Screaming Penguin - Source Does Matter

Weapons Locker 1701D was a nice touch.

I just want to note: I bought an Xbox to play Rock Band on. One of the games on Xbox Live Arcade is a BSG game. I downloaded the first level demo, and I just want to note Beyond the Red Line TOTALLY kicks its ass. Much like the BF1942 mod kicking the ass of most Star Wars games, I wonder what it means when the free games are better than the pay-for games.

Telltale Game:

SAN RAFAEL, CA, April 10, 2008 – Interactive entertainment pioneer Telltale, Inc. is pleased to announce Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People (SBCG4AP), a new series of episodic games for WiiWare™, in partnership with Videlectrix. Starring Strong Bad, the self-proclaimed coolest person ever, the series is based on Matt and Mike Chapman's online animated series, which has been running at Homestarrunner.com since 2000. SBCG4AP will launch on WiiWare this June.

As the very first episodic series for connected consoles, Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People has been designed specifically for WiiWare, with easy-to-use controls and WiiConnect24™ features. Like Telltale's popular Sam & Max series, SBCG4AP will be released as a five-episode "season" akin to a season of television. The episodes will come out on a monthly schedule. Release dates and pricing details will be revealed in a future announcement.

If awesome was a noun, this is what it would look like.

I first heard of Jonathan Coulton a year or so back when I got the audio book version of The Areas of My Expertise (excellent, BTW). Coulton was the troubadour for that version of the book, and was very funny (even though, if I recall, he was ignorant of how much to tip a starling boy).

World of Goo is a physics based puzzle / construction game. The millions of Goo Balls that live in the beautiful World of Goo don't know that they are in a game, or that they are extremely delicious.
