The Boston Bastard Brigade chat with Matt Payne and Lerin O'Neil of Plantronics about the Gamecom Commander Headset at PAX East 2013. It's the top of the line headset that Plantronics has to offer for the serious gaming experience to close out the background noise at the tournaments, or to block out the stuff going on around your house.
In preparation for this week's upcoming live video stream of the Boston Bastard Brigade, King Baby Duck did a little test run of one of the segments of the show. The result: The LowDownload.
There's a term I've coined when it comes to surprisingly good things appearing out of thin air: the left-field advantage. This is when a product (in this case, a video game) comes out of nowhere, with its end result leaving you flabbergasted in the best way possible and the wanting to spread the word about it. As a gamer this has happened to me when playing such titles as Snoopy Flying Ace, Dust: An Elysian Tail, Wreckateer, and Jimmie Johnson's Anything With An Engine. I can now add more title to this list: Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds.
With the closing of LucasArts last week a lot of people and companies lamented on the loss of one of the most influential game makers of any generation. It is fortunate, though, that there are some out there that keep its traditional point-and-click gameplay alive and feeling anew, TellTale Games being the prime example. Some companies go even further, replicating the look and feel of those classic games.
So has anyone felt the need to play a mech game and blow some stuff up recently? Perhaps peopleĀ have noticed that there has been a lack of games like this in recent popular news, and have not been able to get their robot-killing action fix on.

Welcome toĀ HAWKEN, a free-to-play multi-player game thatĀ is designed as a fast paced mech combat game.Ā You Armored Core fans can thank me later.

Blueonic and King Baby Duck interview the Newburyport-based developers Muzzy Lane. In the past they have brought us many awesome educational games, and now they bring us the concept of being a congressmen in Government In Action.
At PAX East this past year we checked out a game that really knew how to scare the pants off of us: Outlast, the first title from Red Barrels.
A familiar scene unfolded in the opening moments of BioShock Infinite. One lone lighthouse within a vast ocean, inside a strange kind of transport that leads to a destination that is beyond your wildest dreams. This time around you aren't going down to Rapture; rather, it is the opposite. High above the clouds you soar in a rocket ship, towards what some may claim to be the next-best thing to Heaven: Columbia.
