Despite the fact that I just stole Budweiser's phrase, I'M BACK!

I'm really sorry for being away lately, but at least I have some great news!

My internet has driven me crazy in the past two weeks and this time I'm drawing the line! I used to use Wi-Fi only, but last week I finally installed a network cable (RJ45 thingy) and for my surprise, it didn't help as much as I thought, so I'm looking at other companies to see if I can find a better deal with a better service..

Now, the good news!

Yesterday I talked with a couple of friends and we closed the deal on the website I've been talking about for so long! Today I'll begin the preparations for building it and maybe at the end of the week it'll be up and running!

I've lost 2 giveaway dates, if I'm not wrong, so I'll wait until the website is ready and I'll compensate those 2 times, don't worry! :)

Also, by having the website, it means that we'll finally start to use steam's new "curator" feature! But you'll be able to check more news and reviews in our HQ! xD

We're planning on doing a community inside the website, where you'll be able to post stuff, create your profile (and link it to your steam profile, hopefully..) as well as some other cool stuff!

So yeah, we'll be back at normal by the end of the week, so you can expect more news this Friday!

See you guys later!

Hey guys.

Sorry for the late announcement, but today I couldn't find many good news..

Anyway, I've started to design the Group's website as I told you guys in the earlier announcements and I'm also looking at some other stuff. So you can expect us to be doing lots of game reviews (like I used to do) and possibly gameplay videos.

I started to record some stuff with a friend but we're not sure we're that'll take us, but we're thinking on recording it in English, so more people can watch.

Stay tuned for more updates on that!

Now, to the news!


The Battlefield Hardline open beta will run from February 3-8, EA announced today.

It will be available to players on PC, Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, and PS3.

Yo!

Usually I add some cool article or video at the end, but since it's not everyone who will read this 'til the bottom, I'd better put this first:

I will not write about it, since no words can match what I would say about it, but if you're interested in knowing what it's about, there will be a link below.

Techland's new zombie shooter Dying Light has a cheeky reference to Destiny's infamous loot cave.

Eagle-eyed early adopters have found a cave hidden in the top right of Dying Light's map.

Venture inside and locate a pile of remains (sound familiar?) to see a message appear on screen: "Your destiny is to build your legend (and get loot)."

Then, according to Reddit poster ZachyWillz: "Infinitely [sic] spawning zombies come out from caves and after all are killed it says 'Enough! Patch 1.0.2 has been released! Do more quests!'

"It gave good laughs to me and my bud."

Dying Light is available now in Europe as a digital download, and in the US as a physical release.

But European owners will have to wait a full month for the delayed physical edition, which launches on Europe on 27th February.

There's still no explanation for the delay, and both Techland and publisher Warner Bros. have failed to respond to queries on the matter. Press have also had to wait for review copies.

Footage of the Easter egg has already appeared online - skip to 1:35 mark below:

[GNE NOTES:]
[If you don't know the original Dragon's Dogma (yet) , it was released on 2012 and even if it's a new game, I already consider it one of the best RPG's of all time. It's not just one of my favorite games ever, but a great RPG experience. Even though it's only available for PS3 and Xbox 360, if you have the chance, play it. I'm sure you won't regret it.]

Capcom has announced Dragon's Dogma Online, a new MMO-style entry in the fantasy role-playing game series.

The announcement came as part of a reveal in Japanese game magazine Famitsu, picked up by Siliconera and Gematsu.

Translation work from NeoGAF user Duckroll reveals the game to be a free-to-play action RPG for PC, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3, so we can expect microtransactions. The executive producer is Hiroyuki Kobayashi, who led the charge on the first Dragon's Dogma game.

DDO is described as an online game - as you'd expect from the title - with an open world and a lobby that supports up to 100 players. Players can form parties of up to four players or pawns and go on quests. Raids support up to eight players at once.

A Capcom UK representative told Eurogamer this morning that there are no plans to release Dragon's Dogma Online in the west, so don't hold your breath.

Dragon's Dogma came out for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in May 2012. An expanded and enhanced version, called Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen, launched in April 2013. Fans of the well-received series have called for a sequel ever since.

Dragon's Dogma Online sounds similar to Capcom's Deep Down, which is also without a confirmed western release.

The economist who worked at Valve is now the new finance minister of Greece.

Yanis Varoufakis, an economics professor based in Athens, joined Valve in March 2012 as a consultant after Gabe Newell emailed to describe the problems his company ran into as the virtual economies around games such as Team Fortress 2 and Dota 2 saw explosive growth.

"When I read the opening line of the email in question, my finger almost pushed the delete button," Varoufakis said at the time.

"Here at my company we were discussing an issue of linking economies in two virtual environments (creating a shared currency), and wrestling with some of the thornier problems of balance of payments, when it occurred to me 'this is Germany and Greece', a thought that wouldn't have occurred to me without having followed your blog," Newell wrote.

"Rather than continuing to run an emulator of you in my head, I thought I'd check to see if we couldn't get the real you interested in what we are doing."

After meeting with Valve in Seattle, Varoufakis became the company's economist-in-residence.

Now, three years later, Varoufakis has swapped the study of the sale of virtual hats for the arguably easier to understand sale of real life goods, GDP and Government debt in Greece.

Varoufakis has quite the job on: Greece is enveloped in an economic and political crisis that has resulted in bankruptcy, high unemployment and an election. Greece's new Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has promised to end "the humiliation and pain" of the last five years - and he's won a mandate for ending austerity and renegotiating the terms of the bail out.

Greece will run out of money next month. Perhaps the Government should try selling TF2 hats on Steam.

That's all, folks!

See you guys later! :D

Hey guys!

Yeah yeah, I know it's Saturday, well, I got so carried away while doing some PC fixing stuff that at by the time I logged on to steam it was already 4 a.m.

This was probably one of the most exciting news for me recently. Since E3 2014, Fable Legends wasn't going to come for PC, at first. I don't know when they changed that, but it seems that the problem is solved!

Fable Legends, the next game from Lionhead Studios, will have cross-platform multiplayer between Xbox One and PCs running Windows 10.

Microsoft made the announcement today at its Windows 10 event. Fable Legends will have support for DirectX 12 on Windows 10, and players will be able to play with and against each other online.

"We think enabling people to play multiplayer games on Windows 10, across Xbox One and Windows 10, will unlock the potential of Xbox Live and grow the social network that's there today," said Phil Spencer, head of Xbox.

Microsoft made no mention of whether this feature would come to other games, but according to Spencer's statement, it seems very likely.
