The LinQ and LinQ Touch are Viotek’s smallest monitors to date, packing a brilliant 1080p 15.6-inch display with a 178-degree viewing angle into an ultra-thin (0.36-inch thick), lightweight (1.35 and 1.7 pounds respectively) body. Both the LinQ and LinQ Touch offer an IPS panel with a 60hz refresh rate and support AMD FreeSync®. Brightness is adjustable up to 250 nits.

The LinQ and LinQ Touch feature two USB-C ports as well as HDMI and 3.5mm audio out, offering more connection options than other portable monitors. Both are wrapped in a magnetic leather case that doubles as an adjustable stand offering multiple configurations and viewing angles.

The LinQ Touch features a 10-point precision capacitive touchscreen and a beautifully crafted metal and glass body with a mirror finish.

Chatham, Kent – 15th August 2019   Train Sim World 2020 is right on schedule, pulling onto PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 with authentic routes new to 2020 and detailed features designed for both beginners and experienced players.

Train Sim World 2020 is available now – here’s what you’ll find inside:

  • Over 24 hours of curated gameplay for each Train Sim World 2020 route via the new ‘Journey’ system. Combining tutorials, scenarios and timetabled services, this will help guide you from mission to mission so you can build up your skills.

  • The brand new scoring system gives you new ways to boost your skills – how far did you miss the platform by, how late were you at each stop, how did speeding impact your final score. Full details are now visible in-game or on the post-mission debrief screen so you can constantly sharpen your skills.

  • More to explore as the routes are refreshed! Train Sim World 2020 includes hundreds of services and scenarios with a wide range of freight and commuter objectives across four incredible routes – the Main Spessart Bahn, Northern Trans-Pennine, Long Island Rail Road and the Great Western Express.

  • The Digital Deluxe Edition also includes the brand new Peninsula Corridor route, running Caltrain services from San Jose to San Francisco!

Train Sim World 2020 includes three of the best routes from the UK, US and Germany. The Main Spessart Bahn runs through industrial German countryside, featuring 3 drivable engines and brand new banking operations. If you’re after some metropolitan hustle, the Long Island Rail Road is built for people who enjoy navigating busy stretches of track, including America’s largest rail junction at Jamaica Station. For those who miss the way things were, take a trip back to the 1980s along the Northern Trans-Pennine, a tricky route that captures the UK’s industrial heartland at a time when modern safety and signaling systems simply did not exist.

New players can pick up Train Sim World 2020 or the Digital Deluxe Edition on PC, Xbox or PlayStation 4 and enjoy all our new features. Existing players receive Train Sim Worlds feature update for free and if they don’t already own Main Spessart Bahn, Northern Trans-Pennine or Long Island Rail Road they can expand their collection by purchasing from the in-game store, where a wide range of additional routes and locos are also available.

The Digital Deluxe Edition will also include the brand new Peninsula Corridor route, putting players in the cab of Caltrain services stretching from San Francisco to San Jose with authentic freight and passenger operations. This route is also available to purchase separately.

Universal City, CA, Orlando, Fla., August 14, 2019 – Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort take guests on a relentless tour through multi-platinum recording artist and filmmaker Rob Zombie’s twisted “House of 1000 Corpses,” inspired by Lionsgate’s 2003 cult classic horror film, as part of this year’s “Halloween Horror Nights” event, beginning in September.

The terrifying “House of 1000 Corpses” mazes bring to life the movie’s offbeat roadside tourist attraction, Captain Spaulding’s Museum of Monsters and Madmen, and introduces guests to some of the country’s most infamous serial killers, including Dr. Satan, a demented surgeon who has gone mad.

Without a moment to catch their breath, guests will venture to the chaotic home of the Firefly family, a sadistic clan of psychotic killers, where the psychosis deepens and the depraved thrive. It is a chilling journey into the netherworld of terror that weaves its way through a cavernous network of dark tunnels within the bowels of the house. Populated by the degenerate victims of Dr. Satan’s debauched operations, legions of tortured creatures shuffle about as Dr. Satan continues his twisted medical practice, eagerly awaiting a new installment of victims.

Universal Studios’ “Halloween Horror Nights” is the ultimate Halloween event. For more than 25 years, guests from around the world have visited “Halloween Horror Nights” to become victims inside their own horror film. Multiple movie-quality mazes based on iconic horror movies, television shows and original stories come to life season after season. The terror bleeds to the streets of the parks with highly-themed scare zones, littered with menacing scare-actors lunging from every darkened corner to torment, terrify and scare “Halloween Horror Nights” guests.

“Halloween Horror Nights” begins Friday, September 6 in Orlando and on Friday, September 13 in Hollywood. Additional details about the events will be revealed soon. Tickets for “Halloween Horror Nights” at Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort are on sale now. Visit www.HalloweenHorrorNights.com for more information and to purchase tickets.

Set above The Great Ursee, prospective players can take their armed aerial mounts in third person to the skies as a Falconeer, an airborne warrior equipped with devastating ranged weaponry, to explore a bleak and hauntingly beautiful world, filled with wonderous locations and warmongering rival factions vying for the mysterious secrets hidden at the Ursee’s unfathomable depths.

Daymare: 1998 Meet Sam Story Trailer

Geek News, News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News

August 14, 2019 – Daymare: 1998 recreates the atmosphere of the most beloved works from the end of the millennium and places you in the middle of a familiar yet fresh story. The plot unfolds through the eyes of multiple characters, putting players in the shoes of different personalities that will guide them through their theories and doubts about the situation. Thanks to backtracking, ammo management, collectible lore items, environmental puzzles, and the overall level of difficulty, players can rewind a couple of decades to where, in their first real daymare, they will be chilled to the bone.

The nightmare lives in the Release Date Announcement Trailer of Daymare: 1998. Check it out here and meet Sam, the second of three main characters in the game.

Unlike Liev, who was introduced in the previous trailer, Sam is what you’d call “a regular guy”. He likes his neighbors and has no personal aspirations to attain riches or fame. But he is reliable and does what needs to be done. Sam’s also a respected citizen of Keen Sight, partially a result of his job as Forest Ranger. Although, there is a limit to how much credit you can take for staring off into the horizon and strolling through the woods to make sure the trees are still standing.

Nevertheless, Sam’s a loving husband who adores his wife. If it weren’t for his condition and his need to manage it with pills, he’d probably be the happiest guy on Earth. But that isn’t what he was meant to be. Not after he crosses paths with H.A.D.E.S. Sam was meant for something more. Not for himself, not even for the woman he loves, but for the whole city of Keen Sight.

Invader Studios, Destructive Creations and All in! Games are three partners in crime that have the horrifying pleasure of bringing Daymare: 1998 to your PCs. Take a look at the FREE, all-new demo on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/842100/Daymare_1998/) and catch a glimpse of what’s lurking in a seemingly inconspicuous little town, overrun by terrifying creatures that once inhabited the area as ordinary people.

Players join the conflict as it erupts in Halaster Blackcloak’s domain, drawing his malice. Along this path to a wild and explosive battle of wills against the Mad Mage, players explore deeper into Undermountain than before, leading to a magic portal that transports adventurers to the gith base of Stardock on asteroid above Toril.
