Prototype to appear on HBO’s Entourage

You know howPrototypeis blatantly better thaninFAMOUS? It’s on HBO this Sunday! Evil publisher Activision is boasting that the hit television showEntouragewill feature some sort of cameo from everybody’s favorite shapeshifting sandbox game. This is proof that HBO are biased Microsoft fanboys (because obviouslyPrototypewasn’t multiplatform) and prefer the Xbox 360 to the PS3 which hadinFAMOUSon it. That’s how these fanboy accusations work, right? Also they are fat and bad journalists. Anyway, some show I’ve never seen is featuring a game I thought was quite fun....

Shakedown: Hawaii’s second major free update is live, and it has tanks

This game is low key one of the best of 2019 so far Shakedown: Hawaiiis doing a lot of things, as an indie, that big games aren’t. First off it got a Vita release this year as a new game in 2019, which pretty much everyone has abandoned beyond Limited Run Games (which mostly hosts ports), which is fairly big. It’s also hosting free DLC in the form of updates, the first of which was the “Mogul Update....

It’s not DLC like anything in theSkylandersseries or even amiibo, mind, it’s just a literalhunk of plasticthat lights up every once in a while. Yep, it’s none other than thePokemonZ-Ring, which takes after the in-game item of the same name....

Speed-painted Mario wants you to check his package

“Do the Mario,” indeed 8bit Egoartist Josh Summana, who recently shared a time-lapse video of his killerDonkey Kong painting, has clued me into a new piece as part of his “Heroes” line. If you haven’t already, do check out his “Villains” line as well. What struck me most about this particular piece is that sly, almost sinister smirk on Mario’s face. And that piercing gaze! Why does it look like he’s trying to skull f*ck your soul?...

Steam has a sale on Bastion and some EA-published indies

Steam has been doing its Midweek Madness sales for so long that, come to think of it, they don’t seem quite so mad any more. Somehow, I’ve been desensitized to deals like 60% offBastionandDustForcefor half price. If these small purchases didn’t add up to scary amounts of money, I’d almost feel guilty. Just in case you missed out on Alasdair’shighlight of the pair, allow me to be that dude who asks you to sign his initiative to legalize marijuana multiple times in the span of two days, but for indie game sales....
