Games tweets a release date for the first episode of their
Game of

HARDOCP). They say the Window and OS X editions are due next week along with
some of the console versions. Set your hashtag shields to full and read on:

The Croteam fans at
Seriously!
have posted
a new video
showing off the editor for
The Talos Principle, and how it can be used to
create new maps from scratch for this action/adventure that's due next month.
The clip is time condensed to show the entire four-plus hour process, so it only runs about 35 minutes, and the accompanying notes explain that the whole
thing would be half as long if the author "didn't choose to do the cliffs."
Those interested in the game can check out the
recently
released Public Test
and the game is
available
for pre-purchase in advance of its planned December 11th release.

Steam News announces the
release of the
Assassin's
Creed Unity Revolutionary Armaments Pack on Steam, new DLC for their
action/adventure sequel. The pack adds six weapons to the game, but its release
as this point is a little surprising, as Ubisoft is still working on recovering
from the
game's
rocky launch. Here's word:
Arm yourself for the revolution!
This weapons pack includes 6 powerful new weapons for your master assassin:
- The Pitcairn Putnam Pistol
- The Solid Long Rifle
- The Executioner’s Double-Sided Axe
- The Iron Dragoon Pistol
- The Lion’s Sabre
- The People's Bardiche
There was some drama this week with the realization that our turkey baster did
not survive past last Thanksgiving, and we had failed to secure a replacement in
the intervening year. This timely recollection struck Thursday morning, leading
to a bit of a panic for me, since my only role in the creation of dinner
(besides the Chex Mix) is as the minister of crispy skin (there is debate about
the efficacy of basting, but we have our traditions here). Sure enough, the
local supermarket was closed for the holiday, leading me to the meager cooking
aisles in our two local pharmacies. One had a display for the holiday, but no
basters. The other didn't even have the token display, but the woman who worked
there cleverly produced a fairly large needle-less syringe which cost all of two
dollars. This served admirably in its role as a substitute baster, which makes
sense, as there is a tendency to refer to these things as turkey basters even
when used as intended in the world of medicine. I even avoided making any
insemination jokes along the way, as the process was about good flavor, not bad
taste.
