Well, Space Hulk was just released on STEAM (and it’s fantastic, I’ll post a review soon, but enjoying playing it far too much right now)

But it looks like we’re getting a follow up already and this time its apparently a First Person Shooter

Cool!

This week on the Sunday Night Showcase –

We will be joined in IRC and live on air by

The Dead Good is a German-Italian alternative rock duo based out of Los Angeles and comes across with female attitude and raw sounds.
Formed by Isabella Knight (vocals) and Sonny Lanegan (guitar/vocals), formerly frontman of the electronic rock band White Pulp, it is known for its unique sound with bluesy elements and a hint of punk.
Their music is a personal journey of experiences following the honest and unmodified impressions of two maniacs who fell in love with each other and travel together since then.

The guys from The Dead Good will be joining us live on air this evening, answering you questions from IRC, Facebook and twitter

Make sure to join us aswell to get some requests in! The Live request system both on the website and in IRC @ irc.sanitarium.fm port:6667 #sanitarium.fm for live show discussion

Developer Linsey Murdock gives players a preview of the upcoming crafting additions!

To clarify something Linsey discussed in the livestream: The quality of the salvage kit used has no effect on the chance to find ‘Essence of luck’ or on the quality of the ‘Essence of Luck’ found.

Google took to their company-owned Social Network, Google+, today to announce improvements to video chat in Google Hangouts, putting an emphasis on improved video quality.

Within the next few weeks, Google are giving all users the ability to use 720p HD-quality video for their video conferences. Some users already have the ability; for others, it’s a waiting game as Google perform a gradual roll-out of the service. Up to 10 people can be in a single call using 720p video – though of course, RAM usage is likely to sky-rocket quickly with larger conferences if everyone uses HD.

However, some browsers may find themselves left by the wayside. Also announced by Google and somewhat overlooked by the mainstream press, Google have announced that Hangouts will also be dropping support for the H.264 Video Codec for their own WebM (also known as VB8) video codec, in what appears to be another move to push through Google’s own vision for what the HTML5 specification should be like.

Without boring you with the details, the WebM format was taken up by Google after buying it from On2; and is a fast, lossless video code that is designed for the internet. Google want all the major browsers to adopt it so that it becomes standard for HTML5; this way, browsers don’t need plugins to show video and will “just work” in any browser with just a link to the video placed in a HTML video tag.

What does this mean to you? Well, if you use Firefox, Seamonkey, Google Chrome, Opera, Konqueror or Web/Ephiphany as your main Browser, or you have an Android phone – congratulations! These support WebM built in at least in current releases, so enjoy your HD Hangouts! Use Safari on a Mac OS computer, or Internet Explorer on any device? Sadly, these don’t support WebM by default, but don’t panic! You can download WebM plugins by searching for them online; and if you install one, your browser should be able to join in afterwards.

However, if you use an iPhone or iPad – bad luck. Apple is firmly against playing in Google’s court; so prepare to lose your ability to use Video in hangouts.

Chalk another one up to Google.

If a recent forum post is true, Microsoft may be working on introducing a digital marketplace that lets you resell your used games to other Xbox One owners.

Although unconfirmed, the NeoGaf post outlines a supposedly leaked survey that suggests Microsoft is introducing a virtual place where Xbox One used games can be bought and sold at various prices, depending on included features; in essence, a virtual used game store where players sell to and buy from other players

The survey also mentions the use of premium services, such as an Xbox Live Gold subscription (Or PlayStation Plus, if Sony introduces the rumoured virtual marketplace). This seems to suggest that only members paying for these services will have access to the digital store.

We’re waiting for Microsoft to comment, but the rumour is still unconfirmed.
