Friendly Fire

Space Invaders chess set

This could fall into “things I don’t/shouldn’t care about” territory in so many ways. It’s a chess set, for one, and I don’t know how to chess.

It’s also a Kickstarter, and it’s probably in danger of being shut down by Taito/Square at any moment, at which point the authentic Invader shapes will probably replaced with knockoffs.

But look at the thing! If you want to pledge money toward one of these laser cut Invader chess sets, it’ll cost you $40, or $50 with the board. $20 gets you one of each character.

Borderlands 2: Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt DLC releases January 15 

2K Games has revealed new details about upcoming Borderlands 2 expansion Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt.

Metal Gear Solid, Revolver Ocelot boss fight, by anmeldungscrack.

Metal Gear Solid. That is such an awesome Game. So much love for detail. Maybe the best 8€s  i’ve ever spent.

It really is a hell of a game, and this fight was a pain in my ass the first couple of times.  And as much as “run in tight circles with slightly clunky controls” was not a particularly fun setup to deal with, I love that the fight came down tactically to Dirty Harryism in practice: in all that excitement, you’d better not lose count of how many shots he’s fired.

It is time for my annual holiday Pyro
