Take the twitch out of platforming with
Bump, a delightful new little turn-based randomly-generated roguelikelike by clever game dev and creative fellow
Aaron Steed. Jump at or on or over things! Collect diamonds with head-bumping! Avoid and/or destroy spikes and bad guys! Try not to die! Die anyway! It's a good time.

If Doom and Nethack lived in Estonia and had a baby, it'd be named
Teleglitch, a recently released pixelated action roguelike that will completely murder you if you're not
very careful about how you explore its procedurally-generated corridors, fighting off former coworkers, crafting spare parts into new stuff and hunting for ammo and food and clues as to what the hell went so terribly wrong at the Militech R&D facility on Medusa 1-C. The game has a 4-level
demo (Windows and Linux,
Mac too apparently) which will probably kick your ass plenty all by itself.

The 80s horror film genre called, and then you got a beep and turn-based squad tactics video games were on the other line, and it was a pretty confusing phone call basically but in the end you got the message that someone wanted
Camp Keepalive back. Because it is awesome. And it runs on Windows
and OSX and you should download the demo right now.

A day before her 32nd birthday, Jill Brzezinski-Conley was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a double mastectomy. She's now 35, and her cancer has metastasized to terminal, stage-4. Sue Bryce won Australian Portrait Photographer of the Year in both 2011 and 2012, and last year's prize was a one-person trip to Paris. After hearing her story, Bryce took Brzezinski-Conley with her to the City of Light for a photo shoot and brought along a videographer. The resulting short film: "
The Light That Shines." (Also on
Vimeo.)
Photos.
(click the open magazine at the top of the page). The video and photos both show a topless Ms. Brzezinski-Conley, and may be
nsfw.
