While AndaSeat does offer a selection of more straight-shot office chairs, the X-Air Pro is a decidedly more ‘gamer inflected’ offering with its hefty chunk of…
Of course Nvidia was going to have at least one supercomputer; I mean it’s been making data centre GPUs for a million years now.

Staff behind some of the most famous Japanese game franchises of all time are banding together to work on a new title that will be published by legendary shmup firm Cave.
