ASRock, maker of motherboards, graphics cards, and much more, seems to have joined with Cooler Master, maker of cases, coolers, and not much more, to form a lovely little partnership for a reason I cannot quite discern. Not that I’m complaining, of course—spread the love, spirit of cooperation, and all that—it’s just a little peculiar…
A moment from 2019’s Control that has always stayed with me involves a skeleton in a wig yelling at another still cursed-looking puppet, “EVERYONE WANTS THE BIG CHAIR, MEG.” But when it comes to this XL edition from DX Racer, I’m not so sure. It’s not just the fact that, as a generally not small…
World of Warcraft: Midnight, the incoming expansion for the two-decade-plus MMO, will be taking players back to Silvermoon—that’s been known for some time, but it’s also a bit of a continued experiment. See, WoW’s a wizened beast with expansions in the double digits to its name, and if you keep slapping continents on the old…
“Everyone doubted it. Even today, people say that it works in practice but not in theory.” On its 25th anniversary, that’s what Wikipedia has to say about itself and the tale of its improbable success.

The origin point of this particular ruckus appears to be a post by @JaAmfan, citing a two-year-old video with the title “Why…
An Intelligent Systems top-down adventure also on the way. We now know the launch line-up for the Virtual Boy – Nintendo Classics service, coming to Nintendo Switch Online on 17th February 2026. And while it’s all worth getting excited over, there are two never-before-released games coming out later in the year that Nintendo enthusiasts should…
The assault rifle and shotgun combo has dominated Fortnite for too long. Every time I refresh our best weapons guide they’re collectively at the top of the tier list—and if the assault rifle has a red-dot sight it’s essentially a must carry. This season’s scoped Deadeye AR, for example, is by far the best gun…
“Can you feel the sunshine?”. If you’ve ever played Sonic R on the Sega Saturn and wished to explore the stages at your own pace, and without the somewhat unwieldy racing controls, then you’re in luck. That’s because the hacker and reverse engineering expert, Bo Bayles, has just released a new patch, Sonic R&R, for…
Two previously unreleased games are also coming in 2026. Those of you excited to relive the glory days of the Virtual Boy only have a few more weeks to wait until you can play them on Nintendo Switch Online on Switch 1 and Switch 2. 17th February is approaching fast! Today, Nintendo has dropped a…
