Introducing AscIGN™ (april fools)

AscIGN™, formerly Ascian Gaming Community, is proud to announce AscIGN™, an amazing and long-planned partnership with IGN!
This means that we will be able to bring you the best DLC offers, latest Facebook updates and a chance to read IGN's amazing reviews directly through the AscIGN.eu portal!
This unfortunately means that we will be dropping Steam as a platform in favor of WiiLive and Origin by EA™, but we hope that that this coupon for 0.001% off the next Call of Duty Game (Call of Duty Four Four, given 11/10 by IGN, even before release!!!) will make it up!
Along with dropping Steam, we are also dropping Skype and hope that you will be pleased with our Premium VIP chat service, AssChat. To make up for the more advanced features and server costs, you will have to hand out a heavily discounted $150 per week* (special offer only applies to existing customers).
The Premium VIP will also grant access to our Halo and Call of Duty servers, unless they are down for maintenance or full.

To celebrate this amazIGN announcement, do reminiscence with this video from our humble beginnings:

Happy gaming!

Pretty steamy: Skyrim Creative Kit is out

The Creation Kit just got released. Visit  http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse?appid=72850 to browse for mods (although there don't really seem to be any up as of right now).

To install it, just restart steam, go to tools and find "Creative Kit". There are some nice tutorials over here to get  you started.

Now get going! I want to see Dwarf Fortress remade in the Skyrim engine NAO!

Update: Oh, and it seems like the surprise was a High Res texture pack, as was already guessed/known. I must say I'm impressed!

The 99% Bundle

So, I should have posted about this a long time ago (days, even), but somehow it slipped my mind. We are being drowned by pay-what-you-want DRM-free indie bundles. But this one is a bit different. It's pay NOTHING for 13 games. Or you could pay for it if you wanted to, and that would make you a very kind and generous soul. Grab it now.
