Is there a new FOV fix for The Evil Within yet? I really want to beat the game but the FOV is nauseating after having played the whole game with 90.

Well, this is new to me.

I'd be very surprised if GZ was not included in TPP as well. Wouldn't make sense to turn away potential consumers based on something arbitrary.

Now giving extra content for those that do own GZ is a good move.

I booted it up the other night, the FOV and pperformance are terrible.

Well you could say it's been a good day all round (well for me selfishly). Valkyria Chronicles preload is ticking along nicely now, Ubi managed to take one of their feet out their mouths, some nice MGS V news and I just got a PM to say thanks for pointing out a bug with a game and it will be patched. Might go spend my pocket change on some lottery tickets.

Edit: Seeing as this thread in in community now I just took a quick skim through the first 2 pages and damn this really is the OT graveyard. There's activity still in the new arrivals but it's OT after OT barely staying alive on scraps for the majority.

Humble Bundle link, for those that can't get an extra copy for someone. Just don't offload off-site somewhere.​

It's a mobile port and grindy as fuck. It's also one of the rare Steam games that has facebook integration to get in-game currency.

oh wow I didn't know that, I hate those types of games :p
but I remember I saw some gameplay of it and it looked interesting, I think I'll check it out

Valkyria Chronicles pre-load? Don't mind if I do.

On an unrelated note, it's a shame that Hard Corps: Uprising was never released on PC/Steam. Best game of 2011 I've played in 2014.

Having just bought it off EU PSN, I suspect its Steam announcement coming in a few weeks :V

Given that it keeps appearing in the requirements lately, am I best getting an i7 over an i5?

Or is that just another case of "don't believe the requirements publishers push"

Games and applications with Multithreaded support will become more common this generation. Going i7 would be recommended for hyperthreading.

I'll get it later today when I get home, but I want to know the length.
I need to know if I can finish in one sitting just like To The Moon

EDIT. Damn, beaten. Took too much time writing the post lol :/

A Bird Story is out.

If you didn't know, this one is from To the Moon creator, and serves as a "prequel" to To the Moon 2...

Narrative-driven with little-to-no dialogue

A Bird Story is a simple, surreal short about a boy and a bird with a broken wing. Despite being narrative-driven like most of my games, the story is told without dialogues.

Taking place in To the Moon‘s universe

While Dr. Watts and Dr. Rosalene aren’t in this game (chronologically, it takes place before their time), the boy in it eventually grows up to become their patient in “episode 2″ of the series.
Click to expand...

It's cheap, $4.24 USD right now (normally $5). But, according to Steam's description, it's only 1 hour long and it doesn't have dialogue, so keep that in mind before getting it.

I enjoyed a lot To the Moon, so hopefully I'll be able to grab it over the weekend (if not, I'll just wait a bit more to get it cheaper, considering its length) :D

I pre-ordered thinking I would still get their 10 game Batpack promo but it turned out to be a first come first serve type of deal and I guess they ran out before I placed my order. I also decided I don't need yet another Lego game for a while even if this one does get into DC's expanded universe.

Yeah, go for it. The gameplay itself is good. The graphics are good. The music is good. But in order to get upgrades so you can do the harder levels? You're expected to replay levels you've already beaten. A lot.

Also, upon reading the dialogue you'll instantly know this was written by Russians who don't have a firm grasp on the English language. Lots of weird turns of phrase.

Ehhh tough one to say. While Hyperthreading support is still next to nonexistent on games a couple have cropped up recently where it's come in handy. Is it worth the £100 extra for gaming alone? Probably not as there wouldn't be that big of a shift compared to spending the extra on GPU grunt the vast majority of the time. Also if you were going the i7 route it definitely would be better to look at a 5820k than a 4970k. 6 physical core over 4 which are much more useful in real world terms and some games will use them unlike Hyperthreading. Granted a X99 mobo and DDR4 RAM would be more than a 4970k on a Z97 board with DDR3 RAM but the enthusiast platform has a lot more legs in it than the mainstream one.

Today is a sad day, the screen on my Vaio has just died, as in it has a permanent vertical line of blue pixels. I need your help.

I've been looking at buying a replacement, but the replacement for my model is a worse screen, as when I bought it I had them upgrade from a 900p to 1080p. This means I cannot find the correct replacement.

Is there any means other than removing it and hoping to find a label, of finding out any info on my actual panel details through software means?

K, I'll just get an i7 then; don't want to spend a small fortune on a new pc and then have the CPU get outdated real quick.

Ah, here's where this place went. I put together a little CSS to prevent the endless recommendations on the main store page from displaying.
Code: 
    #content_callout,
    page_content_ctn, dark
    {display: none  !important;}

    #content_more > DIV:first-child,
    page_content_ctn, dark
    {display: none  !important;}

    HTML > BODY > DIV:nth-child(7),
    home_ctn
    {display: none  !important;}

Throw it into Stylish for firefox or chrome.

Google search model number and see if you can find it that way. Did it for my laptop.
