Quoting: KelsHmm, looking at the Steam forum for the game, they haven't even considered a FoV control, which these days is no-brainer stuff for a first-person game. Given how many people complain of motion sickness on PC games with low FoV (myself included) this is the sort of thing designers should really stay on top of. But from their priority list as of June 13, they don't even seem to be aware that it's a consideration.

Just as well I read that before I watched much of the video. Close call.

yes.. that default what looks to be 60-70 somewhere between... is just awful and i get motion sickness even by watching the video in fullscreen.

War Thunder MMO Coming To Linux

i have played that game quite a while with wine.
it has opengl rendering so it runs pretty good.. but native would be perfect really.
i love it more than star conflict, because of having both air and land combat at the same time.. epic battles.

Quoting: The wooden couch tableI really wonder what is so new about such a product ?

I build myself and my colleague a small wooden table (80x30 cm) with four metal feets (about 30 cm high) which enables us to play games with an ordinary mouse / keyboard on our HTPCs.

Depending on the material you choose this costs you around 20€. Pretty hard to beat IMO....

yes but where can we get a super precise wireless keyboards and mice?
there are not so many options in that area...
