Things would have happened a little differently had Frozen taken place in Liberty City. Things might've been a bit more...violent.
Modder Peter "Durante" Thoman led the charge in making Dark Souls a better-looking game on PC. While the PC port of the sequel is an improvement over developer From Software's last effort, there's room to push its graphics further, and Durante has some tips to make it happen.
Writing for PC Gamer, he's covered downsampling from higher resolutions, how to achieve better anti-aliasing through Nvidia Inspector, an alternate method for ambient occlusion, and using SweetFX to alter the amount of ambient light "to help re-capture a more dramatic mood."
Tweaks, in other words, to get a little something extra out of Dark Souls II. Durante has another article planned that "will investigate the possibilities for and likelihood of more in-depth and game-specific modding." There's no way I'll be able to resist double dipping with the PC version.

To you, your short story is unique and perfect. To editors, it's "the third steampunk time-travel story we've seen this week." But which trends should you try to avoid?

Out of all the places I could play Beat Hazard, I usually play on my phone. Beat Hazard on Steam, however, is packing brand new DLC. The Shadow Operations pack may just change my mind about which platform I choose to play on.
The DLC comes toting nine brand new ships with different firing patterns and abilities, Steam Workshop support, and 16 additional Steam achievements for when you just need something new to accomplish. New ships and achievements aren't the only reasons you'll want to check out the new content, though. You can upload your own images (any .png file) to create your own ships. You mean I can fly around as the Bebop? I'm down.
In addition, the new Shadow Mission system assigns specific quests to each ship, doling out mission stars and ranking you up as you go. You could eventually become Shadow Force Elite, so while you're cranking Daft Punk or Mark Lanegan, consider your true potential. Personally, I play my best games to Capsule or 2NE1, but that's just me.
The Shadow Operations DLC pack is available now for $4.99 and can be purchased here.
No MMO can exist without a handful of emotes and idle animations, and The Elder Scrolls Online is also no exception. IGN shared a short clip where the play around with the available ones.

I didn't mind the first Spider-Man movie, but every superhero flick has plenty of crazy continuity errors and ridiculous tropes. Spider-Man's tally? 115 in 11 minutes.
