The awesome team over at CouchAthletics recently asked us for an interview and who are we to refuse an opportunity to share the glory of Slam Bolt Scrappers? Nick from CouchCast was a great host and let us follow all the wild tangents we could come up with. More importantly, we talked about the ins and outs of our game, how we came upon the concept, and got Nick thoroughly excited, as you should be.

You can listen to our interview here or check out the full podcast.

You might have noticed that we mentioned E3. Expect some big news over the next week! In the mean time, bask in the glory of the above picture.

Video games are fun, fast paced affairs in colorful worlds radically different from our own with fantastic challenges and amazing scenery. At least, MOST video games are like that. And then there’s Every Day the Same Dream, by Molleindustria (the same guys that did the McDonald’s video game, which is probably deserving of its own post). EDtSD is very different from your typical video game fare; in it you play as a worker in a factory looking for some meaning in life. The game is slow, the colors are drab, the action is uninspiring, and the goal unclear. But the game really shines as an analogy for what life can be like, and is definitely worth playing through until the end. Go give it a shot!

Oh, and this game is totally ert.

I play multiplayer games all the time. While I’ve messed around with the odd MMO or two here or there (anyone else still play Starport GE?) most of the multiplayer games I go for are 2-4 player local affairs; I’m not even sure I can count how much time I spent playing Jason Miller’s Golden Eye and getting my ass kicked by his brother Greg. But I never really got into the remote networked games as I’m too into trash talking people in the room.

What about you? How many of you play non-MMO games networked online against people in other parts of the world? And what games do you play? I’m guessing TF2, Mario Kart, and Starcraft are big. Anything else? Little Big Planet, maybe? Or Rock Band? I’d love to know who plays what games, and how often. Jump in the comments and let us know!
