Hey everyone! Once again another episode of the GGP has come out, and I’m bound and determined to get these notes up before I have to start prepping for the next show.
I only had a couple of resources to review this week partly because of content and partly because of time. This week Cait’s away recovering from surgery so I’m back again to help Dave hold down the fort… hey, it’s almost like I’m a regular co-host!
On that note, let’s get down to it.
Neon Tango
The first up this week is a really cool game I found called Neon Tango. This is a top-down shoot ‘em up like so many classic games before it (dating all the way back to Asteroids if you wanna go back that far
). The action is super fast and the soundtrack is amazing! The graphics are all line/vector based, no fancy skins on the objects, but they’re still really really good line and vector-based graphics.
The catch: the $25 price tag for the full version. A three-level playable demo is available from the website, give it a try and consider picking up Neon Tango. ((Even if you don’t want to buy it, download the trial and listen to the soundtrack!))
Switcher Keyboard Shortcut Guide
The folks over at My First Mac have put together a keyboard shortcut guide for windows switchers. This is a great resource to learn how to navigate OS X more effectively without having to take your hands off the keyboard. This is an excellent resource for anyone who uses both Macs and PCs or has recently switched from one platform to the other. I learned at least one new shortcut for each platform reading this tutorial.
Give the guide a try: Ultimate Switcher Guide: Windows PC to Mac Keyboard Shortcuts.
This week I tried out a solution to my audio problems with a new headset. Give it a listen and let me know what you think. I am still evaluating other options.
