Short Pause: "The Short Pause crew chimes in on the latest happenings within the video game industry. The topics this week include:
The Call of Duty: Black Ops III Multiplayer Beta Starts on Wednesday - With the beta details fully unveiled, Brent is stoked to jump into the PS4 exclusive multiplayer beta on the 19th. Have you seen the "Movement Tutorial" video for Black Ops III?!
Destiny's Light Level is Still a Thing? - The fellas tackle all of this past week's Destiny news, including the revelation that the Light Level system is returning with The Taken King, albeit in a different form!
PSN's Vote to Play Promotion is Live! - Ben is voting for Zombie Vikings and can't figure out why Brent is voting for Grow Home! Which title deserves the first ever "Vote to Play" crown?
Kickstarter is Changing - With the revelation that Divinity: Original Sin II is in development and headed back to Kickstarter, the fellas discuss if maybe the service has veered off course from its ori...
OVERRIDER is a new sci-fi roguelite about hoverboarding and smashing robots, and there's a Kickstarter campaign to help get it funded.
Cinnabunny and Time is Honey are currently up to be crowdfunded on Kickstarter right now. They're both adorable.
Jack writes: "The Spring Sale is currently taking place, spanning from March 14th until March 21st. Some of the most popular games on the market are having their price slashed and we’ve hand-picked a few."
These kinds of lists are often terrible for me, mainly because I either already have the games, or I'm just not interested in some of them. Great for people new to PC games or people who haven't kept up with game releases.
I'm too poor these days to buy every game like I used to. I quit my job because it was too exploitive. So until I find a new one I'll be enjoying my immense backlog lol
Mine's become very exploitative too, sick and tired of doing the work of 3 or 4 people, failing and getting stressed out while the company makes record profits every year. I can't go without work, but I'm hanging on until I can find something else, sometimes it sucks living in a rural/regional town.

Yeah I'm lucky that I can go without work for awhile. Otherwise I would have just had to bear it. Hang in there. One important thing is to always be looking for a job somewhere else on the side if you're even a little bit unsatisfied.
I'm still waiting (foolishly) for a PlayStation 4 version of H-Hour: Worlds Elite...but that game is in shambles on PC, so my experience with Kickstarter, though limited, has been crappy. Lets hope Bloodstained lives up to the hype!
After what happened with Mighty No. 9 and Red Ash, I'd lean towards the "worse" side of things. I've never backed again, so I'm not sure what it's like to have a game you backed fall through after the fact. I'll just buy the game if it ever makes it to my system of choice.
Frankie and Bender really tie the room together on these.
If you've yet to vote, cast your ballot for Zombie Vikings for September's "Vote to Play" promotion on PSN!
