Earlier today, Amazon sent an email to all its employees to explain why it needed to make “organizational changes” that would result in 14,000 corporate roles being laid off. The message carried the usual phrases one sees in missives from senior management: more leanly, fewer layers, more ownership, move as quickly as possible. The reason…

I am a sheep. Stick a timer at the top of my screen, and I’ll be gone way before it runs out. I don’t even need to know what the consequences are; I just know that it’s counting down to something I probably don’t want to see, so I’ll pack up and leave way before…

The Melt Mouse isn’t some Dali-esque nightmare, but rather a touchpad and haptic-equipped squeaker with serious Apple vibes

Gaming mice these days offer a wealth of features, like more remappable buttons than you can shake a magical cat girl stave at. However, I appreciate not everyone is a MMO sicko—so what if you feel like your gaming mouse has maybe too many buttons? For those craving a smoother, tactile device, there’s the wireless…

Last month, Capcom decided to do something relatively unheard of in the fighting game community: charge people to watch the Capcom Cup Finals and Street Fighter League: World Championship online.

C’est tout un gros malentendu! In the magazine business, the back page is where you’d find all the weird goofs that we couldn’t fit in anywhere else. Some may call it “filler”; we prefer “a whole page to make terrible jokes that are tangentially related to the content of the mag”. We don’t have pages…

Launches in “Early Access” this December. Given Rockstar is currently heads down finishing Grand Theft Auto VI, it doesn’t seem likely that we’re going to get a follow-up to the publisher’s 2006 school-based action adventure title Bully anytime soon.
