Darkest of Days, an upcoming first-person shooter about time travel, has gotten box art. Normally, this wouldn't be a huge deal, but the cover art has a seemingly random volcano on it and I thought that was kind of hilarious. If the final fight doesn't take place atop a live volcano, I will be disappointed.
In addition, three screenshots were sent out, and I remain cautiously optimistic about Darkest of Days. It certainly looks interesting in the pictures and video we've seen, but I'll be keeping my expectations in check anyway.
Lastly, my morning was made when I finally figured out why the game's premise has been so intriguing to me: as commenter HiddenAHB brought up last time, it's eerily similar to that cartoon show Time Squad, which I had completely forgotten about until he mentioned it. What a silly show was.

Also, what Visc said.

Okay I just watched that... THIS GAME IS AWESOME, in a totally terrible way. I've always wondered what it would be like to go into the cival war with a sub machine gun.
but there is no way in HELL I'm paying $50 for that game.
Lots of guns in this trailer konrad linked us to.

I made one a while ago except my volcano erupts chicken drumsticks.
