E-Rekt Episode 5

Sunday, June 14 2015

What we’ve been watching:

Mr. Pickles: A surreal and dark comedy in the same vein of Squidbillies, Super Jail, and Metalocalypse.
Man Vs. Food: Adam Richman traveling across the states in an attempt to trump the fatties of America.
It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia: A comedy about a few people owning a bar in Philly and the trouble they get into.
Sense8: The series follows eight characters around the world who, in the aftermath of a tragic death, find themselves linked to each other mentally and emotionally. They can not only see and talk to each other as though they were in the same place, they have access to each other’s deepest secrets. Not only must they figure out what happened and why and what it means for the future of humanity, they must do so while being hunted by an organization out to capture, kill or vivisect them.
Goldbergs: Family sitcom comedy based on a family in the 80’s. The mother is overprotective and wants their 3 kids to be the best at everything. The father is a typical father, leaves pants at the door and watches TV. Doesn’t want to interact with kids. The Grandfather is the cool guy. Funny comedy, watch it.

What we’ve been playing:

Massive Chalice: Turn based strategy game by Double Fine, takes place over hundreds and hundreds of years.
Spelunky: Roguelike Platformer released originally on the Xbox 360, permadeath and insanely fast reflexes and senses required.
Torchlight II: ARPG built by members previously employed by Blizzard. Beautiful graphics, some steampunk thrown in, and some excellent gameplay make this a must try.
Marvel Heroes 2015: Not much to say here. 2nd anniversary offering free character.
RimWorld: RimWorld follows three survivors from a crashed space liner as they build a colony on a frontier world at the rim of known space. Inspired by the space western vibe of Firefly, the deep simulation of Dwarf Fortress, and the epic scale of Dune and Warhammer 40,000.

E3 Schedule:

E3 leaks so far:

Transformers Devastation: Elwin prayed and the game Gods answered him. It may not be a Transformers game with a deep story, but it seems like we’re going to be able to smash up one another in a cel shaded brawler. Let’s hope he prayed for some kick ass cameos and nods to go with that.

Ryu and Roy for Super Smash Bros: Speaking of brawling, looks like we have some good news for SSB fans. With the first Street Fighter crossover into SSB’s universe, seems like they wanted to play it safe and pick their mascot. The return of Roy is something I’m sure had fan boys pissing at least a little bit with his 10 second clip.

Adr1ft: Despite having an incredibly lame name (The way they spelled it at least.) Seems like we’re going to be getting a nice, immersive Experience-Genre game coming this fall. Who knows what could happen as you float through space?

PS Move 2 Outed: Sony hopes everyone forgot about the abortion that was known as the PS Move, so they’re going to push this out with Project Morpheus. Besides, what’s better than having some swinging arms to go with your VR, get pumped PS4 users.

Dishonored 2: Seems like Bethesda “accidentally” let the cat out of the bag and confirmed the sequel to Dishonored. Arkane studios will hopefully be behind this next installment of their open stealth assassination game.
