HomeNews Law. Law always changes, and it’s honestly a bit of a nightmare. Last Friday, Gearbox Software filed a suit against Apogee Software, the owners ofDuke Nukem 3Ddevelopers* 3D Realms. Gearbox bought theDuke Nukemfranchise off ‘em back in 2010, and now they’re accusing 3D Realms of failing to mention that they didn’t own the copyright to some of the game’s music.

HomeNews I’ve been hanging out with Desktop Goose and he’s the best kind of encouraging turdHONK HONK We all loved playing as the horrible goose inUntitled Goose Gamelast year, but Sam Person’sDesktop Goosecompanion has now given me a taste of what it feels like to be on the receiving end of that terrible honking machine.
