Star Citizen video "From Pupil to Planet" showcases the game's procedurally generated planets

The guys behind Star Citizen have been on a roll lately. Last week they released their alpha 2.0 version with multi-crew ships, FPS combat and spacewalking, then a little while later they passed an absurd 100 million dollars in crowd funding and now they're already showcasing progress on procedurally generated planets.

The video (embedded below) is titled "From Pupil to Planet" and sufficed to say, it looks really damn impressive.

Remastered version of the classic FPS Turok is coming this Thursday, December 17th

I never actually had a chance to play Turok, the classic dinosaur-hating FPS that first released in 1997. This was in the dark age of gaming where you depended on physical copies and for some reason the only local store has exactly 5 copies that sold out instantly...

Now with the remaster releasing this Thursday, 17th of December to be specific, it would appear I'll finally have a chance to see what all the fuss is about. Here's a list of the improvements the remastered edition is bringing to the table:

Just Cause 3 patch is out on PC and hopefully fixing all of the various issues players had with the game

I was so very, very excited when I first saw Just Cause 3 gameplay but once I finally got my hands on the game I found it to be practically unplayable in-between random FPS drops and frequent crashes.

So I'm happy to tell you that Patch 1.2 is now out on Steam bringing with it performance improvements, faster loading times and some bug fixes. Here's the full patch notes post:

Imperial ships engaging Chaos forces in Battlefleet Gothic: Armada, a new space strategy game based on the warhammer 40k universe

It certainly wasn't easy being a Warhammer 40k fan the past few years, with the tabletop game being far beyond my budget and almost every PC game being of lackluster quality after THQ's bankruptcy. Thankfully it seems at least the second part is changing as there have already been some good Warhammer games in 2015 and there are even more coming in 2016.

And now I can add Battlefleet Gothic: Armada to the list of games I'm excited about because the ships presented in the trailer (embedded below) are perfect representations of the grand cathedral-ships of the Imperium. Here's the trailer and a short overview of what you can expect with Battlefleet Gothic.

CS:GO Winter Update balance changes to rifles and pistol aim are being rolled back

Thank goodness. I feel like I've talked about this topic to death but ever since the CS:GO Winter Update the game's balance took a heavy shift downward. In a single patch they nerfed rifles by making them more random while adding a completely non-random one-hit kill revolver. How any of that actually got through testing is still beyond me.

Now, a few days later Valve has realized that their patch isn't having the impact they wanted so they are rolling back the rifle change and pistol changes to where they were before hand. Here's what Valve had to say about the whole ordeal:
