VIDEO: The PC Gamer Show Ep. 120Welcome back to The PC Gamer Show , our weekly livestreamed podcast. This week we’ll be talking about the our brief time with Into the Breach before we get an introduction to Where the Water Tastes Like Wine, the new open world folktale-collecting game, from the creator himself. The intro and outro music for the audio version of the show are cuts from the official Where The Water Tastes Like Wine soundtrack, available on Steam, Bandcamp, and Spotify. Listen:Downlo

In what will very likely prove to be the day’s strangest videogame crossover, although let’s not rule anything completely out yet, Square Enix and Electronic Arts are bringing Sims 4 outfits to Final Fantasy 15 Windows Edition on Origin. And not just any Sims costumes, oh no: I’m talking about the Llama Suit and Plumbob, wearable by Noctis in the FF15 single-player campaign. The Sims 4 costume pack will be included with all purchases of Final Fantasy 15 on Origin until May 1. Beginning March 8,

There’s a problem of some sort in the March 2018 season roll, and so Blizzard has temporarily disabled Ranked Play. We are aware of an issue with the March 2018 Ranked Play season roll. Please keep an eye on this thread for updates: https://t.co/rtGcO5IRVM pic.twitter.com/mgmQFFYIgbFebruary 28, 2018″We are aware of an issue with Ranked Play progression for the March 2018 season roll. While we investigate, we have temporarily disabled Ranked Play mode in regions where the March season has begun,

Frostpunk, the game about building and maintaining a society in very undesirable (read: frosty) circumstances, will release in March. In other words, you’ll have plenty of freedom regarding how you’d like to evolve and nurture your snow swept community. More on the meat of the update can be read over here, alternatively there’s a video embedded below. On the subject of pricing, the game will cost US$29.99/EU$29.99 when it launches next month. If you want an idea of how it is to spend some time i

It was noticed recently that a number of Discord servers including Atomwaffen Division, Nordic Resistance Movement, and Ironmarch, seemed to have disappeared, very suddenly and without notice. “Discord has a Terms of Service (ToS) and Community Guidelines that we ask all of our communities and users to adhere to. These specifically prohibit harassment, threatening messages, or calls to violence,” a Discord rep told the site. There were a handful of servers that violated these ToS recently and we

There’s a game on Steam called Hunt Down The Freeman , released on February 23 by developer Royal Rudius Entertainment. If you go to its store page you’ll immediately notice a few hundred extremely negative Steam reviews. I talked with the developers of Hunt Down The Freeman to try to unravel the drama. The developers of Hunt Down The Freeman also point out that just because an asset looks familiar, doesn’t mean it’s been stolen. This will especially be the case when a licensed Half-Life game fe

A friend pointed me to Empires of the Undergrowth, which their Kickstarter page notes is influenced by both SimAnt and Dungeon Keeper. Empires is certainly recognizable as a SimAnt successor but it’s not a direct remake. Both games employ pheromones in directing ant behavior, for example, but you don’t play as just one ant in Empires. This is from SimAnt’s manual: “Food is shown in SimAnt as green balls. SimAnt’s manual defines SimAnt not as a game but a “software toy”, including the following (

Shattered Realms is a 2D brawler whose free demo supports up to two players. The Shattered Realms demo comes with three characters, as well as three sponsors who give different bonuses. It’s quite hefty for a free game, that’s for sure. Shattered Realms can be played with a keyboard, but I strongly recommend using a controller. You can get Shattered Realms for free on Itch, and you also have the option to donate up to $10 to developer Kopskop.

It seems Newegg has already started to some degree—it’s selling a Ryzen 7 1700X processor bundled with MSI’s X370 Gaming M7 Ack motherboard for $400 (after $30 mail-in-rebate). That’s not a bad foundation, assuming you’re interested in Ryzen. In this case, the Ryzen 7 1700X is an 8-core/16-thread processor with a 3.4GHz base clock and 3.8GHz boost clock, and 16MB of L3 cache. Clock for clock, Intel still has the advantage, but there is plenty of processing grunt here to work with. As for the mot

AMD and Ubisoft have partnered to gift Far Cry 5 to gamers who purchase a select prebuilt PC. Qualifying systems must have a Radeon RX Vega 64, Radeon RX Vega 56, or Radeon RX 580 graphics card inside and come from a specific list of vendors, of which there are several. That’s not the case with system builders, however, hence why AMD can run a promotion like this. How it works is after you purchase a qualifying system, you’ll receive a coupon code for Far Cry that you can redeem at AMD’s rewards

The new live-action trailer for the upcoming Montana mayhem simulator Far Cry 5 is a doozie. It tells the story of Joseph Seed before he was known as the Father, and his early days with Pastor Jerome. Jerome Jeffries is a Gulf War veteran who served as a priest in Hope County for 15 years. He befriended Joseph Seed during that time, but the two came into conflict once Seed’s Project and Eden’s Gate cult seized power. Far Cry 5 comes out on March 27.

Sharkoon has added another mouse pad to its 1337 series, one that is made of cloth and has RGB lighting. Being a cloth mouse pad with RGB lighting makes it somewhat unique, though gamers who are drawn to such a thing might be more appreciative of the price tag—just €20 (there’s no mention of US pricing), compared to twice as much or more for some other RGB mouse pads that are out there. SteelSeries’ QcK Prism offers both cloth and hard surfaces on the same mouse pad, but sells €69 in Europe and

As was the plan for more than a month, Democrats in the US Senate introduced legislation to restore net neutrality rules. The CRA gives Congress 60 legislative days to consider and overturn rules from federal regulatory agencies with a simple majority vote. Markey yelled to a group of net neutrality supporters standing outside the Capitol. After all, it was Pai who led the charge to repeal net neutrality rules in the first place. Once that happens, wireless carriers and ISPs will no longer be bo

I spend the majority of my time at a keyboard, so I’ve always thought of keyboarding as my most practical middle school elective. Now, I’m convinced, because if I hadn’t taken that class I may well have never played David Lynch Teaches Typing, a short, free typing game available on Itch courtesy of developer Rhino Stew. If, like me, you’re a culturally tone-deaf millennial, just know that David Lynch is famous for writing and directing such works as Twin Peaks and Eraserhead, to say nothing of h

The end of the competitive ladder season was fast approaching, and I had a desperately short amount of time to secure a good final rank. And securing a good final rank was a matter of huge, earth-shattering importance to me. Will “Modernleper” Bindloss Will is a former Hearthstone pro who, partly due to the events detailed here, now works as web editor for Ginx TV. For the game’s competitive players, the final day of the Hearthstone ladder season can best be described as a slow motion panic atta

and 80 Days developer Inkle announced a new project called Heaven’s Vault, a “character-driven graphic novel crossed with an open-world adventure game.” “Heaven’s Vault is the story of archaeologist Aliya Elasra, who sails the Nebula with her robot sidekick Six, finding and translating inscriptions written in the lost language of the ancients,” Inkle narrative director Jon Ingold explained. “And when we say language, we really mean it: for Heaven’s Vault, we’ve created an entire language for you

When asked about his opinion on cryptocurrency, Gates brought up the negative things that anonymous transactions can facilitate, such as money laundering and funding terrorist activities. Right now cryptocurrencies are used for buying fentanyl and other drugs so it is a rare technology that has cau
