#56: Tales from the Borderlands & more!

What would you like first? The good news or the bad news? Fear not listener, for you needn't decide! It's all been taken care of! On this week's episode we get the chaff out of the way first, with an update on the status of Ubisoft's broken-on-arrival Assassin's Creed Unity and the ultimately ill-fated kickstarter project that involved actually bleeding it's players out for charity. We check in on the next batch of Telltale adventures: the recently released Tales from the Borderlands and their imminent take on the Game of Thrones mythos. Finally, we check in on some big online games such as the recently re-invigorated World of Warcraft and the soon-to-be-released Elite Dangerous, which had it's premiere event recently at Duxford Imperial War Museum. All this and more on another news-stuffed #NOTplaying Podcast!Ubisoft may consider early access in future http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-11-13-ubisoft-to-offer-early-access-to-some-future-games-following-assassins-creed-unity-launch-debacleAssassin's Creed Unity - Live Updates / State of the Game http://assassinscreed.ubi.com/en-GB/community/liveupdates/index.aspxNo Direct X 12 for Windows 7 :( http://www.pcgamer.com/directx-12-will-not-be-supported-by-windows-7/Kickstarter for device that makes you bleed out (donate blood) when you get shot in game lol - NOW SUSPENDED http://www.polygon.com/2014/11/24/7277021/bloodsucking-video-game-peripheral-suspended-by-kickstarterDevice that gives you electric shocks when you get shot (can bundle this story in with the one that makes you lose blood lol) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mTSQAUNVWs&list=PLEq9W3I6b0wVM8_T3VNhh7hPYhf4uqLQH&index=1SCORN (lol) :An atmospheric first person horror adventure game with a heavy Giger influence and VR support. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/571331118/scorn-episode-oneArmikrog - From the creator of The Neverhood. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ho0ZM3AmOuU&feature=youtu.beTales From The Borderlands Episode 1 out now - good reviews. http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/tales-from-the-borderlands-episode-one---zer0-sumTelltale's Game of Thrones now available for pre-order on Steam, HBO cast confirmed.
