EVE: Valkyrie released this week. It is pretty much everything I’d ever want out of a space combat game. Lots of ships, lots of lasers/beams/guns/missiles/etc. Your ship feels tiny (in the EVE universe, you’re the fighters in the Carrier you can pilot on the MMO side of things) and your weapons feel great.

http://www.maximumfun.org/shows/adventure-zone The sheer shenanigans this group gets up to leaves me in stitches. It’s a little slow the first couple episodes until they find their groove, but when they do… The voices, the actions, the really clever campaigns just turn this into something next level. And now I really want to play D&D again.
