A video from Eurogamer includes an interview with Civilization VI lead designer Ed Beach, along with about 18 minutes of gameplay footage from the upcoming continuation of Sid Meier's beloved series. Along the way they take a deep dive into some of the game's strategy elements. They have also posted the E3 presentation for Civilization VI, offering over 12 minutes of gameplay, and going the whole lead designer thing one better by providing narration from none other that Sean Bean. Spoiler alert, he somehow manages to survive to the end: Continue here to read the full story.

Eurogamer has also posted this video from E3 showing off Shadow Warrior 2, the upcoming sequel to the ninja shooter reboot. The clip shows off gameplay, including co-op; new monsters and weapons; and, of course, quests for gigantic demon dongs. Continue here to read the full story.

Unknown Worlds has been quite busy updating Natural Selection 2, saying their strategy shooter sequel has received a new patch almost every week for the past six months. That's a lot to keep up with, so to more easily communicate all these changes to the audience, they have created a video recap to sum everything up in 63 seconds, just a bit longer than it takes Nicolas Cage to steal a car.

Decided to see the doctor again yesterday, and he drew more blood for more testing and some retesting. I think I'm feeling better in general, though a couple of my joint aches are really bothering me today, so I'm still mystified by what's going on. On the subject of those joint pains, a few have suggested computer related RSI, which is not what this is, unless I managed to provoke a severe outbreak of it in three different areas of my body at the same time, including my knee (and yes, this is a non-typing knee). Anyway, as what we're testing for becomes more and more obscure, I'm more convinced it's probably nothing, so I think the chances this will all blow over with no explanation are pretty strong. Thanks for all the concern and advice.
