Lost Island, a new Flashpoint, is available for play! Having uncovered the sources of the Rakghoul plague outbreak in the Tion Hegemony, players must travel to Ord Mantell and confront Dr. Lorrick, the mad scientist who engineered this horrific biological weapon.
Explosive Conflict, a new Operation, is available for play! The Trandoshan mercenary warlord Kephess has seized the planet Denova, a world rich in resources valuable to the war effort. Players must assault his war camp, situated atop a mountain in densely-wooded terrain, fighting Imperial defectors and heavy war machines along the way. 8- and 16-player Story and Hard Modes are currently available for this Operation.
Novare Coast, a new objective-oriented Warzone on the planet Denova, has been added to the game. This Warzone, like Huttball, supports same-faction matches if there are not enough members of the opposing faction to be found.

Quote from the developers:
The Banner Saga is a role-playing game merged with turn-based strategy, wrapped into an adventure mini-series about vikings.
Travel through stunning landscapes straight out of an animated film. Battle painstakingly hand-animated foes in strategic, turn-based combat harkening back to the classic "Tactics" days of gaming. Make decisions with consequences in conversations with people you'll truly care about.
And throughout the whole thing record the history of your people on your banner where it will be remembered, because soon there might not be anything left.
The Banner Saga is a mature game aimed at gamers who appreciate art, story and strategy.
Last night more than 20.000 people gathered in the last part of a match between Evil Geniuses and Mousesports. In the beginning it was a standart game, about 9.000 viewers, but minutes passed and things started to go wild, big team fights, buys and rebuys, big items over big items, even the double-edged Divine Rapier came into play at the end.
Thousands of other players joined the stream to watch an amazing last stand of a Doombringer against a nearly dead last barrack and some brilliant behind the lines action all put together in a 80+ game worth every single minute of it.
Enjoy the replay casted by Tobi Wan in joindota.com:

Volume one of the best moments in tournaments of DOTA 2 in 2011 .
German guild Irae AoD claimed the First World First of TOR, completing Eternity Vault in nightmare mode. But there's some people arguing that the kill is not legit. As Bioware does not provide information or answer anything relating this, only the next weeks will tell if this is the first world first in the game.
Here's the video of the kill:
Star Wars The Old Republic announced a new patch that fixes some bugs and introduces new content.
A new flashpoint, "Kaon Under Siege", four additional new bosses for the operation: Karagga's Palace. It also fixes the problem that prevented some Jedi Knight progress in affection talks with Kira Carsen and makes accessible some datacrons previously inaccessible.
