    XCOM 2 announced....PC Exclusive

    The premise that the trailer presents is exciting. Leading an underground resistance makes for the best tactical and strategic gameplay. See A.I. Fleet War for a great example of that dynamic.

    Pay-To-Win Beats Out Multiplayer

    On PC. Console games tend not to be moddable, and the title being discussed appears to be a console title.

    First 20nm AMD APU - "Nolan", successor to Beema coming in 2015

    You have to understand how the mobile device market works. Really it operates like all other electronic markets. Even other consumer good markets operate in similar fashion. Low margin but high volume devices have the majority market share after some time has expired. This means ARM...

    Cool New High Speed Gesture Recognition

    That is seriously impressive. Gesture controls for TV, computers, vehicles and more coming in the (not so distant) future!

    Spotify Has 10 Million Paying Customers

    The math works out in Spotify's favor really. At 10% profit off the 10 USD monthly rate per subscriber, they should be pulling in around 100 million USD yearly, keeping them firmly in the black.

    Who wants some Wang!? Shadow Warrior Revival

    This game was frustratingly difficult for me. Good reminder of the crushing challenges that old school FPS's threw at us. I played on the second hardest difficulty as well.

    X: Rebirth official thread.

    Any idea as to the cause of the crashing? I am looking at purchasing this but fear mediocrity.

    Crytek reveals Arena of Fate for PC

    Crytek, attempting to remain relevant. I was certain they were nothing more than a game engine studio who made games to show case their product, much like Unreal. Who knows, mayhap this will be a worthwhile competitor in the crowding MOBA genre.

    ZeniMax Sues Oculus

    They had to challenge that though to keep their trademark or copyright. Blame the system, not the participants.

    ZOTAC Unveils New ZBOX Sphere OI520 Series

    Neat form factor and chassis. Next we need a slightly larger chassis complete with a high-end GPU.

    X: Rebirth official thread.

    If X:Rebirth is flawed, I am eager to see how Limit Theory ends up. Limit Theory is shaping up to be a X series killer.

    Steam In-Home Streaming Now Available To Everyone

    This is great! Looking to try this out soon, but good news for people with HTPCs.

    'Project Beast' Screenshots Leaked

    I think Miyazaki is a big reason why Demon's Souls and Dark Souls were so well-regarded. The boss encounters were fairly unique and challenging, and the pacing of both games was well done. There is also enough hidden content to keep you engaged for at least one playthrough.

    Oculus Rift Coming To Chuck E. Cheese's

    Logical move by the company to keep themselves relevant.

    Bombshell Reveal Trailer

    Evolution. Self-drive evolution, but evolution none the less. You have an odd way of fostering discussion by the way. Do you self-identify as a bird?

    eBay Hacked, Requests All Users Change Passwords

    Sure, but that can include the network administrators, not just the non-IT staff.

    Buying a mechanical keyboard for the first time

    I find red switches better if you are looking for a gaming and typing compromise. Otherwise, blue switches are best for typing and brown are best for gaming. Unfortunately, backlit mechanical keyboards tend to carry a price premium as most non-backlit keyboards can be gotten for less than $100...

    eBay Hacked, Requests All Users Change Passwords

    This is why you invest in training for employees to prevent these breaches. The weakest link in the security chain is most often the users.

    These Companies Want to Control Your Internet

    That could be prevented quite easily though. Imagine a company who lays fiber to lease use of their network to internet providers. The idea is already there with the tiered internet services out there, it is just impeded by government regulation and laws.

    Americans Dissatisfied With Their Cable Companies

    Companies are handed licenses to perform business as a monopoly in entire regions by the Federal government. Is it any surprise competition is stifled which causes the service or product offered to be lackluster?

    What game have you logged the most hours on?

    DOTA2 has 1000 hours. CS:GO is closing on that number and I expect it to eclipse it before the end of this year at 900+ hours. In WoW vanilla I had logged over 14 days worth of play time. Add in time played in Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm and it probably moves closer to 25 days played.

    Youtube purchases Twitch.tv for 1 billion.

    I believe the guys that made Twitch Plays Pokemon are working on something inspired by that experience. Supposedly a game that is influenced by Twitch stream viewers. Ahh, found it. Here it is: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1451486150/choice-chamber/

    H1Z1 - New SOE Game

    This could be promising, we will all need to wait for people to play and see how the finished product ends up.

    Your latest videogame purchase

    Factorio. http://www.factorio.com/ This game is great if you are really into building large, complex systems. You start out with a meager automation setup and eventually you will have structures and automation systems spread out over a large area, defended by automated laser turrets...

    Videogame Software Keeps Sliding While Hardware Soars

    This cannot be restated enough honestly. Until the big developers begin to branch out into smaller indie style game development for new franchises using new game mechanics, I will not be excited for most AAA titles.

    Russian Satellite Launch Ends in Embarrassing Flames

    I think it quite telling when private companies are more conservative in the missions they launch into space. Small communication satellites and the like are all that are economically viable at the moment.

    Wolfenstein: The New Order Launch Trailer

    Watch the reviews, Let's Play videos and the like before you jump on-board. The previous entry was lackluster at best.

    Far Cry 4 Release Date Announced

    If FC4 is anything like FC3 with improved free roam, better missions and some other mechanics I cannot fathom at the moment, then color me excited.

    Verizon Just killed Your Dreams of Getting FiOS

    They do not need to offer cutting-edge technology or fantastic customer service. Anti-trust laws exist to protect the big players in each of the respective industries. They do not foster or protect competition -- in fact, they do the opposite. Were the government to abolish all economic laws...

    License Plate Reader Mfg. Sways Public Opinion with Dubious Polls

    Is it reasonable that he continue to be harassed by law enforcement because of a misguided use of technology? How should he go about getting compensated for his time spent with a traffic cop?

    Major ISPs Accused Of Deliberately Throttling Traffic

    Good markets are free, open markets. Consumers can regulate industries, no need to bring in an iron-fisted group like government.

    So Is anybody stoked for Watch Dogs as the date nears?!,, I am sure everybody is.

    Great idea. If the game meets expectations, I will be surprised. If it exceeds them, I will be shocked.

    What kind of chair do you use for your gaming pc?

    This chair, for the price, is amazing. Extremely comfortable; I do not feel any fatigue from sitting unless I pull insane 4+ hour marathon sessions.

    Alien: Isolation

    The amount of work they are putting into getting the atmosphere and look of the game to match Alien is awesome. Hopefully the game runs and plays like it looks in the dev vlogs.

    The Intruder

    Intruder is in early access and early alpha builds. The graphics, art and models can be improved over time. Good new is the gameplay appears to already be in a good place.

    Good FPS PC Games?

    Counter-Strike: Global Offensive while great, is an iterative update to Counter-Strike and Counter-Strike: Source. Enhanced graphics and effects (using its own version of the Source engine), better sound, more updates and a larger community than any of the previous iterations of Counter-Strike...

    Endless Legend

    Awesome. From your brief review (overview?) it sounds like they are bringing a solid entry into the fantasy 4X realm. I will likely grab this closer to its full release.
