Indie Game: Vessel

PLAY on April 12
  Just recently jumped into a new indie game I saw on steam called Vessel.   You play the role of Arkwright the inventor of liquid based automatons.  The game progresses as a puzzle based game where you need to solve problems caused by your inventions most of the time.  The world is very steampunk in design.  Lots of pistons, gears and steam... 

Diablo III Beta: Wizard

PLAY on April 11
I was able to pick up a Beta code at PAXEast for Diablo III after playing for a bit in the NVIDIA Free Play Area on Saturday.  The line for the free play area was enormous with nearly every single person wanting to play Diablo III.  I have not played the predecessors nor am I much for the godview type games and click to move interface.  I don’t...

Novint Falcon 3D Touch Controller

PLAY on April 10
While I was at PAXEast there was a vendor there showing off the Novint Falcon 3D touch controller.  I got a few minutes on the device and another player was good enough to let me catch him in this action shot. Admittedly when I walked up on the booth I saw the controller and I thought “Gimmick” but when i sat down with it I was definitely...

Adventure Time: Five Short Graybles Mini Review

WATCH on April 9
Guess the theme of the 5 stories woven into this episode! Well, not themes, Graybles, I forget what the weird ass dude that was sitting by what looked like warming crystals. He tells us the viewer that we need to figure out the theme and shows us little pictures of our favorite characters in a tiny triangle crystal…thing. And the episode begins.... 

Podcasts for the Commute

FEATURED on April 9
Usually I fill my commute with podcasts. I have roughly two hours a day of commute time and instead of letting two weeks of my year slip away into radio ads and traffic reports about two years ago I turned almost completely to podcasts.  Now some of you may ask  “Dan, why don’t you just relax with some music?”  

Merlin Season 4 Continued It’s Growth as a Premier Show

FEATURED on April 9
I was a good boy. Season 3 ended here in the US and things were gearing up to air Season 4, but on its home channel in Britian, the BBC. Did I pirate? Did I use my English connections to secure advance copies? Perhaps scoured every Wiki or review from Britian as each episode aired? No. I waited. Patiently. I was rewarded when the 4th season made...

My Weekend at PAXEast

FEATURED on April 8
So first off this is my first trip to any PAX. Friday the floor was full but it was flowing. You could easily get by booths and find where you needed to go with only the occasional stoppage when a booth would be having an event. On Saturday it seemed as though there were almost twice as many folks on the floor. Several of the walkways between booths...

WATCH on April 1
Ever since we heard that Michael Bay would be leading the charge in bringing back our favorite childhood “heroes in a half shell”, the Internet collectively groaned.

Star Trek is Great

FEATURED on March 29
The year was 1987 and it was fall. My old man (aka Dad) has me and the entire family lined up on the sofa for the premiere of the first Star Trek series to be on television since he was a boy of 10 years old. I, being a child of a mere 7 years, had no idea what to expect of this new show, but damnit if I wasn’t excited.  

Mad Men: Here to Stay

WATCH on March 29
There are few shows that I really really like. Mad Men is one of those shows. I love the pacing and how it slowly it reveals itself over the course of the season. It has been said that is is considered one of the last of the quote “Golden Age of Television” and while I hold a much more optimistic outlook, there is something from the Television...
