Whoa, I must say it's a great surprise! I really enjoyed the first one (don't remember if it was before or after I discovered SOTN). GREAT news even if it really looks like the 1st.

Feel the need for a little karaoke? Check out UltraStar Play and UltraStar Deluxe

This seems awesome ! Thanks Liam for sharing fantastic projects such as these. And I find that allowing to use one's smartphone instead of a mic is really a plus: I love it when ingenuity allows to prevent buying yet another device.
Regarding content, because I can imagine that to use karaoké software you need songs and text contained in specific file format: where can you download content ? Any advice ?

As someone who dev with Java for a living and ship a Java software, I can understand you encountered many shitty programs in Java. It may not be the best language for gamedev (but ask Mojang/Minecraft if he could be multimillionaire without Java !)
But I can assure you the Java language and most importantly the JVM is a pure engineering jewel, reliable and tailored for high performance.

Mike Shapiro drops a cryptic message from G-Man for the upcoming Half-Life: Alyx

Alyx is the best thing that could be for VR... But I still doubt VR will be successful. At least, I am not into it. I really really really fear VR for gaming is like 3D for TV. Something that geek will like but very few users will really adopt.
And for 3D you only had light glasses ! For VR you have a whole headset !!! No, still not convinced and I will avoid it...
Maybe future will prove me wrong ;)

Quoting: scaineVery tempted to make my second ever Steam Play purchase with A Plague Tale: Innocence. Still really uncertain about spending any money on a windows title though. Will probably hold off - still have plenty of native games to try out.
Same here for me ! "A Plague Tale: Innocence" looks awesome :D

My kids really loved the Pajama Sam (episodes 1-2-3) adventures 3 years ago when I played wit them. They were aged 3 and 5 at the time. If it can help some geeky dads ;)
