Links & the Like
- Elite Dangerous officially launched the closed beta of Odyssey to great fanfare and has fulfilled every one of our expectations. A daily release cadence of dot-dot patches, check. Networking, instancing and teaming problems, check. Inexplicable bugs and oversights, check. Relentless logging back in to try to break the game in weird ways, cheh…. Well, I guess that one’s on us. We have so many things to say, but let’s get the other games out of the way first.
- Star Citizen has finished off Season 2 of the Epic Month of May with a 40 minute thrill ride of danger, anticipation and unfiltered adrenaline to your mind. Of course, I’m talking about the Tony Zurovec TED talk on the Star Citizen background simulation. Quiver while you watch Quantum! Feel your heartbeat Quicken as you learn about Quasar! Question your sanity as you watch him design Stellaris 3.0! We’d like to condense it down for you, but the full video is right on the edge of being a singularity already.
- Game Glass, which is a third party utility that lets you map in-game functions to external tablets, has released a beta of a new feature that has Lennon and Skiffy just all in a tizzy.
- Descent Underground got a partial answer…maybe, from a judge which has some authority but not the final say… mostly, and now knows what definition of the redacted word they have to use… probably. Look, Tony’s going to clear all this right up… I think.
