A whole new way to get pissed over cell phones at theaters At CinemaCon, Fox has announced that it will be making a film and possibly more based on theChoose Your Own Adventurebook series. This blurs the line between film and game the same way that ’80s VCR games did, but with hopefully better results. The film will use an app called CtrlMovie to allow theater audiences to choose from a number of options at pivotal story moments, and the choice with the most votes will win....

Exclusive screenshots and details While we mentionedEscape Goat 2wasin development for PCearlier this year, GDC has provided us with our first hands-on as well as some exclusive screenshots and details about the upcoming title. For the uninitiated,Escape Goatis a fun indie puzzle title byMagicalTimeBean, the studio of one-man team Ian Stocker who handled programming, art, and music for the original game, although he’s joined by others this time around. Playing through several levels, I have to say that the new visual style provided by Randy O’Connor is great, and I love the new puzzle gimmicks including a dark stage with moving lights that provided a very frantic puzzle-solving experience....

TodayYesterdayHalf an hour ago was G4’s fifth birthday. The staff of Destructoid would like to wish the entire network a happy birthday, but unfortunately, they were in talks to merge with The FOOD Network and The Golf Channel, and we couldn’t get a hold of them. In honor of their anniversary, we bring you the above clip. Not only is it indicative of the fantastic programming they’ve been spraying all over the mouths and chins of their viewers for the past five years, it also scares off feral dogs....

The Devilish Ox is a mystery that follows you through most ofBaldur’s Gate 3, but in the early parts of Act 3, you can finally get answers. I can’t be the only one who was driven half mad by the Strange Ox that stands in the Emerald Grove when you first arrive. When I first saw the ox, I was on my first playthrough and foolishly thought I was more clever than the game....

Nominated for Excellence in Audio at the Independent Games Festival While watching this trailer forTHUMPER, a self-described rhythm violence game from current Harmonix artist Brian Gibson and former lead programmer Marc Flury, I didn’t want to blink. I also let out a confused “what?” followed by an even more puzzled “what the fuck?!” during the clip. The protagonist is a space beetle barreling down hallucinatory tracks, and I get that scraping against walls is a bad idea — but otherwise I’m not comprehending what we’re looking at here....

He cares about quality Mother 4? Not going to happen. Not with Shigesato Itoi, anyway. “Totally impossible.” Speaking toGame Watch Impress, as translated byKotaku, he said, “Among big-time pop stars, if they, you know, put out ten albums, around the fourth album, they can’t make very good songs. The albums sell, but everyone at the concerts wants to hear songs from those first three albums. Everyone.” While Itoi is best known in the West for his involvement with theMother/EarthBoundseries, his storied career extends far beyond the game industry....

37 minutes of multiplayer Rainbow Six:Siegehas somesingle-playercomponent, but the E3 reveal was multiplayer-focused, and that’s probably going to be the best bit of it. Unfortunately, the carefully manicured, staged banter of the E3 showing demonstrates what Ubisoft is trying to do withSiege, but not necessarily what it has done. This 37 minutes of multiplayer gives me a bit more faith that Ubisoft is bringing a different, welcomed multiplayer experience. Love me some no respawn, intimate battles....

And blowing up The third episode ofLife is Strangereleases this week, and it appears as if the embattled-teen story will really pick up speed with this next installment. That is, if this trailer has anything to say about it. Thus far, the first two parts ofLife is Strangehave been mostly focused onintroductionandproving that Max actually does have the power to rewind time. We’ve seen some crescendos, but they’ve been largely isolated in a sense....

Okay, are you guys ready for this? Jimmy Wong, the brother of SFX guru Freddie Wong, has conceived a new web series calledFeast of Fiction, which takes foodstuffs from fictional media and prepares them for consumption. In this first episode, Jimmy and co-host Ashley Adams prepare the Sunlight Souffle fromSkyrimusing the recipe found in-game. It actually turns out pretty nicely! I’m really excited for this show because, believe it or not, I had this same idea earlier in the year....
