Yes it’s real, Microsoft’s Elite controller costing $149, Vince Mcmahon impressions, plus more!
Jumping back into the world of Westeros as House Stannis in part two of my Westeros Total war A New Beginnings campaign. We take one of House Joeffry’s settlements and beging raising another army to take their capital.
Another Rumetorial talking about the gimmick of Triple A. With the gaming industry overloaded with season passes, ridiculous unwarranted collectors editions, DLC being the fleshy remnants of the full games we used to get when we spent our money. Companies insulting our intelligence consistently shafting the players who make the industry thrive. Without us there is no gaming industry and it’s time we realize that. Or you can look at this as the ravings of a lunatic and smile.
Night Terrors uses your phone camera to make a map of your entire home and then uses augmented reality to place ghosts and demons on your phone and in your house, the game will even scan things like art on your walls, so it can push the objects around and even drop them, with the hopes of bringing immersion into the picture further. Does this game look ambitious? Sure it does, however you have to consider all the stupid people we could see and laugh at falling downstairs in fear, or what about….real life fails with this game? I can see the internet laughing already.
Lots of people have been banging on about Bethesda’s Dishonored 2 leak on it’s twitch stream talking about the game before E3 which showed us a trailer and nothing more. With the leak of Fallout 4 and now Dishonored 2. One must think that this isn’t what it looks like. Now this is only a theory albeit a very pinecone induced theory, but one that makes sense in a world of bizzaro tactics companies use to promote the games we somehow still enjoy. When we see actual footage of Dishonored 2 there will be much more to discuss.
Microsoft’s Xbox One announced it would be backwards compatible. Xbox One owners will be able to play older titles online with gamers who own an Xbox 360. The system launches in the upcoming holidays with over 100 titles, but publishers will need to give their permission for games to work. Sorry too little too late what worries me is a company so focused on the past (no matter how well it sold) when the future is not only more relevant but smarter in the long run. With many companies not putting games on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 why does Microsoft suddenly care? Feels very out of place. A few months after the Xbox One debuted would be more appropriate, not 2 years later.
The Walking Dead: Michonne, A Telltale Games Mini-Series stars the iconic character from the comic book series haunted by her past and coping with unimaginable loss and regret. The story explores her untold journey during the time between issues #126 and #139. Through this Telltale Games mini-series of 3 episodes, players will discover what took Michonne away from Rick, Ezekiel, and the rest of her trusted group and what brought her back.
Expect to see the premiere this fall on PC/Mac, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360, and compatible iOS and Android-based devices. You’ll need at least the first episode of The Walking Dead: Season Two in order to play The Walking Dead: Michonne.
Robert Kirkman and Kevin Bruner explain why Michonne was chosen for the mini series.
“In many ways, Michonne herself is a reflection of the world of The Walking Dead. She is brutal and cold on the outside, but deep beneath what is broken, she remains hopeful, trying to claw her way out of the darkness that surrounds her,” said Robert Kirkman, creator of The Walking Dead. “In our effort to bring the world of the comic and the world of the Telltale series closer together, there is no greater character than Michonne to help bridge that gap.”
“Michonne’s complexity and range make her an ideal lead for the compelling interactive drama fans have come to expect from Telltale,” said Kevin Bruner, Co-Founder and CEO of Telltale Games. “With this mini-series, players will experience Michonne’s challenges first-hand, and the choices they make will shape her journey. We’re incredibly honored by Robert for the opportunity to share this untold story in The Walking Dead universe.”
After watching Hello Games No Man’s Sky presentation a few questions have been answered Murray claimed the game is a “universe-sized sandbox”, there are lots of space battles all over the universe between warring factions. One thing pretty note worthy was how mother f’n big this game is.
Sean Murry says in a statement at the E3 presentation
“Now most of these places have never been visited most of them will never be.”
A truly terrifying aspect of the game is the sentinels on planets that protect it from the player. Pretty much skynet coming to blast you to pink bits of goo. So far so good No Man’s Sky I think I will be a space pirate in this game.
No Man’s Sky still has no release date–Murray said one is coming soon–but it will be releasing first on PS4.
League of Legends developer Riot Games has announced it will be donating all of the collected LCS 2014 fine money to The Trevor Project.
The charity offers crisis intervention and suicide prevention services for LGBTQ youth, will receive a total donation of $31,850.
Riot Games talks about the reasons behind the backing of this charity.
“For the first major donation, we wanted to see the money collected from the 2014 make a difference to one cause,” the studio said. “When we sat down and thought about what was meaningful to us as a community, one cause resonated with most of us—the fight against harassment and discrimination.”

It really sucks when an innately good concept turns sour for individuals who decide to abuse the faith and hope of other for quality entertainment products.
Erik Chevalier board game creator of The Doom That Came to Atlantic City, ordered to return $111,000 in Kickstarter money in a case involving the Federal Trade Commission. The settlement order also prohibits Chevalier from, “making misrepresentations about any crowdfunding campaign and from failing to honor stated refund policies. He is also barred from disclosing or otherwise benefiting from customers’ personal information, and failing to dispose of such information properly.” Oregon court has ruled that Chevalier pay $111,793.71, due to his failure to provide the rewards attached to specific donation tiers and his failure to provide a refund when he finally announced the game’s cancellation. Chevalier used the money raised from the kickstarter “unrelated personal expenses,” including the purchase of licenses for a separate project.
Director of FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection Jessica Rich says in a statement
“Many consumers enjoy the opportunity to take part in the development of a product or service through crowdfunding, and they generally know there’s some uncertainty involved in helping start something new,”
“But consumers should be able to trust their money will actually be spent on the project they funded.”
