I was so sure that it was just going to be an update to Windows 10 because, well, Microsoft said that Windows 10 was going to be the "last" version of Windows that they release.

    How well can a block do a spin dash?

    Valve Again Cracks Down on Region Hopping to Buy Cheap Steam Games

    Users are now limited to one region change every three months.

    Valve has now made it even more difficult for super-savvy consumers to region hop on Steam in an effort to buy Steam games at a cheaper price.
