The legendary Chicago,IL-based Articles of Faith have released a new video from their upcoming album, New Normal Catastrophe. Earlier this year, they announced that they will reunite for the first time in 25 years to record the new EP and also to perform at the forthcoming Riot Fest 2010. The band, which will feature all original members, will be recording at Chicago’s Million Yen Studios for release on Alternative Tentacles Records on October 5th.
Jimmy’s Vendetta will take players into an alternate perspective of the mob through the eyes of Jimmy, a mercenary. Jimmy is the guy the other guys call when they need to finish the job.
Today we’re excited to bring you a stream of Parts, the new album from Denver, CO’s The Gamits. Parts is the band’s first post-reunion album, and their first new material since 2004’s Antidote. The record is a joint release between Suburban Home Records and Paper and Plastick.
A Zoë Mode production for the video game charity initiative OneBigGame, Chime pits gamers against the melody in an all-new puzzle experience. Place blocks against the clock, complete solid quads and try to cover the whole playing surface, all the while remixing and embellishing pieces by musicians from across the planet. And you get to feel good about yourself, too: The console version of Chime was originally developed for OneBigGame with all the developer’s royalties going to Charity for sales up to June 2010, and Zoe Mode will continue to donate a proportion of its royalties (equivalent to 5% of purchase price) for sales of the Steam version. OneBigGame always aims to donate a minimum of 80% of all donations to its charity partners Save the Children and the Starlight Children’s foundation. SourceContinue reading Chime Released on Steam→
Updates to Puzzle Quest 2 have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:
Hero selection – the first hero that appears in the hero select screen is now the hero you were last using in quest mode
Chasm spell text updated
Extra hero info in inventory – when you mouse over the portrait in the inventory, a tooltip appears to show you the stats you can’t normally see
1600×900 & 1024×600 resolution support added
Steam button – selecting the Steam button on the main menu gives you the option to view achievements, stats, the official group, and the PQ2 steam forum (must have Steam Community In-Game enabled)
Treasure Grab! minigame loot drops have increased. Gives extra loot for matching 4/5 chests, extra loot on higher difficulty
Mod support added
Fix for the “Royal Door” quest door – the pathfinding sent the player to the wrong door, this is now fixed
Gem dragging ability – added the ability to drag gems to move them
Updated directx web installer – fixes issues on windows 7, the game wouldn’t install correctly with the old directx installer
Fixed issues with hint arrow – the hint arrow would appear in some cases when it was turned off mid-battle
Balanced the Assassin spell ‘Weaken’ – gave it a two turn cooldown and increased the cost from 5 Yellow to 5 Yellow and 4 Green
‘Completionist’ achievement counter fix – the achievement was working, but the counter displayed on the user’s achievements page wasn’t updating
‘You’re doing it wrong’ achievement fixed – it was counting the molten metal and hammer of the righteous weapons when it shouldn’t have
‘Hold the Line’ spell fixed – it wasn’t correctly giving immunity to Fear
Poisons of the same kind (but with varying rarity and/or race) were stacking – poisons stacking with two varieties of the same base type was never intended and was removed. eg. You can now stack Wyvern with Manticore, or Manticore with Arachna, but not Wyvern with Wyvern, or Manticore with Manticore.
Updated FMOD version
Item drop tables tweaked – players will see less Normal, Fine and Masterwork grade items as they get deeper into the game. They’ll see more Legendary and Epic items instead
Hello everybody and welcome to Navel Gazing: your look back at the week in Punknews. I’m Adam White and I’ll be your guide through some of the most popular, notable, and otherwise attention getting stories of the past seven days. Each and every Punknews story is built from tips contributed by you fine folks, and here’s what got the community talking this week:
We Are The Union hit a moose with their van while touring Canada, setting off an unfortunate chain of events that lead to further accidents and a death. The band’s van was totalled but they escaped unharmed.
Epitaph Records will release the soundtrack to the upcoming Jackass 3D film.
With that we hand over this Sunday evening to you, the Punknews community. From that glorious, likely bearded rabble we’ve see the creation of everything from message boards and Punknews fantasy sports leagues to even a band or two. So talk amongst yourselves and we’ll see you Monday… SourceContinue reading Navel Gazing for September 5th, 2010→
We’ve got some more details regarding the accident involving We Are The Union and a moose that happened in Saskatchewan early yesterday morning. After our story was posted, we found out that the animal was knocked into the adjacent lane of traffic after being hit by the band’s van, setting off an unfortunate chain of events that saw a pickup truck collide with the moose, ejecting both passengers from that vehicle and killing one of them. Vocalist/guitarist Reed Wolcott left a comment on our original post, explaining the scene:
“Well, right after the wreck, the moose was in the right lane and we were in the shoulder. We sat there for 1 or 2 minutes in disbelief, then after seeing two cars and a semi hit the carcass and almost wipe out, Matt grabbed a flashlight and started signaling cars to get over into the left lane. We managed to get everyone to move over and slow down until the pickup came along. Matt tried to signal it with a flashlight to get over and slow down, but they must have been going 20 over. They hit it and spun 180 degrees, slid across both lanes, hit the grass median and started rolling. Some of the other guys saw two bodies fly from the truck. A bunch of us ran over to see if they could help, I grabbed a flashlight and spent the next 20 minutes trying to convince myself that the screams I was hearing from the wreck weren’t coming from a person, signaling cars to get in the right lane until the police showed up to block the freeway.
We appreciate everyone helping us out with donations to get us back on our feet and the sympathy, but the only tragedy here is the two people who lost a family member this morning. We’re all okay, trying to figure out a way to continue the tour. Don’t worry about us. Worry about them.”
Detroit, MI’s We Are The Union hit a moose while driving through Saskatchewan early this morning, totaling their van. The band was en route to Regina as part of their current tour of Canada alongside Strung Out, Rufio and Larry and His Flask.
