BeamNG Racing Game Alpha

The BeamNG Store offers sales of BeamNG, an indie sandbox racing game that's still in the alpha testing stage (thanks Sugarmanb). Those who purchase it can get the alpha right away as well as the beta and release version when they are available. Word is the final game will include six environments, five vehicles, and full modding capability. If purchasing the alpha seems too risky, a playable tech demo is also available. This trailer shows off the game, suggesting the object of the game is to hit obstacles, rather than avoid them. Continue here to read the full story.

Dungeonforge Crowd-Funding

A new Indiegogo campaign seeks funding for Dungeonforge, a free-to-play action/RPG that developer Collective Dream Studios hopes to develop with the community's help, not just in funding, but in content creation. Here's an explanation: "Dungeonforge is a free to play RPG where the community drives the content. We provide a dungeon and quest creation system, a rich gameworld for community content to exist in, and insane, action RPG combat with some innovative twists thrown in for maximum freshness. Dungeonforge is built on two main premises, that great gameplay, first and foremost, makes great games and that community created content makes the gaming world go ’round." This video offers an overview and this one outlines how their dungeon creation system will work. There is also a Steam Greenlight campaign underway for the project.

Out of the Blue

I'm guessing a lot of you are as excited as I am over tonight's return of Breaking Bad. There are mixed feelings involved in this, since there are only eight episodes left, but having a planned story arc and executing it properly is a rare thing in television, and it's this focus that puts BB in the discussion of greatest dramas in TV history. Besides, the alternative is to keep milking a show until it jumps the shark, and nobody needs that.
