Fallout 4 Mod Allows You To Go Nuts With Weapon Enhancements

Its been a rather slow news day today so I decided to pop in to Fallout 4 and install a few mods, see if I can freshen the game up after playing it for over 50 hours.
And you know its going to be an interesting play session when the first mod I've come upon is "Any Mod Any Weapon" which, as you might deduce, allows you to shove any mod in to any weapon with hilarious results.
Fallout Inspired Isometric RPG "UnderRail" Is Coming Out Of Early Access On December 18th

The old Fallout and DnD RPGs defined my childhood so when UnderRail showed up on Early Access some three years ago I was instantly drawn to it. Ironically enough it was the rather plain graphics the game had back then that really got my attention, my reasoning being that if they decided to release an Early Access game looking like that they must've had a deep and complex game beneath it. As it so turns out, I was right.
Now, three years later the graphics have been much improved, along with everything else, and UnderRail is getting ready for its release on December 18th.
Star Citizen Alpha 2.0 Is Now Available | Starring Multi-Crew Ships, FPS Combat And Spacewalks

I might disagree with Star Citizen's business model of selling ships for real money but I can't deny how good they've been with the game's development. Frequent updates and constant communication are probably one of the main reasons Star Citizen is closing in on $100 million in funding, which as far as crowdfunding numbers go is out of this world.
Today's big update, simple titled Alpha 2.0, is bringing with it multi-crew ships, precision maneuvering, FPS combat, EVA (read as spacewalking) and a big ol' space station to explore. Mind you, Star Citizen is nowhere near finished but what they do have on display seems quite good.
"This War Of Mine" Update 2.0 Adds Mod Support

As you might have noticed previously I am a big fan of modding, I believe they extend a game's lifespan way past what it would normally be and they tend to fix almost every issue I have with a game.
So it is with a smile on my face that I'm here to tell you that the very depressing This War of Mine now has full mod support. You can create and edit anything from items and weapons to scenarios and locations themselves.
GOG Is Giving Away "Giants: Citizen Kabuto" For Free

I've tried Giants: Citizen Kabuto once before and let me tell you, despite playing it, I still have no idea what this game is supposed to be about exactly. It has space marines, sea witches, Kaiju, base building, tons of humor and both first person and third person shooting. How do you even begin to describe such a thing?
While it didn't sell well when it first released, Giants: Citizen Kabuto became a bit of a cult classic over the years. And given that its currently free on GOG I'd suggest you go and pick it up, you might enjoy its strange charms.
Path Of Exile Update Brings Talismans, New Leagues, Skills, Items, Bosses And A Whole Lot More

I've professed my love for all things Path of Exile quite clearly when they first announced their Ascendancy expansion, and while this update isn't the much awaited expansion it does bring with it a whole boatload (which only works as an analogy if you think of big boats, so do that) of new stuff.
In the update released today you can expect to see a whole new type of item, the incredibly powerful talismans, as well as new skills, items, bosses and so much more. Most importantly, with the update came two new leagues with their own self-sustained economies so if you wanted to try POE while being on even footing with the veterans, now is the time.

Can you believe that the Oculus Rift, an actual VR headset, is going to launch in the first quarter of 2016? That information still somehow shocks me every time I think about it, this must be older folks felt when everyone started getting smart phones all of a sudden.
My "old man" musings aside, the Oculus team has announced that EVE: Valkyrie is going to be bundled with the preorder version of the Rift and to commemorate the occasion there was an alpha gameplay video released, you can find it embedded below.
