So The Winter Soldier is pretty damn excellent. Captain America has gone from worst to best of the Marvel bunch.

Crap. Michael Abrash is now Oculus Chief Scientist. There goes Valve's role as saviour of VR.

Betrayer really makes this jaded graphics obsessive happy. In two minds about gameplay but so beautiful #shaderporn

Spontaneous office bonding over a hatred of The Smiths makes today full of win. Sorry about that @AtomicMPC ;)

So it is one of those days where copy and pasted Reddit and Kickstarter comments count as journalism. Yay.

@csimps0n the Rift had such an old school cooperative vibe about it. The echoes of this will be felt for a while methinks.

@csimps0n I'm wondering what will happen about the VR tech that Valve 'gave' to Oculus, which seemed a key piece of the puzzle

Still dejected over Oculus. The future of VR is now far from the hands of the community and being driven by Wall Street.

Coming in PC PowerPlay issue 228 the return of founding editor Ben Mansill with his new column 'Sh1t wot Ben reckons'

...Oculus just sent its kickstarter backers a copy of the blog announcement on its website, hours after the aquisition was announced.

Last week Obsidian told its backers about the Pillars of Eternity publishing deal with Paradox the moment the press release went out...

So overjoyed that my $300 spent on Oculus Rift's Kickstarter has helped contribute to a VR future I want no part of #Unlike.

So Australia based Diablo 3 servers are now officially live.

According to AMD and Eidos a patch for Thief is due tomorrow (18th) that will finally enable Mantle and Trueaudio support in the game.

The more I play with SteamOS the more I realise Valve is going to make home networking as easy as popping to Ikea. Exciting times!

First day as PC PowerPlay editor today. It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

In theory, taking a selfie with my Oculus Rift as a profile pic is a good idea. In practice it ends up like this.

Still pinching myself over my new job. The PC is going to be the epicentre of gaming in the coming years, and I can't wait to see it unfold
