A
new video on
wollay's
blog shows of
Cube World an upcoming voxel-based adventure/RPG. This
looks pretty ambitious for a small indie project, and while there's a clamor
from followers for its release, the
Cube
World FAQ indicates that this does not yet have any projected release date.
The FAQ also fills in other blanks, including how this is coming to Windows and
OS X, will offer multiplayer support, and will not be free. Thanks Acleacius via

A post on
Joe's Security Blog outlines an exploit found in
The Elder Scrolls V:
Skyrim that could be used to crash Bethesda's RPG sequel. Far from being
restricted to that game, word is this can be found in every Elder Scrolls game
since
Morrowind, and the author states: "I’m certain the same
vulnerability lies in Fallout 3 and Oblivion however I was too lazy to install
to show you all, but you get the idea." The good news is that this would not be
an easy vulnerability to exploit, particularly since none of the effected games
is played online, but the author expresses concern this could show up in
The
Elder Scrolls Online: "This online capability might just make remote
exploitation of my 0day feasible. Why? If the same vulnerability is present in
Morrowind released in 2002 is still present in Skyrim (released 2012), the odds
are in my favor that the same vulnerability will be in the latest game release."

Licio Lucchesi once told Michael Corleone "It's not personal, it's only
business," but there is a personal element to the
report on Polygon saying Double Fine wants to acquire back the distribution
rights for Costume Quest and Stacking, with studio head Tim Schafer telling them
of the developer's "emotional attachment" to the games. The studio owns the IP
for each game, so sequel are not a problem, but Nordic Games secured the
distribution rights for the originals in the THQ fire sale. "It's not, like, a
lot of money; it's mostly for us to just tidy up things," Schafer told Polygon.
"And also an emotional attachment — more of a mission of Double Fine to own
everything that we make. It's, like, this loose end that kind of bothers me that
we'd like to tie up."
The Hawken website has an article with details on a new
Facility Update that's now live, adding customization choices to this
free-to-play mech combat game. Word is: "pilots have six more camouflage paint
jobs to choose from, a new cool thruster, and a must-have repair drone. Plus,
holo-taunts just got bigger and better." This is accompanied by
this post with
a new
trailer showing off the new "Facility" map that's also part of the new
patch. Thanks

Hey all you mothers... happy Mother's Day, okay? Here at the BlueTower it will
be godmother's day, as the MrKawfy family is dropping by for a cookout, so we'll
get to see our awesome godchildren. And I want to play up the godmother's day
part, just so I can make a corresponding big deal about godfather's day, and
then take advantage of that to take care of the heads of the five families. Hmm,
seems I've gone a little off-track here... oh yeah, we're looking forward to
seeing the kids and our compadres, and happy Mother's Day to all.
