Just listened to my first episode of the Weekend Confirmed podcast. It was pretty much perfect for me, as they were talking about LoL vs Dota, and dipped into how one might prepare for switching to Dota. They also discussed Bioshock Infinite. 

Downloading Dota now, and perhaps I’ll try it out this weekend. 

It was nice in that I didn’t feel lost listening to the conversation, and had some sort of passing interest in all the games discussed. And with LoL especially, a bit more than that.

Gamasutra - Features - The Next Twenty Years: What Windows 8's Closed Distribution Means for Developers

Wow. This article is a must-read for gamers and those who own a Windows-based computer. 

It’s a bit scary. 

tricksterandrewhussie: revolutionator: empireomega: aspexparsec: theranter9: taterdoom: justacleverruse: whoa can we just talk about this game I played it for like 5 hours last night it’s a flash platforming game with a philosophical dilemma at the end of each level, which is essentially the coolest thing ever it keeps track of your answers and at the end plots you on a graph with a bunch of famous thinkers/historical figures (I ended up nearest amelia earhart, go figure I did like 15 book reports on her in elementary school) and lets you know what type of thinker you are I also thought the avatar creator was pretty cool because it doesn’t explicitly force you to pick boy or girl the controls are a little janky but overall I thought the level design was really nice and the last few levels manage to be both fun and challenging good game. would recommend. you should be playing this trying and bumping for fellow gamers Now that I’ve had the chance to play this a bit, I can say it is one of the most interesting and fun games I’ve ever played. Everyone who follows me should try this when they get the chance, if you haven’t already. Tried playing this but the jumping is the hardest thing to do in the world. I had to stop for 3 seconds completely before jumping and it became tedious and too hard for anything. Am I the only one with this problem? I’m playing this game right now. It’s interesting. Check it out! THE END IS GREAT EVERYONE PLAY IT This is really fun! I’ll check this out sometime this week. Look interesting.

whoa can we just talk about this game

I played it for like 5 hours last night

it’s a flash platforming game with a philosophical dilemma at the end of each level, which is essentially the coolest thing ever

it keeps track of your answers and at the end plots you on a graph with a bunch of famous thinkers/historical figures (I ended up nearest amelia earhart, go figure I did like 15 book reports on her in elementary school) and lets you know what type of thinker you are

I also thought the avatar creator was pretty cool because it doesn’t explicitly force you to pick boy or girl

the controls are a little janky but overall I thought the level design was really nice and the last few levels manage to be both fun and challenging

good game. would recommend. you should be playing this

trying and bumping for fellow gamers

Now that I’ve had the chance to play this a bit, I can say it is one of the most interesting and fun games I’ve ever played. Everyone who follows me should try this when they get the chance, if you haven’t already.

Tried playing this but the jumping is the hardest thing to do in the world. I had to stop for 3 seconds completely before jumping and it became tedious and too hard for anything. Am I the only one with this problem?

I’m playing this game right now. It’s interesting. Check it out!

THE END IS GREAT EVERYONE PLAY IT

This is really fun!

I’ll check this out sometime this week. Look interesting.

This is definitely the best bar in existence.

Where is this and why am I not drunk there.

River Song sounds delicious.

Here. And one day I will convince everyone on my dash to come out and drinks will be on me.

reuters: A new startup is embracing the openness of mobile and Internet platforms and developing Ouya, a $99 gaming console for the television with software and hardware that is designed to be hacked. The device will include a controller with a touch pad and a free software development kit. “The current console market is closed, it’s expensive to develop and it’s expensive to buy games,” Julie Uhrman, a former executive at video game website IGN, said. “And we really wanted to turn that idea on its head by creating an open game console where it was inexpensive and affordable for gamers both on console side and game side.”  The team hopes Ouya will bring innovation to the good old video game console by attracting “indie” or independent game developers and makers of Triple-A game titles in a bid to capture the imagination of casual and core gamers alike. Moreover, all the games will be free-to-try. That means developers can pick any plan to monetize their offerings like micro-transactions through sales of virtual goods or subscriptions, as long the gamer can try the game at first for free.

The Captain got me a portal turret. He gives the best gifts! Not only does it light up, but it says a few phrases from the games, as well:

Are you still there?

Preparing to dispense product.

Goodbye.

I don’t hate you.

Target acquired. 

EDIT: I replaced the crappy iPhone pictures. They looked so bad that I had to get my Nikon out and stop being lazy.
