Video game art site Venus Patrol is set to host “an alternative E3 press conference” called Horizon in association with the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art’s video channel (MOCAtv), the group announced today (via Joystiq). Horizon will be held on June 13, the final day of E3. Attendees can look forward to “a lineup of beautiful games as an alternative to what we’ve come to expect from standard E3 fare,” Venus Patrol’s announcement states.

There’s no word yet on what those games will actually be, but Venus Patrol promises a variety of titles from large and small studios alike, including new game announcements and revelations concerning previously announced titles. The announcement also promises “some super secret new surprises.”

“The genesis of Horizon came as Cory Schmitz (who is, of course, behind the fantastic Horizon design) & I sat at home streaming last year’s string of E3 press conferences and instantly decided to ‘light a candle, rather than curse the darkness’ and try to put together the E3 experience we wanted to see in the world,” Venus Patrol founder Brandon Boyer writes in the announcement.

Expect to hear more about Horizon and what will be there in the coming weeks.

How to start the Nuka-World DLC in Fallout 4

People standing outside Nuka World.

The first major DLC expansion for Fallout 4 lets players go to the abandoned amusement park called Nuka-World. While there's plenty of fun and excitement to be had here, don't expect it to come from the roller coasters or carnival games since this park is the battleground between rival raider gangs. This new zone adds a ton of new quests and side activities to the base experience, but it isn't as simple to get to as a real theme park. Don't worry if your Pip-Boy isn't helping you get to Nuka-World -- we'll show you how to start this DLC.

How to start the Automatron DLC in Fallout 4

A man and a robot walking in the wastelands in Fallout 4.

Each piece of Fallout 4 DLC adds something substantial to the base experience. In the case of the Automatron expansion, an entire new questline pitting you against a robot army led by a figure known as the Mechanist. Starting it isn't as difficult as starting other DLCs like the Nuka-World expansion, but it-s still a bit cryptic. Buying the DLC doesn't automatically make it apparent how to actually start this new adventure, but we'll give you specific directions to find it in the wasteland.
