I think everyone got in to the next round of ESO beta testing, considering they're trying to break a record. I went on ESO beta months ago and I honestly hated it. Not enough there for me to put up with all the price gouging they're doing. I might pick it up when they inevitably go free to play.

I was in the first few batches of ESO testing and a few afterwards. It really wasn't that great imo. The combat especially felt really shitty. I hear they fixed a lot of things recently and addressed the combat so I wouldn't say it's not worth it just yet. I do believe it'll inevitably go F2P though.

I just found the most hilarious indie game ever.

Have you ever wanted to challenge a friend to a sword fight with your dicks? Have you ever wanted to knock someone's dick off? What if you can change the SIZE of your dicks?! Oh and don't worry about graphic-ness. The game is in super retro Pong-like graphics so the R-Ratedness of it is dissolved.

So I was fiddling around in Paint.NET with my Minecraft skin that I made myself a few years ago, working on adding layers and making it more awesome for the current snapshot (and upcoming 1.8 update). I was tweaking the colours and shapes, saving and uploading, testing in-game and closing the game, tweak, upload, test, blah blah blah. Then, I remembered the super-secret settings. I played around with it, and found one that looks strangely like some 3D anaglyph stuff. I grabbed my red-cyan glasses and tested it out - nope, not 3D. Then I remembered the 3D anaglyph option in the video settings.
So I turned 3D anaglyph on, put my 3D anaglyph glasses on, and stuck my face into the monitor.
Instant budget 'Oculus Rift'.
T'was fun.

In the name of all things indie, and to celebrate the success of the Flappy Bird guy, a game jam revolving it was launched. Frankly, it was inevitable.

Although Flappy Bird is making me go nuts just because nobody will stop talking about it, I'm actually tempted to make a game for that jam.

Anyone interested in making something simple with me? We've got 12 days.

This is one of the best ones:

It's Terry Cavanaugh's entry. What happens when the creator of SUPER HEXAGON creates a game about Flappy Bird? Techno, multi-colored, high-difficulty, madness of course. I'm almost surprised Terry didn't come up with Flappy Bird first.
