- Attract Mode – Life Meter 1I think Miguel Sternberg of spookysquid said he has a piece in here! Edit: No he didn’t
- .tiff – PixelJam and James Kochalka unite for a Glorkian Warrior gamenerdgasm
- Kotaku – Mile Marker 21: Owlboy – Igf 2010A nice little interview with the team behind ‘Owlboy.’ What’s that you say, dev team? Playable by March? You better not be pulling my leg like last time.
- Gamasutra – Features: The Dust of Everyday Life: The Art of Building CharactersThe reigning king of in-game suspense/horror goes deeply into what makes his games tick.
- Player’s Pulse – "Perfect Strangers" custom arcade stickThe trouble with rooting around Tumblr is, it’s practically impossible to source these types of things. I had hypothesized that this custom controller was the unholy result of Arcade-in-a-Box, but I’ve now learned that it appeared at last year’s Season’s Beatings IV event.
- Player’s Pulse – Unused Concept Art for Bioshock 2Here is some long-lost concept art. What an exciting find! Inexplicably, this character was never introduced in BioShock 2 (roffle).

Sadly I’m not in Vol. 1 of Life Meter, only Vol. 2. That said volume 1 is full of awesome stuff including a great series of Resident Evil 4 shorts by comic artist Faith Erin Hicks (Zombie Calling, Demonology 101), I think it also has a multi-page epic Burgertime comic (now there’s a fandom niche!).
Sorry! I was spreading misinformation and I didn’t even know it.
