    Black Ops 3 Nuk3town Easter Egg - 'Weeping Angel' Mannequins

    On the updated version of Nuketown, unfortunately named Nuk3town in Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, you can once again unlock a special Easter egg with the mannequins. In the first Black Ops game, I believe you had to remove the head from each mannequin and it played a song throughout the map. This time, you need to remove the arms from each of the mannequins in the updated Nuketown map. The result is them all turning into fast moving agents of death that only move when you aren't looking.

    Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns Review

    Fresh, exciting, and fun but comes up just shy of greatness.
    Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns delivers on being a solid expansion to the already enjoyable base Guild Wars 2 experience. If you already have a predisposition to disliking the MMO genre or Guild Wars 2, this expansion won’t suddenly turn you into a believer.

    Early SteamOS Gaming Performance 'Significantly Worse' Than Windows

    Ars Technica recently put SteamOS through its paces and found that Valve's new operating system performs "significantly worse" than Windows when it comes to playing games. That seems like a pretty big issue since the thing you're going to be doing the most on SteamOS is playing games. While SteamOS is currently the new kid in town, it still doesn't mean it shouldn't be compared to the most widely used operating system in use by a vast majority of Steam users. Ars found that the performance gap between...
