So guys, a few days ago I got some OS/2 Warp games. Do any of you know any emulators that I could use to get these games running?

The news, part two:
GOG releases another multiplayer update for the original Star Wars: Battlefront 2
http://www.pcgamer.com/gog-releases-another-multiplayer-update-for-the-original-star-wars-battlefront-2/
Star Wars: Battlefront 2 (note the colon, to distinguish it from the newer Star Wars Battlefront 2) was released in 2005, and so it was an honest and very happy surprise when an update was released a few months ago to restore its disabled multiplayer support. Earlier this week it was updated again, this time with a patch that promises "minor bug fixes and optimized performance."
16 years later, Runescape's most iconic quest gets a sequel
http://www.pcgamer.com/16-years-later-runescapes-most-iconic-quest-gets-a-sequel/
Runescape's Dragon Slayer quest is now 16 years old—approximately the same age I was when I completed it. After Old School Runescape's most recent update, it now has a proper sequel titled—wait for it—Dragon Slayer 2.
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter may be getting a 'free roam' mode on PC
http://www.pcgamer.com/the-vanishing-of-ethan-carter-may-be-getting-a-free-roam-mode-on-pc/
The first-person supernatural mystery The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is good stuff. We called it a "intriguing, mostly satisfying, and most importantly, wonderfully restrained" story in our 82/100 review, and the biggest complaint—lack of a manual save option—was addressed in a "Redux" update that dropped in 2015. And now it looks like another update adding a peaceful, puzzle-free "free roam" mode, could be on the way too.
Rusty Lake Paradise trailer teases a weird adventure about the Plagues of Egypt and your mom
http://www.pcgamer.com/rusty-lake-paradise-trailer-teases-a-weird-adventure-about-the-plagues-of-egypt-and-your-mom/
The team behind the bizarre, creepy Rusty Lake games has announced that a new addition to the series, Rusty Lake Paradise, will be released next week. The game will follow the story of a young man named Jakob, who returns to his home of Paradise Island after the death of his mother leaves it cursed by the ten Plagues of Egypt.

A new Monster Hunter: World trailer introduces the Elder Dragons—mighty, element-breathing beasts who have migrated to the New World for reasons unknown.
Fortnite servers will be unstable for the next week as Epic protects against Meltdown CPU exploit
http://www.pcgamer.com/fortnite-servers-will-be-unstable-for-the-next-week-because-of-meltdown-patch/
Epic Games' attempt to protect its services against the Meltdown CPU exploit could make it difficult for some players to login to Fortnite for the next week, the developer said yesterday.
Battle Royale Trainer is a game specifically designed to make you better at PUBG
http://www.pcgamer.com/battle-royale-trainer-is-a-game-specifically-designed-to-make-you-better-at-pubg/
I've found that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is a difficult game to get better at. Its firefights are sporadic, which means you don't actually get much practice shooting its guns. You can, of course, drop in a heavily populated area at the start of the game to get in on the action but that doesn't let you practice any end-game scenarios, such as firing a fully-tooled up sniper rifle.
I suppose it was only a matter of time until a game like Battle Royale Trainer came along.
>>A game to practice how to play another game? We live in a crazy world.
Lab Zero's RPG Indivisible raises more than $2.2 million in crowdfunding, due out this year
http://www.pcgamer.com/lab-zeros-rpg-indivisible-raises-more-than-22-million-in-crowdfunding-due-out-this-year/
Lab Zero, the folk behind 2013 fighting game Skull Girls, announced Indivisible way back in 2015, promising an RPG that was heavy on platforming and inspired by the likes of Valkyrie Profile and Super Metroid. I knew its Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign was chugging along nicely but I didn't quite think it'd do as well as this, closing earlier this week with more than $2.2 million raised in total.
Ubisoft is fixing Jäger's game-breaking shield glitch next week
http://www.pcgamer.com/ubisoft-is-fixing-jgers-game-breaking-shield-glitch-next-week/
If you've played Rainbow Six Siege in the past few weeks then you've probably come across Jäger players exploiting a glitch with his deployable shield. The glitch makes him nearly impossible to kill, and Ubisoft has been rushing to fix it. That fix is nearly complete, the developer said on Reddit on Friday, and a patch should be live in the next few days, which is good news.
Injustice 2 adds Enchantress next week, watch her magic destroy opponents in new trailer
http://www.pcgamer.com/injustice-2-adds-enchantress-next-week-watch-her-magic-destroy-opponents-in-new-trailer/
The magic-wielding Enchantress will arrive in NetherRealm Studios' fighting game Injustice 2 next week for some players, the developer has announced, and you can watch her supernatural move set in action in her first gameplay trailer, above. On Tuesday she'll appear in the roster of anybody that bought the game's Ultimate Edition, Ultimate Pack, or Fighter Pack 3. Everybody else can purchase her from January 16 (previous fighters have cost $6 each).
The Mercury Man looks like Blade Runner with Russian health nuts
http://www.pcgamer.com/the-mercury-man-looks-like-blade-runner-with-russian-health-nuts/
Mercury used to be a medicinal staple, until we realised that it was incredibly toxic and doing more harm than good. In the near-future of The Mercury Man, humanity seems to have forgotten all about that, leading to people getting illegal mercury transfusions in an effort to cure all known diseases. As a ‘mercury hunter’, players will find ‘mercuries’ and put a stop to their nonsense. Imagine a Russian Blade Runner where replicants have been replaced by health nuts.

That's for console gamers or PC gamers that game on their living room on a TV, because at 65" that is not a monitor.
In any case, we'll see when that thing reaches the market. It's been one year since they announced those 4K HDR 144Hz monitors and they still haven't been launched yet.

I have a 65" 4k TV that I cannot use for gaming because it's a fucking TV. I'd love to have a huge monitor in place of that piece of crap.

But will you use it as a regular monitor? I mean, at the same distance as you do with a 24, 27 or 32" display? It would be stupidly tall to use at "normal" distances.

It sits in front of my couch and I use it right now as a monitor to write this post while sitting on my couch.

And I ask again, at what distance? A 65" display won't be used as a regular monitor, but instead it will be used as a gaming TV of sorts.

Then how am I typing this right now? I tell you how. Because right now I am using my 65" TV as a PC monitor, like I have done for the past 2 years since I had this 65" TV. And now you come again and tell me that a 65" monitor won't be used as a regular PC monitor. This TV has never been used for actual gaming or TV. And did I mention it's 65" and in front of my couch in my living room?

Eh. I tend to stick with AMD GPU's anyway.
Hopefully there are cheaper freesync versions eventually, I would go for it.
