Handing your pride and joy over to a service tech is a nerve fraying experience. While the vast majority ofservice personnel out there are well trained, courteous and quick about their work, there are bad apples in every bushel, and you never know exactly who’s getting their hands on your keys. Audi is looking to put some of that worry aside with a new program that the company is calling – brace yourself – Audi Cam.

Think of it as lifecasting for your mechanic. When you bring your vehicle in to the shop for repairs, you’re connected to a technician via a two-way radio and a headset video camera. If there’s any sort of problem, the tech can contact you over the radio and vice-versa. Even better, owners get to sit in the comfy waiting room and watch the action from screens there. The company is hoping that the move will give owners some added peace of mind by giving them a peek into the inner workings of the dealership shop.

For now, it appears that Audi Cam will only be available in Europe. But who knows? It might just make the jump across The Pond and into a dealership near you soon.

Torchlight may have borne quite the resemblance to Blizzard’s ultra-popular Diablo franchise, but its sequel’s taking after a different member of Blizzard’s stable. Well, kinda. The term “MMO” carries a certain set of expectations and… aw, screw it. Some bits of the bigger MMO picture are really boring. Fortunately, the Torchlight MMO is aiming to be a massive game – you know, with fun and stuff – and not a massive headache.

“Our vision is to have an MMO that plays as close to single player as we can get it. It will have the same focus on relatively fast action: carving your way through hordes of monsters with a large number of hugely devastating skills. The game has to be solo-able, but players will have to have skills that make them useful in a party and make them work together,” Runic Games president Travis Baldree told PC Gamer.

Ok, but how about the game’s business model? We’re not entirely sure how we feel about nickel ‘n’ diming in our hack ‘n’ slash. 

“I will never, ever buy a microtransaction item,” Baldree said of his game’s microtransaction system. “I’m that kind of player. And the game has to be enjoyable for me, too. We don’t want our monetization stuff to offer ways to skip the game because the game is boring.”
