MEVIO Tech

Follow us on twitter : www.twitter.com/meviotech   First on agenda is a story about a game developer who took a unique approach to showing off his new game. He brought in a large audience of people and demoed a LAN type game at an early stage in development. Let's see how it went... Ok April Fools, to you and well a lot of people that day. The developer's name is Tristan Newcomb and he actually crafted an elaborate hoax to fool, bewilder, and amuse a room full of very confused people. The idea was to create a game so bad, complete with awful sound effects, gameplay, and graphics that it was .. well ... laughable. Newcomb actually recorded the entire video before hand and then orchestrated a fake play-through of the game. Pretty april fools-like. Ok .. so how can we have a april fools day show without the onion showing up? We cant .. take a look I actually think they're right. Me playing reseident evil 5 for a whole weekend upped my zombie killing skill big time. I think I could handle myself in a apocalyptic environment. Something that is no joke is a new show that's joined our Mevio network called XNA Roundup. Nick the Dude takes you through the latest Xbox 360 community games offered up on Xbox Live.
