Wow. Four episodes. Why, it seems like only a couple of months ago when we debuted Bit Transmission. It’s been a wild and crazy ride so far, that much is certain. My goodness, though! Four episodes! Actually, that’s not really all that impressive now that I give it some serious thought. I suppose the only thing to do would be to record more shows, which is exactly what we intend to work on this weekend....

It really is that simple for the genetically blessed – if you look great, you’ll get paid to do simple/easy/stupid things. The proof lies in this ‘making of’ for acommercialin Japan for Sega’s 15th anniversary ofPuyo Puyo!. Japanese mega-modelYuri Ebiharahas sold countless digital cameras for Fujifilm andshrimp fillet sandwiches(and they’re absolutely delicious) for McDonald’s, and recently she’s getting paid to push PSP and DS games. While we realize the that ‘making of’ clip is edited down, it couldn’t have been much more complicated than it looks....
I think Dale pretty much summed it up regarding MAGFest X which wrapped up yesterday: it was definitely thebest yet, and neither of us want to wait for next year. The highlight wasFinal Fantasycomposer Nobuo Uematsu’s band, the Eartbound Papas, taking to the stage on Saturday night andbringing down the house. Now that the event is over, we were able to catch a moment with Uematsu himself to allow him to reflect on their performance and MAGFest overall....
For free of course Right now,you’re able to grab the free fangameMega Man: Super Fighting Robot, from developer MrWeirdGuy. You can count on it playing similar to the original 8-bit series, but with a ton of secrets, a few difficulty modes, and RPG-like elements. More bonus content is in development, including a possible Shovel Knight fight, pictured above. For the most part I enjoyMega Manfan creations, so I’ll give this one a shot after I’m done with some review work....

Ryu, Chun-Li, Luke, and Guile have already been completed, donning their slickSF6looks, while Ken is currently in development — though another modder, xHECZx, has seemingly beaten them to the (Dragon) punch....

Keep the tradition alive There’s anewly-updated versionof theUnreal Tournamentpre-alpha with a Big Head mutator and, jeez, how the heck do I keep forgetting this is in production and alsofreely playable? Lookin’ good. Epic Games and community creators have been toiling away for almost two years now. This week’s update is centered on the icy deathmatch map “Chill,” which has undergone another visual pass. you may see how that’s coming along in this gameplay trailer and some screenshots (that, uncompressed, filled my SSD because I’m apparently not mindful of these things any more)....
Early axis Early Access. Everyone’s doing it. Microsoft just announced theXbox Game Previewat E3. Nintendo’s Damon Baker toldPolygon, “We don’t have anything to announce, but I can say that we’re certainly exploring options and capabilities.So anything is possible.

If you’ve downloaded one of these demos, you’ll get 15% off the game at launch....

Following the recent release of both the1070 and 1080, the hardware manufacturer just announced something a bit more mid-range: The GeForce GTX 1060. The nitty gritty on the 1060 is that it uses the new GP106 chip (both the 1070 and 1080 are built on the GP104), and ships with 1,280 CUDA cores and 6GB of GDDR5 VRAM....
