It's the day that us DJ's got struck by the Summer mood and decided to all go for vacation and let Wasabi do the hard work.
Joking aside though, due to technical issues the DJs are unable to do their scheduled shows for today. We'll owe Wasabi a great deal of gratitude for covering for all of us today, and promise to get her ample supplies of lettuce.
We'll be back shortly.
It's that special time of the month again when I bring you the song of the month. This time it comes from Amelia Sweet and Clyde Shorey whose entry into the Get Your Song In The Game competition on Funcom's The Secret World ended up as the winner.
Named "The Zombie Stare" The song is fun, funky and catchy and well worth a listen if you've not heard it already. Hell, it's worth a listen if you've heard it a million times.
You can check it out and even download the song over at Amelia's Soundcloud page. So head on over and let them know how awesome it is, and of course prepare your ears for the awesomeness all this month on Split Infinity Radio.
The Unnamed Game or TUG for short is an early access Steam game from Nerd Kingdom and is described as "sitting at a crossroad where survival sandbox and multiplayer RPG's meet." You have different aspects of gameplay such as PvP in the Proving Ground mode, the freedom to build and manipulate terrain, craft and control all aspects of the world in Creative mode. Lastly the traditional Survival mode where you can gather resources, build shelters and explore the world around you.
Keeping in mind the game is still in the Alpha phase I began my adventures in TUG by jumping into the Survival mode. Feeling lost without a map to guide me I wandered the environment for a bit farming mats for crafting. I really like the craft wherever you are feature it's a refreshing change from the usual farm then run to town. Another aspect of crafting that I liked which surprised me was tossing several items on the ground and seeing what I could make! You are also able to build structures from the environment around you.
I had a chance to catch up with the guys at Nerd Kingdom:

Organic Panic is this weeks ISP game from Last Limb that was recently released on Steam. This physics based action puzzle game has everything you want in a game - completely destructible levels, dynamic reactive liquids, the ability to create and share custom levels to name a few. The storyline is revealed through the ingame comic book as you destroy your way through the levels.
The characters you can play have different abilities that come in handy while navigating your way thru these insanely fun levels. Cherry controls Earth, Kiwi controls Water, Carrot controls Fire and Coconut controls Gravity. The Meat Cartel will test your skills with their mechanical aresenal of destruction.
I've always been a fan of Dig Dug & Super Mario type games so for me Organic Panic was an instant hit. I love the fact that you can literally destroy everything in each level providing you have certain "power ups." The beginning levels have you learning what your toon can do and introduces you to the different classes and environments. The levels for me go beyond just smash this and roll thru that to complete the level. You have to put some thought to get through the obstacles - perhaps it's flooding the room to drown the meats or maybe you need to break apart the earth beneath the meats feet and drop them into a pit.
I was able to catch up with Anatole from Last Limb:
