May 13, 2013 – 00:20 |

They didn’t think Flynn’s brother Burton had PTSD but that sometimes the gone haptics would glitch him, they said it was like phantom limb, ghosts of the tattoos he had worn in the war, put there to tell him when to run, when …

LINKBOX: 2011 October 22 (i am the swarm, vengeance shall be mine)

Submitted by damage on October 22, 2011 – 16:50

With BlizzCON on our backs, new SC2/D3 content is trickling out, even more thirsty for new hack’n'slash stuff (just reviewed Rage and Dark Souls for the november edition of Mondo, was completely unsatisfied with the former, nothing but a fortunate mixture of Borderlands and Fallout, and Dark Souls is just pure unadulterated frustration, Torchlight II is not even out yet so it’s either Dungeons of Dredmor or nothing). Heart of the Swarm? Might need a hook back into the Starcraft universe. But it’s more like needing a Diablo III collector’s edition and that’s the only physical game I’m leaving the country with mid-2012. Oh yes. This is a brief game-only post. Have a nice weekend.
