If it’s an expansive ultrawide monitor you’re after, LG has a 34-inch model (34CB88-P) that might interest you. LG’s monitor is equipped with a curved IPS panel that has a 3440×1440 resolution and 21:9 aspect ratio. It also has a 5ms response time (GTG), 300 nits brightness, 178-degree viewing angles (horizontal and vertical), supports AMD’s FreeSync technology.

Every Threadripper CPU will come with a free mounting bracket that is compatible with a wide range of closed loop liquid coolers that are already on the market. To make things easy, AMD is maintaining a list of liquid cooling solutions that work with Threadripper. There are more than 20 solutions listed as being compatible with the included bracket, including ones from Arctic, Cooler Master, Corsair, Cryorig, EVGA, Fractal Design, NZXT, and Thermaltake. In addition to the list of existing cooler

Here we go again with chatter that an upcoming processor launch from Intel will not work with current generation motherboards. In this case, ASRock stated on Twitter that Intel’s 8th generation Core processors will not be supported on current generation 200-series motherboards that support Kaby Lake. “No, Coffee Lake CPU is not compatible with 200 series motherboards,” ASRock responded. It looks like ASRock has since deleted its tweet, though TomsHardware claims to have confirmed with the compan

One of the new features in the imminent update to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is that cars will now have horns. The patch, due today, has been available to try on PUBG’s public test servers where it has already become somewhat of an irritation to certain streamers, because some stream-snipers have become, well, stream-honkers. Stream-sniping, typically, involves playing on a server with a streamer while watching the livestream to gain an advantage. I have to admit I find it a bit amusing, but

Epitasis is a lovely-looking exploration game about alien worlds and ancient technology that sort of echoes the likes of The Talos Principle, Myst and No Man’s Sky. Here, the player has happened upon a so-called ancient portal wherein lies the remains of a forgotten yet futuristic world. “Cryptic puzzles, forgotten technologies and treasured relics are riddled amongst the beautiful wilderness that has engulfed the remains of this fallen race,” so describes the Epitasis Kickstarter blurb. Space-b

As you can see from the text, it draws you a card when you play it, but here’s the kicker, if that card happens to have a Deathrattle effect, then Roll the Bones will be cast again. What’s less clear is how many Deathrattle minions you need to run in order to ensure Roll the Bones’ effect gets consistent value. Suffice to say that you’re going to need around 12-16 Deathrattle cards to have a good time. Shallow Gravedigger , which draws you a random Deathrattle card when it dies, feels like a pot

First teased back in June, Conan Exiles has now officially unveiled its free and incoming ‘Frozen North’ expansion. Due August 16, the add-on delivers a new biome to the Exiles world—almost doubling its size—that boasts some suitably harsh weather conditions. Watch out for the latter, though, as nursing a hangover in the Frozen North doesn’t look pretty. As you can see there, new enemies take the form of Frost giants, wolves, wooly mammoths and the “mighty” dungeon-dwelling Death Knight. Conan E

Setting up the softwareThere are many options for cryptocurrency mining. Then configure the mining software to join the cryptocurrency network of your choosing, and dedicate your CPU/GPU/ASIC to the task of running calculations. If solo mining is like solo gaming in an MMO, block rewards have become the domain of large mining guilds, called mining pools. Doing the actual miningYou’ve got your hardware, you’ve joined a mining pool, and you’re ready to rock the cryptocurrency world. The thing you

I know you guys are introducing Tradition swapping so not every empire type will have access to the same Tradition trees. And this will also happen in [non-player] empires, which means new Machine Empires can spawn during the course of the game. So it’s mostly about integrating various features to fit the Machine Empires rather than adding a bunch of new, Machine Empire-related events. Is there a difference between how a Machine Empire interacts with a synthetic Ascended empire, versus how they

In the original Life is Strange, you played as Max, a sensitive photography student with the power to travel back in time. In Before the Storm, an episodic prequel series to Life is Strange starting August 31, you play as Max’s rebellious childhood friend Chloe—and she can’t alter time. It’s a perfect place for her to unwind, above it all and away from angry beer men, so she thrashes. But, as angry beer men do, the angry beer men show up, angry about beer. I get the option to run or fight, so I

It was an extremely pleasant surprise when last year’s Doom reboot turned out to be fantastic. If you’ve been thinking about playing it, then today’s a good day to buy in, as you can get Doom on Bundle Stars for 55 percent off. According to James’ review, Doom’s campaign “found a sweet spot nestled somewhere between nostalgia and modernity,” which is a spot often searched for but rarely found. It’s full price everywhere else right now, so this is the best offer you’ll find for the next four days

“The cornerstone of addressing in-game harassment is our ‘Player Mute’ and ‘Report’ systems,” says Psyonix in a new blog post—which is something the developer’s new ‘Language Ban’ hopes to address even further. Billed as a “new layer of automation” to the game’s pre-existing report-ban setup, the Language Ban system will automatically ban abusive players from online matches as per reports filed by players. “Each word has its own threshold, and once a threshold for any word has been reached, that

After much teasing and hint dropping, Take-Two and Rockstar Games announced Red Dead Redemption 2 last October. During a recent investors call (via VG24/7), Take-Two was asked directly about the PC market and the company’s biggest games. “The great news is that the PC market is vibrant for us. So, for us, the PC market as a company is very important and very exciting and something we focus on.” In any event, here’s Chris’ thoughts on why Rockstar has no reason not to deliver the next Red Dead ga

When my family first got a modem for our 486 it took us a while to figure out that, with this modem, it was possible to acquire software for free. But once we made this discovery, we went at it hard: setting up downloads that could sometimes take weeks in order to get our hands on [redacted]. The fact that, most of the time, these downloads wouldn’t work, or they’d be riddled with viruses, was almost part of the fun. Anyway, this free itch.io game b00tl3g kr3w is a harkening back to that era. Th

Welcome back to The PC Gamer Show , our weekly livestreamed podcast. You can catch the show live on Wednesdays at 1 pm PDT on our Twitch channel , or after the fact at any of the links below. This week we’ll be talking about our time with the latest game from the creators of Gone Home, the confusion over House Party’s removal and censored return to Steam, PUBG’s contentious crate system, and our usual Twitch chat Q&A. This week’s topics:We talk about what we’ve been playing Boverwatch and Evan t

Currently sitting as the 16th most-played game on Steam with 28,000 players, it’s more popular than a lot of things. “Everything is still pretty normal for me,” Nelson tells me over coffee. Unturned was never meant to be a commercial game, Nelson tells me. “There is kind of the core of survival games, but then I can bring in things from other games. Unturned currently has 91 percent positive reviews on Steam, where other popular games like Ark can barely keep above 50.

First revealed back in May, Spartan Fist is a voxel-based first-person arena brawler in which you play Emma Jones, a police detective with super powers who punches people in the face so hard that they literally explode. Don’t worry, though, because she’s doing it for a good cause: Money and fame. Developer Glass Bottom Games described Spartan Fist as “whimsically gritty,” which is an odd sort of juxtaposition that nonetheless fits. Spartan Fist promises procedurally-generated arenas and “high sk

ESL has announced that ESL One Hamburg, the largest Dota 2 throwdown in Europe, will be the first official Valve Major for the 2017-18 season. It will also be the first major Dota tournament to be held under the new format announced last month, when Valve revealed plans to scrap the previous Major system in favor of directly sponsoring more third-party tournaments. “We are extremely proud to see ESL One be named an official Valve Major,” ESL senior vice president of product Ulrich Schulze said.

Survival games are some of the most popular and most played games on Steam, despite many of them being Early Access titles. Further reading: Survival gets serious in The Long DarkArk: Survival EvolvedIn a sentence: Survival, crafting, and building—with dinosaurs. As a survival game, it’s still excellent, with well-implemented hunger and thirst systems and incredibly robust crafting and building. It’s not just a survival game but a harsh and unblinking look at the reality of war. Status: Early Ac
