Meanwhile, this week Steam's Midweek Madness offers have one thing in common, and it's not the low discount they have, it's that both were made by Platinum Games:

The second part of the news:

 

Druids and Murlocs hit hard in biggest Hearthstone balance patch for years
http://www.pcgamer.com/hearthstone-druid-nerf/
Blizzard has just announced some extremely significant balance changes to several Hearthstone cards. The biggest changes come to the Druid class, which sees a nerf to both the classic card Innervate and the new problem child Spreading Plague, but popular power cards from the classic set like Warrior's Fiery War Axe and Shaman's Hex have been hit as well.

 

Lifeless Moon, the follow-up to Lifeless Planet, is now live on Kickstarter
http://www.pcgamer.com/lifeless-moon-the-follow-up-to-lifeless-planet-is-now-live-on-kickstarter/
I wanted to like Lifeless Planet more than I ultimately did: The mystery of an ill-fated journey to an alien world that shows signs of a previous Soviet colonization effort seemed aimed squarely at my love of pulpy sci-fi, but it ultimately didn't pay off as well as I'd hoped. It came close enough, though, that I was excited by the announcement earlier this year of a "spiritual successor" called Lifeless Moon, a tale of Apollo-era astronauts who go to the Moon and find themselves back home. Creator David Board said at the time that the new game would be supported by a Kickstarter campaign, and today he announced that it is live.

Derek Yu is just happy to be making games again with Jon Perry, his childhood friend and the co-creator of Time Barons, Eternal Daughter, and Diabolika. Speaking with him at PAX, Yu gave more me a few more details on the genesis of UFO 50, and what it's been like to collaborate with four other indies on 50 original, '80s-style games.

 

Dishonored 2 Death of the Outsider's Hook Mines look very, very cool
http://www.pcgamer.com/dishonored-2-death-of-the-outsiders-hook-mines-look-very-cool/
Dishonored 2's Death of the Outsider expansion could've focused on Whaler captain Daud, but the decision to instead go with protege Billie Lurk seems like a good one. Her arsenal of ultra-cool abilities and high tech weaponry has impressed so far—and Bethesda has now launched a "Powers, Gadgets and Gear" trailer which hones in on what Lurk brings to battle.

 

Wolfenstein 2 depicts 'how the Nazis are slowly changing the cultural identity of America'
http://www.pcgamer.com/wolfenstein-2-depicts-how-the-nazis-are-slowly-changing-the-cultural-identity-of-america/
Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus is the first of its kind to take place in America. Despite the fact developer Machinegames reckons it "isn't a commentary on current topics", it does have scope to offend, given its sensitive subject matter. To this end, most of what we've seen so far has been somewhat controversial.

 

Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption is like Dark Souls for those pressed for time
http://www.pcgamer.com/sinner-sacrifice-for-redemption-is-like-dark-souls-for-those-pressed-for-time/
After Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption teased its Souls-meets-Shadow of the Colossus-meets the Divine Comedy makeup a few weeks back I was intrigued. Like a page torn straight from Miyazaki's scrap book, its towering bosses, pithy protagonist and dodge rolling combat echoed that of Lordran and beyond - however its sacrificial mechanics sounded cool and unique.

George Orwell's Animal Farm is being made into a videogame
http://www.pcgamer.com/george-orwells-animal-farm-is-being-made-into-a-videogame/
Animal Farm, the famous George Orwell novel that we all pretend we read in high school, may not be the most obvious source material for a licensed videogame. But with the blessing of the author's estate, it's happening: Developers including Bossa Studios founder Imre Jele, The Chinese Room co-founder Jessica Curry, and A Brave Plan founder Georg Backer have announced an upcoming "adventure-tycoon game" adaptation that will "deliver Orwell's vision in an interactive format."

Bear With Me, a noir teddy bear adventure, concludes in October
http://www.pcgamer.com/bear-with-me-a-noir-teddy-bear-adventure-concludes-in-october/
Bear With Me is an "episodic noir adventure game" about the search for a young boy who's gone missing in a dark, shadowy world. But it's probably not quite as grim and gritty as it sounds. The lead characters are the boy's sister, Amber, and her "gruff chain-smoking private investigator sidekick," Ted E. Bear, who as it happens (and notwithstanding the fact that he walks, talks, and is in the grips of a serious nicotine addiction) is a literal teddy bear. The first episode was released in August 2016, and the third and final ep—and also the biggest in the series—is coming on October 5.

I find this stupid that its even a thing on PC that people who buy a game from a different store is locked out of the other stores servers in the first place.

Once a game is on PC no matter what store it comes from all gamers should be able to play together without having to hope for "Cross platform" play...

But we're talking about MSoft. Things that we are used to take fro granted don't apply when they're involved.

+Steam

Even without the two deals already mentioned, there are other interesting offers on Steam

 

And that's all. Have a happy and gaming weekend.



Please excuse my bad English.

Currently gaming on a PC with an i5-4670k@stock (for now), 16Gb RAM 1600 MHz and a GTX 1070

Steam / Live / NNID : jonxiquet    Add me if you want, but I'm a single player gamer.

So guys, I got a gaming laptop!! It's an ASUS ROG Strix GL753VD-DS71 17.3. Not sure how powerful it is exactly since I don't know all that much about PC gaming, but I got it with student grant money.

Noicee. A 1050 is plenty powerful and you should be able to play a ton of games at max settings in at least 30fps if not higher.

Although none of that really matters cause that laptop has rgb lighting which makes a true pcmr laptop!
