I spent a great deal of time over the holiday ranking up in Marvel Rivals. I had previously thought that my journey to Diamond was fought with hard work and skill, but it turns out that there’s a pretty significant bug that might’ve been holding my opponents back. At first, I thought the reports of…
Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail has a bit of a script issue—several, in fact—and while there were certainly moments I enjoyed quite a lot, it marks an otherwise low point for the MMO’s otherwise sterling reputation for emotive and impactful storytelling. Well, except for that one questline before Titan back in A Realm Reborn, but we…
New hardware smell. This is it, people. This is the year. The smoke and stench from refried rumours is overwhelming but soon it will clear to reveal… new Nintendo hardware. No, not a grainy motherboard pic from a factory backroom or a render someone posted with ‘OMG the latest Switch 2 trailer is 🥹🥹🥹!!!!11‘ slapped…
Console got a whole new game in 1990, not a port. Given that it was once famous for the quality of its arcade games, it’s somewhat odd that Sega produced so many home console titles that were connected with their coin-op parents in name only. Both the Genesis / Mega Drive and Master System ports…

Now, the dev has managed to get Windows 11 working on a miniscule amount of system memory, too. NTDev shared on X that they’ve managed to get Windows…
Chips ahoy. Well folks, part of us had hoped that 2025 would mark the end of leaks and rumours regarding the upcoming ‘Switch 2’, but apparently not. Ahead of Nintendo’s expected announcement before the end of March, new images have appeared online that seem to reveal the successor’s motherboard. Posted on Reddit by MHN1994 (who…
“We’ve never seen anything like this before”. While it’s fair to say that modern-day television sets produce a sharper, brighter and more colourful image than ones from a few decades ago, there’s no denying that CRT TVs have their place in the world of retro gaming. Many vintage games were designed to be viewed on…
