Science classrooms across the globe have been pedalling a lie for decades, maybe even centuries. Eggs are not stronger when dropped on their ends. So say researchers from MIT, who claim that eggs are far stronger on their sides. Apparently, “sideways eggs bend like shock absorbers, trading stiffness for superior energy absorption.” Apart from overturning…
The Honkai: Star Rail 3.3 livestream codes have arrived, giving you a little bump of Stellar Jade you can put to use when pulling for new or returning characters in the big update. For those of you who might have only started playing recently, miHoYo runs a livestream for Honkai: Star Rail every six weeks,…
I whip my hair back and forth. Back in July 2023, we heard that developer WayForward was returning to a previously cancelled GBA entry in the Shantae series, Risky Revolution, for a release on both the classic hardware and modern consoles. While we’re still waiting to hear a solid launch date, the dev has finally…
(Well, if you like fighting games, at least). When the Dreamcast launched, I was fully invested in Sega’s ecosystem. Sure, I’d flirted with the PS1 and N64, but the Saturn—with its generous selection of 2D fighting games from Capcom and SNK—was my go-to system at that point. It was hopeful, then, that Sega’s next system…
If, like me, you enjoy playing stealthy characters in fantasy RPGs, then a new mod that boosts sneak attack damage multipliers in Oblivion Remastered is well worth checking out. As standard in Oblivion Remastered, almost all weapon types deal the same sneak attack multipliers, which are x2 at Novice, before climbing (and crucially stalling) at…
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s got its first proper hotfix patch, and as promised, the 2 billion damage build is well and truly dead. Stendhal’s been de-juiced, and a second, surprise nerf to Medalum will also tone down Maelle’s damage just a bit. Overall, the update’s relatively minor—it has a bunch of fixes to ultrawide support…
A Reddit user has turned their big rig truck into, well, a big rig. Yeah, the jokes write themselves, but one rather impressive gaming setup has popped up complete with a swivel-mounted monitor to play with a controller, accessories for simulator games, and energy via a full-on generator. Shared to the PCMR subreddit, user ZanaZamora…
“this one will be well worth it”. Professional skater Bam Margera has been officially confirmed for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 on the Switch and Switch 2. Margera’s involvement had been in question following a string of legal difficulties in recent years, but a recent report suggested that Tony Hawk himself was responsible…
The world is full of distractions, many of which are localised to the screens we all stare at day in and day out. The fact that the surface you turn to for necessary but boring life tasks, such as paying bills or sending strongly worded emails, is also the same setting for hours upon hours…
(Image credit: Arrowhead Games) Helldivers 2 is revealing, uh, something? Typically I’d position myself as a seat of authority on gaming news, but I’m just about as confused as the rest of the game’s playerbase right now. This morning, a livestream dubbed STATION-81 // OFFLINE _ [ REBOOT ] kicked into gear, displaying what appears…
