Anyone familiar with this flick? Picked it up on the cheap at Walmart last night. “When the Universe decides what it wants, it’s pointless to resist”, “A cyberpunk thriller…” and “becomes a complete sensory overload”

Cyberpunk is Now?
The scene when Elliot and his sister go into the club / hacker space is EXTREMELY cyberpunk. Which is weird because it could literally be today.

Bludgeons & Krakens is described by dev Cannibal Cat Games as a “turn-based action RPG; it draws heavily from the tradition of classic CRPGs like Ultima, but blends it with the simple, loot-centric gameplay of Diablo.” (see RPG Codex thread for more: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/bludgeons-krakens-a-free-oldschool-turn-based-rpg-inspired-by-ultima-and-diablo.109786/)

Welcome to Abraxas! Unfortunately, you’ve arrived at just about the worst time imaginable. As a novice sellsword just looking for a job, you signed up with a mercenary company only to sell yourself into a land plagued by war, blight, a demonic invasion, and perhaps things even worse. I hope they pay you overtime.
-Play Your Way. Build your character from one of five classes–Fighter, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, or Druid–and customize him or her as you wish. Master weapon skills and magic abilities, upgrade your attributes, and empower yourself with mythic loot.
-Explore a Strange World. Unearth ancient secrets in every corner of Abraxas. Meet the curious denizens of the land, many of whom will seek your help. Or simply wander the land in search of your fortune.
-Fight for Survival (and Loot). Take on hordes of foes in turn-based combat. Sling spells, quaff potions, rend your enemies, and loot the bodies. When your skills are honed, seek out powerful bosses who will truly challenge your abilities.
Highlights: Veteran game designer Chris Avellone talks about the upcoming Pathfinder Kingmaker game from Owlcat Games!

Podcast for the Shane Plays radio show from 2/27/2016:
Copper Dreams & More Staglands!
Highlights: Joe and Hannah Williams of Whalenought Studios talk about their Serpent in the Staglands expansion and their new cyberpunk game Copper Dreams.
Turns out Tartuccio isn’t just a big fat jerko, he’s also a spy actively working against our mission. The mites and kobolds in the Old Sycamore area are a might testy. Nightmare wisps are a bit of a nightmare. Frog legs for dinner. Falling off of a log hurts. Bandits tend to trap the area around their camps, which can be a hot mess. More clarification in the UI on encumbrance.
