The North Atlantic fishing season opens today as Misc Games launch realistic fishing simulator Fishing: North Atlantic with a 10% discount on Steam.
Step into the Captain’s chair and take on the high seas of the majestic waters off Nova Scotia in search of ocean gold through realistic weather conditions and atmospheric effects, using commercial fishing techniques such as harpooning and deep-line-buoy fishing to reel in massive Swordfish and Tuna or set crab pots and lobster traps. Choose from one of 25 hand-crafted fishing vessels and use modern technologies such as GPS and sonar to follow the movements of your prey, which are equipped with advanced fish-AI, making them realistically elusive and difficult to track. Fishing: North Atlantic utilizes AMD FreeSync™ Premium Pro, providing highly accurate luminance and wide color gamut testing to enable an exceptional HDR visual gaming experience.
From understanding weather conditions and water temperature to navigating dynamic fish habitats, you’ll be tasked to meet your quotas and balance staffing and maintenance costs through volatile market price fluctuations that threaten at any moment to sink your whole operation!
“This is a big and exciting day for Misc Games, and we are very proud of the product that we are releasing in Fishing: North Atlantic,” said Yasemin Hamurcu from Misc Games. “We’ve built upon the successes from our first title Fishing: Barents Sea, which acquired quite a cult following and have implemented suggestions from the community to make this sequel the most realistic fishing simulator available.”
Following on the popularity of Misc Games’ first title Fishing: Barents Sea, Fishing: North Atlantic promises the thrill of professional commercial fishing without the real life dangers of high seas and storms, rain, wind or even seasickness! Fishing: North Atlantic is now available for a 10% launch discount for a total price of $34,99/£27,79/CAD39,99 until October 23. For players that already own Fishing: Barents Sea a further 10% discount will be implemented for Fishing: North Atlantic for a total launch savings of 20% off the game’s base price. Misc Games is looking forward to sharing this new adventure with you!
The most recent installment of the Cyberpunk 2077-focused online event started out with Rides of the Dark Future — an in-depth look at the variety of cars, bikes, and other means of transportation in Night City and beyond, including a sneak-peek at a very special ride belonging to the Cyberpunk legend.
Two behind-the-scenes videos followed. Revving Up Night City shows the development team recording audio for the vehicles of the game to help bring them fully to life. In Arch Motorcycle with Keanu Reeves and Gard Hollinger, both co-founders of the motorcycle company talk details about their collaboration with CD PROJEKT RED on Cyberpunk 2077.
2077 in Style, on the other hand, is all about the look, feel, and fashion of 2077’s most dangerous megalopolis, as well as that of its inhabitants — those famous, infamous, and everyone in-between.
The latest episode of Night City Wire also featured the reveal of an all new CGI teaser — The Diner — showing gamers what it takes to get to the top in the world of the dark future.
Last but not least, during the pre-show segment of the event, a video from the grand finale of the official Cyberpunk 2077 cosplay contest was aired, where finalists presented their creations and a winner was decided.

Flight attendants, prepare the doors for arrival and crosscheck — AMC Games is pleased to announce that Airplane Mode is now available on Steam for $11.99 USD. Created by Hosni Auji and Bacronym Games, this passenger simulator is a chance for players to unplug and enjoy a transatlantic journey from JFK to Halifax or Reykjavik in real time.
Airplane Mode simulates everything that happens between boarding a flight and arriving at your destination, including crying babies, spotty wi-fi, the possibility of turbulence, and the choice between a delicious fish or chicken dinner. No two flights in Airplane Mode are ever the same, because flight events and circumstances are randomized for a replayable travel experience.
“It’s hard to believe that this once strange idea for a game, which I was almost too timid to make, is now going to be out there for people to experience and, hopefully, enjoy,” said Hosni Auji. “Airplane Mode wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work of my team and support of the folks at AMC Games. Now that the game has taken off, I look forward to seeing the response…and the opportunity to come up with more aviation puns.”
“One of my favorite things about this title is that it really pushes the boundaries of gaming,” said Clayton Neuman, VP of Gaming for AMC. ”At AMC Games, we’re always trying to give players a memorable, unusual, or exciting experience, and Airplane Mode definitely fits at least one of those descriptions. We’re thrilled for players to finally get their hands on this one-of-a-kind game.”
Game highlights include:
● Entertainment. Airplane Mode includes a variety of in-game content, such as podcasts, videos, music and more—and some of these are exclusive to the game. For example, the Podcasts app on your in-game phone includes an ambient music podcast available only inside Airplane Mode.
● Authenticity. Infamous game designer Bennett Foddy lends his voice and personality as the voice of your captain throughout the flight. Before takeoff, you’ll view an inflight safety video produced by AMC Games’ “slightly off” network sibling IFC.
● Simplicity. Unlike other aviation games, there is no learning curve with Airplane Mode. You can start relaxing from the very first minute, with no need for extensive tutorials or instructions.
● Discovery. Randomized flight events create a different experience every time. Will your flight be smooth through clear skies, or will you experience turbulence and stormy weather? Will you be annoyed with crying babies and a delayed arrival, or will you find enjoyment and peace on your journey?
● Perseverance. Depending on your mood and mindset, your flight may be challenging instead of relaxing. Will your brain successfully battle boredom and allow you to arrive at your destination?
● Comfort. Enjoy the experience and quiet familiarity of flying without the worries and discomfort of real-life air travel — no lost baggage, no leg cramps, and no jetlag!
What do you get when you couple the former Creative Director of the LA Haunted Hayride, the creators of the R Rated Speakeasy, and a Halloween season filled with talk of pandemic? You get The Bite LA – a Halloween drive-thru food crawl and haunt. In a year where haunted attractions are largely shuttered in Southern California, we couldn’t help but drive out to Legg Lake in Los Angeles County to check out the spooky fun.
Arriving at the Legg Lake location, we drove around the windy road leading to the main event parking lot. There, we hit a long line of vehicles waiting to get inside. The wait took about 45 minutes – our ticket time was 9PM but we arrived at 8PM. The 45 minutes went by very quickly though as the group I brought in the vehicle played Halloween music, chatted about haunted attractions past, and ruminating on next year’s (hopefully) COVID-free Halloween season.
We were greeted at the gate and handed menus to look at and select the kind of meal we wanted. They have standard, vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. We selected our choices and were told to follow a path to the next station where we would get food trays and flatware. On we drove to the next station and we were very impressed by how smoothly the whole process was. After getting the trays and place settings (all individually-wrapped) we drove to the security stop. There we were briefed on how to navigate the Creature Safari and food crawl after. The speed limit on the safari is 3MPH – also, they ask you to turn off your headlights. Guests are encouraged to use flashlights to spot the creatures, so be sure to bring some! Then, we proceeded down the safari path…
The Bite LA’s Creature Safari is outstanding. You will drive along the dark paths (outlined by LED torches), looking for monsters and creatures that inhabit the area around Legg Lake. I held my flashlight out the window and braced it on the frame. Slowly, we crept along the path and kept an eye out for creepy crawlies. We sure did see them! The Bite LA has done an outstanding job with its monster costumes and creatures. The low light helps sell the effects (while you should bring a flashlight, the experience is most effective if it’s a low to mild intensity model) and the scareactors portraying the creatures do a great job at faux-charging the vehicles or making Sasquatch-like pop outs through the foliage. The soundtrack for The Bite LA’s Creature Safari is provided via radio station. Once tuned to the assigned station, your car will be swirling with eerie sounds and ambiance to enhance the ride.
Once we made it through the safari, we were stopped a station that explained the rules for the food crawl portion of the event. We were also assigned another radio station that provided soundtrack to the food crawl. Thankfully, the food crawl portion of The Bite LA is just as entertaining as the Creature Safari. You drive from food station to food station while impressive monsters serve you tasting portions based on your menu via a long reach bucket system. You get some good (yet socially-distant) face time with the monsters here and really get to appreciate the work that went into their costumes and masks. Don’t forget to wish them each a “Happy Halloween!”.
Finally, we reached the virtual campfire location, which features a projected virtual camp fire with pre-recorded video segments. We were told to tune our radios to the station for that portion of the experience and enjoy the show while we ate our food. We found a nice spot up close to the screen and began eating. Even with the food being a bit cooled off due to the length of time it takes getting through the food crawl, it was all very tasty – at least as tasty as the tastings at some theme park events right now. I am not sure which business is responsible for making the food at The Bite LA, but they should be commended. The hot apple cider I chose (you can pick between hot cocoa or cider) helps top off the meal and the ghost stories being displayed on the screen were genuinely creepy.
The Bite LA is an outstanding haunted attraction – especially in a year with a global pandemic. I hope the event comes back next year even bigger if COVID has been wiped out. They have a winning formula with this event and, so long as you’re a little patient at the start in line, you’ll have fun. The Bite LA event info and tickets can be found at their official website.
Seven years after the official release of version 1.00 and dozens of updates later, Bohemia Interactive is proud to announce the 2.00 release of Arma 3. The latest update to the PC-exclusive military sandbox sim game adds a free new firing drill, as well as a new color edition of an existing firearm, a camo variant for selected gear, extra Steam achievements, and the option for players to share compositions made in Arma 3’s scenario editor via the Steam Workshop.
The new firing drill (Course of Fire: Gray) invites players to set a record time on a challenging course hosted by a familiar operative from Arma 3’s story campaigns. A gold medal is awarded to those who can complete the drill in under two minutes (2:00). Players running the course might encounter various surprises related to previous versions of Arma 3 if they know where to look and what to do.
Players can now share custom compositions from the game directly to the Steam Workshop. They can do so by accessing Arma 3’s extensive library of weapons, vehicles, equipment, characters, structures, and props available and arranging their in-game assets in the editor. When they’re done, all they need to do is save their selected assets as a custom composition and click on the appropriate icon to publish it to the Steam Workshop. Compositions can include anything from full-blown military camps to specific roadblocks or checkpoints, a Halloween pumpkin festival, a simple table and chairs, or anything in between. By sharing their unique compositions via the Steam Workshop, Arma 3 content creators can help each other build expansive, detailed, and atmospheric scenarios quickly and easily. Further documentation can be found on Bohemia Interactive’s Community Wiki.
But wait, there’s more! The 2.00 update also includes a new arid variant of existing CTRG special forces gear (stealth uniform and combat helmet – available for owners of the Arma 3 Apex expansion) and a black variant for the P07 pistol – both of which are used in the new firing drill. Players can also unlock three new ‘2.00’ themed Steam achievements. And finally, all players receive a lifetime’s virtual supply of “Arma” Eau de Combat, which is now available as an in-game glass perfume bottle prop.
The complete changelog for update 2.00 can be found on the Arma 3 website. Those who have yet to pick up the game, or simply wish to complete their DLC collection, can get the Arma 3 base game and all of its downloadable content (DLC) at up to 75% off on Steam. People who purchase the Arma 3 Ultimate Edition, Apex Edition, Contact Edition, or DLC Essentials will receive an additional bundle discount on top. This special offer is available from Wednesday October 14 until Monday October 19 (starting and ending at 10:00 PDT/19:00 CEST).
The Alpha version of Arma 3 was first released in March 2013. It was one of the first titles to enter Steam Early Access and became the first to graduate from the Early Access program when version 1.00 was released on September 12, 2013. Since then, the Arma 3 base game has sold over 6 million copies, received over 80 free updates, and has been reinforced by 10 DLC packs and 2 expansions selling over 11.5 million times combined. Aside from its wide variety of official content, Arma 3 has also become a popular platform for user-generated content with over 75,000 items shared by players on the Steam Workshop, adding tons of free community-made scenarios, assets, sounds, gameplay features, and total conversions to the game.
Arma 3 remains popular to this day, with a 90% positive user rating on Steam (based on 120,000+ reviews), 100,000+ registered community groups (units), and an average playtime per user of 150+ hours. Hundreds of thousands of people still play the game every month. Bohemia Interactive currently plans on publishing several new Arma 3 projects made by third-party developers as part of its Creator DLC initiative. The first Creator DLC, Global Mobilization – Cold War Germany, was released in April 2019, and has sold more than 100,000 copies to date.
