Author: We’re on vacation this week! So no podcast but we’ll be back next Monday.
Happy gaming!

We bought some game art to decorate our gaming area. This weekend we got them in some poster frames and put up in our gaming loft.
Here are some shitty iPhone photos.

Those of you who spent the weekend Tokyo drift-racing your way to a rap battle—or whatever it is people do when they go outside on the weekend—probably feel pretty good about yourselves right now. At the end of the day, though, what do you have to show for it? Vague memories of changing lanes. Twenty-five of the people who wisely chose to stay home and craft items, on the other hand, now have shiny new ultra-rare golden wrenches that they can keep. For a weekend? No. For a lifetime. Eat it, drift-racers. Eat all of it.
Luckily for you wrenchless unfortunates, there’s still time to get one. A further 75 golden wrenches can be found through crafting all this week*. We’ll also be teasing Engie’s new weapons (the first of which, the revenge-critting Frontier Justice, is currently on display)—with all of this culminating in the long-awaited Engineer Update this Thursday!**
*Note that we’ve disabled the Smelt Reclaimed Metal & Smelt Refined Metal recipes. They’ll work again once the Engineer Update goes live.
**Also note, wrenches can be found up until the 100th wrench has gone out. There is no per-day limit on the number of wrenches found, and distribution has been designed to be fair to all timezones. Every 25th wrench found will result in the release of more information on the Engineer Update.
Look here for the Engy Comic.
Seems today was update day for Steam and Team Fortress 2.
Check out the following links for info.
Big savings on a different EA game each day this week. Check it out.
Monday’s game: Crysis and Crysis: Warhead
Gordon Freeman is the greatest video game character ever…….at least that’s what Empire thinks as they have just published their list of 50 Greatest Video Game characters. Mr. Freeman takes the plaudits away from ‘best character’ stalwarts like Mario, Link and Sonic in a poll that is sure to get you all talking and debating.
Mario finished 2nd, System Shock’s Shodan 3rd, Planetscape: Torment’s Nameless One in 4th and Lara Croft in 5th.
The top ten is completed by Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII), Lemmings (Lemmings), Master Chief (Halo), Guybrush Threepwood (Monkey Island) and Link (The Legend of Zelda).
Solid Snake came in 19th (He should have been in the top 5 IMO)
Read the whole list here. Congrats to Gordon. I’d ask him to say a few words about his win, but as you know, he’s not exactly the talkative or loquacious type.
