Beta 15 for XCOM Long War is now available, introducing more new features than can be listed here - so here's the changelog.

 

As of this beta, I believe Long War is now essentially feature-complete, I don't believe there are plans for a b16, just revisions of this now current patch before a final release.

Awesome, I've been waiting for it to get stable.  Looks like it is close.

For those who want to head into the "Danger Zone", F-14A/B/A+ is on its way to Digital Combat Simulator:

“Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

While the character import/export tool seems kind of silly to me, I was unaware of TSI and Seven Dragon Saga previously. I'll have to keep an eye out (the press release claims there's a Kickstarter launched today, but that appears to be untrue.)

Direct link to Polygon? HERESY! xD

I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"

Looks like we have our first "official" Steam Machine, the ZOTAC Steam Machine SN970:

I like the look of it.  I'm a fan of simple and practical designs, rather than trying to get too fancy and "edgy" looking *glares menacingly in Nvidia's new fugly as sin Shield console's direction*.  It will have a 6th gen Intel CPU (Skylake?), a 64 GB M.2 SSD (presumably for the OS) and a 1 TB HDD (presumably for games and storage).  Judging by the name, the GPU will likely be a GTX 970, which, lawsuit aside, is a damn good GPU.  No word yet on pricing or when it will hit the market.

Wish it was possible to hook up a keyboard and mouse though

I imagine it is, you just need a mouse and keyboard with USB connections.

Thought this looked interesting:

 

 

Made by some people from TellTale games and Disney who formed a new studio.

It's so annoying they never include any Italian fascists, or chetniks or ustase. :/

Benito Mussolini DLC.  Make it happen, Machine Games!

Presumably the final Steam Controller design

Available November (I imagine that this is when "official" Steam Machines will also become available) for $49.99.  I won't lie, I want to caress those trackpads with my fingers (possibly other body parts too  :brows: ).

Nvidia just surprised everybody by pre-announcing (the full announcement will come soon) the Titan X

A whopping 12 GB vRAM and 8 billion transistors.  If this is indeed a single GPU card then this is an INSANE monster of a card.
