Minimur, WTH Happened This Week? Theme Hospital Free, PC to Xbox Streaming, And The Order: 1886 Goes Gold!
Hey there! how’s your week been? Well, that’s nice.Interested in what’s happening in this weeks news of gaming? Right: News on the objective in No Mans Sky, a nice bit of news for PS Plus owners, and Square Enix’s first collective project is on Kickstarter!
The infamous fat princess, is back! aren’t you excited? I sure am, well, in anticipation for our excited-ness, let’s take a look at an upcoming Vita game that has the fat princess name on it but has nothing to do with the new game, it’s such an original concept, too!
The description for it is ‘three-match puzzler’
When I first saw this on the blog, I simply thought what all would probably think – just another 3 match bejeweled spin-off, well, you’re right on the first part and I even had a joke lined up on here, but then I tried the game for myself on my Android phone- Any One Plus brothers out there? (also available for Vita and iOS) and it’s actually pretty impressive; each symbol has a purpose, whether it be attack with a sword, musket, bomb, or heal – match three of these and you will be able to attack the opponent/heal your teammates with them. But I’m really impressed for such a take on a simple game, I’ll actually be playing this one!

Much like the PS3 had terrible themes, the influx of PS4 ones have now started in an effort for people to get a quick cash grab, does anyone remember the meme theme for PS3? I was stupid enough to buy that.
With an addition of 35~ ps4 themes to the store, all of each costing around $3, and most of which stupid. I don’t really see the point in doing such a thing, take a look at these photos from the online store:
It seems like our buddy Virtual burger has been hard at work….. looking through his past images and putting them as a background, then changing the colour of the highlight area! (I Wish we could make our own themes)
Thankfully, they haven’t hit the EU store yet, but it’s only a matter of time…
Although, I will have to give a couple credit before I blow them all off as stupid;
There’s virtual aquarium dynamic theme
There are a few other environment dynamic ones – Sharks too, but I haven’t experienced what they’re actually like so I can’t judge them, I’m just giving my opinion on what they look like from the 1 picture they supply.

Ever since they introduced it everyone, including myself have been wondering, what do you actually do in No Mans Sky? Do you just explore then go to the next planet? Well we found out via Eurogamer the other day! Here’s what we learnt, for a full and better explaination however, go to the link below because it’s a pretty beefy reply:
You work your way inwards from the outer of the galaxy inwards, trading, mining, shooting, exploring – upgrading yourself, your weapon and ship on the way to the centre. collecting money (Units) on the way to provide for your upgrades, there’s nothing to say that you can’t just jump around the outer edge of the galaxy to keep alive and explore that area, however.
So overall, if I could sum it up into a category, which seems pretty tough, it’s more of a ‘sandbox’ space survival action exploration game……. Which sounds pretty fun to be honest, this game hasnt’ gotten my full attention just yet, but I am keeping my eye on it!
Here’s a bit of nice news, The Order: 1886 has gone gold! Coupled along with this announcement was a story trailer which looks quite nice, the trailer was good, as it showed some areas we were familiar with, yet showed the cutscene that was in that area, in any case, the trsiler is worth a watch, but is extremely gory so if you can stomach a bit of fake gore, go right ahead, I’m not your mama:
Sony’s own tv show, Powers, the show that they rambled on for AGES at their E3 last year, is debuting on March 10th, with a slice of good news for us PS Plus members; it’ll be free! Also, the first episode will be free to anyone with a PSN account, and the series will span 10 episodes.
Everyone remembers Theme Hospital, right? the awesome game that is just amazing, well turns out that Origin are offering it free with their ‘on the house’ programme – only downside being, you have to download origin!
Jokes aside, the game is awesome, I’m not sure if I hold it in such high regard due to it’s nostalgic effect on me but still, it’s free! give it a go! (The PS1 version is terrible, PC controllers are much better for this game)
This game is pretty interesting, if you remember a while ago Square Enix launched a collective to help publish ‘indie’ games, this game is one of them, it’s now on kickstarter for funding and at the moment, has got $9,546, with a $30k goal and another 24 days – it’s entirely possible.
Here’s their kickstarter video:
With the recent announcement of Microsoft making the awesome idea, where they got it from I have no idea: Xbox to PC streaming for windows 10 devices, they are also investigating PC to Xbox. Making PC games playable on your Xbox, this seems like a pretty good idea. but I can bet that it won’t happen.
Why?
PC games are cheaper, meaning less money, if everyone makes use of this feature and only buys PC games from then onwards, it would mean less Xbox games bought. Anyway, it would be nice, but I don’t see it happening, this isn’t me hating on Xbox, it’s just me giving my view as I wouldn’t implement it if it was my console
Was there a windows 9?

I really enjoyed this on my flight to America, seems I’m not the only one!
great article like the two pics at the last
Seems like there is not that much anymore with the PS Vita 3.18 possible Exploit that was discussed a while back.
That’s right. There isn’t. I hate how everyone just posts begging for Vita hacks instead of appreciating the other posts on this site…
not news psvita 3.18. i ufffff… 🙁 waiting for new info… my vita is boring, not online. and mk9 online is dead… :-(. “i´m in waiting”
About the streaming to windows 10 devices, is not that bad idea… you will be able to stream to other windows 10 devices like phones/tablets if the streaming capability is in the form of a universal app. Furthermore not everyone have a hardcore gaming pc. Lots of friends have ultrabooks to do their basic work on the go. You will perfectly play your games from your lap when someone else needs the tv for example.
You can record your gameplay directly on your pc for additional edit.
Also, every console has streaming capabilities wiiU*, ps3, ps4. You have no reason to leave your console without streaming.
And so many other pros…anyway, good article 🙂
Wasn’t Windows 8.1 counted as Windows 9? If so, then it’stupid in my opinion.
Windows 9 had a script bug that made everything think the OS was Windows 98. That’s really why they went directly to 10.
austin powers coming to europe ?.?
Every other version of Windows is good: XP was good, Vista sucked, Win7 was great, Win8 suuuucked, Windows 9 would probably have been great, but Microsoft, being the geniuses they are (remember the Xbox One release), skipped it and are now going to give us Windows 10…
Why are they calling it Windows 10 and missing the opportunity to use the Roman numeral and call it Windows X? Oh, wait, Apple already did that… (Mac OS X… seems they are keeping it on version 10 and not updating it to XI or XII…(that would be cool))
think of the 10 as an X in ur face urself lol
The whole point of KS is to break free of publishers like Square Enix >_>.
about win2xbox: microsoft is losing market (desktop and mobile and they’re not winning on concole) and slowly directing towards offering services instead of SW and the like. With such a move they are probably triyng to retain the users from moving on other solutions
( btw steam ftw 😀 )
sorry for bad english xD
hey there and thank you for your info – I have certainly picked up something
new from right here. I did however expertise several technical points using this site, as I experienced to reload the web
site many times previous to I could get it to load properly.
I had been wondering if your hosting is OK?
Not that I am complaining, but slow loading instances times will sometimes affect your placement in google and
could damage your high quality score if ads and marketing with Adwords.
Anyway I am adding this RSS to my email and can look out for much more of your respective interesting content.
Ensure that you update this again very soon.
