AOC Announces Premium AGON 32 Inch Monitor

Fremont, Calif. – October 11, 2018 – AOC, a worldwide leader in monitor display technology, today announces the first member of the premium AGON monitor line with HDR support, the AG322QC4 gaming monitor.

The AG322QC4 is a curved 32-inch, QHD HDR gaming monitor with a refresh rate of 144Hz, 4ms response time and AMD’s FreeSync2 technology. FreeSync2 is AMD’s HDR-compatible technology. This monitor is made for enthusiast gamers, who want both high-performance visuals without stutter, screen tearing or motion blur, and a gorgeous visual experience with HDR. This is AOC’s first monitor with Display HDR400 certification.

The 32-inch monitor features a 2560 x 1440 QHD screen with a 1800R curve. The curved VA panel offers vibrant colors with high dynamic range for a more exciting and immersive visual experience to be enjoyed while gaming. The display also covers 85 percent of the NTSC. The AG322QC4’s curve conforms to the way the eye sees and helps reduce eye fatigue.

The display features AMD FreeSync2 technology to provide a smooth, fast and visually stunning gaming experience, with support for HDR visuals. FreeSync2 synchronizes the display’s refresh rates to the GPU in gamers’ AMD-powered PCs to eliminate screen-tearing and minimize display stutter and input lag. This results in fluid and responsive gameplay, with objects appearing sharper, scenes appearing instantly and more vibrant in visual quality than on other monitors. AMD FreeSync2 delivers a smooth and fast gaming experience with a serious competitive edge.

The new AGON monitor also packs in additional AOC monitor technologies such as Shadow Control, AOC’s FlickerFree technology and LowBlue Mode. With AOC’s Shadow Control, gamers can adjust shadow levels in the on-screen display menu to increase contrast for better dark areas without affecting the rest of the screen. Eye comfort is one of the most important considerations for outlasting the competition, and since the AGON displays are designed specifically for the competitive gamer, they feature eye-protecting AOC Flicker-Free Technology to reduce eye strain, discomfort, and fatigue during long gaming sessions. The AG322QC4 goes even further with its Low Blue Light mode, reducing adverse short wavelength blue light without sacrificing color quality.

The AG322QC4 is now available at Amazon and Newegg for $549.99.

King Crab DLC Announced for Fishing: Barents Sea

Moenchengladbach/Germany, October 10, 2018 – “Become the king of crabs“ – following this motto, fearless sea dogs will get the chance to prove their king crab fishing skills among the untamed waves of the icy Barents Sea this November. astragon Entertainment and Norwegian developer studio Misc Games will release these valuable crustaceans to populate the virtual seabed of the new King Crab DLC for Fishing: Barents Sea. The long-awaited expansion will add even more exciting content and new fishing methods to the popular fishing and ship simulation on PC.

With two brand-new ships virtual fishermen can add even more variety to their everyday lives on the high seas. The capable Selfy is inspired by the ship models of the new license partner and fishing vessel manufacturer Selfa Arctic AS. With her compressed size Selfy will be the player’s ideal companion for a successful start into the king crab fishing business while the large Svalbard will significantly increase the crab quota in the later stages of the game. Both vessels are fully equipped for catching the valuable king crabs and therefore just perfect for a successful career in the important North Norwegian crab fishing industry.

Just like any other species of prey in the game, the majestic king crabs can be located by sonar. After successfully identifying an area with high chances of a rich crab population, the fisher will lower baited pots to the seabed. After enough time has passed, he will pull in the pots once more and discover a new mini game: Unlike other species such as cod or shellfish, there is an official law, which states that king crabs have to be sorted by gender. Female crabs will be thrown back into the ocean to provide many new descendants while the male crabs can be sold for significant earnings upon arrival at the harbor.

By learning this fishing method a responsible fisherman will not only secure the survival of the king crab population in the waters of the Barents Sea but also get the chance to become – step by step – the largest fishing operator with the richest assortment of fish and seafood in Northern Norway.

The King Crab DLC will be available on Steam™ in November 2018. The main game Fishing: Barents Sea for PC is already available in retail or as a digital download for 19.99 Euro/19.99 USD/16.99 GBP (RRP).

Castle Dark 2018 Review

If you live in Riverside or are a hardcore fan of Southern California theme parks, you probably have heard of Castle Park. Built in 1976 by famed theme park ride designer Bud Hurlbut, Castle Park has been entertaining families for decades. Now owned by Palace Entertainment, the park has created Castle Dark, their annual Halloween time event. Castle Dark features four haunted houses, or “mazes”, as well as their arcade, miniature golf courses, and more!

One of the coolest things about Castle Dark is that it is not a separate admission from the normal day’s goings on at the park. You can buy your Duke’s Deluxe Pass in the afternoon and stay all the way until the scares stop that evening. A deluxe pass is only $17.99, a real deal when looking at other haunted attractions of this scale. Castle Park contains a variety of carnival style food eats, as well as a coffee bar inside the castle arcade structure itself. Also inside the arcade is Ghost Blasters, a really cool shoot ’em up ride similar to the Buzz Lightyear Astro-Blasters at Disneyland.

Outside the arcade, you’ll find the park’s four haunted houses, “Nightmare”, “Along Came a Spider”, “La Vey Institute”, and “Oblivion” – all of which all have a very indie haunt vibe. Admittedly, the production value of these mazes doesn’t seem all that high, but we had a fun time going through them nonetheless. The monsters inside are giving great energy and there is enough eye candy and props about to make it interesting to look at. The street zone area of Castle Dark isn’t very big, but you will definitely find more than a few monsters stalking around, scaring guests where they can. This isn’t the same kind of scary experience for adults like Halloween Horror Nights or Knott’s Scary Farm are, but you might just have some fun jump scares throughout your night – I know I did!

In the daytime, you’ll find the park hosting Dia de los Muertos activities for the youngsters. This is a super family-friendly event where young children can go through a small hay maze as well as enjoy the kiddie rides that the park has to offer.

Overall, Castle Dark is an excellent value for $17.99 and great for Inland Empire families looking to have some Halloween fun without having to trek out to Orange County. Castle Dark runs Fridays through Sundays throughout October. You can find ticket information and more at the event’s official website.
