  1. PS4 is about to get streaming media with an official Plex app

    by , 12-26-2014 at 06:59 AM

    If you’re a PS3 or PS4 user, your media streaming needs are finally being met. Earlier this week, Plex announced that native media streaming clients are being released on both the PS3 and PS4, so the existing in-browser and DLNA solutions are no longer the only options. Unfortunately, the app isn’t being released in the US just yet. Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania are the only markets with access for ...

  2. Valve enables region locking in Steam, to stop you buying cheap games from Russia

    by , 12-25-2014 at 03:05 AM

    Steam, one of the sole bastions of sanity when it comes to digital games distribution, has enabled region locking on games. This means if you buy a game in one territory, you can no longer use it in another territory — much like DVD region locking (but more effective, as Steam’s region locking hasn’t been cracked). With no official statement from Valve, there are two possible ...
  3. Everything old is new again - An interview with Ron Gilbert, the creator of Monkey Island, on making old games with new tools

    If you’ve played an adventure game in the last 27 years, it has most certainly been influenced by the work of Ron Gilbert. Modern games like Machinarium and Broken Age borrow heavily from the ideas pioneered in Ron Gilbert’s early graphic adventures like Maniac Mansion and The Secret of Monkey Island. Ron has since had a long and successful career spanning numerous different genres, but at long ...
  4. A range of large LG TVs - LG readies 55-inch 8K TV, and new quantum dot 4K display technology

    by , 12-24-2014 at 11:36 AM

    This year it was 4K — next year, it’s looking like it’ll be 8K and quantum dots. At CES 2015 — now less than a month away! — LG says it will show off a 55-inch 8K TV, and a 4K TV that uses quantum dots to improve image quality and color saturation. In both cases, we are talking about IPS LCD panels, rather than OLED technology, which should mean that both the 4K and 8K displays are reasonably ...
  5. The Pirate Bay ‘revived’ by rival IsoHunt, while figures show no decline in piracy after shutdown

    by , 12-23-2014 at 07:08 AM

    A week ago, The Pirate Bay was raided and shut down. At this point, with no resurrection apparently forthcoming, it looks like it might be dead forever. This hasn’t stopped fake sites from popping up — including, rather amusingly, a site called Old Pirate Bay that is being managed by IsoHunt, one of Pirate Bay’s largest rivals. According to data from an anti-piracy firm, which tracks ...
