Bad puns aside, the Destiny 2 beta has finished and I feel it was definitely too short for my liking (Beta duration, not content); I never even tried all the game modes, but I guess that is more my fault than Blizzard/Bungie, as for whatever reason I had it in my head that it would last all weekend. I installed it and give it a shot on Wednesday, thinking I will get any loose ends tied up and give it a true play over the weekend. Alas, it ended yesterday and although I only managed to play the small single player intro I was impressed with what we got - the game ran well, looked good and felt nice. There were worries of it being a console port, and not feeling like a true PC game, but bar a small few menu/UI interactions, it never felt that way to me.
So one of the easiest ways to let your PC slow down and even break is by not performing regular maintenance, on both hardware and software. Cleaning is one of the most important of these maintenance tasks that needs done. When your PC is turned on there should be a constant air flow moving throughout it keeping the important components cool. Typically PCs will have at least one intake fan, one exhaust fan, and a dedicated CPU fan. Some cheaper setups will have the fans double up their use, while custom gaming builds and enthusiast workstations may have many more fans.
Just a day after making the comment on how the AoE IV announcement is nearly as big as it gets when it comes to gaming announcements, there is one bigger than instantly pops into my head, Half Life 3, or at least some closure to the story in the form of Half Life 2: Episode 3. Now I wish this article was that announcement but alas it is not but it looks like it is as good as your going to get.
That’s right, you read that correctly! A new Ages of Empires game, more than a decade since the third instalment - 12 years to be more precise, and who better to narrate about the passing of time and the rise and fall of empires than Charles Dance a.k.a. Tywin Lannister. Now, this may sound a bit sensationalized, but hear me out; this is a huge announcement, close to as big as they can get when it comes to gaming announcements.
So, AMD have finally released their much anticipated but highly polarizing card. The new RX Vega hit the shelves on the 14th, and it seems that AMD may have proven the doubters right.
I was going to wait for the end of the international and do a round up of the news but this was too big to wait; first of all during Wednesdays night coverage this vague teaser trailer was played for fans watching online and on the big screen inside the Key Arena at the the international.Â
