Extraordinary A Collection of Retro Portal 2 Posters | Oh crap, I skipped a day of Portal 2 related content this week? Well I suppose I’d better make up for it by posting a whole damn gallery of the stuff. But seriously, this poster series is definitely worth featuring, and contains some really cool designs by Flickr-ist wd.farmer. Most of them are from the section of the game where *spoilers* you descend to the depths of Aperture and discover Cave Johnson’s lost scientific playground. Ten games that make you think about life At the start of this year, we decided to come up with a list of Flash casual games with a philosophical bent. To be honest, we struggled. After days of research, we could only find a handful of games that had the thought-provoking depth we were looking for. Our list (which you can view by clicking here) was therefore only five games long. Fast forward to now, and it is remarkable how much difference a few months can make. Thanks to the work of pioneers like Daniel Benmergui, Gregory Weir and PixelAnte, there is now an abundance of clever arty Flash games to pique our intellects, and as a result creating this follow-up list of games that make you think has been a doddle. In a wonderful twist, it seems it is the Flash gaming space - until now known more for the throwaway nature of its games rather than depth - that is leading the way in this exciting new area of gaming, as we hope the following games prove. 1Immortall The game starts with you crash landing on a planet. 2Loved 5Coma 6Loondon

Dead Rising's time-based missions pretty much ruin the game, the weapons are essentially pointless and the fighting mechanics are so primitave that it feels like it should have been released on the n64. On top of that the zombies are slow, stupid, and act more like an environmental hazard than a wave of enemies. It always put me to mind of running through a lava level in metroid without your viara suit. Left 4 Dead sucks because zombie games are supposed to be about the melee weapon experience, and fast moving zombies combined with nothing but firearms made the game indistinguishable from any generic fps. The good zombie games are resident evil 4 and (to a lesser extent) 5.... and that's about it.

In the past week, we’ve been talking over e-mails with Blake Boston, also known as Scumbag Steve on the Internets. Based on a Myspace picture of Blake taken circa 2006, the image macro series quickly thrived into everyone’s favorite joke about “that guy” who’s fading away in our memories of high school years, still blasting that mix CD out of his souped up Honda in school parking lot (even though he was expelled years ago). Interview Q: What is your real name, age and what are you up to these days? A: My real name is Blake Boston, I’m 21. Q: Where did the image come from? A: Those pics on Myspace are all from my mom. Q: When and how did you find out about the meme? A: Who the fuck knew what a meme was? Q: Scumbag Steve jokes often involve “high school d-bag” stereotypes, which seems to be the main appeal of the meme. A: A scumbag. A: Sucks man. Q: So you’re from Boston. A: Nope. Q: Tell us a bit about BeanTownMafia.
