Governor of Poker 2: Premium Edition on Sale for $5 (or maybe $2)

If you’re looking for some cheesy, western themed, poker playing fun, then Governor of Poker might be right up your alley. I like casual games and as you can tell I’m a fan of poker; I’m just not a hardcore poker player. I just like to play a few hands to see how things play out so to me something like Governor of Poker is the right way to go. It has a casual style and some amusing antics and gestures to keep things interesting. And what’s more, it’s not an Online only game. In fact, there is no Online. You actually have to play against the computer. That to me is a big bonus, since I just want to play, I don’t want to go out looking for players and dealing with their "personalities". I prefer to start and play a game when I’m ready. But anyway, back to the game. Besides the poker factor there is a side […]

Whips and Chains and Motorcycle Racing in Road Redemption

Do you remember the good old days of racing hell bent down the road with a lead pipe in your hand as you bash and kick you rivals in Road Rash? Do you remember it being just as important to crack your opponent in the skull as it was to reach the finish line? Do you remember weaving wildly back and forth only to smash headlong into a parked car? Do you remember that classic game that EA published back in 1995? One of the few motorcycle racing games that I’ve played and actually enjoyed. Ah yes, well those days are coming back in a new game called Road Redemption! Darkseas Games is bring to life what appears to be the spiritual successor to Road Rash with all the high speed, heavy booted fun we knew from many days past. The game has passed through a successful Kickstarted project and is now available as an Early Access beta. You can […]

Dead Man’s Draw Rises Again in Tabletop Forms in a Successful Kickstarter Project

If you remember several months ago, Stardock put together a Kickstarter project to bring their Dead Man’s Draw card game to life. It’s a nice twist on card games that’s something different from poker and is available for both iOS and PC. It was so close to succeeding, but just missed the mark which was a damn shame. And that appeared to be the end of things. Until now. Stardock has regrouped and teamed up with Mayday Games to bring it to life and onto the table. Mayday has put together a Kickstarter project that’s already funded, so the game is a reality. The only thing left to do now is try to grab a copy. There are limited edition boxes available for $20, or you buy 2 copies for $35. If you’re feeling super frisky, you can grab 10 copies for $100 ($10 per game is damn cheap). This game is a lot of fun on the tablet and […]

Well ain’t this something, Age of Empires II: HD Edition is on sale for $4.99. If you missed the Steam Summer Sale or your trying to convince a buddy to join in a game, now’s the time to pick up a copy. This is a really good deal for a game for a smash hit of a game. I’ve talked a lot about the game and you’ve seen my epic failures, but don’t let that stop you! You know, I wish they would set up some AoE tournaments like they do for Dota 2, I would love to see some teams go head to head in some town sieging action. I used to know some guys that could build and rush another civilization in 15 minutes or so. It was a little freakish! But anyway, grab a copy while it’s at this low price. If you want the full Monty then spring for the Age of Empires Legacy Bundle. This […]

Video Capture from Applian and Audials – Replay Media Capture and Audials One 11

There comes a time when you need to download and or record your streaming media. The Tour de France is a prime example. So how do you go about such an endeavor? Well, Applian Video Capture and Audials One 11 will do the trick. I’ve actually recorded every stage of the Tour using Audlais and it works like a champ. Sure, it’s a long process since you have to play the entire 5-8 hour stage, but I’m on board with that. I either watch and record or set the computer to play overnight and save my recording in the morning. So far it’s been working extremely well and once you get the right settings dialed in, it’s a one-click process. To let you in on the secret or perhaps the joke, I have the entire Applian Replay Capture Suite, the Jaksta Deluxe Bundle and Audials One 11. There’s nothing I can’t record! So why bring all this up? Both Applian […]
