Sightmark Unveils New LoPro Units for 2018

(MANSFIELD, TEXAS) – Redesigned and improved for 2018, the latest LoPro Combo units from Sightmark are ideal for your tactical, home defense and hunting needs. Three revamped models ensure you’ll stay on target, including the LoPro Mini Combo (SM25012), LoPro Combo Flashlight and Green Laser Sight (SM25013) and LoPro Mini (SM25016). Hinted at by their name, all LoPro accessories boast a low profile design that allow them to be mounted in front of optics without obstructing the shooter’s view.

Replacing previous LoPro models, the new LoPro Mini Combo adds improvements including aluminum housing, protected windage/elevation adjustments, thread-on and rotating pressure pad and variable LED brightness for flashlight modes. A streamlined, solid metal construction and single-piece integrated mount assure your LoPro stays firm and holds zero in the face of extreme conditions and harsh use.

Similar to the LoPro Mini Combo, the upgraded LoPro Combo is a full-sized flashlight/laser combo that adds a useful IR illuminator to be used in conjunction with night vision units. A high-intesity, variable brightness LED flashlight gives shooters the perfect amount of light for their current shooting scenario. Ideal for a variety of day and nighttime situations, the LoPro Combo’s screw-in pressure pad securely attaches to the unit and stays in place during severe field use.

Lastly, for those wanting the most compact and lightweight setup possible, the LoPro Mini is second to none. Weighing a mere 6.7 oz., this IPX5 water resistant laser/flashlight is light on your wallet, too, but packs a big punch. Featuring hand adjustable windage/elevation, tool-less adjustments can be made at the drop of a hat. All LoPro Combo models include a pressure pad and a single CR123A battery.

Deep Rock Galactic Early Access Launch Trailer

SKÖVDE, Sweden – Feb. 27, 2018 – Deep Rock Galactic enforcers Coffee Stain Publishing and Ghost Ship Games today announce that Deep Rock Galactic officially opens for business tomorrow! Enterprising dwarves across the globe will be able to join their most ambitious mining operation to date when Deep Rock Galactic digs into Steam Early Access and Xbox Game Preview for $24.99/€22.99.

Watch the launch trailer for Deep Rock Galactic here:

In Deep Rock Galactic players take up arms as one of four classes of badass dwarven miners, each with their own invaluable set of skills and gear. The Driller, the Engineer, the Scout and the Gunner must work together to survive a relentless onslaught of ravenous aliens and escape the procedurally generated caves with their bounty intact. Starting tomorrow players can undertake a plethora of different missions in 7 unique regions of Planet Hoxxes, with plenty more content to come.

Key Features:

  • 4-player Co-Op: Work together as a team to dig, explore, and fight your way through massive cave systems filled with hordes of deadly enemies and valuable resources.

  • 4 Unique Classes: Mow through enemies as the Gunner, scout ahead and light up the caves as the Scout, chew through solid rock as the Driller, or support the team with defensive structures and turrets as the Engineer.

  • Fully Destructible Environments: Destroy everything around you to reach your goal. There is no set path so you can complete your mission your way. But proceed with caution, you don’t want to stumble into an alien swarm unprepared!

  • Procedurally Generated Cave Network: Explore a network of procedurally generated cave systems filled with enemies to fight and riches to collect.

  • Light Your Path: The underground caves are dark and full of terrors. You will need to bring your own lights if you want to illuminate these pitch-black caverns.

Deep Rock Galactic first began recruiting brave space mining dwarves when it entered Closed Alpha on Steam in December 2016. Since then, more than ten thousand test-subjects have played the ever-improving Closed-Alpha builds and delivered invaluable feedback to the team. By popular demand, the team have thus far added upgrades, drones, vanity items, a mini-boss, biomes and refrained from fixing the broken barrel physics!

“Deep Rock Galactic is a gleefully chaotic mix of shooting, mining, fully destructible caves and some super irresponsible corporate management,” says Søren Lundgaard, CEO/Co-Founder of Ghost Ship Games. “We’re absolutely thrilled to be launching onto Xbox and PC, and we have big plans for the continued development of Deep Rock Galactic – new enemies, new biomes, new upgrades, even new playable classes!”

“Deep Rock Galactic is one of the first titles we’re launching as Coffee Stain Publishing and we couldn’t be happier to work with Ghost Ship Games,” says Anton Westbergh, CEO/Co-Founder of Coffee Stain. “Since the game was revealed at Microsoft’s E3 showcase last year, the response has been overwhelmingly positive and we’re thrilled that Ghost Ship Games chose us to join them on this wild journey.”

Deep Rock Galactic will launch on Xbox Game Preview and Steam Early Access at midnight PST tonight!

RRP:

Steam Early Access – $24.99/€22.99/£18.99

Xbox Game Preview –  $24.99/€22.99/£19.24

The Deep Rock Galactic Soundtrack, 22 full tracks of gut-punching space dwarf synth goodness will also be available via Steam for $7.99/€7.99/£5.79.

Corsair Gaming HS60 Wired Surround Headset Review

The Corsair HS60 wired surround sound gaming headset features classy style and a fairly comfortable fit. In terms of its design, it takes all of its technical specs, looks, and style from the Corsair HS50 wired stereo headset – in fact, it’s actually the same headset. Where the HS50 and HS60 differ is that the HS60 comes with a USB surround sound dongle that provides virtual 7.1 channel audio as well as is offered in a slightly different color combination. Really, the surround sound dongle is what the extra $20 dollars is for in the jump from the HS50 to the HS60, and it is well worth the upgrade. I got the chance to test out the HS60 using my PC gaming rig, over the course of a variety of situations, but more on that later.

In terms of design, the Corsair HS60 features dark style with large, comfy ear cups that I wore for a few hours in each of my play sessions and did not feel any ear discomfort. I did feel a little sore spot on the top of my head where the headband was touching it, but nothing too bad. Overall, it feels great to wear and, while not as comfortable as more expensive Corsair headsets, it can easily be donned for a few hours without too much issue. The removable boom microphone is flexible, and allows for a lot of customization in making sure it is placed for best audio pickup.

The Corsair software suite that controls all their peripherals now, the CUE (Corsair Utility Engine) allows gamers to customize the HS60’s sound profile in a virtual sound equalizer and even comes with a variety of presets that you might find viable. It should be noted, however, that the CUE software will only work with the HS60 when connected to your computer with the USB dongle. If connected to your computer via 3.5mm jack, it will just be used as any other set of stereo headphones.

According to the manufacturer, the HS60 is “Discord Certified”. This means that the microphone and audio have been tested for quality communication and sound. What exact testing methodology was used in this determination is anyone’s guess. However, it seems to be legit as I had no issues at all communicating with Discord and the audio seemed good. I was able to hear others without issue and others said my audio came in loud and clear.

As far as gaming with the Corsair H60 headset goes, I have no big complaints. The virtual surround sound was nice and I experienced fine audio from Metal Gear Survive, Fallout 4, Star Wars: Battlefront 2, and other titles. In fact, I was very impressed with the HS60’s sound separation – especially at its $70 dollar price point. Where I wish the headset had been a bit better was in listening to higher quality music tracks. When doing so, I noticed that sometimes the audio sound a bit, for lack of a better term, “muffled” at the higher end of the sound spectrum. Not bad, but you could definitely hear it. For regular MP3 playing though, I doubt the average person will notice. On the low end, the 50mm drivers do a fine job of pumping out the bass without overpowering everything else.

Overall, the Corsair HS60 wired surround gaming headphones are a great option for those gamers looking to have good virtual surround sound while not breaking their bank accounts. At $69.99, it is right in line with other headsets in this category and is extremely comfortable to wear. In addition, its low-key, dark style will not serve as a distraction when playing, making it a good choice for tournament play. The Corsair HS60 wired surround sound gaming headset is available now at a variety of online retailers – including Corsair’s official website.

Alongside the anniversary, a new line-up of heavy metal war machines is ready to enter the game. A brand new tree of nine formidable Chinese Tank destroyers will join the fray, with these armored annihilators becoming available from February 13. Begin your warpath with the Tier II T-26G, lock and load with the Tier IV SU-76G, bring the pain with the Tier VII T-34-2G, and seek and destroy with the Tier X WZ-113G.
