Magicians and Looters: Fruit Metal

"Fruit Power" remix. Further proof that Ryan's head is a fairytale land of unicorns and goblins where the mundane simply does not exist.

Full soundtrack here.

Volgarr the Viking: I Battled the Shark King Dude

I reached the level 2 boss!!!!!
This is the equivalent of speedrunning Very Hard mode on ANY OTHER GAME, so yes, I'm very proud.

Actually, I reached the level 2 boss about five times. Holy crap, he's hard.

I like how Volgarr claims to be old school hard, because it's a flat-out lie. I've never played an 8-bit game that was even half as difficult as Volgarr. It might take a few months, but I'm going to beat this son of a bitch, and then I'm going to place my PC on a viking longship, push it out to sea and set it ablaze.

Then I'll get a new PC, reinstall, and start speedrunning.

Kickstarter: Hyper Light Drifter

Damn, that's pretty.

Yet another sprite-based game that looks absolutely amazing. Why are all these great kickstarters being announced at the same time?! I can't back you all (but I'll certainly back this one).

Kickstarter: River City Ransom: Underground

A lot of this pitch is Bannon, the artist, charming the camera; but if you want the money shot then jump to 0:45. It's amazing how faithful this game is to River City Ransom, yet it looks soooo much better.

This isn't a knock-off brand. Conatus has the rights to make an official sequel to River City Ransom.


At this point, I think I've spent more money this year kickstarting games than I have buying finished products; and I have yet to regret any of it.

What the World Needs: Blade 4

Game Music: Monster Hunter Tri: Tremble of the Sea and Land

Kickstarter: Shantae 1/2 Genie Hero

Okay. Enough about MAL. I want this game!
