You always need an ice level, andSonic Unleasheddelivers. This latest trailer shows off the Holaska stage, which looks all pretty and probably has the best music so far.

Talking to Felicia Day on the new Dragon Age II expansion

It all started with a lot of grunting, grunting that’s reminiscent of a women’s tennis match. But before the grunting, there was an ambush. Hawke, Fenris, Varric, and Isabela find themselves in another fix, surrounded by assassins in the middle of an Orlesian stronghold. Out of nowhere, a dagger hits one of the assassins square in the chest. Apparently, a mysterious stranger was watching from the roof, because all good character intros start from the roof....

Despite its simplistic visual style, The Fancy Pants Adventures is quite a lot of fun and I have a feeling that platform fans will love it....

The Journalism Show: Episode 03

Here is a thing you can watch if you want. The timing is a little weird at the very beginning because it converted that way this time for some reason. Sorry. (If our player’s sound isn’t working for you, there’s a Youtube version after the jump.) But this also marks the beginning of what you can expect from this show.
