In this weeks MMM blog update Justin talks us through the current status of the “12 things to expect” that Robot made for the year ahead back in February. Pleasingly it looks like Robot should surely score a grade A for their efforts so far this year. A vast majority of the goals have already been realised!

One of the interesting tidbits in the blog post is word of exclusive content coming up in the official Robot newsletter some time soon:

We haven’t sent out any exclusive looks just yet, but we’re planning to very soon. Make sure that you’re signed up for the Robot Newsletter to be the first to know when big news comes out!

Make sure you are definitely signed up to the Robot newsletter to make sure you are kept in the loop. Missing out on goodies is never fun!

There is also word of a super secret “Red Pod”:

You already know about the Green, Yellow, Blue, and Orange Pods at Robot Entertainment. This year we’ll introduce you to the Red Pod. You may not know it yet, but some quiet progress has already been made with Red Pod. Unfortunately, that’s about all we can say about that right now. 😉

Should be interesting to hear more about this when the time comes. Meanwhile, we can ponder on what mysteries this new pod will bring..

Robot Community Manager Justin “SixOkay” Korthof has popped up on the gaming podcast website Seven Day Cooldown. The hour long interview with Adam Crichton talks about a ton of stuff from both Orcs Must Die! and Hero Academy. The podcast includes details about the development of both games and what we can expect in the future. Plus some details about marketing and community management and all that goodness. Oh and our famous Hero Academy League gets a mention too :). There is also some funky intro music thrown into the mix for good measure.

Well worth listening to for all Robot Fans! Check it out on the link below: http://www.sevendaycooldown.com/site/638/

Robot Entertainment posted the weekly MMM (Monday Morning Meeting) blog a day early. The blog contains a 15 minute video that shows a time lapse construction of an OMD! fortress. Also, some news about Robot attending the upcoming Rooster Teeth Expo.

Now quit reading this and go check out the “If you build it they will come…… MMM Blog”

Ever wonder who is putting up such high scores in OMD?  This week we decided to Spotlight OMD! expert player Vvt76. Vince has recently taken on the challenge of finishing Nightmare levels without barricades. Impossible you say?  Vvt76 has provided proof and a high scoring run that will blow your mind.

We also found out that Vvt76 mixes some fresh beats on the side. We suggest listening to some of his house mixes while watching the amazing run. Here is a link to his music Intellectro and below is the 35 minute video. Enjoy!!!

Robot Entertainment have announced the availability the Hero Academy 1.2.2 update which is going live on the Apple servers in just a couple of hours. The list of changes can be found below. The update is not mandatory so you can still continue to play with the older version if you wish. However updating to the latest version is strongly recommended to take advantage of the latest stability and performance improvements.

Version 1.2.2 changes:

• Initial game load is faster
• Fix to decrease “out of memory” crashes on iPad and iPod Touches
• Fixed Undo actions bug that awarded certain achievements incorrectly
• Fixed Spike armor increasing health when health was below 100.
• Fixed Spike armor to no longer affect nearby units when hit by area-of-effect attacks
• Fixed Wraith puppet scaling when attacking other units

If you ever doubted Kenny’s gaming credentials you really should think again. If achieving some of the highest Orcs Must Die combos wasn’t enough you should really check out Kenny’s absolutely pure awesome video game and console collection. The Game Chasers hit a gold mine when they visited the residence of our own Kenny Newell where they discovered some of the most classic and pristine condition games and consoles including a boxed Channel F, the first every programmable ROM cartridge based game console.

Check out the below video of Kenny’s collection on The Game Chasers from about 9 minutes in. Being an ultimate Robot Fan he of course sports the official Robot Entertainment cap, the Little R Cap!
