SEOUL, Jan. 8, 2021 — LG Electronics (LG) today announces the introduction of webOS 6.0 for its 2021 OLED, QNED Mini LED and UHD smart TVs. Paired with the new Magic Remote, the latest version of the company’s acclaimed smart TV platform offers viewers an enjoyable and intuitive content discovery experience.

The New Home screen provides faster access to the most frequently used apps and streamlines content discovery with recommendations based on the user’s preferences and viewing history.

Beyond the new premium design, the LG Magic Remote offers simpler controls when using voice recognition with the multi-AI offerings of LG ThinQ, Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. Simple to navigate, slick, easy to hold and use, the new Magic Remote offers a range of user-friendly features including faster connections between the TV and other devices and hot keys for accessing popular content providers such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Disney+.* Magic Tap, a one-touch NFC function on the Magic Remote, provides easy access to a host of exciting viewing possibilities.

The content dependent feature also delivers an easy and friendly shopping experience for products appearing across select broadcast channels and LG TV services including Live TV, Gallery, Settings and TV Guide, by changing the colour of the cursor whenever Magic Explorer has information to share.
What’s more, the new Next Picks feature analyses viewers’ preferences to discover more content suited to their tastes.

LG Ultra-lightweight laptops deliver more screen real estate and stylish design while maintaining powerful performance and portability
SEOUL, Jan. 7, 2021 — LG Electronics (LG) awaited lineup of LG gram laptops will be showcased at the company’s first all-virtual CES 2021 events. The ultra-light, and ultra-portable models offer premium performance and long battery life, while continuing the brand’s legacy of go-anywhere computing convenience. The stylish new designs with large 16:10 aspect ratio screens add even more value to the company’s versatile solutions.
The global lineup includes five exciting new models: LG gram 17 (model 17Z90P), LG gram 16 (model 16Z90P), LG gram 14 (model 14Z90P), LG gram 2-in-1 16 (model 16T90P) and LG gram 2-in-1 14 (model 14T90P) all with 16:10 aspect ratio screens designed around maximising work efficiency. Certain models from this range will arrive in the Australian market this quarter. More information will be provided as it becomes available.
2021 LG gram laptops offer more screen real estate than a 16:9 display and are capable of showing more information at any one time. The keyboard and touchpad have also been designed to assist with faster, easier typing without compromising the portability of these compact devices.
High-resolution, covering 99 per cent (typical) of DCI-P3 colour space, the new displays are versatile for entertainment as well as work, delivering realistic picture quality with vibrant, accurate colours, excellent contrast and sharp detail. New in 2021, the four-sided super-slim bezel design aids in viewer immersion and contributes to the products’ premium, sleek and sophisticated look.
In order to meet the needs of demanding users, the LG gram laptops come with Intel® EvoTM Platform verified, powered by an 11th Gen Intel® CoreTM processor with Iris® Xe Graphics and speedy LPDDR4x memory. The LG gram models 17Z90P, 16Z90P and 16T90P feature 80Wh high-density batteries to deliver longer periods of use between charges, freeing users from the need to carry a power adapter with them.
Providing a big-screen experience without sacrificing portability, the flagship LG gram 17 boasts a large 17-inch screen while only weighing 1.35kg (2.98lbs). Equally transportable, the new LG gram 16 and 14 tip the scale at just 1.19kg (2.62lbs) and 999g (2.2lbs) respectively and are 1.68cm (0.66 inch) thick. Thanks to the ultra-narrow LG bezels and a hidden hinge design, all three models achieve a screen-to-body ratio (STBR) of 90 per cent.
Both the 16 and 14-inch versions of the new LG gram 2-in-1 deliver ultra-portable convenience thanks to the LG 360-degree hinge and the product’s lightness. The LG gram 2-in-1 comes with a stylus pen compatible with Wacom AES 2.0 to assist with navigation and control for a smooth, precise writing and drawing experience.
“Synonymous with outstanding portability and first-class performance, the LG gram brand continues to raise the bar for the ultra-slim laptop market,” said Jang Ik-hwan, senior vice president and head of the IT business unit of LG Electronics Business Solutions Company. “With sleeker, more refined designs and 16:10 aspect ratio displays while maintaining lightweight, our latest LG gram lineup gives consumers the ability to enjoy better productivity and more immersive viewing experiences wherever they go.”

Change characters and the newly rebalanced difficulty mid-game!
Seattle, Washington – January 6th, 2020 – Tribetoy and Beep Games, Inc.’s have released their biggest update yet for their old-timey arcade shooter, Bartlow’s Dread Machine. There’s never been a better time to hop into this unique take on twin-stick shooters based in and around early 20th-century parlour game cabinets.
This update adds all sorts of quality of life improvements, from allowing players to switch characters between levels, to changing the newly rebalanced difficulty mid-game, to an option to start a separate new game file without any of your upgrades – perfect for playing through the adventure fresh with a friend!
Set entirely within the confines of this titular relic from the dawn of the Electric Age, Bartlow’s Dread Machine casts one to two players as government agents in a series of escapades through New York, San Francisco, and all across the continent as they seek to rescue the kidnapped President Roosevelt from the forces of evil. But beware, sinister forces are at work! Bound to the clockwork gizmos running this contraption, agents are mere metal figurines roving around on rails. But these aren’t any ordinary tin toys as they have free rein on how to navigate these forking networks of tracks. Think Pac-Man if he were made of metal, wore a cool peacoat, and was packing some serious heat! Sets made of wood and tin unfold around you in real-time as you navigate this immersive puppet show. Encounter a cast of improbable monsters and historical characters as you traverse the high seas and beyond using trains, ships and even a newfangled automobile!
Bartlow’s Dread Machine features a wealth of content with 6 worlds, 52 guns, and all manner of outfits to deck out your gumshoe. Unlock unique spins on historical characters, like Zombie General Custer, Nikola Tesla, Annie Oakley. Plus the drop-in / drop-out couch co-op contains per-player difficulty, allowing each player to set the challenge level to their preference.
“We’re very proud of what we accomplished with Bartlow’s Dread Machine, but as any creative person can tell you, there’s always more work to be done. We’ve listened to player feedback and tailored the experience in a way that takes all the criticisms we’ve received into consideration,” said Matthew Hoseterey Co-Founder and Director of Design at Tribetoy. “With the holidays fast approaching, this new update makes it a perfect time to revisit Bartlow’s Dread Machine or jump into it for the very first time!”
Bartlow’s Dread Machine offers language support for English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese.

Its second title, Bow to Blood, tasked players with captaining an airship in a multi-stage reality TV show. Its third title, the twin-stick shooter set inside an early 20th-century parlour game, Bartlow’s Dread Machine, was released in 2020 on PC and Xbox One.

Kalypso (Railway Empire) and Realmforge Studio announced their upcoming space station management sim and RTS hybrid Spacebase Startopia is now available for pre-purchase for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S via Xbox Game Preview, Steam, and the Kalypso Store. The game is not an early access release on Steam, as the service is only offering pre-purchases. The difference seems to be purely a technicality so far as the pre-purchase grants instant access to the beta and Spacebase Startopia is on Xbox Game Preview.
The beta period will run until the game is launched in the spring of 2021 (Fall 2021 for those in the southern hemisphere). The release date was already pushed back in September after developers needed more time to finish parts of the game and deal with issues related to bugs, balance, and optimization.
Spacebase Startopia is the successor to the the original 2001 sim/RTS. The new game continues the tradition of mixing kingdom management, simiulation, RTS, and comed elements into one package. Spacebase Startopia will offer a singleplayer campaign, a singleplayer battle mode, four player co-op, and four player competitive.
