Woah okay, where can I get the game? Is it downloadable or buyable?. Thanks :D

For the physical version, you can purchase it from any good local games or online retailer.

For the digital version, you can buy directly from EA's Origin platform or from other online websites.

Ive been hovering over the buy button for a day or two now, you liking it?

Yeah I'm liking it.  It's a quazi-side-scrolling (side scroller, but with a little bit of depth where you can walk forward and back) game.  I'm not sure whether I would call it a "puzzle" game, or a horror game, or what.  There's no story line blatantly announced or told, it just sort of drops you into this world and you sort of figure it out as you go and things happen.

 

I'm still pretty early in the game, I just now made it to the third "level" or "zone" or whatever you wanna call it, but so far I've enjoyed it enough to make it worth the $20 USD I paid for it, :)

 

Edit: Also, here's a link to screenshots I've taken of the game so far: http://steamcommunity.com/id/gerowen/screenshots/?appid=424840&sort=newestfirst&browsefilter=myfiles&view=imagewall

Quake champs (is ok IMO, nothing special tbh, Q3 with new gfx) and Player unknowns Battleground....omg so addictive , put it this way, i lost 11hours to it on Saturday with 3 mates. Only realised once my bum cheeks started to hurt and it was dark outside....oooops bang goes all of saturday then!

 

Also picked up Alan Wake for £2.99 with the DLC, kept meaning to play this when it came out. Ive played the first 30 mins or so, got to the cottage on the island.

I am loving the Last of Us remastered on PS4 Pro  with 4k HDR TV.    Amazing :)


I played it for couple of hours on PS3 before, did not like it much at first...   but now I am 8 hours in and I am loving every bit of it.

 

Also playing Ratchet and Clank and Dishonored 4.    Both only 1 hour in, but liking them so far.

Since I last posted here I finished Horizon: Zero Dawn and Mass Effect: Andromeda.

Now I'm playing The Witcher 3 on the PS4 (had it on PC before but grabbed the "complete edition" on PS4 as well when I found it on sale for $20.  I LOVE CD Projekt Red so I figured I'd put more of my money in their pocket at that price.

 

Also my Steam PC died (I only put Steam on my prior PC as I'm trying to break from Steam and go mostly DRM-free going forward. I still want access to games I already bought though and I often get codes from various things like Kickstarter).  So I'm down to my DRM-free primary PC and the PS4 until I build a new PC later this year (which will become my new DRM-free PC and my current one will become my Steam box).  Also my gf has taken to enjoying watching me game on the PS4 (I can't imagine watching someone else play a game for hours but I'm not going to complain if I get to the be one playing, rofl) so that's what I mostly do now.

When she's not home though and I get some PC time I'm working on Torment: Tides of Numenera but it's slow going as I get very little PC time.

I actually finished "Little Nightmares" a couple weeks ago, but thought I would post my verdict here for those curious about the game.

 

The game is actually fairly short.  I finished my first play-through in 6 hours, and I died a few times and spent some time trying to find some more collectibles on my first time through.  However, the game was only $20 at release, and it's extremely well executed, so I can forgive it for being short.  It's a platformer/puzzle adventure game where your primary goal is to navigate the world without being caught.  It sort of makes me think of something that would be inspired by "Spirited Away" and directed or drawn by Tim Burton.  The story line is never explicitly stated either.  There's no speaking, no written language of any kind, the story unfolds as you interact with the world around you and the characters in it.  It's a beautifully done game though and highly recommend it, :-)

 

If you would like to read it, I have a longer review written on Steam here: http://steamcommunity.com/id/gerowen/recommended/424840

For me, it was worth every hour spend. One of the best modern games I ever played. 

Currently, I'm jumping between Alien, Isolation and Overwatch on the Xbox One.  Alien, Isolation is such a pain to play especially when the Alien can pop out of anywhere.  I've died more than I care to admit because it popped out of a vent shaft or I was too loud walking. :(

I have just finished Mass Effect: Andromeda and I have to say, I actually really enjoyed it. Once you get over the animation issues, it has a good story that I'm looking forward to see how it progresses.

I'll be playing the new Prey next.

ive started playing the latest wildlands DLC, pretty good so far, once you accept you have to now make a 3rd character....no idea why they thought this was a good idea on every DLC for it, it seems, makes all the hours you spent maxing out your perks pointless in the original game.....like duh! But what do you expect from Ubisoft :p

ARMS global testpunch - surprisingly difficult and in-depth fighter. Sadly I don't think it's possible to play without motion controls during the test, but I can see myself enjoying it more without them.

Dawn of War 3

PlayerUnknown's BattleGrounds - finally a survivor / battle royale game which doesn't suck or has a dev making promises which they'll never keep or features that will never be implemented.

    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might need multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
    • Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 by Razvan Serea Microsoft Edge is a super fast and secure web browser from Microsoft. It works on almost any device, including PCs, iPhones and Androids. It keeps you safe online, protects your privacy, and lets you browse the web quickly. You can even use it on all your devices and keep your browsing history and favorites synced up. Built on the same technology as Chrome, Microsoft Edge has additional built-in features like Startup boost and Sleeping tabs, which boost your browsing experience with world class performance and speed that are optimized to work best with Windows. Microsoft Edge security and privacy features such as Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, Password Monitor, InPrivate search, and Kids Mode help keep you and your loved ones protected and secure online. Microsoft Edge has features to keep both you and your family protected. Enable content filters and access activity reports with your Microsoft Family Safety account and experience a kid-friendly web with Kids Mode. The new Microsoft Edge is now compatible with your favorite extensions, so it’s easy to personalize your browsing experience. Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 changelog: Migration to improved V2 architecture for Workspaces. Workspaces, introduced in Edge in 2022, allows users to create durable sets of tabs that can be saved and shared with others. In order to improve reliability and performance of this feature, the following changes are being made: Migrating data for saved Workspaces from OneDrive/SharePoint to Edge Sync service Removing the collaboration/share functionality of this feature For organizations who have disabled Sync through policy, the existing v1 Workspace data will still be migrated to the new architecture. New v2 Workspaces created after migration won't sync across devices and will remain local to each device. This update occurs on a progressive rollout beginning in Edge Stable v145 and will continue rolling out in Edge v149. For more information, see Getting started with Microsoft Edge Workspaces. Feature Updates Passkey Sync for Enterprise Users. Microsoft Edge is introducing support for passkey synchronization for enterprise users, enabling secure, passwordless authentication across devices. Passkeys created in Edge can now be synced seamlessly, improving sign-in experience while maintaining strong security standards. Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this change, check back as we continue the rollout. Enterprise WebView2 runtime downgrade via DowngradeVersion policy. Administrators can temporarily roll back specific applications to a previous WebView2 Evergreen Runtime version (N-1 or N-2) using the new DowngradeVersion policy in msedgewebview2.admx. The Downgrade Version policy allows enterprises to mitigate critical regressions by specifying per-application exe-to-version mappings. The Edge Updater installs the target version side-by-side, and the WebView2 Loader redirects targeted apps accordingly. Downgrades auto-expire with each new WebView2 release: apps pinned to N-1 remain on the same version (now becoming N-2) and will auto-update in the next release, while apps pinned to N-2 will revert to the current Evergreen version. The policy applies only to enterprise-managed devices (domain-joined or MDM-enrolled). For more information, see Microsoft Edge WebView2 Policy Documentation | Microsoft Learn. Collections retirement. Collections has been removed in this update. Users can no longer access or use the feature. To keep saved content, users can export it, or move all pages to Favorites before updating to Microsoft Edge Stable 149. For more information, see Organize your ideas with Collections in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Support. Modern, unified, and updated Look and Feel. Microsoft Edge has updated the Look and Feel to give customers a unified experience across all of Microsoft AI surfaces including Copilot and Bing. This changes multiple elements of the UX such as spacing, corners, fonts, default colors, etc. Clarify choices surrounding third-party cookie settings. Language under Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies are clarified to better describe the choices users have in managing third-party cookies. Custom primary password retirement. Users are no longer able to create a new custom primary password in Edge Settings edge://settings/autofill/passwords/settings. Any users who are still using a custom primary password will be automatically migrated to device authentication. Additionally, the PrimaryPasswordSetting policy will no longer support the WithCustomPrimaryPassword option. For more information, see Keep your saved passwords private in Microsoft Edge | Microsoft Support. Unifying Copilot Chat policy controls. The Microsoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled policy is the standard for configuring Copilot Chat. Previously, this behavior was controlled by blocking the Copilot extension, either explicitly or by using the * wildcard via the ExtensionSettings or ExtensionInstallBlockList policies. Extension and sidebar policies no longer affect the appearance or functionality of Copilot Chat. Copilot address bar suggestions were also tied to extension policy settings. Starting in Microsoft Edge version 149, admins can use the CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled policy to manage this behavior. Intune MAM Protected Downloads. The protected downloads feature for Intune MAM is now available for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) devices, which aren't managed by a tenant.

    • Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2 by Razvan Serea Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project (which is no longer maintained) and contains many additional features and bug fixes. As the continuation of the original Media Player Classic, MPC-HC isn’t flashy but it works with nearly any media format. MPC-HC uses DXVA technology to pass decoding operations to your modern video card, enhancing your viewing experience. And MPC-HC supports both physical and software DVDs with menus, chapter navigation, and subtitles. Overview of features A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about: Dark interface Menu > View > Dark Theme When using dark theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons. Options > Advanced Video preview on the seekbar Options > Tweaks > Show preview on seek bar Adjust playback speed Menu > Play > Playback rate The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%): Options > Playback > Speed step Adjusting playback speed works best with the internal audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction. Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer MPC-HC can remember playback position, so you can resume from that point later Options > Player > History You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel. You can jump to next/previous file in a folder by pressing PageUp/PageDown. You can perform automatic actions at end of file. For example to go to next file or close player. Options > Playback > After Playback (permanent setting) Menu > Play > After Playback (for current file only) A-B repeat - You can loop a segment of a video. Press [ and ] to set start and stop markers. You can rotate/flip/mirror/stretch/zoom the video Menu > View > Pan&Scan This is also easily done with hotkeys (see below).

You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites Put yt-dlp.exe or youtube-dl.exe in the MPC-HC installation folder. Then you can open website URLs in the player: Menu > File > Open File/URL You can even download those videos: Menu > File > Save a copy Tip: to be able to download in best quality with yt-dlp/youtube-dl, it is recommended to also put ffmpeg.exe in the MPC-HC folder. Several YDL configuration options are found here: Options > Advanced This includes an option to specify the location of the .exe in case you don't want to put it in MPC-HC folder. Play HDR video This requires using madVR or MPC Video Renderer. After installation these renderers can be selected here: Options > Playback > Output Ability to search for and download subtitles, either automatically or manually (press D): Options > Subtitles > Misc Besides all these (new) features, there have also been many bugfixes and internal improvements in the player in the past years that give better performance and stability.
