Epic Games Store is back with yet another free game to enjoy over the weekend, this time round gamers can test their luck on Mars.

This game is of course Paradox Entertainments city-builder Surviving Mars, and while the title might be a bit self-explanatory lets jump into what players can do. Just like most city-builder titles, players will be required to survive the environment they are placed in, but this time round they are on the baron wasteland planet Mars.

Players will need to develop strategies to supply oxygen, food, technology, infrastructure, mineral research and everything else in-between to keep their colonists alive. There is numerous problems that players will have to deal with as well, an example of a quite humorous one is if your lead scientists manages to create alcohol and develops alcoholism after too many hard days in the lab. If you are a city-builder type gamer or enjoy the likes of building your own colony on Mars, head over to the Epic Games Store and download the game for free. A link can be found here.

If you are close to marrying your partner in Stardew Valley, perhaps you have noticed that there isn't that much to do after that. Update 1.4 fixes this issue and adds content for post-marriage.

According to Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone, update 1.4 adds some more depth to post-marriage life for Stardew Valley players and according to his statement he knows there will always be more than be done. Barone spoke to USG and said "The new 1.4 update does add some depth to post-marriage life... some additions that I'm proud of and I hope are very heartwarming for players... but I know there will always be more that can be done."

He continued and said "I've been unofficially calling 1.4 the 'everything' update because it touches pretty much every aspect of the game in some way or another. One of my major goals was to add in a lot of quality of life features that make the game more convenient and effortless to play." Barone also mentioned that Patch 1.3 which is targetted at bringing multiplayer to consoles is on the verge of being ready.

The notoriously difficult FromSoftware titles no doubt fill a special spot in hearts of many gamers, but which is your favorite? and do you agree with the games director?

Each of FromSoftware's titles pack their own great features respectively, but if I was to ask you which is your favorite, if you only had to select one, what would you choose? 2009's Demon Souls? Or how about 2011's Dark Souls, or perhaps 2015's sequel, Dark Souls 2? Or are you more of a modern souls gamer and prefer 2016's Dark Souls 3? Bloodborne is also in the mix and then there is also the recently released Seikro: Shadows Die Twice, which gives a different taste than the other previously mentioned titles.

While this question might be extremely hard to answer for a FromSoftware fan, I would imagine it would be even harder for FromSoftware game director Hidetaka Miyazaki. In a recent interview with GameSpot Brasil, Miyazaki did choose a title and the title of Miyazaki's favorite game-child has been awarded to Bloodborne. Is this what you chose?

NASA Administrator, Jim Bridenstine and SpaceX founder Elon Musk have addressed the public in a recently concluded Q&A session at SpaceX's HQ.

The Q&A was held at the SpaceX HQ in California where NASA Administrator, Jim Bridenstine and SpaceX founder Elon Musk stood next two two astronauts and answered some questions regarding their upcoming mission plans. While the talk was quite lengthy, Musk and Bridenstine were asked about the upcoming Crew Dragon project, and according to the administrator after some more testing the first crewed "Demo-2" test flight could launch as early as Q1 of 2020.

Musk also touched on the subject and said that drop tests are about to commence and SpaceX's team will be evaluating its "Mark 3" parachute design. The "Mark 3" design has replaced what was once nylon cords with much stronger "xylon" material.

Everyday we are moving one step more closer to unlocking the mystery behind quantum computing and the benefits it can provide the human race. Today is yet again another one of those days.

According to researchers out of the The Johns Hopkins University, a newly discovered superconducting material has been found to have the "properties that could be the building blocks for technology of the future." Quantum computing is the most complicated computing humans are currently working on, and if you have a general grasp of how normal computers work then you should be able to appreciate the complexity of any quantum progression.

Normal bits that are present in all traditional computers use 0 or 1 to represent an electrical voltage pulse to store information. Quantum computers which are based on the laws of quantum mechanics use quantum bits or better known as qubits. These qubits exist in both the 0 state and the 1 state, but also both states at the same time. This is called a superposition, perhaps you have heard of the famous qubit example called Schrodinger's cat?

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has stepped out of the shadows and has called for the world's biggest carbon polluters to be taxed a fixed amount for their carbon emissions.

According to the IMF, the world's biggest carbon polluting nations should all agree on a worldwide tax that prices carbon emissions at $75 per ton. The IMF also says that this tax should be in place for the next 10 years to ensure the survival of the planet and to keep climate change at safe levels.

A report was released ahead of next week's annual meetings of the IMF and World Bank. In this report the IMF acknowledges that increase of pricing for carbon emissions from the current global average cost of $2 to $75 by 2030 could have catastrophic market effects. The report says that could prices would more than triple, electricity pricing could increase by 30% in Canada and Australia and gasoline prices could be raised anywhere between 5 and 15%.

Twitch is predominately a streaming platform where you will find gamers sharing their experience in video games. Well, now you can also find President Trump as he now has his own Twitch account.

President Trump has recently jumped onto Twitch and created his own account, and at the time of writing this he currently has 17,000 followers. While you might originally think that you are going to be catching Trump sitting down and playing some rounds of Fortnite or Apex Legends, the channel is actually dedicated to promoting his rallies in different locations.

At the moment Trump is streaming his rally in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and if you happen to miss it you can watch the full video on his channel just like every other streamer.

I don't know what is worse... the beyond-horrible CGI in the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog movie, or this new Halloween mask that is pure nightmare fuel.

The creepy Sonic mask was first noticed by ShaneWatch on Twitter, with GameSpot picking it up and once I saw it, I couldn't unsee it. You can grab the "novelty sonic hedgehog mask for adult" for $49 on Amazon, and if you're an Amazon Prime member you can get it with free one-day shipping.

The only way to get it faster would be for Sonic himself to deliver it! You can buy the mask right now and wear it to the new release date on the Sonic the Hedgehog movie, which is February 14, 2020. So tell your significant other and knuckle down to the cinemas with your Sonic mask, but don't blame us when/if you're arrested for freaking people out.
