DICE Starting "The Next Battlefield"

DICE design director Dan Vaderlind tweets that now that Star Wars Battlefront has shipped, he is moving on to his next project. It should probably not be a shock that this will be "the next Battlefield," so the only question remaining is whether this will be Battlefield Bad Company 3, Battlefield 5, Battlefield Hardline 2, or The Sims: Battlefield. Word is: "Now that we've shipped Battlefront and a part of the team continues to work on it, I am moving on to another project, the next Battlefield.." On a related note, EA's recent announcement of a new "Competitive Gaming Division" included word that they hope to bring Battlefield to the global esports community. Thanks PCGamesN.

Out of the Blue

I started getting an odd intermittent behavior from the "home" key on my keyboard, which would occasionally behave like I pressed the "page up" key (yes, I'm one of those who uses that little six-key array over the arrow keys). I tend to be hard on keyboards, so I was prepared for the possibility I'd destroyed another one, but the good news is that on modern keyboards the keys are easier than ever to pry off, and a little investigation showed the home and page up keys were somewhat stuck together with some gunk (I told you I am tough on keyboards), and it took about a minute to clean out and get things working perfectly again. It's rare for things to get easier to fix as they get modernized, so that was pretty cool.
