But watch out for pirates Bossa Studios (Surgeon Simulator,I am Bread) is making an open-world MMO about building airships, flying them to floating islands, and screwing over others (probably). You interested? The developers were in town, so we sent Rey to take a look at that game,Worlds Adrift, and he put together this in-depth video with narration provided by designer Luke Williams. There’s Spider-Man-style swinging at 7:15. Ship construction, which is done by hand, starts at 10:50....

ThinkGeek is making good use of its licensing agreement with Valve by introducing ninePortal 2-themed products. We’re a little obsessed with the game as well, so it’s all good. I was quite certain nothing would top the ridiculousness of the talkingCave Johnson portrait, but we have a new king: “military-grade” shower curtains. There’s even a video demonstration! Take a look for yourself. The rest of the line-up includes a Companion Cube cookie jar, cookie cutters, bookends, an adorable plush turret, LED flashlights, and a PotatOS Science Kit....

New content still on the way Last year, Ubisoft took another stab at the Toys-to-Life market with interstellar shooterStarlink: Battle for Atlas,a rollicking space adventure that featured well-received guest appearances from Nintendo’s beloved Star Fox crew. Despite the initial hype, along with some pretty well-made physical props, sales for the new venture fell well below expectations,with theStarlinkdevelopment team announcingthat production has been halted on any further physical toys for the game or its upcoming Spring content, which was recently revealed inFebruary’s Nintendo Direct....

There should be technical terms for multiple levels of stupid, but for now I’ll just make some up: if you have to gauge the actions of the guy in this story and your choices are A Little Slow, Stone Cold Stupid, Colossal Moron and Drooling Vegetable, it would fall somewhere between the third and the fourth. What happened here is that an eighteen year old Johnson County, Indiana resident decided to announce he was planning to hijack a plane....

Gotta Drop the Block In a muddled set of circumstances, it appears that excellent arcade puzzlerTetris: The Grand Masteris to finally receive a home port. That’s according to Arika VP Ichiro Mihara, who seemingly announced the port by announcing that its announcement has been delayed… Still with me? As spotted by Nintendo Life, Miharatook to Twitter yesterdayin order to apologize for the fact that the reveal of the awesome block-busting game’s home port could not be revealed yet due to reasons beyond Arika’s control — thus revealing the existence of the home port regardless… Well, at least they got it out there....

Here’s a look It’s been known for a while thatDragon Quest Heroes IIwould have multiplayer capabilities, but actually seeing it in action is another thing. This new video from the team showcases the four player co-op element, as well as the adherence to gigantic boss encounters. It’s gearing up for a release pretty soon in Japan (May 27) so we’ll know a lot more sooner than later. The first game was pretty good, especially for a first effort, but the lack of any multiplayer functionality definitely hurt it....

If there’s demand, which there surely will be Asked ifThe Binding of Isaac: Rebirthwould have a publicly available level editor, designer Edmund McMillen responded, yeah,that might eventually happen. “The editor won’t be in a state to go public so we won’t be releasing it,” he wrote on Tumblr. However: “If we do DLC and people want it though I’m sure it will be updated, tuned, and added in as part of whatever DLC we do....

Check out everything Destructoid did today Yeah, that’s the thought I’m putting into your heads before you tell your family what you’re thankful for. One month from today, the Mayans say will be our last day here. To commemorate the event, I wrote a song about what we should do up to that moment, and did a video for it. Both are in the style of band OK GO. Today on Dtoid, Allistair outlined the 40 best deals on Black Friday, Joseph reviewedPid, Jim ended upChasing Aurora, and more happened the day before Thanksgiving 2012…...

Cocaine Cowboys and Neon Lights I still remember how the originalHotline Miamisuddenly came out of nowhere and left an incredible impression on those who took a chance on it. It was such an unusual title. Its bright, vivid visuals, along with the overhead view of the extreme violence gave it a very distinct look. And the music? I still hum Jasper Bryne’s “Miami” theme on occasion. Since 2012, theHotline Miamigames have had quite a big following, with many fans even coming up with their own interpretations for the surprisingly bizarre and cerebral storyline....

I have a lot of great memories involving LAN parties. Big games, obscure ones where I had to hunt down people to play with, creating my own CAT-5 cables from scratch that would reach long enough to hook up two Xboxes on different floors — lots and lots of memories. I’m sure these four are building new ones right now based on this awesomeMonster Hunter Worldsetup. It’s simple, but elegant. Four TVs, four PS4s, one table....

QUByte Interactivehas announcedthat their upcoming collection of theTop Racerseries has been pushed back from its January 11 release date, to the new target of March 7.

An update on the Top Racer Collection release date:#TopRacerCollectionpic.twitter.com/nmym8Pw4Ez I knew these games asTop Gear.

Seriously? According to Ubisoft France’s studio boss,Rayman Legendsis going to be a huge system seller for the Wii U, succeeding where Nintendo itself has so far failed. Xavier Poix expects the delayed platformer to work magical wonders. Poix was bigging up the Wii U toGI.biz, denying suggestions that Nintendo’s console was a disappointment. “We don’t have any disappointments compared to the installed base,” he said. “We are just hoping that Nintendo’s results for Wii U will be a bit bigger....

Oh for the love of … So, yesterday it was discovered that Ubisoft hadpatched out the online connection requirementsforAssassin’s Creed 2andSplinter Cell: Convictionon PC, marking the end of its stupid DRM that requires a constant line to the Internet in order for games to be played. Turns out Ubi isn’tquitedone with that little scheme yet. Although it has removed the ransom demands from those particular games, Ubisoft has declared that has not officially phased out the need for a persistent connection, instead stating that it will appear on a case-by-case basis....
