Game Review – Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon | Starburst Magazine

With Konami having officially having torpedoed its every single license in a fit of madness, it seems unlikely we will ever see a true Castelvania again. The last one was, after all, a glorified gambling machine which promoted itself on erotic violence and completely missed the mark on what made the series engaging. Enter Bloodstained, a spiritual successor to the franchise, offering the same gothic horror, Lovecraftian foes and mechanics as the originals. With Ritual of the Night still some…

FCC Asks Amazon and eBay To Stop Selling Fake Pay TV Boxes

Last week, the Federal Communications Commission sent a letter to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and eBay CEO Devin Wenig asking their companies to help remove the listings for fake pay TV boxes from their respective websites. From a report: These boxes often falsely bear the FCC logo, the letter informed, and are used to perpetuate “intellectual property theft and consumer fraud.” With the rise in cord cutting, a number of consumers have found it’s just as easy to use an app like Kodi on a cheap streaming media device to gain access to content â” like TV shows and movies — that they would otherwise miss out on by dropping their pay TV subscription. As an added perk, various software add-ons enable consumers to stream movies still in the theaters, too. It’s an easier way to access pirated content than visiting The Pirate Bay and downloading torrent files.

Problem Solving: A Weed Burning Tractor Attachment

weed-burning-tractor.jpg

This is a video demonstration of a propane gas fueled weed burning attachment for a tractor. “I thought it was going to be a tractor smoking weed.” I know you did, and there’s nothing I can do to help you. In the video, the tractor is seen flaming weeds in an organic cornfield in preparation for planting the crop. When reached for comment about the device, earthworms were not happy about it. Also, I’m pretty sure this video didn’t need to be eight minutes long. Thirty seconds would have been more than sufficient, followed by another two minutes of the thing torching various toys set in its path. But what do I know about making quality videos? I’m just a man with a sexy cam show and only a single follower. “Your girlfriend?” Another account I created.

Keep going for the exhilarating 8-minute follow-behind.

Moonlighter Review — Are You a Merchant or a Hero?

If Stardew Valley is the Harvest Moon of indie games, Moonlighter would be sort of like the Rune Factory. Instead of farming though, the title blends the everyday life of being a merchant with action-heavy dungeon crawling in the style of games like The Binding of Isaac, The Legend of Zelda, and more. Digital Sun has done a great job blending the game’s two main mechanics so that…

Agony Review (TSA)

TSA writes: “Agony has been one of my most anticipated titles for a few years now. Its Kickstarter and early videos promised a delirious and disturbing trip through the circles of Hell, openly drawing influence from the likes of Clive Barker and Dantes Divine Comedy. With striking visual design and a soundtrack of tortured souls, it looked to offer a dark and mature experience that would really take advantage of the processing power of contemporary machines. Whilst the visuals and atmosphere…
