An interview with Suda 51, the twisted mind behind Shadows of the Damned
His projects have been called “eastern-European puppet shows,” “Sid & Nancy in hell,” and “pure punk spirit.” Only limited by his own imagination, this head of Grasshopper Manufacture has created some of the most mind-bending, creative, and original titles to date.

Are you a health nut? On an all vegan diet? Quick! Cast your eyes elsewhere because American chain of fine truckstop dining known as Denny’s Restaurants is offering up heaploads of coronary goodness. Long set in the annals of history as an “extravaganza of crispy dishes whereupon bacon was king,” Baconalia celebrates a time when everything delicious is made even more delicious with the addition of – you guessed it – bacon!

How far will Valve’s potato hunt take you?
I’m sure you all know of the “Potato Bundle” on Steam right now. Buy the games in the bundle, find the hidden spuds, get early access to Portal 2 right? Turns out one Steam user made quite the discovery, along with an awkward attempt at a covert (and nerdy) investigation.
