It’s not very often that any of the writers here at Gamercide post about anything but gaming news. It’s also not everyday that we’re all this excited about something or someone. In this case, it’s Dillon Hodges. Musician, singer, and songwriter.

I’ve wracked my brain trying to remember where I first came across “Bullet for a Broken Heart“. I’m sure it was on his website, but I don’t recall what led me there. If it was social media, I’m glad. Social media (in this case Twitter), is how I came to learn all about the man and his wonderful music. We’ve shared a few lines of text with each other, and his beautiful fiancé even thanked me for helping spread the word. He’s a gracious man, and from what I gather, bewildered that people would want to help him spread the word about his music. The answer, my friend, is quite simple — you are that good. Your music is so enjoyable, that people like myself find it odd that you’re not already famous. We want you to succeed so that we can enjoy your music for as long as possible.

Dillon Hodges has some music on his website, and on YouTube. However, if you’d like to help him fund his debut album, please consider visiting his Kickstarter page. The different bonuses for contributing, make wanting to help him that much more fun. We’ll all get to experience his first album, but some of us may even get our own personalized song, or concert. Imagine the near future when Dillon finally goes supernova big. You’ll be one of the few people that can say, “That guy wrote and recorded a song just for me!”. It’ll be absolutely true, and your song will now be coveted by legions of fans and collectors.

Dream a little, get a little. Dare to dream big, and the possibilities may surprise you. Dillon’s dreaming it all right now, and he has Gamercide believing every beautiful word of it. Don’t take our words for it, though. Listen for yourselves and you just may be amazed like we continue to be.

Dillon Hodges – Bullet for a Broken Heart

**UPDATE I**

I’ve been informed that Dillon is a gamer.  If you play Demon/Dark Souls, keep an open eye and shield out for someone who just may be singing as they invade your game! I don’t know if he really invades games, but it would be awesome if he did!

**UPDATE II** Apparently he does invade! Dillon’s wonderful fiancé, Elise,  has commented to the fact below. Hi, Elise!

**UPDATE III** We’re extremely happy to announce that Dillon has met his Kickstarter goal of $10,000! Congratulations, Dillon. Take some time to celebrate, but do please start work soon. We at Gamercide are looking very forward to blasting your debut album. All the very best to you and your wonderful fiancé. You’re both two of the kindest people we’ve met online. Love, Your Biggest Fans, Gamercide.

In an attempt to try and please the angry Mass Effect fans who went bananas after seeing how Commander Shepard’s story ended, Bioware has announced that later this summer Mass Effect 3 will get Extended Cut DLC.

The content will be for free and will contain extending endings and Bioware promises further clarity in regards to the end of Shepard’s story.  Executive Producer Casey Hudson says,  ”We have reprioritised our post-launch development efforts to provide the fans who want more closure with even more context and clarity to the ending of the game, in a way that will feel more personalised for each player.”

Creators of the upcoming Kinect only spin on the Fable series, Fable: The Journey, are saying that fans are being unfair and that they really need to just give it a chance.

Former Microsoft employee and Fable Designer Peter Molyneux said in a recent press conference that he wants gamers to know that they will not be “leaping” through the air.

“From the blogs and the posts that I’ve seen, there’s a lot of skepticism out there.  People think that they’re going to be leaping around the room or they’re going to have to shout at the top of their voice and feel embarrassed. We don’t want that – we want you to feel relaxed.”

Molyneux isn’t the only one that was on the Fable team that is speaking out.  Both Dene and Simon Carter are saying that the response has not been “fair” and that if this was a Mario game, nobody would even question it.

“Why there can’t be room for a Kinect side spin-off of the Fable franchise I don’t know.  That seems a bit odd. I can’t think of any good reason why that would not work. If this was a Mario thing for example, if this was a Mario shooter based on the Wii controller, nobody would go, ‘That’s a terrible thing. That should never have happened. That’s a betrayal blah blah blah vitriol vitriol.”

Is Fable ready for Kinect, but more importantly are fans ready to take a Kinect only Fable game seriously?

IGN’s Jessica Chobot has angered Mass Effect fans after her recent comments regarding the backlash of outrage from many gamers over the ending in Mass Effect 3.

Chobot who makes a few appearances as reporter Diana Allers in Mass Effect 3 wrote a blog entry where she called gamers whiny for complaining about the ending of Mass Effect 3 and as a result the blog post has been deleted, Chobot issued an apology, and announced late yesterday that she is closing down her blog on IGN.

“I don’t want to know anything more about the babsolutly RIDICULOUS whine-fest that entitled gamers are having with Bioware…” ~ Jessica Chobot in original blog post

Jessica Chobot shot to popularity among gamers after a photo surfaced of her licking a PSP back in 2005.  She was later hired by IGN as a host of IGN Strategize and Weekly Wood.  Chobot married fellow IGN host Blair Herter in 2012.

What do you think Gamercide?  Should she have just kept her mouth shut or was she correct in sharing her truthful comments?
