Revealing Indoor Heroes

RPG-TV is changing. Once construction is complete the ugly duckling that was RPG-TV will emerge reinvigorated as IndoorHeroes.com. Expect the change towards the end of July/begining of August.

Rockband Euro Pricing...

... is a complete piss take. It actually almost sickens me. £180 for the full (read "proper") experience. I could buy a new XBox 360 and a new copy of Gears for that price and still have enough change to ride the merry go round and buy some penny sweets for the journey home.

I read the interview over at Eurogamer and I found myself cheering internally at the moxy displayed by Ellie Gibson. Check it out...

Eurogamer: Let's pretend this is Watchdog and I'm Nicky Campbell. We've had dozens of calls and texts, alright comments on the website, and I'd like to put some of them to you. One reader says, "If I wanted to spend EUR 240 I'd buy a real instrument and join a band."

Rob Kay: So they should. Go and do that, yeah... If someone wants to go out and buy a real guitar instead, that's awesome. More power to them.

...

Eurogamer: So if you weren't working on it, if you were a plain old gamer, would you pay GBP 180 for Rock Band?

Rob Kay: Yeah. Maybe I'd try it over at a friend's first, to see if I liked it or not. Rock Band is a fantastic game for playing at a party, so lots of people will get that opportunity, and maybe they'll want to take that opportunity before they invest the money. I wouldn't blame them; it's not a cheap game, it really isn't. But it's a game that delivers that much more in terms of its fun factor and the experience it gives you.

Eurogamer: Perhaps Eurogamer readers could pop round yours to have a little go and see if it's worth it?

Rob Kay: [Laughing] Yeah, give me a call...

RPG-TV Avatar Pack Series 2

I figured we were about due for another bunch of avatars. Here's the second series so to speak, use them as you wish (though forums and messenger are recommendations). Enjoy!

Impressions: Bully Scholarship Edition

I'm 0.81% through Bully Scholarship Edition for the XBox 360 which probably doesn't give me any right to discuss it's qualities. I'm going to anyway. So far the game is a melange of frame rate issues, graphical glitches, loading screens and just poor graphics in general. I hope this patch Rockstar are working on arrives soon because I only just bought the game and, while I can tell theres a great game under the hood, I just can't get to it underneath the completely off putting frame rate and wonky camera (during indoor sections anyway).

Right. I'm gonna jump back in and update this post once I've got more of a flavor for the game.

EDIT: Right, I refuse to play any more of this title until the patch hits. Just ugh.

A more in depth look at Amy

With Amy what we really want to do is create the ultimate girlfriend, someone who'll make the readers almost wish she was real, after all, hot girls that know their games aren't exactly easy to come across. Rather than just spit out another Lilah, that is to say any girl that also likes video games, we're trying to make her sexually aware and suggestive- but in a cool gaming way.

RPG-TV: New Character

We're going to mix up the character relationships a little with a new character, Amy, who will date Seth. Old school readers might notice a similarity to an old old character... Curious?

Back when we ran a survey to gather some feedback to improve the comic a couple things you guys kept asking for was more female characters and continuing story lines. Not ones to ignore our readers this is exactly what you'll be getting.

Gears of War Ink

A friend of mine from University got this Gears of War Tattoo a while ago so I thought I'd share with the group. What do you think? Anyone else got gaming ink done?
