January 29, 2013, and this is your Late Night Computing for Tuesday.

One week until Dead Space 3 launches. As much as I'm anticipating this game, the marketing has really left a bitter taste in my mouth. Dead Space and Dead Space 2 have some particularly great music, with the credits song in the second sticking in my head for quite some time. Will Dead Space 3 continue the trend? I'll let you know next week!

Chatty posts of the moment:

Make sure you log-in and check your filters if you can't see the following:

  • "How would LAN parties work back in the day? I never went to one. From what I understand, your mom drops you off at around 6 PM, there is a lot of pizza and soda, you play games until 4 AM until you crash and then your mom picks you up in the morning. No girls allowed. If this is how it went down I am insanely jealous (not kidding)." [by The Grolar Bear]

  • "Update to my Ubisoft Support problems from yesterday. They blocked my ability to post on their Facebook page. Please note, I only posted my problem once on FB and once on Twitter. I did call twice." [by amrbean]
