Jasper Byrne, creator of Soundless Mountain, Lone Survivor, and the upcoming release New Game+ had a lot of new info to share with us on last weeks Sup Holmes (now on iTunes). We heard about the new graphics, new content, and new controls for the PS3 and PS Vita versions of Lone Survivor, how the music will play an integral part in New Game+, how Zelda, Dark Souls, Monster Hunter, and Dungeons and Dragons influenced its development, and so much more. 

Probably the biggest bombshell was that all the new content coming to the console release of Lone Survivor will eventually be making it’s way to PC as well. Jasper has always been a man of the people, so the fact that he’s working to make all stuff available everywhere to everyone doesn’t surprise me. 

We also got to hear about how his post-launch experiences with Lone Survivor, quitting smoking, E3, grief, his past life of touring the world playing Drum and Bass, and a lot more. Thanks again to Jasper to joining us on the show, and tune in this Sunday when we welcome Rami and J.W. of Vlambeer to talk about Ridiculous Fishing, Luftrausers, and hopefully the announcement of a new game. It’s going to be salacious.

After clearing its $70,000 goal more than a week in advance, the A.N.N.E. Kickstarter has concluded at $100,272. The total is enough to unlock three of ANNE‘s stretch goals, namely Mac & Linux versions, gender swap mode and achievements, and New Game+. While stretch goals for Ouya, PSN/Vita and Wii U versions were not met, creator Moise “Mo” Breton promised in a previous update that these versions will still be made, though it will take longer.

Mo, whom we interviewed back in April, also posted an inspirational thank you video on YouTube, which retells the whole experience and, more importantly, heavily features his adorable children. “From now on, it’s all about making the game,” said Mo, thanking supporters for allowing him to develop full-time. He is planning to make monthly updates throughout development. ANNE is planned to launch in early to mid 2014.

You probably won’t have noticed the following problem, unless you happen to be the IT manager in an architecture firm or other specialist environment, but it’s been an issue nonetheless. For all our ability to virtualize compute and graphical workloads, it hasn’t so far been possible to share a single GPU core across multiple users. For example, if you’d wanted 32 people on virtual machines to access 3D plumbing and electrical drawings via AutoCAD, you’d have needed to dedicate eight expensive quad-core K1 graphics cards in your GRID server stack. Now, though, NVIDIA has managed to make virtualization work right the way through to each GPU core for users of Citrix XenDesktop 7, such that you’d only need one K1 to serve that workforce, assuming their tasks were sufficiently lightweight. Does this mean NVIDIA’s K1 sales will suddenly drop by seven eighths? We couldn’t tell ya — but probably not.

Are we past the point where I can stop warning people about spoilers? Well just in case, don’t watch this if you haven’t beaten BioShock Infinite yet. Actually, this won’t even make sense until you have gotten all the way through the game.

For those of you who have played all the way through, enjoy this what if scenario had things ended differently for Booker, Elizabeth, and other familiar faces from Columbia.

Now that Facebook’s share feature has settled into its own mobile apps, the firm has pushed its native Share Dialog for iOS out of beta, which allows developers to bake the function into their own applications. With just an extra line of code, apps will allow users to share things, tag friends and note their location without having to log into the social network or connect the app to their account first, removing some hassle from the equation. In addition, the built-in sharing options in iOS 6 can be bolstered with Open Graph actions.

Irreverent Marvel antihero Deadpool may be gracing the Wii U, at least according to a listing by Amazon Canada. Spotted by NeoGAF over the weekend, the retailer has High Moon Studios’ madcap action game pinned for the Nintendo console.

Unlike other platforms listed by the retailer, the release date is apparently a placeholder (December 31 2013) and the listing is minus details and box art. Even if a Wii U version is on the way, given the timing it seems unlikely it’ll launch alongside the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC ones on June 25.

We’ve reached out to Deadpool himself (and Activision) to clear things up.
