PC Gaming

You've got a friend in PC—MSI has announced a new collection of Toy Story-themed PC components, sold as a complete prebuilt PC, bringing Pixar's first family to the gaming battle station. From the graphics card to the motherboard's CMOS battery, the DIY PC is plastered in Toy Story branding and will be available only in Taiwan for a very limited time.

The MAG PANO Toy Story Edition PC bundle includes Toy Story versions of the MSI PANO 110R case, RTX 5070 Gaming Trio GPU, Z890 Gaming Plus motherboard, 850W MAG A850GL power supply, and MAG CORELIQUID AIO cooler. The bundle also includes the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K, 32GB of Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 RAM, and MSI's Spatium M450 1TB SSD to complete the PC, though these lack the Toy Story livery.

Each of the five branded components is themed around a different major Toy Story character or object from the first two movies. The Woody-themed Z890 Gaming Plus motherboard is covered in heatsinks in Woody's trademark yellow and cow-print colors, plus Lenny the binoculars hiding out on the CMOS battery. The little green aliens of Pizza Planet make their appearance on the AIO cooler, bringing green, blue, and purple RGB lighting effects to the computer.

The donations are tied to GOG's Preservation Program, which aims to keep old games running on new hardware even when they're no longer supported by their original developers

It's been about 1 year since v3.0 let you pet the dogs and other animals. Here are some of the biggest things we've added since then.

• Many new game modes:
  • Halloween mode, WaltonWare Halloween, and other varieties - adds zombies, limited saves, and Mr. H who is a big invincible guy that roams the map and tries to smack you.
  • Mr. Page's Mean Bingo Machine - A new mode where you play through the whole game, but must complete a bingo line before being allowed to progress to the next mission. Once you get to the next mission, you are given a new bingo board!
  • Zero Rando Plus - like "Zero Rando" (no randomization, very vanilla) but Plus more quality of life additions and balance tweaks.
  • Speedrun Training mode - shows where possible goal locations are without spoiling them.
  • We split off the old "Normal Randomizer" mode into "Full Randomizer", with the new "Normal Randomizer" being a more welcoming game mode to learn the Randomizer.
  • Strong Augs mode - increases the strength of augmentations.
  • One Item Mode - Our new dumbest game mode! All items in a map will be replaced with a single type of item (eg. all flares, all biocells, or all beers)

• Many new loadouts and augmentations:
  • The default "All Items Allowed" loadout now starts with the new inferior "Running Enhancement" instead of the old "Speed Enhancement". Choose the "Speed Enhancement" loadout if you want to start with that like before.
  • The Three Leg Augs loadout - Allows Running Enhancement, Jump Enhancement, and Run Silent. You start with one of them. Enables aug slot rando by default.
  • My Vision Is Augmented loadout - Allows Vision Enhancement, Short-Range Vision Enhancement, InfraVision, and Motion Sensor. You start with one of them. Enables aug slot rando by default.
  • Random Starting Aug (instead of Running Enhancement)
  • And more!

• Lots of balance changes
  • Allowing even more variety of play styles, especially with augmentations.
  • Balance changes are also now toggleable in the options. Disabled by default for Zero Rando, but most are enabled by default for Zero Rando Plus.
• More goals rando, especially for Gordon Quick, and Area 51.
• New augmentation slot randomization feature (so speed can be an eye aug)
• Multiple, rotating quicksave slots
• New menu to change current in-game settings
• Many new bingo goals and improvements to our bingo game modes!
• Deus Ex: Revision support is massively improved as a whole

• We're doing a speedrun marathon on Sunday for Deus Ex's 25th Anniversary! (June 22nd)
  • All of the Deus Ex games are here, including some runs of the Randomizer
  • Stream: https://twitch.tv/sumofbesties
  • Schedule: https://oengus.io/marathon/dx25/schedule/dx25
• Our speedrun leaderboard was created about a year ago: https://www.speedrun.com/dxrando (we split the leaderboard for a couple of big updates that changed the run a lot)
• We did 3 amazing speedrun races: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZIQTa_kwZhDZjz905W-hpORQ4S1Rj3a6

It also seems as though plans for a sequel to Baldur’s Gate 3 are in the early stages already. Speaking to PC Gamer, Eugene Evans, the senior vice president of digital strategy and licensing for WotC and Hasbro, said the company has already started conversations about what the next Baldur’s Gate game will look like and how it’ll be made. “We’re now talking to lots of partners and being approached by a lot of partners who are embracing the challenge of, what does the future of the Baldur’s Gate franchise look like?” he said.
