News::Firewatch Photos will print and ship your in-game snapshots

In-game photo modes are cool and all, but beyond sharing your Driveclub or Arkham Knight snaps via social media, there isn't much you can do with them. Well, in the PC version of Firewatch (out this week, and on PlayStation 4) you can go a step further and have them printed and mailed to you from the folks at developer Campo Santo and publisher Panic. There's an in-game disposable camera, you see, and photographing artist Olly Moss's gorgeous landscapes is highly recommended; $15 nets you a set of 4" x 6" prints and they'll ship free "almost anywhere." TechnoBuffalo notes that after finishing the game you're presented with a link to an online store to place an order for your shots; that publication's photos are embedded below.

News::You can now buy MSI's eye-tracking laptop

MSI has revealed that people can now pick up the flagship GT72S laptop for the princely sum of $2,599.99. Unlike other high-end gaming devices, this one has a trick up its sleeve: Tobii's eye-tracking sensor technology. We've previously showed you prototypes of the kit, but after six months in the labs, it's now ready for prime time. As before, the device's extra sensors will let your eyes interact with the game as long as there's support for it. So far, titles like Assassin's Creed: Syndicate, Assassin's Creed: Rogue and Elite: Dangerous are all able to take advantage of the GT72S' extra hardware.

News::Humble Bundle is funding its own games

Now that the Humble Bundle crew has a monthly indie game subscription service, you might be wondering: how is it going to keep you coming back for more? By offering exclusive games, that's how. The outfit tells Destructoid that it's funding small titles, to be called Humble Originals, that you'll get first through a Humble Monthly subscription. The first example is Mighty Rabbit Studios' Elephant in the Room (above), included in the February offer. They won't necessarily be permanent exclusives, but you may have to wait a while if you're bent on buying games one at a time.

News::'Red Dead Redemption' pays a brief visit to the Xbox One

Ever since Microsoft announced backwards compatibility for the Xbox One, gamers have campaigned for the inclusion of one title more than any other: Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption. The open-world western is yet to grace Microsoft's 100+ strong list of available games, but the probability that it will make an appearance was given a massive boost after it briefly appeared on the Xbox One marketplace for a few hours over the weekend.
