MASS EFFECT: ANDROMEDA TRAILER INTRODUCES JAAL, THE BIG, BLUE ANGARAN
http://www.pcgamer.com/mass-effect-andromeda-trailer-introduces-jaal-the-big-blue-angaran/
A new Mass Effect: Andromeda trailer posted by the good folks at IGN introduces the alien race known as the Angara, and more specifically Jaal, a prominent member of the anti-Kett resistance who very much channels the great Garrus Vakarian, while at the same time being his exact opposite.

NO MAN'S SKY PATCH LETS YOU SUMMON YOUR NEW VEHICLES ON ANY PLANET YOU WANT
http://www.pcgamer.com/no-mans-sky-patch-lets-you-summon-your-new-vehicles-on-any-planet-you-want/
One of the shortcomings of No Man's Sky's Path Finder update was that the three new vehicles (called exocraft) could only be driven on your home planet: that is, the planet you built your base on. To drive the buggy, hovercraft, or cargo tank, you need to build an exocraft geobay to summon your new land-based rides, and you could only build those as part of your planetary base.
Patch 1.22, released today, changes that for the better.

RESEARCHERS USE MMO BETA TO STUDY HOW HUMANITY WILL ACT AT THE END OF THE WORLD
http://www.pcgamer.com/researchers-use-mmo-beta-to-study-how-humanity-will-act-at-the-end-of-the-world/
The XL Games MMO ArcheAge ran a brief open beta in the autumn of 2014, before stumbling into what we categorized as one of the worst launches in PC gaming history. It has since found its footing, though, and more interestingly for our purposes here today, it has provided some insight into how humanity might behave if—or when, depending on your personal philosophy—the world as we know it comes to an end.

>>If using an MMO game to study our behavior in such events is not surprising enough, it turns out that we're not as bad as we might think!

PS4 GAMES WILL COME TO PC SOON VIA PS NOW
http://www.pcgamer.com/ps4-games-will-come-to-pc-soon-via-ps-now/
PS Now is a subscription service which allows you to stream PlayStation games to your PC (or your PS3 and PS4). Right now, a monthly fee gets you access to over 400 PS2 and PS3 titles – with many exclusives among them – but soon it'll boast an unspecified number of PS4 games, too.

>>And GribbleGrunger made a thread about this announcecment.

PATHOLOGIC REMAKE GETS FREE MARBLE NEST DEMO
http://www.pcgamer.com/pathologic-remake-gets-free-marble-nest-demo/
Last year, Pathologic developer Ice-Pick Lodge said that while the incoming remake of its 2005 psychological horror game will remain true to its source material, it'll implement some "drastic changes" so as to bring it inline with modern expectations. Having played and thoroughly enjoyed the teaser demo launched towards the end of 2016—named The Marble Nest—I can confirm Ice-Pick Lodge has done so successfully. The dev has now released the complimentary demo to the public.

TESLAGRAD FOLLOW-UP WORLD TO THE WEST RELEASE DATE SET
http://www.pcgamer.com/teslagrad-follow-up-world-to-the-west-release-date-set/
Rain Games' Teslagrad is a fun Metroidvania-style platformer that landed in 2013 and, as Phil rightly noted at the time, weighs heavily on the fantastical side of acclaimed inventor Nikolai Tesla's legacy. World to the West is the Norwegian indie outfit's next venture—an "action-puzzler" that's set in the same universe as its indirect forerunner and follows the story of four protagonists who harness distinct special powers. It's also now got a release date: May 5.

SHADOW OF WAR GOES BEYOND MORDOR, DEVS ARE 'MASSIVELY INCREASING THE SCALE OF THE GAME'
http://www.pcgamer.com/shadow-of-war-goes-beyond-mordor-devs-are-massively-increasing-the-scale-of-the-game/
In conversation with the Official Xbox Magazine (via GamesRadar), de Plater (Monolith's vice president of creative) said: "One of the reasons it’s Shadow Of War and not just Mordor is that we’ve expanded beyond Mordor. So the Dark Lord is growing his armies, and his forces—led by the Witch-king—have come out of Mordor and attacked and assaulted the human city of Minas Ithil.

THE OVERWATCH HERO ORISA ACTIVATES NEXT WEEK
http://www.pcgamer.com/the-overwatch-hero-orisa-activates-next-week/
Orisa, the four-legged Overwatch tank with the gentle disposition who was revealed to the world earlier this month, will leave her extended stay on the PTR and go into full release on March 21. Blizzard revealed the rollout date today alongside a new "behind-the-scenes" video in which developers talk a bit about the inspirations for the character, what she brings to the game, and where she fits in with the rest of the Overwatch team.

OVERWATCH'S JEFF KAPLAN TALKS LUCIO RE-TUNING, WINSTON BUFFS, LOOT BOX GIFTING
http://www.pcgamer.com/overwatchs-jeff-kaplan-talks-lucio-re-tuning-winston-buffs-loot-box-gifting/
"Hopefully I don't bore you to tears," said Jeff Kaplan last night in response to a Reddit AMA request posted last week by user AuTiMechanic. "Sure... let's do this!" For the three hours that followed, the Blizzard vice president answered hundreds of questions from eager fans—including who his favourite Overwatch hero is, what other games he likes to play in his spare time, and which wrestling techniques he prefers to use on the other developers.

Not even trying to include the awesome RL announcement in your news. Someone is losing his mojo.

There are a lot of things I can be blamed for, but not this one.

When I made the news, neither DSOGaming nor PCGamer had an article about RL. Hell, they don't even have it now, almost one hour later. What do you want me to do?

Besides, just like Conina posted the launch date of Full Throttle, you can also post any news you find interesting. Don't wait for me to do something you can do .

PS: I can't lose my mojo because I've never had any.

Wouldn't be surprised. Ryzen is not a good clocker. The 8-core chips on average seem to be doing 3.9-4ghz... If you throw to much voltage at the problem you can fry a few things...

The Phenoms had a 13'C temp bug, that meant if it was 50'C. It was really 63'C.

Nice to see AMD has stayed true to form and done a complete reversal. :P

I personally haven't owned a Seagate since the mid 90's back when they had the 10,000rpm Cheetah drives.

But... Some Western Digital Drives are notorious for early deaths.
Case in point: Western Digital Greens with their aggressive head parking that leads to fast wear and tear.
Or the Seagate ST3000DM001 which had failure rates of almost 30%.

Or the old Hitachi "Deathstar" drives.

It's not so much the brand that matters, but the individual models.

And pre-ordered Full Throttle Remastered via GOG.

It's good I didn't buy a 3TB one then

In the end I opened it and used it today, so the damage is done... will check out how long it lives~

Thanks for the slight ray of hope!!!

New Ryzen 5 info:

zero129 said: Wait.. So the Full Throttle Remaster isnt launching on Steam?

I'm sure it will be also on Steam the same day and the only "exclusive" GOG.com has is the preorder period... for the PC version, since you already can preorder the PS4 and Vita versions (cross-buy) on PSN.

And all the other Double Fine games are on Steam, so it makes little sense to not launch this one too.

Let's go once again with the news. But first of all, I owe vivster and PCGamer an apology.

It turns out that PCGamer made an article about Rocket League's new Dropshot mode on Monday, one day earlier than viv's thread, but I didn't post it. I suspect the reason(s) of why this happened, but that's not really important and they would appear like mere excuses so, without further ado:

ROCKET LEAGUE'S DROPSHOT MODE IS BY FAR ITS BEST ALTERNATIVE MODE YET
http://www.pcgamer.com/rocket-leagues-dropshot-mode-is-its-by-far-its-best-alternative-mode-yet/
Since Rocket League's launch nearly two years ago, Psyonix has added a steady stream of new cars, cosmetics, and game modes. Those modes range from simple alterations to the field shape, to changing the ball into a hockey puck, to giving everyone goofy power-up abilities. But on March 22, Rocket League will be getting a free update with a new mode called Dropshot that's not only its most inventive game mode to date, but also its best.

>>You can discuss this new mode here, or at vivster's thread.
