News::Dungeon Dashers Preview by The Black Panel

The Black Panel writes: One great thing about the indie scene is the prominence of games that never try to be what they arent. Instead of opting for mass-market appeal, small (and sometimes solo) teams will make a title that appeals to a specific type of gamer and never deviates from it. Dungeon Dashers is one such game.

By avoiderdragon:The open beta of this game had been previously reviewed here, and it was quite promising. Now that it has been fully released as a finished product, Grinding Gear Games seems to have come full circle with Path of Exile. However, its their ongoing development and support that makes this game a hit in the MMO world.

USG - "The term "roguelike" is rapidly becoming one of those descriptors that has been used so much it's lost its meaning. In fact, I've seen a significant amount of debate on the matter on social media channels recently, with some even going so far as to suggest alternative nomenclature such as "procedural death labyrinth", which has a pleasingly defeatist ring to it."

News::The Dismal Jesters, Virt and Buddy join the cast of Lisa

Lisa (the painful, boundry-pushing RPG) really sparked conversation when we posted about it last week. It seems to have picked up quite a few supporters since then as well. As of Thanksgiving, the game has been fully funded and has moved on stretch goals. The first is for additional content starring Buddy -- the last woman alive. Should the game reach $10K, we'll be graced with the opportunity to play as Buddy as she works to discover the events that caused Lisa's world to transform into the disgusting, dismal, disturbing place that it has become.


Speaking of dismal, I'm proud to announce that Jim Sterling, Conrad Zimmerman and I will all be appearing in the game as NPCs. We'll be located in a place called Dismal Island, which will probably be a terrible place. From the looks of those silhouettes, we'll be joined by at least two other fixtures from our feel-bad comedy/videogame podcast. My bet is on Freaky Constantina and Willem Dafoe, but your guess is as good as mine. Other than what I learned from playing the demo, I don't have any inside info about Austin's plans for the game, and I want to keep it that way. I'd like to be as surprised as the rest of you the first time I boot up the game.


I'm particularly excited to discover what Jake "Virt" Kaufman will be bringing to the table. While Lisa's creator/programmer/artist will be providing most of the game's soundtrack, Jake has signed on to contribute music to the game in some capacity. What started as a small passion project from a professional martial artist is slowly turning into a star-studded extravaganza. Just goes to show what's possible when you're unashamed of your weird ideas, and are willing to put time and effort into making them a reality.

According to Adam, the AMD Kaveri A-Series would be positioned against the Core i5-4670K which is the top unlocked Core i5 Haswell part from Intel retailing currently at $225 US. AMDs flagship Kaveri APU is the A10-7850K which has been detailed here and features a total compute power of 856 Gigaflops. Compared to Intel Core i5-4670K thats a definite leap in performance but when compared in x86 performance alone, AMDs x86 enabled Steamroller cores would loose in the performance battle. This means that AMD is unable to keep up with Intel in terms of x86 performance with their new Steamroller architecture.
