Forza Horizon "1000 Club Expansion Pack" available now

Forza Horizon came out last year in the fall to overall positive reviews--though some found the more casual system a disappointing change--and now the game has received a massive DLC pack featuring two new cars--the 1956 Ford F100 and the 1995 RUF CTR2--and 1,000 new challenges, all for the low, low price of free! Microsoft is known for "forcing" (or heavily suggesting) companies to charge at least something when releasing DLC on their platform--which is often true--so it's both odd and nice to see such an abundance of content released for free by Microsoft themselves, additional achievements included.

I loved Forza Horizon and I look forward to jumping back in, immediately becoming overwhelmed by a slew of dots screaming, "Pick me! Pick me!" If you still haven't tried Forza Horizon, now is a great time to pick up the game and give it a shot; if you like it, you'll have more content than you will know what to do with. For more details and a snazzy trailer, check out the official announcement here; to download the pack and start playing right now, click the link below.

Forza Horizon - "1000 Club Expansion Pack"

Xbox LIVE 'Deal of the Week' for 04/16 - 04/22/13

This week’s Xbox LIVE 'Deal of the Week' features a hodgepodge or arcade titled, old and new, from 50 to 75% off. The one new game on sale of the bunch is Black Knight Sword--the second game from the collaboration between Grasshopper Manufacture and Digital Reality--and the rest have all been on sale before, but usually at a higher price. If you somehow haven't picked up the second Geometry Wars game, you have no excuse anymore as it's only 200 MS points! (That's only $2.50!) Now is the time to stop reading and start saving.

To get the games and whatnot, go straight to the Xbox LIVE 'Deal of the Week' page by clicking THIS, or enjoy individual links below. Enjoy them or else! Or else I'll send more empty threats.

Pixelated Radio 52: Where Luigi Defies Guacamelee!

I usually write cheeky things here as I like making myself laugh (and possibly you too), but I can't bring myself to write such things with what has happened in Boston today--"Live Updates on Explosions at the Boston Marathon". And so all I will leave you with is something I posted earlier on other various corners of the web: It's easy to look at what happened in Boston and see the hate that created it, but don't forget about all the love that is now filling it.

It's a short show this week and it starts with Rob talking about his time visiting friends in Kansas and then jumps back into formula, a.k.a., "What We've Been Playing," followed by some movies, TV shows, and news--like the Next Xbox/Twitter/Always Online nonsense. Anyway, I do hope you enjoy the show and, won't you do us a kindness and be our favorite neighbor by rating us on iTunes? (Please do.) And if you're feeling extra generous, donate a little money or subscribe to show your support for the site and show(s), it's not free to host the site, the show; to make and record videos, and everything in between. Thanks regardless.

Free Meat Friday - Dungeons of Dredmor (Steam)

The "free meat" prize today is a copy of Dungeons of Dredmor and the "Realm of the Diggle Gods" DLC pack on Steam. Dungeons of Dredmor is an awesome rougelike with a nice sense of humor and great, simple gameplay. I'm still waiting for the game to make its way to iPad already, but until then I'll continue enjoying it on PC and now you can too, that is, if you happen to win. Best of all, it's a Steamplay title and works on PC, Mac, and Linux. Yay!

All you have to do to enter is click THIS and then click "Retweet." -- Make sure you follow me, @Kush3, so I can DM you with details if a winner is you. Otherwise, a winner is who? Seriously though, a failure to follow simple instructions can turn a potential winner into one of many "losers." And if you'd like two extra/alternate entrees, increasing your chances of winning, subscribe to the site's YouTube page for a second entree; then, comment on any video, including the hashtag #FMF41213, but not only the hashtag, for a third entree. You-all have until Sunday (04/14/13) at 12PM CST to enter and the winner will be contacted soon after.

ENTREE PERIOD IS OVER. WINNERS IN PROCESS OF BEING SELECTED.

"Ship" your pants at Kmart

Does this have anything to do with video games or comics or movies or anything at all that usually graces the site? No, but this is the first good thing to come out of Kmart since I don't know when and it made me giggle like a little whippersnapper and you may just giggle a little too. You may want to bring some spare pants too.
