Dodge is a space-shooter in which you have no weapons

dodge
Space-shooters are usually a fairly fiery affair, with many types of guns, weapon upgrades, power-ups and more. Dodge does away with all of that, while keeping the very essence of a space shooter: Dark background, fast action, and stuff blowing up all over the place.

Your vector-looking spacecraft is the fastest thing on the screen, most of the time. And as the header implies, you have absolutely no weapons; you can't get any, either. All you have is agility and maneuverability.

Your opponents shoot heat-seeking missiles at you; the missiles lock on and start tracking you. The trick is to dodge the missiles while putting them in the path of one of your enemies, thus letting them have a taste of their own medicine.

There are three types of enemies, at least in the first few levels: "simple" spaceships which fire slow projectiles, "tanks" which seem to be more serious and take more hits to destroy, and "circles." The circles simply explode, spewing twenty or thirty very fast projectiles. This sounds dangerous, but is actually great once you learn to use them; they are very destructive for tanks, and can even blow up other circles.

The soundtrack is very techno, but it meshes very well with this type of game. Intense fun!

Lady Gaga has some news for all her Little Monsters. The Mother Monster herself will sit down with MTV News and Sway Calloway on Thursday night (August 18) during "MTV First: Lady Gaga" to premiere her highly anticipated music video for "Yoü and I." And during her live interview, she's also set to make another big announcement.

After the video premieres at 7:49 p.m. ET on MTV and Logo, it will appear on mtvU, MTV Hits and Tr3s at 8 p.m. on Thursday. And immediately following the on-air portion, Gaga's interview and fan Q&A will stream live on MTV.com.

Want to get in on the fun? Submit questions beginning Monday (August 15) via Twitter using the hashtag #MTVGaga.

"Yoü and I" is the fourth video off of Gaga's chart-topping Born This Way. She's already dazzled fans with high-concept clips for "Born This Way" and "Judas" and then kicked it more lo-fi and old school in her video for "The Edge of Glory," which co-starred the late Clarence Clemons.

Gaga promised fans that she'll post a link to the video as her 1,000th tweet. So far she's posted several hints about the video as she approaches that number. Tweet #993 reads, "Love is a Result. We bare an Unbearable Human Inability: to just 'be.' " It also features a photo of a woman, presumably Gaga, in a white dress, sitting at a piano in the woods. Her next two tweets hinted that the premiere would take place in "Less than a week" and then the accompanying photo was of dirty feet in high-heeled platforms.

Go behind the scenes of a top-secret Lady Gaga shoot.

Last week Gaga tweeted out single artwork for "Yoü and I," which featured her male alter-ego, Jo Calderone. Gaga previously teased that the video would include another one of her alter egos, that of her mermaid incarnation, Yuyi.

Gaga shot the video in Nebraska last month and explained that it is about taking a journey to win back the one you love. "The [video is about the] idea that when you're away from someone you love, it's torture," she said. "I knew I wanted the video to be about me sprinting back and walking hundreds of thousands of miles to get him back."

Don't miss the premiere of the "Yoü and I" video during "MTV First: Lady Gaga," Thursday night at 7:49 p.m. ET on MTV and Logo, followed by a live Q&A with Gaga and her fans on MTV.com. Tweet your questions for the Mother Monster with the hashtag #MTVGaga.

What Kind of Beach Uses 7,937 Umbrellas to Block Out the Sun? A Freaking Weird One. [Ocean]

This is Haeundae Beach in South Korea. It's ridiculously popular with up to a million visitors per day. But the funny thing is, it's not the open sunny beach we know. Instead, it's lined with umbrellas to block out the sun. More »

Sony announcing three NEX lenses on August 24th?

Last month we fell in love with a camera. Specifically, the Sony NEX-C3. We were so enamored with its lilliputian body and stunning image quality that we gave it a "9," declared it nearly perfect and promptly began recommending it to everyone we know. But if there's one thing we thought needed improvement, it was the selection of lenses. Well, it looks like we had nothing to fret about -- a series of leaked shots suggest the outfit's had at least three in the works all along. According to the shots, originally posted in DPReview, we're looking at a 55-210mm / F4.5-6.3 zoom lens and fixed 50mm / F1.8 and 24mm / F1.8 numbers. Though the poster stopped short of revealing any pricing info, he seems confident Sony will announce them on August 24th. Now, while we typically take rumors with a grain of salt, it turns out that the tipster who posted these shots is none other than "Eddieaus," the same guy who splattered forums with pictures of the VAIO Z next to its external Power Media Dock -- the same press photos, in fact, that Sony unveiled days later. So we're inclined to believe NEX loyalists are about to get a few new pieces of glass to play with. And if that rumored August 24th launch date is also on the money, you won't have to wait too long to find out how many pretty pennies they'll cost.

Jani Lane, Ex-Warrant Singer, Found Dead

Jani Lane, the former frontman of the rock band Warrant, was found dead earlier this evening at a Comfort Inn hotel in Woodland Hills, California. He was 47. Details surrounding Lane’s death are scant, with TMZ reporting only that his body was found at the hotel this evening and no official cause of death has been made available. Lane has had a string of run ins with the law in the last few years. In 2009, he was arrested after running into a parked car and was charged with misdemeanor DUI. He was sentenced to two days in jail and three years probation. In May of 2010, he was arrested yet again after being pulled over on suspicion of driving under the influence. It was his second DUI conviction and therefore was sentenced to six months in jail. It’s so sad that he wasn’t able to overcome his demons. Lane was born John Kennedy Oswald and went by ‘Jani Lane’ in the mid 80′s. He joined Warrant in 1986, together with his Plain Jane bandmate Steven Sweet. Warrant’s 1989 debut album, Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich, saw three singles hit the Top 40 – ‘Heaven’, ‘Sometimes She Cries’ and ‘Down [...]
