There’s a new NVIDIA GPU in town, not to mention a new spate of motherboards on the way, so it’s not terribly surprising that EVGA has updated its overclocking software accordingly--EVGA Precision X (4.2.0) is now available and free to download.

You know, this actually really bothers me. Why mention this if it's been done for the past 17 years in gaming?

The Foundry is a content authoring tool that allows players to create their own quests and campaigns for others to play. Using the various features available, Foundry authors can create unique content, make custom interior and exterior maps, and build contacts and dialog tailored to their storytelling needs. When they’re ready, authors can publish their quests for all players in Neverwinter to experience.

 

There are very few limitations when it comes to the content an author can make in the Foundry. Whether it is a quick rescue of a drunken dwarf in the Chasm, or a deep delve into the history and lore of the Forgotten Realms, authors can create an array of different quests. We support this creativity with tools that allow you to customize the look and feel of everything, from friendly contacts to the critters players will fight. Our costume editor allows for nearly endless customization of every person or thing you’ll come across in a quest. Within the quests you can really tune the experience for players by having elements of your quest be special for players with specific skills. And this is just the start; there is so much more that can be done with the Foundry. ...

Managing your mods for your favourite PC games is never an easy task but perhaps the GMOD tool from Olympus games could help.

 

The GMOD rteam want add further support to the system for more popular PC games including Diablo 2, World of Warcraft, Torchlight 2, GTA4, Natural Selection and more. The tool syncs your mods up with the latest versions, there’s mod browsing tools and even resources to make your own mods.

 

Olympus are looking for $70.000 and there is eighteen days to go until the Kickstarter closes. So far $12, 627 has been pledged from 106 backers. If you’re looking for something to handle your mods then you can check out the Kickstarter page now.

 

While there are plenty of different tools like this, most of the time they handle a single game so having multiple tools is a pain in the backside. This could be a good solution if you like your mods.

When we released our very first game, Game Dev Tycoon (for Mac, Windows and Linux) yesterday, we did something unusual and as far as I know unique. We released a cracked version of the game ourselves, minutes after opening our Store.

YouTube user "Chris Gallizzi" successfully modded Skyrim with Oculus Rift support using Vireio Perception Driver, according to a video posted on YouTube.

 

The two-minute video demonstrates one-on-one sword combat and traversing the snowy environment on horseback.

 

"It takes some adjusting depending on your sight..." said "Chris Gallizzi" in response to a commenter's question if the technology really does cover users natural FOV. He went on to say that he was near sighted "so i had to adjust the FOV from 100 to 110 to make everything seem correct [sic]."

 

Vireio Perception includes support for games such as Half-Life 2, Left 4 Dead and Mirror's Edge. Last week, virtual reality specialists, Virtuix, released a video of someone playing Team Fortress 2 with an Oculus Rift and a Virtuix Omni treadmill.

DICE general manager Karl-Magnus Troedsson confirmed to PC Gamer at E3 that Battlefield 4 will not support mods. Troedsson caveated that user-generated content is something that DICE finds “very interesting,” and that it’s something the studio has been talking about at a high level. ...

Overclocking—or running your hardware at higher speeds than it was designed to run—is one of the best ways to boost your gaming performance. Here's how to overclock your video card and get faster, smoother games without spending a dime.

The Baldur's Gate: Reloaded mod requires Neverwinter Nights 2 and its expansions Mask of the Betrayer and Storm of Zehir to run

The Stanley Parable is an experimental narrative-driven first person game. It is an exploration of choice, freedom, storytelling and reality, all examined through the lens of what it means to play a video game.

This Skyrim mod is actually called “Here There Be Monsters“, and it adds nine huge sea monsters into the Ghost Sea to the north of Bethesda’s chilly realm. But I’ve focused on the Horkers because, well, just look at that screenshot. It is a giant beast with a huge tooth. Look, though. Really look. See? He’s not a beast. He’s just a thing that society deems to be big and scary. And so he acts as society imagines he should, and tusks everything and everyone. To be fair, he is part of a society of angry Nords fighting dragons and in the midst of a civil war. He should probably move somewhere nicer.

The Raspberry Pi is a low-powered mini computer with a 700 MHz ARM11 processor. You can safely overclock it to 1 GHz. But if you want to get really crazy and go higher than that you might need a custom cooling solution.

 

Or maybe you just want to build one because it’d look awesome. That seems to be the driving force behind this water-cooled “Wet Pi” project from bit-tech forum member Phame.

CryEngine 3, Crytek's top-tier game engine that made Crysis 3 look so pretty, can be handy modeling streets, disassembled cars and entire cityscapes.
