The antitrust lawsuit against Valve from Wolfire Games got a little spicy this week. To quickly get you up to speed: Wolfire claims that Valve uses its position with Steam to control game prices and muscle out competition.

    Twitch Officially Adds Chat Replay to Recorded Videos

    If you missed a stream and wanted to watch it via highlight or VOD later on, you did not get the full experience.

Sadly, VODs and highlights don't include that part of the experience. However that has all changed now as Twitch has finally added in Chat Replay to all recorded videos.

  • The Importance of Audio in Games

    The Importance of Audio in Games

    When people talk about games, one of the first things they'll talk about are the visuals. Let's face it, the game's visuals are the big selling point for a lot of games. Graphics are seen more easily than any other aspect of the game when it comes time to promote a product. You can see the visuals in screenshots, animated gifs, and video that is often accompanied by a single song. The next big thing people notice once they actually have the game is how it plays. Where then does the game audio itself...

    Ahead of the official price announcement comes the leak that the virtual reality device, the HTC Vive, will run you $799 (USD) when it's released in early April (2016).
