If you like u2 AND getting trolled this is the podcast for you.  I'd recommend starting at the beginning and following through the whole beautifully frightful journey.

Holiday Steam Sale Aftermath

It's that time of year when I am deciding which games that I bought on sale from Steam that I am actually going to play...
So far I've dabbled in Undertale; Axiom Verge; Invisibles, Inc.; and Shadowrun Returns and I have Grow Home that I didn't touch because I would have needed to dig out a controller.  I enjoyed the time I've spent on each of those games so far but none of them seem to be pulling on me to keep going at the expense of the others.  The other game that I bought on Steam Sale was Shadows of Mordor.  That game is an incredible iteration on the Rocksteady Batman franchise gameplay that has great innovative elements and is tuned to near perfection.  I played it obsessively until well after I had beaten it and unlocked everything.  I uninstalled it because I couldn't stop playing it!  What should I play next?

Amazon Lumberyard

Another hat in the ring of game development frameworks and engines.
http://aws.amazon.com/lumberyard/
Appears to be based on Crytek and offer "easy" AWS and Twitch integration.
GamesJimMade is watching!  I did not find the installation experience especially compelling.

Battleheart Legacy

This is good.  If you have room for a high quality iOS rpg this is what you need.
Well worth the 5 dollars.
