Saturday Link Roundup

Posted: 12/11/2010

What have we been talking about on Twitter this week? New Dreamcast games for one thing. Yes, they’re still making games for Sega’s unsuccessful final attempt to compete in the console war. Sturmwind is, like most new Dreamcast games, a side-scrolling shoot ‘em up. Is it also the first DC game with achievements?!

And speaking of new games, The Elder Scrolls V exists! Don’t count on a Dreamcast version, though.

The cutest thing of the week is probably Japanese video game Zombie Daisuki which features idol group S/mileage in its commercial — or CM as the cool Japanophiles call ‘em.

Delving further into S/mileage, we learn that it’s comprised of former members of pop group Hello! Pro Egg. How do they do this with English?!

On the cool front, WETA Workshop’s working Sentry Turret from Team Fortress 2 and artist Dave Rapoza’s artwork for the retail version of Super Meat Boy are currently fighting it out for the week’s most awesome creations.

If you haven’t already followed the Meat Bun Twitter account, do it now!
