One More Line
One More Line is a free mobile game that has slowly taken over my life. It is one of those apps that is perfect for passing the time. Playing a round takes less than one minute. If you aren't very good at it, like me, it will take about 5 seconds.
The goal is to travel the furthest possible distance down a straight lane. There are small orbs scattered around that you must use to slingshot yourself forward. You die if you hit the walls; you die if you hit an orb. The replayability is akin to Flappy Bird. No story, just a single objective to keep trying.
What makes this game so much better than others like it is the amazing soundtrack. It's one song looped, but surprisingly doesn't get old. It probably becomes annoying for those not playing, but who cares about those jerks ? I once heard someone call the sound "futuristic space disco" and that is a fairly apt description.
The other great feature is the ability to take pictures of your run right in the app without having to take a screen shot. It will then save the picture or instantly post it to social media if you want. Why don't more games have this ?
Since it's free, just download it and save it for when you need to pass the time but might not have the attention for something difficult or story driven.
Check out some game play here.

Kevin WK Likes Dragons
If it's good enough for Kotaku then it's good enough for us. Of course I am slightly partial to Kevin's videos, probably because I live with him. But please believe me when I say that you are going to feel a lot sexier after watching this.

Hi, I'm Captain Basch From .... Where ?
Those guys from Mega64 gift the world another classic clip. As an intense fan of Final Fantasy, I found this video particularly entertaining. I hope it brightens your dreary Tuesday like it has mine.

Felicia Day Strikes Again
Felicia Day is amazing in the gamer-entertainment world. Her first show, The Guild, is a great take on what it's like to be in a very involved, very disjointed guild on an MMO. That show just wrapped season 5, and today she's posted a link that her newest venture, a take on Dragon Age: Redemption is now up. The preview video is above, and the link to the first episode is here .
Where The Guild is pure comedy gold, Dragon Age appears to be written a little darker. At the very least there's more bloodshed in this first episode than I expected. Although this new show is actually based in the game world, where Felicia's character Tallis is a warrior, versus The Guild which was just normal people playing a game.
Whatever your fancy, check out Dragon Age: Redemption and The Guild. (You can watch The Guild on their website, stream the first four seasons on Netflix, and see the latest season on Xbox's Zune app.) Felicia is gamer gold, and, as far as I'm concerned, she's an Honorary Achievo.

It is truly amazing what things people will record. This guy shows us how to make Mortal Kombat even better with his soundtrack. Thankfully, there is someone out there to keep the mood light with some well timed captions.

Introducing Delicious Fillers with Extra Fluff !
Linz and I can't always find the time to write up full blogs every day. We have decided to fill the gaps with fun tidbits. We will post videos that we like, news bites, what we are playing that day, and anything else to keep up the flow. We are also looking into guest bloggers. So if you want to write something about topic we haven't covered, shoot us a line and let us know your idea.
Sometimes, other people do stuff that is amazing and we just have to show you their genius. With that in mind, I have linked a video below that I'm sure most people have seen. If you like the game Portal, you are going love this short film interpretation. Even if you have never played Portal, the clip is still hella cool.
