Watching it is a bit tough, but you’ll want to rescue a tree full of kittens or kick a burning bus down the street into a fire hydrant right afterwards I bet. Just don’t tell the cops that I told you you SHOULD do this. I have enough trouble with people jumping in lakes and flying kites on my say-so. Just go buy the game instead if you have a PS3 or Xbox 360…

Sniper Elite Nazi Zombie Army Teasers 2 & 3: We Did It! (or Did We?)…

Posted on February 27, 2013 by geelw

*whipcrack!* See what happens when fans put their collective feet down? Rebellion drops two more Sniper Elite Nazi Zombie Army teasers in one day instead of keeping us all in suspense as they drip them out when they feel like it. VICTORY for the internets! Champagne for everybody! Wheeee!! We won!!! *whipcrack!!*

Wait, what’s that? The game comes out tomorrow? They had this all planned anyway? Oh crap… Well, there goes my champagne allowance for next month. Damn internet moves fast when there’s free booze…

Retro City Rampage WiiWare Trailer: Old School Shows New School How it’s Done (Again)…

Posted on February 27, 2013 by geelw

Vblank Entertainment’s laugh ’til you drop almost all-out action hybrid game, Retro City Rampage is finally Nintendo bound and it’s about time. Fans of the company’s classic NES console will be getting all misty-eyed and confusing this with all of the games it merrily references while their kids will be wondering why Mommy or Daddy is hogging the controller and locking them in their room. It’s not like they don’t make enough money to buy their own Wii or Wii U, right? Ah well – kids, just be extra nice to Mom and Dad – they’ve just never forgiven Grandma for tossing their games in the trash when they went off to college, that’s all. Anyway, get this on WiiWare tomorrow and get ready to play until you drop.

Remember Me Release Date Trailer: That We Shall, Nilin, That We Shall…

Posted on February 27, 2013 by geelw

Dontnod’s action/adventure game now has a release date: June 4, 2013. and Capcom certainly has a new IP work checking out. Welcome to Neo-Paris (which is going to be a pretty but not-so nice place, as sticking the word “Neo” in front of a city also spells “futuristic dystopian nightmare” or something like that) – hope you’ve got some comfortable running shoes and a good antiperspirant (no French bathing jokes, please! I’ve been there and people seem to be reasonably clean) – you’re going to be doing a LOT of rooftop running and jumping in and out of trouble…

99 Levels to Hell Trailer: Every Day, and With a Cup of Coffee in My Hand…

Posted on February 26, 2013 by geelw

Hey, now! That’s EXACTLY what I USED to say when I woke up most mornings, but thanks to gog.com, I need to change my favorite saying to something else. Gee, thanks guys! It took long enough to think it up (something like 666 levels!), but oh well. Anyway, the game looks pretty cool and yeah, I do wonder that happens after that 99th level? Elvis? The Pope? A Diet Kook factory? Hmmm… maybe I should drop a few bucks on this and find the hell out? Well, once I get this pile of other work done, I most likely will take a trip to hell. As seen in the trailer, it’s got shops and casinos, so it can’t be ALL bad, right? Hmmm…

Sniper Elite Nazi Zombie Army Teaser: A Little Atmosphere Before You’re Out of Air…

Posted on February 26, 2013 by geelw

Oh, Rebellion… you sneaky, sneaky little baw-stawds. Tease and tempt us with these bits and pieces of nice-looking in-engine footage while hiding the hordes of scary undead Nazi scum you want us to ventilate before they take over that war-torn Berlin. Too short, guys, TOO short. Ah well, PC gamers get this on the 28th, so I’m sure many will be pleased and playing half under a blanket. That said, I do want this to come to consoles at some point as either a stand alone game or on a disc (preferably with the original Sniper Elite V2 as a bonus at a nice price point). As always, we shall see…
