Help requested!

Before I forget to ask about it again, I'm trying to remember the name of a video game I saw previewed on X-Play, possibly early last year or the year before.

Here's what I recall: it was a mix of military sci-fi and ancient Norse mythology. I think you play a somewhat-futuristic soldier in a world where the Norse gods and myths are tangibly real. I don't know that for certain, though. I do distinctly recall a cut-scene from the game where a sort-of techno-valkyrie descends from Valhalla, appearing to silver-armored marines with headsets and laserguns(?) who are in service to the Aesir.

What is the name of this game? Was it ever released? What platform is it for? Am I the only one who knows what I'm talking about because Google sure doesn't? ( Help me, Obi-wan Jason! You are my only hope! ;P )

This is a call for links. If you write a short fiction blog you even occasionally update, I am adding a links-page/blogroll/final-form-to-be-decided to The Well of Mimir, my unfortunately-irregularly-updated short fiction blog, and if you would like to be listed there let me know.

Also, if you read a short fiction blog etc. that you think is grand, let me know (yes, Hitherby is going on that list if I can get ahold of Ms. Borgstrom to OK it/give her a heads-up -- anyone know how?). And I've spoken with Brendan and Anacrusis has been listed (which you should be reading if you aren't because you have one minute out of your day).

I also might include weekly/irregular webcomics in that list as well. I haven't really decided yet.

I'm looking to read some good science-fantasy these days for color and inspiration, but find myself at a loss of what to read: I just don't know about many books that fall into this category or about the authors who write in the genre. Any suggestions?

Also, I'm looking to get my hands on a copy of Phoenae: The Fierce Joy of Being Alive, an out-of-print RPG from Ian Press that came out some years back (and which I have never seen since). If anyone has a copy they would be willing to sell, or knows where I can score a copy, please let me know!

1. Hard Listening: knowing a priori what others will say
2. Mental Telepathy: blaming others for not hearing what one is thinking
3. Verbal Paranoia: feeling persecuted when disagreed with
4. Rampant Cross-Confidence: believing expertise held for everything
5. Omnilogomania: interest in everything, but not focused on anything
6. Boundry Blundering: failing to distinguish theoretical from pragmatic
7. Superior Survivorship: believing intelligence equals survival potential

Frex, as an example of 7, I was recently reading an article about a mother who died of water poisoning after participating in a water drinking contest for a radio station, trying to win a Wii for her kids.

A self-described intellectual commented that this was a good thing because "We need less stupid people breeding in the world" (note the commenter's confusion between ignorance and stupidity, and the idea that smart people just don't die in foolish ways).

There are of course other ways 7 expresses itself (such as in certain economic and interpersonal myths).
