The legal fight between OpenAI co-founders Elon Musk and Sam Altman has seen much internal documentation from the firm’s earliest years released to the public. One minor revelation has been the serious involvement of Gabe Newell from the start, who gave the company over $20 million and was the sole member of its “informal advisory…
Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, has confirmed that services are back up and running following a major DDoS attack that left some of its infrastructure, including websites and repos, unavailable for five days. DDoS, or Distributed Denial of Service, attacks are intended to disrupt the everyday operation of servers and networks. They’re often quite effective,…
22 Lickitung-twisters. After 30 years and well over 1000 Pokémon in the National Dex, coming up with snappy names for Pocket Monsters is tough. Add in all the languages the games are localised into, and potential issues around certain words and puns which don’t translate well, and it’s no wonder that people have different ways…
I’ve always been an advocate of keeping your personal data as private as you can to stave off the creeping hand of digital tyranny, but for gaming? Nah, no chance. I’m a (wannabe) competitive gamer and I need my latency as low as possible, and VPNs are a no-go. At least, that’s what I thought…
The console was scheduled to release on June 16th, 2026. Retro Games Ltd has revealed that the A1200 — its upcoming plug-and-play system based on the original Amiga 1200 — has been delayed again. Originally teased back in 2023, the “full-size Amiga replica” was scheduled to launch in 2024 but was delayed due to a…
Resolution? Never heard of it! If you regularly used the YouTube app on your Switch 1, then you might have noticed that no such option exists on Switch 2. Yep, for the best part of a year, Switch 2 has been YouTube-less. While we wait for Google to introduce another official application for the console,…
What makes The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind one of the greatest games of all time? Is it the complex imperial politics of its setting? The piquant mythopoeia? Fargoth? It’s none of these. It’s the fact it’s a right ballache to actually play. I… kid? Sort of? I’ll admit it: Morrowboomers can lean a little too…
We’re all pretty aware that crypto probably isn’t, erm, what you’d call a safe investment for the future. Especially since, as of earlier this year, it’s apparently in a “collateral death spiral”. Which doesn’t sound great. But if you made a different bet—say, by purchasing Old School RuneScape bonds, converting them into gp, and then…
AMD reports it made $10.3 billion in revenue during the first quarter of 2026. While revenue growth has been more or less flat quarter-on-quarter, this figure otherwise represents a growth of 38% compared to the same period in 2025. By all accounts, AMD is continuing to dine well on the demand for “high-performance CPUs and…
Kan’t wait. Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon has revealed that developer NetherRealm Studios is “actively pursuing” a new MK game. Speaking with Kollider (sorry, Collider) Boon is asked whether he can provide any updates on what NetherRealm is currently working on. While he’s understandably kagey (damn), he does konfirm (damn!) that a new entry in…
