Review: Soulworker, or, Welcome to the Grind

Soulworker is an anime action brawler, created by Lion Games and published by GameForge. Set in a post-apocalyptic purgatory, you play one of (currently) four young schoolchildren who fell from the real world into the world of Soulworker. The tutorial gives you the setting, which varies slightly for each character, and then moves you to the first hub area. From there, you begin questing so you can get gear so you can do harder quests for more gear and to progress the story, using energy every time you enter a quest area. The combat is a lot of fun, but if you're unwilling to pay - the current in-game economy is beyond ridiculous, and the premium currency is wildly overpriced - the game gets very grindy. The characters are the different classes, and the character designs are all very charming, even if they go a bit far on the 'females are to be looked at' side. There's Haru, a broadsword wielding pre-med student who is apparently allergic to things coveri...

Checker BPG prepares for launch of Superhero 2044 Kickstarter

Checker Book Publishing Group released a demo video of the upcoming re-release of the first ever superhero role-playing game, Superhero 2044. This is a remake of the original system from 1974, a game not as well known as D&D but still paved the way for other superhero RPGs such as Villains and Vigilantes, Champions, and of course, DC Heroes. And that led to superhero video games that didn't suck. Like City of Heroes/Villains and Batman: Arkham Asylum. While the Checker BPG page does seem to heavily feature large boobed women, the game supports actual diversity. It will come with hundreds of premade characters, from every race, gender, creed, and color, and they are all integrated into the game like normal people. The Kickstarter will be launched on August 16, 2017. Superhero 2044 will be both an RPG and a card game, with an expected release sometime in 2018.

My Second Thirty Seconds to Mars Concert

Are you jealous? You should be! Thirty Seconds to Mars put on awesome concerts. They do require patience, as they build to a slow burn but it explodes and stays at high energy with fantastic music. In case you live under a rock, let's start by introducing the band: Thirty Seconds to Mars is currently Jared Leto (frontman, lead singer/guitarist/songwriter, creative director) and his brother Shannon Leto (drums, rhythm, remixes, singer, songwriter, Jared's anchor). My personal head canon is that Jared, who is secretly a vampire, drains his other bandmembers and makes them retire when they are too drained, but of course they all still like him. Tomo Miličević joins Matt Wachter and Solon Bixler in retiring for non-specific but still staying friends with the Letos reasons. Okay, Matt and Solon left for health reasons and Tomo recently got married, so they probably have perfectly normal reasons for not continuing to tour, but my head canon is funnier. ...
