Generally speaking, liquid cooling does not involve dunking your system into a vat of coolant. Allied Computers is at the SC17 (SuperComputing) conference in Denver, Colorado, where it’s showing off its Immersion Cooling technology. Have a look:#SC17 Cool cooling solution!!! It’s a special liquid from 3M called Novec, and it’s used in data centers where cooling is hyper critical. “In contrast to submersion oil cooling, liquids are clean, environmentally friendly and non-flammable.

With base defense shooter Sleep Tight, We Are Fuzzy is trying to leverage that silly, youthful fear, that battle between children and their imaginations. Only in Sleep Tight, the monsters are very real. In their TIGsource development blog, We Are Fuzzy describes Sleep Tight as a twin-stick shooter with survival elements. The childhood motif permeates every aspect of Sleep Tight. Even at this early stage, Sleep Tight looks flavorful and unique.

To commemorate the three-year anniversary of grim survival game This War of Mine, today developer 11 Bit Studios released Father’s Promise, the first episode of a new DLC series which “focuses on narrative over pure survival.” The season pass for This War of Mine: Stories goes for $5, with more episodes to come in 2018. “Father’s Promise is a story-driven experience based on an audio-drama by award-winning Polish author Łukasz Orbitowski,” 11 Bit says. 11 Bit says Stories episodes will introduce

Last week, Stardew Valley creator Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone excitedly invited players to look at his cabin. Which was not, to be clear, a euphemism: Multiplayer testing was “coming along great,” he said, and he wanted to show off his work. Today he unveiled something else he’d like us all to take a good hard look at. I’m working on some new Stardew Valley content, to be released with the upcoming free multiplayer update. Barone said in a follow-up tweet that the new material is coming to both t

“In 1996, the first time I came across [Harvest Moon], I had a chance to localize and publish it in America. We had a lot of loyal Harvest Moon fans in Europe and America, and I said to myself, we shouldn’t—we cannot say to these loyal fans that there will be no more Harvest Moon games.” In 2014 Taekawa and his team started making their own games under the Harvest Moon name, starting with Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley. Everyone has a favorite Harvest Moon, so they want all Harvest Moons to be ex

A pair of previously-unseen vehicles—a pickup truck and a jet ski—have been dug out of the Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds test code by a redditor named Art_7s. The dataminer also found a mode for a new weapon, the DP-28, a Soviet light machine gun from the 1950s. They all look a little rough around the edges (and the jet ski looks like a clog with handlebars), but “these are just the raw assets without the UE4 PBR materials so they’re gonna look like crap as is,” Art_7s said in the thread. “But w

This is a celebration of incidental animations that don’t help you win or make you lose or do much of anything important. There’s a madness to incidental animation, that so much effort has been lavished into producing something so ancillary, something which many players might never come across. The Alternator was designed by Respawn animator Ranon Sarono, who’s a master of the gun animation form. Far Cry 2: jammed shotgunTechnically, Far Cry 2’s gun-jamming animations don’t fit our criteria for

Within the next few weeks, and likely before the end of the year, Microsoft and its hardware partners will unveil Windows 10 laptops running on Qualcomm’s flagship 835 processor. Winfuture.de discovered several entries on Geekbench’s website that are listed as “Qualcomm CLS” systems running 32-bit versions of Windows 10 S and Windows 10 Pro. Sorting these entries by high score, the best numbers achieved so far are 1,202 for Geekbench’s single-score benchmark, and 4,263 for its multi-core test. ”

Although modest compared to last week’s mammoth sale, the latest weekly Steam sale is still plenty big at over 300 games. The cheapest is Downwell, a 2D action game about collecting items and bouncing on bad guys while falling down a well. The base game is $3, and as we said in our review, is both an excellent roguelike and a great rhythm action game. The slightly discounted Necrodancer Amplified Pack is available for $7, while the DLC itself is under $5 at 33 percent off. It’s a tongue-in-cheek

A decade has passed since Roccat introduced its first Kone mouse. To celebrate the mouse’s 10-year anniversary, Roccat is releasing another variant, the Kone AIMO, with features based on customer feedback. Whereas the original Kone had two lighting strips, the new Kone AIMO has four, with multi-zone illumination and a new lighting ecosystem. Roccat says it’s been able to enhance the feel while retaining the shape of the original Kone. Other features include a 4D Titan scroll wheel, Omron button

The Call of Duty: WWII emblem editor is a pretty great thing. It lets you do stuff like this:And this:And this (On a completely unrelated note, the 2017 Game Awards nominations are out. “Because most of our players are using a mouse & keyboard we wanted to take advantage of that, particularly for the UX around Emblem Editor. “The Emblem Editor is planned to be released in December, but stay tuned for more details on what PC specific features we are adding.” Also delayed, as noted on Twitter by A

Given how popular RGB lighting has become, it had not occurred to us that Cooler Master had not yet released a liquid cooler with RGB lighting. Cooler Master says both designs are manufactured in-house, as opposed to simply slapping its brand on another company’s cooler. They feature low-profile dual-chamber RGB pumps with six lighting effects enabled through an included RGB controller. Cooler Master claims the design allows for a higher flow rate and heat exchange efficiency. Cooler Master says

HTC announced a completely wireless Vive VR head unit this evening in China, called the Vive Focus. Vive is calling this “world-scale” tracking, essentially giving the Vive Focus the ability to roam around without a fixed boundary. The new Vive Focus adds counter balance to eliminate strain. The Vive Focus will run games and programs loaded directly to the headset, similar to what you would do on a Samsung Gear VR, powered by a phone. However, the Vive Focus will eliminate the PC completely, whi

Arena started as a twin-stick shooter built for mobile devices. One way or another”I thought to myself that I’d like to dream big with Arena,” Bushell says. That’s why he put out a free demo showcasing three of Arena 3D’s game modes, which you can find on Steam. And their bit of feedback has helped step up the responsiveness for the other game modes I’m developing.” The demo covers three game modes, but there are six in all.

Now the company is starting to incorporate water and dust-resistance too, beginning with the popular BlackWidow Ultimate. Razer redesigned the BlackWidow Ultimate to be the most resilient keyboard in its stable. “The Razer BlackWidow Ultimate is now more durable than ever and our first mechanical keyboard to incorporate water- and dust-resistant features.” Breaking down the IP54 rating, the “5” represents limited protection against dust ingress, and the “4” denotes protection from splashes of wa

Final Fantasy 15 is coming to PC next year, which means, I assume, it’ll launch with the incoming ‘Comrades’ multiplayer expansion in tow. Esteemed series composer Nobuo Uematsu has composed a song for the latter, and is pretty chuffed with how it’s turned out. Elsewhere, Suzuki suggests the song “goes beyond the realm of gaming”, while Uematsu goes as far to say he “feels like this could usher in a new era” of videogame RPG music. Due tomorrow on consoles, Final Fantasy 15’s Comrades multiplaye

Assassin’s Creed Origins lets you step back in time and experience the twilight years of ancient Egypt. Bayek visits the city in Origins and is asked by a local priest to find out why the sacred beast has suddenly begun weeping blood. Bayek visits the library in its prime and finds the halls filled with scribes and the shelves lined with scrolls. Great Sphinx of GizaThe Great Sphinx is one of the defining images of ancient Egypt, although not much is known about it. Carved from limestone near th
