Check out everything Destructoid did today
One of my favorite webcomic producers wrote a choose-your-own-adventure book about Shakespeare’s Hamlet. It’s up on Kickstarter and has demolished its original funding goal. Above is an illustration that accompanies one of the many endings; this one in particular has Hamlet and Ophelia sending Claudius up into the atmosphere in a hot air balloon and then dropping him so that he explodes and dies. Needless to say, I’ve already ordered my copy.
Otherwise, a ton of gaming news came out today, Jim, Hamza, and Abel brought us a few previews, Chris reviewed Black Knight Sword, and we continued to trickle out our game of the year nominees. Winners in each category will be announced tomorrow!
