And to give in to such ridicule would be unthinkable.

I returned from this vegetarian restaurant downtown today after having eaten a meal that looked vaguely like something that fell out of a horse. I remember feeling disappointed at my inability to find pleasure in the “cool” things in life. Things like the trendy vegetarian restaurant downtown. Discouraged, I decided to fire up the Bioshock demo that was released on PSN recently as my first play through had been cut short and I was looking forward to finishing it. Ideally it would allay any concerns I may have had about always being “that guy” that bucks the popular trend just to be different. I bloody hate that guy. Read more… »
Dizzy and the Other Side is an entirely free, fan made, sequel in the once popular “Dizzy” games series. The gameplay should be very familiar for anyone who’s played a Dizzy game in the past. You’ll jump and roll your way through a sort of 2d open world environment, solving puzzles and interacting with the other egg people. The story in this game revolves around Dizzy’s quest to retrieve an artifact for a quasi-evil wizard who’s blackmailing him. It’s a light hearted affair. Read more… »

2DBoy is a brand new studio founded by the very talented Kyle Gabler and Ron Carmel. Their first game “World of Goo” which was inspired by Tower of Goo, will be releasing shortly and, if early reviews are any indication, it’s going to be awesome. We’ll have a full review up soon enough and maybe a few other gooey surprises for you, but, in the meantime, we were given the opportunity to sit down (virtually) with Kyle and ask him a few questions.
I feel I should warn everyone ahead of time that our line of questioning and some of Kyle’s answers cover everything from lancing strange growths, to Jack Black, to glorious ways to end ones’ own life, so read ahead with caution and an open mind.
