As highlighted by Gabe Fowlkes, the find was announced on Facebook, with the “completely NOS Sega Fighting Vipers arcade cabinets” being described as “completely untouched, still boxed, monitors never powered on.” Read the full…
Monster Hunter Wilds is both a return to meat-and-potatoes monster combat and a dramatic revision of the hunting format. It’s a more approachable lizard-slaying sandbox, and it’s a tangle of multiplayer quirks that still feels like something out of 2007.

If you’ve been paying attention to the Kugane Tower speedrunning race in Final Fantasy 14—and not, say, watching football or touching grass or something—you might’ve seen Pint, a known streamer, strive to conquer the world record back in 2023.

After a relatively muted ‘launch’ at CES 2025, AMD’s next-generation GPU architecture, RDNA 4, has been left to leaks and rumours, as to how much better it’s going to be compared to previous Radeon iterations. One tech site, however, is claiming that it has the real deal—AMD’s own performance claims—and depending on what you were…
Have you ever had the chance to surprise someone you truly admire? I recently got that chance – to surprise Nicolas Doucet with congratulations (and a cake!) celebrating his and Team Asobi’s well deserved Game of the Year win at The Game Awards for Astro Bot!
