*Killer Queen* isn’t just an annoying song played at dive bars. It’s also a rad team-based 12-player version of *Joust* with bees and snails. And [if you’re in NYC, there’s a tournament this Friday](http://kotaku.com/if-you-re-in-or-near-new-york-city-you-should-go-chec-637312118?ref=killscreen.com).

> “My informants concur on one essential fact: the tango originated in the brothels.”

—notes from [the journal of Jorge Luis Borges](http://www.openculture.com/2013/06/two%5Fdrawings%5Fby%5Fjorge%5Fluis%5Fborges%5Fillustrate%5Fthe%5Fauthors%5Fobsessions.html?ref=killscreen.com), the late Argentine writer fond of labyrinths and mathematical concepts of infinity.

[*Proteus*](http://www.polygon.com/2013/7/1/4482688/curve-bringing-indie-title-proteus-to-ps3-and-vita-this-fall?ref=killscreen.com), which still sets the bar for games that are made to be heard as well as played, is coming to PlayStation. W00T! Bust out the tie-dye.

Baseball is all-American, but also all kinds of boring. So Tom Russotti [has taken to Kickstarter](http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/81358564/aesthletics-in-moldova?ref=killscreen.com) to fund the invention of new sports in Moldova!

*[Fract](http://fractgame.com/?ref=killscreen.com),* described as *Myst* meets *Rez* meets *Tron*, is being backed by Indie Fund, angel investors of favorites such as *Monaco*, *Antichamber*, and *Dear Esther*. Their neon thank you note, below.

Thatgamecompany, you know, those guys of *Journey* fame, had a [Reddit-style Q&A](https://twitter.com/thatgamecompany/status/352067330051805184?ref=killscreen.com) on Twitter yesterday. It’s worth perusing, if only for their endearingly liberal use of emoticons.

Not unsurprisingly, *World of Tanks*, the title that singlehandedly defines the tank genre, comes from [a land that was once literally a world of tanks](http://www.edge-online.com/features/open-world-the-new-wave-of-international-games-fostered-by-the-democratisation-of-development/?ref=killscreen.com), the little known country of Belarus. Also, tanks!

This striking home in Ibaraki is [the chess board of modernist architecture](http://www.domusweb.it/en/architecture/2013/07/1/the%5Fgame%5Fof%5Flife.html?ref=killscreen.com).

[The *Dwarf Fortress* guys](http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/195148/dwarf%5Ffortress%5Fin%5F2013.php?page=1&ref=killscreen.com) claim they were offered an amount in the range of six-figures to license the name of their esoteric, unapproachable, and cloistered dwarf commune disaster sim. I’m just wondering what spendthrift marketing exec thought that was a good idea.

Because bears need their beauty sleep…

And in case you’re in desperate need of something to play over the hot summer holiday, [the new *Walking Dead* episode will be here shortly](http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/07/01/the-walking-dead-400-days-has-a-release-date?ref=killscreen.com). (Unless you’re playing on iOS, meh.)

*Have a safe and awesome Fourth!*
