It’s been difficult as a layman in cybersecurity to figure out how seriously we should take all the hype and fear over Anthropic’s Claude Mythos AI. But now I have something a little more concrete to grasp onto, as Cloudflare has been busy figuring out exactly what Mythos seems good for. The AI model recently…
I’m finally all caught up on Critical Role’s fourth campaign after an extended break—and I’ve been very much enjoying the “Schemer’s Table”, one of three central groups (the others being Soldiers and Seekers) that comprise the actual play show’s ambitious group of 13 players. As opposed to the Soldiers, who’ve been hunting down the bugger…
When Asus took over Intel’s baton for the Next Unit of Computing (aka the NUC or mini PC), some of us hoped that we’d be treated to a fresh new direction to the original concept. Essentially, that’s what we got, but it also came with something we didn’t want, and the latest Asus ROG NUC…
Efficiency gains are often cited as the reason to bring more AI into the workplace, though concerns over resulting job losses are never far behind. It might surprise you, then, to learn that the head of Google DeepMind, Demis Hassabis, actually thinks job cuts caused by AI are not the way forward. Today’s wealth of…
We’re just over a week away from the release of A24’s Backrooms film, and while horror fans have been eating particularly well so far this year, this one’s really for the horror game players as director Kane Parsons seeks to adapt a long running and much loved creepypasta.

The FM Towns ‘eroge’ fighter now has more English text. Three years ago, Derek Pascarella released the first version of his English patch for the FM Towns eroge fighting game Ningyou Tsukai, better known in the West as Metal & Lace: The Battle of the Robo Babes. Pascarella has just announced that he has released…
I’ve used a few different Microsoft Surface laptops over the years, and I’ve never been blown away by the power underneath the hood. The good news is, the new models will be powered by Intel Core Ultra Series 3 chips, which should be pretty speedy. The bad news is, they’re fairly expensive—but MS says there’s…
Exodus, the space opera RPG in development at Archetype Studios, looks very much like Mass Effect—in fact, we declared in April that “it couldn’t look more like Mass Effect,” based on the teasers we’ve seen so far. In a new interview with The Game Business, though, Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks described it somewhat differently. “It’s…
Embracer Group! It’s the conglomerate you may recall from when it swallowed up seemingly half the industry a few years ago, before hitting a brick wall when a $2 billion mystery deal it had lined up vanished in a puff of smoke, leading to layoffs, sell-offs, and one stunned CEO at a press conference (don’t…
