Kaboom Kaboom: Russians, robots, and real-time strategy

Posted Dec 14th 2007 12:00PM by Eric Caoili
Filed under: News

Russian studio Vogster Entertainment hasn't yet formally announced Kaboom Kaboom, its comedy-filled RTS title set in "a world of wise-cracking robots," but what we've picked up about the game so far sounds spectacular!

Pick-up-and-play touchscreen controls
25+ weapons
20+ level story mode
2-4 player versus and co-op modes (online play not announced)
Upgradeable robots with "distinct personalities and attitudes"
Hero characters with enhanced weaponry and skills

While we're not sure how far along Vogster is with Kaboom Kaboom's development -- no publisher has been revealed, and the artwork above is the only piece of media hitherto released -- we still have a while before the game's expected release next spring. For those wondering whether the Russian team's story and humor will translate well with American tastes, you'll be happy to hear that Vogster has been working with writers from the Spongebob Squarepants series to put together Kaboom Kaboom's script.

Tetris ice cubes for the remarkably unashamed

Posted May 31st 2007 10:00AM by Jason Wishnov

Some of us prefer to hide our geekiness, fearing a loss of social status and reduced favor with the opposite sex. Others know that such things are mere trifles, and display their dorkdom with honor and pride. For those of the latter, we would point you to a step-by-step walkthrough of how to make your very own tetromino ice cubes. Yes, it must be Tetris craft week all around the intertron.

The steps are clearly written and easy to follow, but some woodwork and silicone supplies are required. If you're a handyman (or woman), go make yourself some cubes: they'll go wonderfully with that Russian vodka. Just kidding. We mean pop.

(Punch Out!! reference FTW)

People's Mario shows us how to take out a Goomba or two

We're not sure how old this is, but we have never seen it before. As such, we're obligated to present it to you, loving readers, as not only does it present Mario in a very mature and Goomba-crushing light, it's Mario with a very non-Italian spin. And believe us when we say mature; Goombas do not just flatten when stomped, they shoot fluid out of their bodies at a high enough velocity to cut glass, we believe.

So, check it out at your own risk.
