While OLED gaming monitors might be a stretch goal for many of us, miniature versions are already being crammed into VR headsets. Much like their bigger, desktop-dwelling cousins, however, the price can be pretty prohibitive. Pimax may be bucking that trend, as it’s announced the Dream Air SE, a lighter weight, slightly lower-specced version of…
The news that Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 wouldn’t include the popular career mode from the original 4th game wasn’t received well when it was announced in March. Instead, the timed challenges from the first three games would replace the mode that so many skaters loved. In an interview with Game Informer, Iron…
If you’ve been keeping your finger on the pulse of AI developments, you’ll know that there’s growing concern about meeting the power demands of the data centers that train and run AI inference. Elon Musk’s Colossus supercomputer that powers Grok, xAI’s alternative to ChatGPT, tackles this by using over 30 methane gas turbine stations, but…
“Most of the CG designers were college students doing part-time work”. Developed as the first game to specifically require the use of the DualShock controller, Sony Computer Entertainment’s 1999 platformer Ape Escape (known in Japan as Saru Getchu) was built around a pretty simple yet ingenious premise. A bunch of mischievous primates have escaped from…
It should be the first Pik. We all assumed that Nintendo would pull some re-release magic with the Switch 2, giving us a chance to play our favourite titles again, only this time at a slightly higher resolution and perhaps with some quality of life improvements thrown in to boot. It was a no brainer…
Gearbox Software co-founder and CEO Randy Pitchford is going full PT Barnum for the release of Borderlands 4, bullishly telling everyone that this is going to be the best Borderlands since sliced bread, and wading into online fights to tell the doubters to “play the game first.” Heck he even pulled a Todd Howard: “you…
You can’t beat an air cooler on a budget and there’s no better example of that than the superb Arctic Freezer 36. It’s quiet, performs exceptionally well, and is very affordable—what more could you ask for? Arctic has nailed the formula with the Freezer 36. I’ve used other popular designs from the company prior to…
I find the Hyper 612 to be oddly satisfying to look at. It stands out for having little about it that actually stands out. It has a wholly understated design yet its silver-sided fans make it something of a showpiece in the right build to match. It looks more expensive than it is, and that’s…
Enjoy sessions for up to an hour. One of the most disappointing confirmations regarding the upcoming Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 on Switch and Switch 2 was that the Career Mode in THPS 4 would adopt the same timer-based structure as the previous games, thus revamping the original release which allowed players to…
I don’t like to make our readers feel the weight of the passing years—but I’m afraid I have to inform you that Leeroy Jenkins, one of the internet’s oldest memes, turned 20 years old yesterday. I know, I know. I’m not sure how to feel about it either. The meme (which is one year away…
