How Project CARS 2 Is Positioning Itself as 2017’s Serious Racer to Beat
Back in July 2015 three inches of snow fell on Mount Panorama, Bathurst – the home of Australia’s most-famous racetrack. Snowfall like this reportedly wasn’t uncommon prior to the 1950s but these days it’s a very unusual occurrence. The dump in 2015 was the most seen there since the mid-1980s, when the mountain copped a serving of snow in the lead-up to the 1984 Bathurst 1000.

Gone Home, Tacoma, & Environmental Storytelling
A photograph of a relative, purposely set face down in a drawer. A copy of Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar lying half read on a seat. An empty bottle of hair dye, discarded beside a bright-red splattered bath. A bottle of whiskey, placed on a shelf up high so nobody could immediately spot it, but precariously enough to give away the state of the person who put it there.
These objects in Fullbright’s gameography of two, Gone Home and Tacoma, speak volumes about the people who owned them. Every object in the Greenbrair’s giant Pacific-Northwestern home and the deserted space station Tacoma add to a portrait of the people who owned them, people you never meet but whose spectral presence haunt you as the credits roll.
Mario + Rabbids Dev: Pre-E3 Leaks Were ‘Discouraging’
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle's pre-E3 leaks were quite discouraging for the team behind the project.
Prior to the Ubisoft's official announcement during its E3 2017 press conference, several leaks, including the game's art assets and release window, surfaced online.
In an interview with Eurogamer, creative director Davide Soliani said the developers "were aiming to do a big surprise at E3," which ultimately did not pan out.
I Am Setsuna, Tumbleseed Discounted on Nintendo Switch
The JRPG I Am Setsuna and indie action game Tumbleseed have both received 33 percent discounts on the Nintendo Switch eShop.

9 Games We Want Ported to the Switch
With the news that studios may be working on porting a AAA title to Nintendo Switch, there's a lot of room for speculation on what might be showing up - especially considering the breadth of developer and publishers that have been confirmed to be working with Nintendo. Games from big series like Resident Evil are already in the process of being ported, and even Nintendo has brought Wii U bestsellers like Mario Kart 8 over to their new platform.
Dodgeball’s ESPN8 ‘The Ocho’ to Become Real for One Day
It's been over a decade since the movie Dodgeball released, and it still holds a place in our collective pop-culture hearts. In an homage to the film, ESPN is turning ESPN8 "The Ocho" into an actual channel, albeit only for a day.
The sports broadcast giant is turning ESPNU, its channel normally focused on college athletics, into The Ocho on August 8.
It's not just a cosmetic change, either. ESPN is really leaning into the mythical sports channel, "bringing you the finest in seldom-seen sports," just like in the movie.

Best Liquid CPU Coolers 2019: Silent and Reliable AIO Liquid Coolers
If you've ever been curious about liquid CPU cooling, but didn't want to deal with the expense, installation, and maintenance of a DIY setup (as well as the possibility of leaks), an all-in-one (AIO) unit provides much of the same benefits as “open-loop” cooling, but without any of the messy set up. They come pre-sealed and the pump is integrated into the cold plate typically, so you just install the radiator in your PC case, bolt the water block onto your processor and you're good to go.
It's not much different than installing an air cooler, and it provides better cooling and less noise (usually). If you’re ready to take the plunge, these are five of the best liquid-coolers for your Gaming PC.
