Episode 25 – Umurangi Generation

Game of the hour: Umurangi Generation

Your intrepid photographer evades the UN police, sliding under some raggedly thrown up caution tape and bounding past b-boys and gawking tourists. She brings her camera up and shuffles through her duffel bag looking for the right lens: “50mm? 180? wide-angle?” Finally her fingers close around the fisheye; not great for wider compositions but sick as hell if you can get in close. She locks the lens onto its mounting and raises the camera to her eye in one smooth, buttery motion. This particular piece of graffiti deserves to be immortalized on film: “Tavit and Yussef: Best Budz Forever”

Episode 1 – Wolfenstein: The New Order

wolfenstein

 

Creeping despair threatens to overwhelm your burning nihilistic rage. You walk up to an unsuspecting guard and leap at him silently, ready to eliminate another threat. Unfortunately, he turns just as you raise your hand to strike and grapples you into mortal combat – which involves stabbing each other repeatedly in the neck for an absurd amount of time. Welcome to Wolfenstein.
