Tune of the Week Tuesday!

Stuck by Knuckle Puck

Not a new release, but I’ve been listening to this track a lot recently. Found out about this band from Pokemon youtuber Shady Penguin during his stream.

Tune of the week Tuesday!

The Ground Walks, with Time in a Box by Modest Mouse

There was so much good new music released today, but our favorite was for sure the new Modest Mouse album that is finally upon us.

Noah tries to prove himself in Pokemon Puzzle League and keep up with Jordan.

PAX South: Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number

    The first Hotline Miami was a game that many people enjoyed for it’s 80s saturated theme and twitch based action, and it’s sequel is looking to be just as awesome.

    Masks that give the main character different abilities make a return and  some new masks make their premier as well. In the short hands-on time I got with the game I got to try out Corey, a new zebra-faced mask that lets you do a combat roll. By pressing the X button, Corey will do a quick roll to cover ground faster or dodge a mobsters knife stab.

    Another mask I got to see was Alex and Ash. This set of swan masks actually adds a second character that you control simultaneously. One of the characters wields a default chainsaw for melee kills, while the other can only be equipped with guns. This grants the ability to both shoot from afar and take care of enemies when things get up close and personal. The only draw back is having to keep an eye on both characters while gunfire is coming from all directions.

    This game looks to take place after the events of the original, while also having some flashbacks. Hotline Miami 2 is set to come out sometime in the first quarter of 2015, and I can’t wait for more pastel drenched mayhem.

Power Item was just at PAX South in San Antonio this weekend! We played as many games as we could get our hands on, and upcoming articles this week will focus on which ones we think are worth keeping an eye on. Stay tuned!
