Truth be told, I’m not really a handbag enthusiast; with the hardware I’m lugging around, a rucksack usually makes more sense. However, I am very pro weighing a backpack down with cute keyrings and whimsical bag charms. The practically vintage, chunky Pikachu bag charm currently attached to my rucksack is my pride and joy. That…
If there’s one thing every gamer needs it’s a jacket that has massive pockets, for all your gaming goodies, right? Swedish firm DRKN reckons it has the perfect puffer for travelling to LAN parties or a friend’s house because its pockets are so big you can stuff a full-size keyboard and a 15-inch laptop in…
In a post-Baldur’s Gate 3 world, the RPG feels more ascendant than ever on PC. 2025 is shaping up to be an excellent example of that, with a whole raft of huge releases due this year for lovers of levelling and loot to get their teeth into. It’s not easy to keep them all straight—even…

Once, when I was in China, a Danish colleague of mine got invited by a business-type to attend some kind of fancy high-powered conference. Thinking it’d be a novel experience at least, she agreed, only to find herself on-stage, in a suit: a deer in headlights presented to shareholders as an exec from a foreign…

We were in one of our morning meetings when someone shared Banana, a free-to-play game available on Steam where you click on an image of a banana, but what was mind-blowing were the player counts. This was in…
Good eeveening. 11 years ago, we had The Year of Luigi. Last year, we got The Year of Shadow. In 2025, it seems that Pokémon is finally getting its time to shine. Welcome to The Year of Eevee. Okay, this might just be a marketing slogan to sell some merch, but as Serebii‘s Joe Merrick…
Nobody would deny that big tech requires huge investments to kickstart them and keep the ball rolling, but at some point, multi-billion dollar expenditures require some kind of return before they become a lost cause.
