In a rare event that has galvanised skywatchers and sent them scooting for their telescopes and binoculars in order to cacth more than just a glimpse of a new comet that has just appeared. In fact, people all over the world are taking amazing pictures of Comet Nishimura as it travels through space. This comet was sighted for the first time in August, 2023 by a sky-watcher named Hideo Nishimura from Kakegawa City, Japan. He used a regular camera with a special lens to spot it. Finding a comet like this with a regular camera is a big deal because most new comets are discovered with fancy telescopes. This comet is especially important because a strange interaction with a solar storm was spotted.
Frontier's Warhammer Age Of Sigmar: Realms Of Ruin RTS hits PC on November 17th
22.08.2023 - 21:15 / rockpapershotgun.com
Mark your calendars for November 17th, strategy fans, as that's when Warhammer Age Of Sigmar: Realms Of Ruin is heading to PC - the same day as Atlus' Persona 5 Tactica, don't you know? Announced at tonight's Gamescom Opening Night Live show, Frontier Developments also showed off the game's new single-player Conquest mode, a procedurally generated series of challenges that will pit players against increasingly unpredictable combat scenarios, as well as its third playable faction: the wraith-like Nighthaunt. They'll be going up against the Stormcast Eternals alongside the Orruk Kruleboyz in the game's campaign, and I got to see them in action ahead of tonight's showcase. And I can confirm: they're a nasty bunch of spectral rags, this lot, especially when they pile on in large numbers.
The Nighthaunt are quite a different prospect from the Orruks, preferring to attack en masse in big ghosty gangs. Frontier have confirmed you'll be able to command Chainrasps, Myrmourn Banshees, Grimghast Reapers, Hexwraiths, the Mourngul and more in multiplayer, including the skeletal ferryman himself Awlrach The Drowner (that chap in the header image). Awlrach, alas, didn't make an appearance during my campaign preview, but I did have to fend off hordes of the aforementioned Chainrasps, Grimghast Reapers and Craventhrone Guards during the mission.
They come pouring out of the ether when the Stormcast Eternals attempt to remove a special artefact from an altar, an artefact the Stormcast believe will help them repel the Orruks from their ailing fortress home, but which the Nighthaunt would rather keep for themselves. The main objective in this mission is to defend your priest Demechrios as he attempts to break the giant chains that have sealed the artefact away, all while capturing and controlling three chain pedestal points to aid his purification rites. With your focus split between different areas of the map, this frantic 'hold the line' mission was great fun, especially as it let you get to grips a bit more with the processes of upgrading your economy.
As in multiplayer, you'll need to capture conduit points on each campaign map to keep your army fed with units, and keep your two main currencies topped up (Realmstones and Command points). Losing these conduits can put a serious halt to your production line, so you'll need to keep these defended as well, either with troops stationed nearby, or by building certain bastions on them, which the enemy forces will also need to destroy before they can claim these points for their own.
With so many points to defend and capture during this mission, dividing up your army is key here, and I found it quite thrilling to always have my attention being pulled in different

Adam Savage is probably having more fun with Starfield than you are

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin's Campaign Could Be a Modern Relic | gamescom 2023
It’s been a pretty great gamescom for Warhammer. A full showing of Space Marine 2 finally charged into the fray, Darktide got a long-awaited console release date, and Rogue Trader showed off its retinue of fantastic companion characters. But perhaps the most interesting Warhammer showing at the convention was Realms of Ruin, the strategy game set in Games Workshop’s lesser-explored Age of Sigmar fantasy universe. After an hour of hands-on time with its single-player, I’ve found myself excited by the prospect of a game that finally continues and potentially advances the legacy of the great Dawn of War cinematic campaigns.

Warframe's next updates include a secret Necralisk lab, grimoires, and a Headless Horseman homage
Greetings, Tenno! This message comes to you from that primeval epoch known as "Last Wednesday", when Digital Extremes treated RPS to a preview screening of the Warframe update announcements planned for this year's Tennocon - a special Tennocon indeed, coinciding as it does with the game's 10th anniversary and the studio's 30th. Alas, "Last Wednesday" was a regular Dark Age, and we dusty ancients were granted only a partial glimpse of the promised new areas, weapons, cosmetics and story content, Digital Extremes having reserved some of the key reveals for a happier period, "Today" - which, according to our most trusted seers, will be an era of understanding and transparency. Fickle are the winds of history! Still, even with the limited insight of our time, we grasped at some sense of the offering's magnitude. Read on, if you dare.
