Steam/Valve Confirms The End Of The World
This is real.
Steam announced that they will offer refunds, starting now.
Anyway, refunds will be possible “for nearly any purchase on Steam – for any reson”. You just have to go to help.steampowered.com and request one. There is one thing you have to keep in mind though: It will only work within the first 14 days of purchase and only if you’ve played it less than 2 hours. This includes DLC, but beware: make sure to keep a save game from before the purchase, otherwise you might run into the issue, that your save will no longer be compatible once you’ve requested the refund.
In-game purchases are also on the list, but only guaranteed on Valve-developed games within 48 hours of purchase.
There are a couple more rules on this, so go to the Steam help page for more information. Hurry up though! Rumor has it, that there is already blood raining from the sky in Antarctica.

Nvidia and AMD in Each Others’ Hair
Perhaps these features would never have made it in if it weren't from help from the hardware developer, but this situation unfortunately results in a fragmentation of the end user experience.
High end graphics cards are expensive, so it would be difficult to justify buying both an AMD and Nvidia GPU to have the optimal experience at any given time. As a PC gamer, what do you make of this situation?

Rumour: Armello [And Other Games] Potentially Coming To GOG? [Update! Rumour confirmed]
While browsing through the GOG releases from the past few years, I stumbled across – hidden way deep down in the bowels of pages and pages of games – potential listings for Armello, Nekro, Starcrawlers, World of Magic and Satellite Reign.
For a little more information about each of the games and what might be going on with regards to their potential release to the GOG store, feel free to head past the break.
Nekro seems like a strategy/rpg hybrid in the vein of games like Sacrifice, Overlord and Dungeon Keeper where you use a necromancer to summon vile demons to aid your cause in taking over everything and everyone that stands in your path.
Nekro released to early access on 2 May, 2014
Satellite Reign looks to be a modernized, more colourful version of Syndicate. In Satellite Reign you take a handful of soldiers and let them loose on a cyberpunk-influenced world.
Satellite Reign has no release date attached to it but went into Early Access on 11 December, 2014.
Starcrawlers is a Legend of Grimrock in space. It is essentially a turn-based role playing game in which you play a collection of Crawlers [folks who take jobs for fame, fortune and the like] who roam around the galaxy.
Starcrawlers released into early access on 17 March, 2015
Worlds of Magic is essentially Master of Magic for modern machines. This means that it is a fantasy-styled 4x game that is turn-based. In Worlds of Magic, you create a hero from a faction who attempts to control the land via spellcraft, diplomacy or pure force.
Worlds of Magic released to Steam on 19 March, 2015
Armello is a dark, turn-based fantasy-themed board game that has card-game and strategy elements. It utilizes a Studio Ghibli approach to its visuals, which are quite charming. Each of the factions you can play is an anthropomorphic animal of some sort.
Armello released into early access on 22 January, 2015
One of the potential reasons none of these are out on Gog yet is that they are all in Early Access [except for Worlds of Magic] and have yet to move into 1.0/release status. Gog generally doesn’t tend to sell games that are still in a beta of some persuasion.
Update! Armello is confirmed
for a GOG release at some stage.

Humble Sale Day 13
On the Telltale side you can go for pretty much everything besides Jurassic Park, Nordic offers Darksiders 1&2 for -80%, Red Faction Guerrilla for -75% and if you are into click and point adventure games Unwritten Tales for -80%, and Focus has the enjoyable, but rough Sherlock Holmes games on sale (-50/75%).
Proteus -80%
Not much of a game, but great for relaxation. Stroll through a beautiful and mysterious pixel-art world, not much else to say, not much else to do. Still a nice experience though.
OlliOlli -75%
Think Tony Hawks Pro Skater in 2D with 1 life per run. If you already own the sequel, you can skip this one, but if not: go for it.
Botanicula -80%
A highly creative and fun point and click, with an amazing soundtrack. Most puzzles are weird and might require some thinking outside the box, but far from impossible. Great game and really cheap.
Freedom Planet -63%
Disclaimer: I’ve never actually played this myself, but word on the “street” is, that this is the best classic Sonic game available. Probably will buy it myself.
Home -77%
Can a horror game work in 2D? Home proves: yes, it can. The atmosphere is so thick, you couldn’t even slice it (you know, because it’s so thick it’s hard? Does that make any sense?). Most of it comes from the superb sound design, so make sure to play it with headphones. It’s dirt cheap, so if you like horror games, give this one a try.
Little Inferno -72%
One of my favorite games ever. Again not much of a game, because all you do for the most part is burn stuff, but the deeper message in it and how it’s delivered is great. It’s a very unique experience, calming and smart at the same time.
