A lovingly crafted, hand-drawn and fully voiced point-and-click adventure game that has you exploring 1950's Ireland and a strange new world in search of your father
Indie adventure horror game that has you interacting with the spirits of the dead, solving the puzzles of a mysterious mansion and helping Elena find her missing father
Stealth Bastard Deluxe
Subtitled "Tactical Espionage Arsehole", this 2D stealth platformer has you sneaking through a deadly facility that seems determined to get you
Majesty Collection
Real time strategy with indirect control, where you need to influence your heroes to carry out your will and defend your domain
Sony released a State of Play announcement this week talking about some of their upcoming projects, and they look interesting
We'll be getting an asymmetrical cooperative/competitive game in 2020 set in the Predator universe called Predator: Hunting Ground
No gameplay was shown, but it seems to follow the lines of the Friday the 13th game or Evolve where one player is the predator and the others are part of a fire team trying to take it down
We'll also see a MediEvil remake on the PS4 this October 25th
The remake of the PSOne classic looks pretty nice, coming to 4k resolutions from the old jagged polygons, and I'm looking forward to playing the fun and weird story once again
Sony dropped a trailer for the Final Fantasy VII remake they announced four years ago, including gameplay and cutscenes, and it looks really good
Still no word on a release date, but it ends with "More to come in June" so I'll be keeping an eye out
Firefox users may have noticed some problems with their extensions this week, namely that they've been completely broken
Apparently Mozilla forgot to renew a security certificate that expired on May 3rd, causing many add-ons to the browser to stop working entirely
Apparently they've released a potential temporary fix, but there are many cases in which it may not work for people
For instance if they're on Android, the Tor browser, or have certain settings disabled related to Studies
Despite the problems Mozilla developers are advising against using workaround, and saying not to delete and reinstall add-ons to try and fix the issue
Some workarounds circulating online, they caution, could even leave your data vulnerable to potential attacks
In the meantime they've made an updated version available for desktop and Android to address the issues, and other platforms should have the new version as soon as possible
Samsung has officially acknowledged they have no idea when the Galaxy Fold will hit users
Pre-order customers in the US have been told that, if they don't respond confirming the order and the devices haven't shipped by May 31st, the orders will be automatically cancelled
Considering the supply chain and logistics required, if they don't know whether they're shipping this month by now they're not shipping
Adobe is quietly testing new pricing for its Creative Cloud Photography bundle, doubling the price from $10 to $20USD per month
The new plan also brings cloud storage up from 20GB to 1TB, but for anyone not using Adobe storage there's no added benefit
The original price is available on a hidden section of the site, which is just really weird way to run a test. Was the test us noticing?
It looks like Bethesda is under fire this week for their brief pen-and-paper RPG adventure set between Cyrodiil and Elsweyr, that not only uses D&D 5th edition rules (which are open sourced and is completely fine) but also copied entire sections from a published adventure called The Black Road
Entire characters and lines of text seem to have been copied wholesale from the adventure, causing Bethesda to take the whole thing down while they investigate
Video game can detect early Alzheimer's symptoms
Written by Zack Zweizen published on Kotaku
Video game to detect Alzheimer's disease earlier symptoms
The forgetfulness is a late stage symptom and not the best for detection
PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America) has already studied and sees the game as effective
In Sea Hero Quest, which is a VR game, players have to navigate and control a virtual boat. They are given a map and shown checkpoints, then the map is taken away and players must navigate to these checkpoints in the game world without the map.
According to researchers, every two minutes spent playing the game is equal to five hours of lab-based research. Because Sea Hero Quest has been out for a few years and downloaded and played by over three million players they've collected the equivalent of 1,700 years of research data on Alzheimer's.
Researchers involved with the project studied people who carried the APOE4 gene, which is thought to increase that person's risk of developing dementia, as they played the game. They then compared these people's results to the results of folks who played the game who don't have that gene.
"We found that people with a high genetic risk, the APOE4 carriers, performed worse on spatial navigation tasks. They took less efficient routes to checkpoint goals," said Professor Michael Hornberger, a member of the team.
Using data gathered from thousands of players who downloaded and played Sea Hero Quest, researchers were able to create a baseline that their test results could be compared to. In the future, the team hopes this data and the game will help identify people who need treatment for dementia before they begin suffering from some of the worse later stage symptoms.
Amazing Overwatch Mode made in Workshop Spies VS Mercs
code v2: EAGMB

Each team and character have his own mechanic.
Spies team:
You can knockdown mercs if you hit them from behind with a melee attack. https://gfycat.com/fr/backjauntyduck
You can't spam the melee attack to knockdown mercs as soon as they get up, they will have a temporary immunity before being vulnerable to knockdown again.

Smoke Grenade (Ability 2)
You create a smoky area and become invisible for 5 seconds.
Tear sticky mine (Primary Fire)

You don't trigger mercs's mines when you crouch and you can defuse these by approaching and using the hack. https://gfycat.com/fr/activerewardingarachnid
You can wall jump, once in the air and facing a wall press (Jump) to get a second impulsion. https://gfycat.com/fr/quarterlysnappygourami
The spies can help each other to reach higher positions with a cooperative action. When a spy crouch and stay idle, his ally can get a boost when pressing (Interact) on the crouched spy. https://gfycat.com/fr/deficientediblearacari
Invisibility ability is now energy limited.
The energy consumption depends on your speed. https://gfycat.com/fr/ignorantsplendidcrocodileskink
Your energy slowly recover when you are not using the ability.
Mercs team:
4 classes: Ashe, Soldier 76, Widowmaker and Baptiste.
Abilities now use unique ammo, except for exceptions (like sprint).
If your ability is a placeable object you can only have one active at a time.
You can refill your abilities ammo on one of the three supplies designed by a yellow ring. https://gfycat.com/fr/forcefulglisteninggelada
Once used, the supply is unavailable for 1 minute.
Ashe:
Incendiary Mine (Ability 1)
Explode and burn everyone in his radius when a spy trigger it. https://gfycat.com/fr/threadbareamusedasianwaterbuffalo
To set the trap, hold (Ability 1) for 1 second on a surface.
The spy trigger the trap even if he is invisible.
The spy can defuse it.
It can cause friendly fire.
Soldier 76:
When using tactical visor, your speed is raised to the same as the sprint ability.
Stun Mine (Ability 2)

Widowmaker:
Sprint (Shift)
Widowmaker sprints like Soldier: 76 but can also sprint backwards.
Motion Sensor (Ability 2)
Detect everything moving in a 20m radius and in 360 degrees. https://gfycat.com/fr/healthyadvancedgrouper
To set the sensor, hold (Ability 2) for 1 second on a surface.

It doesn't detect crouch.
Can still detect invisible spies.
The Spy can disable it.
Baptiste:
Chaff Grenade (Ability 1)
Reduce any spy energy who got caught in the radius to 0 https://gfycat.com/fr/scarceselfreliantafghanhound
Surveillance camera (Ability 2)
Add second POV for Baptiste.
When looking through the camera, you can see energy emitted by the spies when they are invisible. https://gfycat.com/fr/violetrespectfuldingo
To set the camera, hold (Ability 2) for 1 second. It will be placed on where you are standing and his direction will be the same as yours.
Once you have set the camera, press (Interact) to switch your pov with the camera one.
The mode is compatible with all assault maps but due to the objectives and supplies positions requirement, when you want to change map you need to open the workshop and change the first variable of the first rule to the map you want to play.
Any feedback is appreciated and more importantly, have fun!
Plans for the future:
Balance, balance, unbalance.
Waiting for a "Map condition" to let the players change the map smoothly.
More playable Mercs and new gear (smoke, sticky cameras, …)
More maps.
The Xbox One S All-Digital Edition is officially available, and despite Microsoft's worries about pricing that we mentioned in episode 247 here in Canada it's retailing for about $80 less than the similar disk-reading version
Apparently in order to fully support Apex Legends, Respawn is pushing out plans for future Titanfall games
On the plus side, Titanfall 2 is still a ton of fun and not at all dated
I'd completely forgotten it was happening, but IT Chapter Two released a trailer this week and it looks fantastic
The movie is set to release on September 6th
There's a new insult going around schoolyards nowadays- default
Apparently it's from Fortnite, based on insulting kids that can't buy any of the fancy skins and are stuck using the default military drab character
It's something like the new 'noob', from the looks of it. In other news, I've been 31 for a week and a half and suddenly feel every single one of those years
Alan recommends Bohemian Rhapsody
It's a solid movie with an amazing soundtrack that offers a really interesting perspective on what made Queen, Queen
The editing can be a little choppy in some scenes, but it's worth sitting through to see the full arc of these characters and the actors that really seem to have nailed the look and personality of the actual band members
And the cherry on top is that during the credits it does a quick wrapup of where a lot of the people ended up in real life after the point where the movie ended

A Japanese voice actor's arrest is making waves in the games industry, with some surprisingly large-scale effects
Actor and musician Pierre Taki was arrested for cocaine use, testing positive on a drug test administered by police If found guilty he could be facing up to seven years in prison, and apparently in Japan it's common that artists arrested for drug-related crimes are completely scrubbed from creative works
It's a bit of a culture-shock, but it seems like they're concerned about their IP being associated with that behaviour If that was a thing in North America, we'd have a lot less media Sega has suspended sales of the Yakuza spinoff Judgement, which had Taki providing the voice and facial capture for Kyohei Hamura. Hamura is apparently heavily involved with the player throughout the game
It's been pulled from digital stores and physical shipments have been halted
Taki also voiced the Olaf from Frozen in Kingdom Hearts 3, and according to a press release Square Enix will be removing his work from that title and pushing an update with a new dub
YouTube fought back against trolls by tweaking its search algorithm to tag Brie Larson as a news-worthy search term
Previously looking her up on YouTube would show a bunch of angry rants and calls for a boycott of Captain Marvel (which, spoiler, definitely didn't work)This week they recategorized "Brie Larson" as news, which forces more reliable sources like Entertainment Tonight, ABC, CNN, and other news outlets to the top of the results
We originally saw these tools rolled out in October 2017, after search results were favouring conspiracy videos over the actual news of a mass shooting in Las Vegas
So it looks like YouTube has the tools to prioritize higher-quality videos- do you think it's something they should roll out more widely? Or do you think the potential harm to small creators is too much of a risk?
Halo: Master Chief Collection is coming to PC, and bringing Reach along with it
It's going to feature full mouse/keyboard support, 4K resolutions, and an HDR toggle, but no word on things like ultra-wide monitors or higher frame rates
Arriving "later this year" according to the official Waypoint site, and will be available via Steam or Windows Store, but with a twist
Each game will be released one at a time, rather than all six at once, because they want to make sure they get each port right and give players a chance to jump in as soon as possible
Interestingly, the release order is going by the in-game continuity: Reach, then CE, 2, 3, ODST, and 4
People who own the collection on Xbox One will get some Reach content for free, but the campaign and firefight modes will be a paid add-on
Overwatch's latest hero, the combat medic Baptiste, is hitting the game next week
He's a former member of the Caribbean Coalition military group and Talon, and features:
A submachine gun that launches healing biotic grenades a heal-over-time called Regenerative Burst
An Immortality Field that prevents allies in its range from going below 40hp
His ultimate, Amplification Matrix, that doubles ally damage and healing
I'm looking forward to seeing how he meshes into the OWL meta, though as a support he might just get combined into the existing 3/3 strategy – Alan
Internet turns 30! Original Article Here
The world wide web was invented by Sir Tim Berners-Lee in 1989 – originally he was trying to find a new way for scientists to easily share the data from their experiments. Hypertext (text displayed on a computer display that links to other text the reader can immediately access) and the internet already existed, but no one had thought of a way to use the internet to link one document directly to another.
Berners-Lee created the world wide web while he was working at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Switzerland. His vision soon went beyond a network for scientists to share information, in that he wanted it to be a universal and free 'information space' to share knowledge, to communicate, and to collaborate.
There are three main ingredients that make up the world wide web. URL (uniform resource locator), which is the addressing scheme to find a document; HTTP (hypertext transfer protocol), which connects computers together; and HTML (hypertext markup language), which formats pages containing hypertext links.
Berners-Lee also made the world's first web browser and web server. During the 1990s the amount of web browsers being produced rapidly multiplied and a whole load more web-based technologies started sprouting up.
The world wide web opened up the internet to everyone, not just scientists. It connected the world in a way that made it much easier for people to get information, share, and communicate. It has since allowed people to share their work and thoughts through social networking sites, blogs, video sharing, and more.
Beat Saber has officially sold more than 1M copies, just in time for the first DLC song pack to release
The Monstercat Music pack adds 10 songs to the game for $13USD, $17.50CAD
They've also said that they'll continue to regularly add free songs as well, like One Hope and Pop/Stars
Apple has announced their next event titled "It's show time.", scheduled for March 25th
They'll likely be talking about their upcoming Apple News and streaming TV services, as well as the next iOS version, but I'm more hoping for hardware- specifically AirPods 2 and potentially AirPower
Recommend Captain Marvel
Fantastic movie, great acting, and a solid turn part way through It's an origin story that acts as a crucible, bringing out Captain Marvel's true power and motivation by the end of it. And when I say power I don't mean photon blasts
I'm normally a big Iron Man fan, but she might be my new favourite character
I loved seeing how the beginning of things came together right before we see the Endgame
Without any original songs, thier band covers others artists work and become the number one rock band in the world. (Video Game)
