It’s the battle of the blogs this week as your hosts are joined by the esteemed Nick Chester, Editor in Chief of Destructoid . We discuss the recent release of Rock Band 2 and how it holds up versus the original and the upcoming Guitar Hero World Tour. But we don’t just talk about Rock Band! Okay, we talk a lot about Rock Band. But! We also discuss storytelling in co-op games, reinventing classics and why more "realistic" games made today may not stand the test of time, and Netflix origami! In addition, this podcast marks the premiere of our brand new theme song courtesy of the masterful Tettix , tunesmith extraordinaire. We also read your mailbag questions and announce a new contest. Don’t miss it!

Today on Offworld From: feeds.boingboing.net Post Date: 2008-11-19 16:10:25
Today Offworld got an exclusive sneak peek at the awesomely retro-futurist super HYPERCUBE, a game by Montreal art collective Kokoromi and developer Polytron that uses both red/blue anaglyph glasses and Johnny Lee-style Wii-mote head-tracking to play a stylishly minimalist block game inspired by the infamous "human Tetris" Japanese gameshow video. The game makes its debut tonight at Montreal’s Society for Arts and Technology (the SAT), so head down if you’re in the area. We also mapp... more

It used to be that hammering out a paper was just that, a tactile bout between man and machine. Each hammer fall a satisfying CHUNK as part of either a slow paper tattoo or furious ink-spraying staccato.

Progress was ripped from rubber rollers to be tempered in cool ai... more
HBO’s new series True Blood is up and running: a campy, raunchy, unexpectedly hilarious look at vampires in rural Louisiana. I’m not an HBO series watcher in general, but when I found out this particular show was based on the Southern Vampire novels by Charlaine Harris, I became curious. So in preparation, I decided to have a look at the written series first, the better to point out flaws such as bad casting and altered storylines (one of my snobbier traits, born out of Book ... more
