Team Fortress 2 poster mistaken for US propaganda on Russian TV

Half-Life 2 coming to NVIDIA Shield!
This morning Android Police editor David Ruddock received a package in the mail. It contained this: “What Would Gordon Do?” and NVIDIA’s SHIELD logo, along with NVIDIA’s signature green color, makes this a not-so-subtle indication that the game is coming to the Android-powered SHIELD at some point.

Steam: Valve removed a shitty game from Steam
The author of this piece of garbage removed people’s opinions from the game forum on Steam and even worse he changed their bad ones into good ones (edited them). Just take a look at this preview of that game Earth: Year 2066. Greenlight is a good program on Steam but they need to control it…
