Irritum Releasing September 6 for Windows, Mac and Linux

The 3D puzzle platformer Irritum is set to release for Windows, Mac and Linux on September 6th. The game focuses on something rarely seen in video games which is the act of suicide and the mental issues surrounding it. Irritum will have players embarking on an incredible journey that entails embracing the darkness of limbo or trying to fight for the life you tried to end.

From the Press Release
A new indie game created entirely by a 22-year-old solo developer tackles a subject rarely seen in games. After an attempted suicide leads you to purgatory, two angels of death watch over your journey back to life. Irritum - written, designed and developed in its entirety by Nick Padgett - is a 3D puzzle platformer where you must leap your way back to reality. Carve your path by altering the collisions between planes and obstacles, and try to escape your subconscious - or remain trapped in it forever. Change which planes you can touch, each represented by a colour, with the press of a button. Reverse gravity and walk on the ceilings. Create a mirror image of yourself to reach places you cannot. Avoid falling into the abyss at every turn. One uncovered memory at a time, you will begin to learn the story behind the coma you have trapped yourself in, and once-and-for-all make the decision to fight for the life you tried to leave behind - or succumb to the darkness of limbo. Irritum is among a new wave of games exploring emotion and mental illness. Discover why you are trapped in limbo. Remember what you did to get there. Decide whether or not to escape. Irritum will be available on Windows, Mac and Linux when it is released on 6 September, 2013. To learn more, visit the official Irritum website.

Blood, Salt, and Unconditional Love: Why Sam and Dean Winchester Transcended Television

When Supernatural debuted on television screens back in 2005, it posed as a gritty, urban-legend-of-the-week horror show. Two brothers in a black 1967 Chevy Impala riding down dark American backroads, hunting ghosts, wendigos, and demons. But as the seasons turned into a fifteen-year legacy, viewers realized the monsters were never the main plot. The true heartbeat of the show was an intense, unwavering bond between two brothers willing to tear down heaven and earth for each other. "There is no me without you. I'm telling you, raised by a hunter, lived like one my whole life... I wouldn't trade it for anything. But if it means losing you? I can't do it." — Dean Winchester More Than Fighting Evil: The Connection We Long For In a world built on fleeting relationships, social media connections, and conditional dynamics, Sam and Dean offered something modern humanity rarely glimpses: absolute, radical devotion .

Master Your Aim: Why Every FPS Gamer Needs a Mouse Sensitivity Converter

Say goodbye to floaty aiming and missed flick shots. Here is how math—and a simple tool—can keep your muscle memory razor-sharp across every shooter you play. Whether you are dropping into Valorant for a quick competitive match, warming up in Counter-Strike 2 , or grinding ranked in Apex Legends , every FPS player shares a common goal: hitting shots with absolute precision . Yet, millions of gamers run into a frustrating wall every time they launch a new title—their crosshair feels floaty, sluggish, or way too fast. The problem isn't your mouse, your mousepad, or your skill. The problem is that in-game sensitivity numbers are completely different across game engines .
