As many of you probably know we try to do a weekly livestream on the Stardock Twitch channel with the Lead Designer of Galactic Civilizations III. We've also done one for Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes, and although I can't promise, I think it's safe to say we'll probably do more for other projects as they come along. It's a great way to show our fans stuff we're working on and a chance to answer some of your questions at the same time. Some people have tol...
The folks at Paragon let me know that they have released Backup & Recovery 2014 Free recently. Having a backup of your files and system is very important, especially with all the security issues we’ve posted about recently. “The newest release has been enhanced with a WinPE boot media builder, a capability usually found only in commercial backup software. For the user’s convenience this feature requires no additional installation or registration. Paragon Backup & R...
It's no secret the Steam Summer Sale will be arriving soon, and I've been reading threads on other forums about it. I've added a bit of money to my Steam wallet, but there really isn't anything I can think of that I'm really waiting for a big sale to hit. I'm probably forgetting about a few games and I'll remember them if I see them, but I still have a backlog from past sales, so I'm just going to wait and see what get put on sale. Is there anything yo...
Monday is here again. I hope you had a good weekend, and while we return to work today I always like to take a moment and highlight the skins submitted from the past couple of days. Here’s the latest on WinCustomize! ...
It’s been a great week for Master Skins as this is our third we have released on WinCustomize this week. We have another from LightStar called WoodWorX, and this is one of the best wood skins I’ve seen in a while. This Master Skin for WindowBlinds includes a matching wallpaper, and the skin is compatible with both Windows 7 and Windows 8. Grab this one today and don’t forget your 20% discount if you are a WinCustomize Subscriber . WoodWorX by LightStar ...
I’ve been watching the news about 3D printers for a while, and one of the reasons is the very cool ability in Galactic Civilizations III that allows you to print your ship designs with a 3D printer. Most people think 3D printers aren’t affordable at least for the general consumer, and in most cases they are exactly right. However, within the next year we should be seeing several consumer-level 3D printers available for just a few hundred dollars or less. Image via @draginol :...
At E3, DICE and EA gave a short mention to Star Wars Battlefront 3 which will be arriving in 2015. They put out a video about the development which only showed a brief moment of gameplay, but I’m still excited for this and can’t wait to see more. http://starwars.ea.com/
It’s a good week for WindowBlinds users as we have another Master WindowBlinds skin released on WinCustomize! This one is called BlueFrost and is from basj, who has also been turning out some great skins recently. Soft colors and a minimal design makes this a great all-around skin. It’s designed for Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1. Be sure to grab this one today, and if you are a WinCustomize Subscriber you get a 20% discount. BlueFrost by basj
I’ve been saying since Google bought Nest there would be a great opportunity for a company to create a good competitor to Nest, and Honeywell might just be on track to do that. It announced Lyric today, which is a new smart thermostat which will work with an accompanying iOS or Android app to help you control and maintain efficiency of your cooling and heating systems. Lyric will use geofencing to know if you’re home or not, and you can set distances so when you are getting clo...
The latest Master WindowBlinds skin is from LightStar and it’s called Wixom. This has a unique style, but this design works and looks great on either a Windows 8 or Windows 7 desktop. LightStar did a fantastic job on this, and I think everyone here on WinCustomize would enjoy having this skin on their desktop. Don’t forget to get your 20% discount by being a WinCustomize Subscriber . Wixom by LightStar
