Horrid Henry is now available on Steam.
Now Horrid Henry moves from the multi-million selling book series and massively successful TV show onto the PC!
Henry is a head-strong boy, constantly raging against the tyranny of adults and infuriating girls.
Henry has a range of special skills and equipment he can use during missions. His task is to dash around locations playing pranks on other characters while trying to avoid getting caught.
The fine folks over at ETF2L have launched their Highlander Community Challenge, and we’re excited to be a part of it. We’ll be giving out in-game medals to everyone who participates, so if you’ve got some friends who should stop wasting their gaming time and get to the work earning virtual goods (for you), now’s the time.
Ubercharged.net has put up their most recent Interview with a Community Item Creator, Larolaro. We love reading these, because it’s often the case that we get the best feedback when the community talks to itself, instead of when it’s talking to us.We ask for feedback on our tools all the time, and everyone’s much too nice to tell us directly that they’re like a “beautiful ornate chair with a spike carved into the seat”. Also, Hackett mentioned to us that he’s trying to get in contact with other Community Item creators, so if you’ve made something that we’ve shipped, and want to create more colorful analogies for describing our toolset, then contact him on the UC forums.

According to Alternative Press members of the band Pennywise broke into Alesana‘s van following their final show on this year’s Warped Tour in Denver. Alesana frontman Shawn Milke had this to say to AP:
Just to clear the air of any rumors, last night upon returning to our bus after a night out with friends, both our band and our tour manager were attacked blindly by by two very drunk members of Pennywise. Alesana is a non-violent band and always has been. We do not encourage or willingly participate in any violent activities. The two guys entered our bus and, without any instigating on our part, began punching us and trashing our bus. We are eternally sorry that this event took place and had it not been for the Denver police showing up and restraining our assailants, the night could have been tragic. Luckily, no one in our camp was injured.
No statement has been issued by Pennywise currently.
