I can say, without an ounce of hyperbole, that I have never shouted, cheered or laughed so much playing a game in my life. TowerFall Ascension is designed to evoke these reactions in every single match, and it always, always does. Regardless of how its settings and variables have been tinkered, or the relative skill levels of its players, the matchup is exciting and dynamic every single time. For those unfamiliar with the original version, which launched on Ouya last year, TowerFall is a multiplayer-centric 2D arena game. Players take on the role of archers, and attempt to dispatch one another using either their bow and arrow or a well-placed head-stomp. Archers can also dodge in any direction on the ground or in the air, letting them dash out of the way of danger or, if performed with split-second timing, catch an incoming arrow. “ the matchup is exciting and dynamic every single time” Those simple core mechanics can shake out in so many different ways in a brawl, which is part of TowerFall's brilliance. In the span of a few seconds, you can snatch a volley of arrows out of the air, return them to sender, dash onto the head of another foe and fire a miracle shot across the stage to take out a third. Occurrences that exciting aren't even rare; in fact, they happen in basically every match. TowerFall has been favorably compared to Super Smash Bros., which is apt in more ways than one. Power-ups can throw curveballs into the mix, changing your arrows into explosive darts, environment-piercing drills or bouncing lasers. There are dozens of variables you can apply before starting a match, letting you tailor (and save!) custom multiplayer gametypes. Everything, from the number of arrows players start with to the power-ups that spawn in the match, is there to adjust. Party modes TowerFall Ascension's replay value is bolstered significantly by the multiplayer variants, which you can adjust and save to one of three slots for later use. Here are just a few of the options that have been huge successes on game night: Start players with just one arrow, forcing them to pick their shots wisely and scavenge arrows around the battlefield. Start players with six Drill arrows, which can burrow through walls and floors, leaving no safe inch of space in the level. Turn off arrows entirely and turn on Super Dashes, sending players flying into the air as they try to jump on each other's heads. Each adjustment, each combination gives rise to a variety of jubilant moments. When you think you've seen it all, something happens — a laser arrow trick shot, a Super Bomb multi-kill — that shatters your expectations. It's genuinely thrilling every time it happens, and TowerFall smartly lets you save your replays as animated GIFs with a single button press. The game's lack of online multiplayer certainly makes it harder to get four archers in a match together. But schmaltzy as it may sound, when shared with a roomful of friends, TowerFall nights can be an unforgettable affair. Ascension does add a few solo options to the game, however, including "Trials" mode, a refined version of the original's target practice levels. Each Trial is set up like a miniature puzzle, tasking you with using the game's power-ups to clear a screenful of targets in just a few seconds. It's a good tutorial for the game's additions, and a surprisingly compelling score-chaser, to boot. The biggest addition by far is the game's Quest mode, which turns each of TowerFall's multiplayer stages into a Horde-esque survival challenge. One to two players have to hold off waves of increasingly deadly AI enemies while trying to stay alive and chain together kill combos. The new modes are surprisingly addictive, and a welcome option when getting a group of friends together just isn't possible. But, polished as they may be, they're ultimately the supporting cast to together just isn't possible. But, polished as they may be, they're ultimately the supporting cast to the game's competitive offerings. It's not that the Quest and Trials modes are lacking in quality; it's that the multiplayer, and its toy box full of variables, possesses the stuff in unparalleled quantities.

I can’t even get simple 2D games to run at a decent framerate. Mar 7, 2014 | 6:58 PM Reply alexiddqd My laptop overheated to the point of shutting down when I recently replayed Gone Home :( That’s more a fault of the build quality though, the thermal paste around some components in my computer degrades over time so I went from maxing out Dishonored and Skyrim to crashing on a Unity game. It’s pretty funny actually. Mar 7, 2014 | 7:33 PM Reply mewfin It’s ok, titanfall is really overated. Mar 7, 2014 | 7:07 PM Reply alexiddqd Have you played it? I haven’t played it myself (I have a PS4, not an Xbox) but a game from the people who made CoD4 with this much positivity surrounding it seems to indicate a good game to me.

Canny, Chair With an estimated 4.6 billion units in use, mobile phones have already become the most popular computing device in human history. Their portability and communication capabil- ities may revolutionize how people do their daily work and interact with other people in ways PCs have done during the past 30 years. Despite decades of experiences in creating modern WIMP (windows, icons, mouse, pointer) interfaces, our knowledge in building ef- fective mobile interfaces is still limited, especially for emerging interaction modalities that are only available on mobile devices. This dissertation explores how emerging sensors on a mobile phone, such as the built-in camera, the microphone, the touch sensor and the GPS module can be leveraged to make everyday interactions easier and more efficient.
