Fantastic Neighborhood 66: Xbox One versus one hundred

Published on May 22, 2013 by in Episodes

Megacity1You know this episode is all Xbox One. It had to be. We get a very special call from some very special time travelers who had/have/will have some predictions about the console. Is it always on? Is there a bald explosion? We’ll answer these questions and more when we open our “sealed envelope” predictions and face palm with how wrong we are/were/will be. Shit. Time travel is confusing.

Besides that, we wrap up the Duke Nukem Forever Game Club. Thank goodness.

Next week’s Game Club will be the first third of The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay.

As always, you can reach us at letters@fantasticneighborhood.com, or by calling 720.HOODIE.6 (720.466.3436). Follow FredJon, & the show on Twitter, and like us on Facebook. If you’d prefer to get us on Tumblr, we are there.

Kickstarter Roundup: Hurry The Hell Up Edition

Published on May 6, 2013 by in Articles

This week’s theme is hurry up and fund these projects. That goes for last week, too; most of them are in danger of missing their funding goals.
 

Pick of the Week

GTFO: A Film About Women in Gaming
Ends May 10 (Hurry Up!)

Believe it or not, people who play games online can sometimes be hostile towards others. Female gamers can take the brunt of this abuse. If this comes as a shock, you might be part of the problem. At last year’s PAX East, I attended the panel for Fat, Ugly, or Slutty and while the content wasn’t surprising, it was no less disgusting. GTFO aims to bring some of the repulsive online behavior to light in a documentary film. I’m sure the horrible comments and harassment that Anita Sarkeesian faced, but the filmmakers deserve our support. Read more…

Kickstarter Roundup: Not Exactly “Weekly” Edition

Published on April 29, 2013 by in Articles

Weekly turned into monthly, but welcome back for another roundup of Kickstarter campaigns.

Pick of the Week (Month)

Among the Sleep
Ends May 18

Among the Sleep is a first-person horror adventure game. Where you play as a two-year-old baby. Holy crap, this could be terrifying. Listen back to our game club sessions of Amnesia, and you’ll see that I might not react well to horror experiences, but I’m really interested in this take on the genre. Half of good horror or suspense can be perspective, and children simply see the world differently. Color me intrigued.

Kickstarter Roundup: Retro & Bros Edition

Published on March 28, 2013 by in Articles

Welcome to the first installment of what will (hopefully) be a weekly roundup of notable Kickstarter projects. Some of these will be of admittedly dubious quality, but sometimes you have to roll the dice. Without further ado, my weekly picks:

For Realzies Picks of the Week

Revive Retronauts
Ends April 21

Retronauts is a podcast about old games. That’s it. If you want to hear about warm childhood memories, or live vicariously through the rich kids who had Genesises AND SNESes, this is the show for you. The long-running show was cancelled due to the demise of 1Up, but they’re coming back and coming back big.
