Shiniest Objects: The Rest of Us Were Lazy
Indie games stole the scene a bit towards the end of the week after game announcements and patches reminded us we had other games to finish. Ludum Dare was back and it brought us a crop of games in less than 48 hours, that is if you have time for these games after the best Humble Bundle yet. The Horrible Show went live this week as we tried to select our game of the year categories while trying to get as much game coverage wrapped up before voting begins.
Every day we are on the look out for the most interesting news items in the gaming industry. Some make it on the site as headlines, and the articles that just miss the cut end up in the Shiny Objects feed on our Horrible Night Newswire Google+ Page. Every Monday we recap the shiniest of the objects, and our original articles from the previous week.
