Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel - Developer Overview

Claptrap as a playable character? Yes...here's a video by the developers talking about Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.

Can't wait!

New Borderlands Revealed. Set on the moon?

It appears that there will be a new Borderlands game, a pre-sequel and will be out for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3. Which has got me all excited because I'm a pretty big fan of the Borderlands franchise. There will also be 4 new playable characters, all of which have appeared in previous Borderlands games. And finally, most of the game will be set on the moon, which means low gravity, no oxygen...oh, and jetpacks! Sounds so awesome already.

Anyway, the guys over at rockpapershotgun have a lot more detail about this game.

Game of Thrones intro recreated with Skyrim.

This is just pure awesome, especially for the fans of both Game of Thrones and The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. Basically, someone has recreated the the Game of Thrones intro but used Skyrim's map/buildings and I think it is just brilliant.

Dead Island Helper. Tool to improve the graphics.

I'm really enjoying the game Dead Island, I find it very satisfying whacking off heads with a hammer that has been electrified. Visually it's not bad, a little too much bloom and the shadows aren't that great either.

So I did a quick search and found this neat little tool called Dead Island Helper. It automatically improves performance and applies tweaks without having to edit files and risk messing something up.

Also, don't worry about VAC banning you because they won't, I, and many others use this and have not received a ban. There's a thread here on Steam forums with a little more detail.

Techy stuff: Oculus Rift and How about a $3000 graphics card.

Lets start with Oculus Rift, as pretty much everyone on the internet knows by now, Oculus Rift has been sold to Facebook for $2 Billion dollars and internet has erupted because of it. There are posts, threads, blogs, tweets, you name it, people aren't exactly too pleased by this and many have even cancelled their preorder and wrote of Oculus all together.


I personally haven't really made up my mind just yet, I think in a way it's good for Oculus to really get their name out there and use the resources and the power of Facebook to really evolve. I am for now going to wait and see what happens.

Thinking of upgrading your graphics card? How about a GeForce FTX TITAN Z for just $3000? Sounds crazy but it's real and it features a pair of Kelpler GK110 chips, it offers 5,760 CUDA processing cores and each has 6GB of GDDR5 which is a total of 12GB. You could buy a high-end gaming PC for that price.
