News & Views
10/8/16-10/14/16

This dark, rainy Friday is a perfect endnote for a spooky October week. I’ve been plugging away at my Scare Fest 2016 list, now with over 10 movies seen and reviewed. Snuggle & Scream podcast made its Season 2 debut this week, in which Justine and I got to discuss Hush. We’re ever slowly creeping towards Halloween and I couldn’t be more excited.

News & Views collects the week’s best gaming and gamedev writing and puts it all into one convenient place. Check out the links below for stories about the geography of a MOBA battleground, how Thumper is a unique blend of rhythm with horror, the tale of a self-destructing game from the 1980’s, and a chronological look at the origin of Japanese role-playing games.

And of course please check out the brand new episode of The Impact Factor podcast that was posted today! You can subscribe to the podcast on iTunes, or if you prefer other methods, check out our SoundCloud. We’re on YouTube too!
