New Guitar

really you can never have too many.

This one is super sick.  2013 G&L ASAT Bluesboy USA.  Maple neck/Fretboard.  Swamp Ash body, Seymor Duncan Seth Lover Humbucker in the neck and a G&L single coil in the bridge (each pole can be individually raised/lowered in the single coil - I haven't messed with that yet and may never lol).

Starmade (Alpha PC) Minecraft meets EVE Online....or something.

So imagine a game where you could design and build space ships, land on planets, create space stations, fleets of ships, align yourself with like minded people in factions, explore, expand, exterminate, exploit (well maybe...) on a dedicated server with potentially hundreds of other players and AI driven space pirates, shops and AI trading ships.  Make alliances, infiltrate your enemies and take them down from the inside out.

Comedy Gold

 Such Comedy.  I love the Dragon's Den / Shark Tank - this whole thing reminds me of those shows.  Like when a presentation is going really really bad and the Dragons/Sharks are just shitting on the guys/gals who are giving their pitch.  The presenters start panicing and just try to give the answers they think the Dragons/Sharks want to hear so they can get their money.  But the Dragons and Sharks see right through all the deception.

Another XBOX One Blog

Here's how I feel the intial reveal went.  With each scooter accident being a "selling point".

Monaco: What's Yours is Mine (PC/360)

Nothing gets the blood pumping like a good heist!  And if it is truly a good heist - things will go wrong....so very very wrong.

Spring Break Gaming! Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm, ARMA III (alpha)....and Euro Truck Simulator 2??? wtf.

So my wife and four kids are all gone to her parents for the week.  Leaving me and the dog at home (I have to work and watch my crazy dog - who can't be kenneled because he would kill the people working there).  So I decided to drop some bones on some games.

Don't Starve! (FREE giveaway - read below!)

Just downloaded Don't Starve.  An indie survival game.  Very nice asthetic / sounds / visuals and fun game play - made it only 3 days on my first (and only) attempt.

To the Moon (steam sale)

You can pick up indie title To the Moon for $3.39 on steam this week (actually for another 7 hours) which is 66% off.

 

To the Moon is a critically acclaimed indie game (average metacritic score of 81).  It is a retro-style RPG with a fantastic sound track and an incredible story.  By all accounts there isn't much in the way of fresh and exciting or innovative gameplay but the story and setting are said to  be brilliant.   Worth gambling the price of a cup of coffee and a muffin on if you are in the mood for gorgeous music and a brilliant story.
