Announced at Blizzcon in front of an eager audience today was Blizzard's first new IP in 17 years! Dubbed Overwatch (yes, we already have a wiki), the game is a highly stylized team-based shooter set on earth in the near future. Matches will pit a large range of heroes against one another in face-paced conflict, including soldiers, mercenaries, scientists, adventurers, and more.

If you're reading this, you're probably just as hyped for Evolve as we are! If that's true, we have great news for you -- Curse Voice is the exclusive limited-time home for Evolve Big Alpha Guaranteed Access keys! This means that starting today and extending through Friday, October 31, Curse is the only spot on the internet where PC gamers can grab a registration code and guarantee themselves a spot in the 4v1 action next weekend.

Curse is proud to bring you a limited number of beta keys for our latest obsession: Landmark. A world founded on the passion, talents, and ambition of its community, players in Landmark fulfill unique roles as they explore the limits of creativity and curiosity.

Throughout their journey, they will have a direct and permanent impact upon the world. Traverse the lands to view breathtaking, player-made building projects, find resources to supply your own endeavors, and revisit the concept of exploration.

These keys grant 7 days of access to the Landmark Closed Beta. The time begins when you redeem the code. Follow these instructions for redemption:

We at Curse are extremely excited to announce a partnership with Hi-Rez Studios which is sure to take your SMITE experience to the next level. You can now step up your games by using Curse Voice to organize and destroy the opposition!

Chatting with teammates has never been easier. Simply create sessions with the click of a button -- you can launch right from in-game and start coordinating over our low-latency servers all for FREE. Curse Voice integrates fully into the SMITE client, providing you with an unmatched overlay experience.

This means you can easily create and share voice sessions while in queue or during god select, and you'll even see voice notifications next to god portraits while you play! Never worry about manually creating and sharing sessions, either, because Curse Voice automatically detects and matches you with teammates running the software. 

Best of all? All players that play a game of Smite while using Curse Voice before August 31 will receive a code to claim a free 200 gems, and one lucky player between now and July 18th will also win an additional 8000 gems!

Haven't played the game before? SMITE is a free-to-play online battleground between gods. Choose your deity and jump into the fray, using the powers you've been granted to triumph over your opponents in 5v5 team matches from a 3rd person perspective. It's a tactical, mythical game which puts you into the thick of the action to move and fight your way through dynamic battlegrounds.

Lastly, to celebrate SMITE and Curse Voice combining forces, we're proud to bring you an amazing giveaway! One Grand Prize winner will reign supreme with a new Alienware X51 and 8,000 SMITE gems! Five first prize winners will get 3,500 gems to start off their quest in the hottest new MOBA on the market. We'll see you on the battlefield!

Senior Wiki Manager Wynthyst has been busy over on the WildStar Wiki adding all the known outdoor housing items into our database. These plugs fit into one of the six sockets that are on your housing property and they range from functional plugs like the Crafting Kiosk, to the non-functioning, vanity plugs like the Outhouse seen below.

(The Crafting Kiosk is on the left, as the Outhouse is obviously on the right.)

Those two are examples of the smaller 1x1 outdoor housing plugs, of which of you have four sockets to place those plugs. You do get two larger 1x2 sockets on your plot of land and these larger sockets offer things that the smaller plugs don't, like a Ferris Wheel or a fully functional Robot Workshop.

(The Ferris Wheel is on the left with the Robot Workshop on the right.)

And that's only four examples out of a selection of close to 100 different plugs for the area around your home on Nexus, but we still need your help. We need folks like you to contribute, so we can catalog even more housing items like the furnishings inside your home as well as just adding some more information to the sockets and plugs that have already been cataloged. 

So head on over to the WildStar Wiki today, and while your playing this weekend, catalog a few items for your fellow players or just add some new info to some existing listings. See you on Nexus!
