Episode 107 – Goth Sloth

I ammmmmm theeeeee darrrrknee.....  *sleep*

Kirby sucks a glorious amount in this most wondrous of episodes.  Sadness has returned and it’s as confusing as ever. While we’re talking about confusing things how about PadDefender? Is it like a Frog Fractions thing? Is life as we know it just an elaborate Frog Fractions publicity stunt? Bugs. We’re all very confused. Icarus Proudbottom saves the day though and we get to tap a chicken.

Crowd Funding Pick: Icarus Proudbottom: Starship Captain (Four way tie)

MOGA Pro Review

MOGAProReview

Over the last few weeks I’ve had my hands on the MOGA Pro Tablet and let me tell you this thing is a revolution. This small plastic stand collapses into a compact size but when unfolded holds any tablet, phone, cook book or painting canvas with ease. It is solid, hold items at a great viewing angle and had frankly changed my life. 10/10

Everything after the stand is just a bonus

Bullets Over Brazil: In Praise of Max Payne 3

MazPayne3

“Time moves forward…” says the titular hero of Max Payne 3 at one point during the game, “and nothing changes.”

That isn’t necessarily a bad thing, as evidenced by the action-packed third-person shooter Max Payne 3, which, after two previous games in the series, once again drops embattled, world-weary, former NYPD detective and DEA agent Max Payne into a whirlwind of bullets, betrayal and painkillers. Welcome back, Max.
