LOL WUT: Dreamkiller out now on Steam, still confuses me

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think I saw what appears to be an acid/vomit-covered woman with long arms firing a gun, which seems way too heavy for her frame, at Medusa-looking creatures. Am I missing anything? A little odd, even by my bizarre standards. Oh wait, I forgot —Dreamkilleris a gameabout a psychologistentering her patients’ minds to confront (re: mutilate the s**t out of) their inner demons. In other words, the action is all taking place in a setting void of real life rules, so anything goes....

Ninja Chowdown proves running doesn’t always lead to weight loss

Get ready to go nuts… With its origins in titles likeNom,Canabalt, andTemple Run, the auto-runner is one of the most reliable genres you’re able to find on mobile devices.

Ode to Wetrix

Sonnet #2 To start the land is purely plain and flatBut earthy blocks then fall down from the skyTake care in where they are placed on the matMake sure you never build it up too high Construct containers for the coming stormBut too much land can cause the earth to shakeThe levees crumble, break, and lose their formAnd liquid spills from what was once a lake Not all is grim in this uncanny landThe architects with great skill and some luckCan craft a lake with wit and agile handSo deep it summons bobbing rubber duck...
