If you’re in the western half of Canada or the USA, reportedly you’ve been treated to quite the evening light show of late. What has looked like shooting stars or meteorites entering the Earth’s atmosphere has in fact been Starlink satellites burning up in ever greater numbers. According to retired Harvard astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell (via…
The best games ask big questions. Planescape: Torment asked what could change the nature of a man. Disco Elysium asked if, in dark times, the stars should also go out. Today, Mala Petaka asks: what if Doom was a gumdrop-sweet game they made in Japan in 1992? Created in actual GZDoom, the open-source Doom engine…
Monster Hunter Wilds recently added a new raid boss from Final Fantasy 14, but all this seems to have done is brought some long-running player grievances to the surface. The game’s Steam reviews have been absolutely tanking and the reason will surprise no-one who’s played it: performance. I’m a Monster Hunter megafan and, when it…

When I first played Red Dead Redemption 2, I vowed to myself that I would not kill any innocent bystanders. I was so determined to complete a high honour run, and while that did largely happen, I can’t deny the fact that there were a few casualties along the way. Sometimes you accidentally hit the…
Activision’s catching tons of cheaters in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 red-handed—that is, if its official news account on X is to be believed. In a blog posted to the site today, Activision boasted some pretty impressive numbers, at least at first glance. “Cheaters were expected. But our upgraded systems caught them faster than…
The legend of Petscop never ceases to confuse me. If you haven’t heard of this weird blip in internet history, it’s probably for good reason. This horror series was created by Tony Domenico eight years ago and sees a strange protagonist, Paul, traverse each layer of the game, uncovering more dark and unnerving secrets as…
Readers, a confession: I am one of a cohort of people the scientific community is calling ‘sicko freaks.’ That is to say that, from an early age, I’ve enjoyed the process of hoarding and reading RPG sourcebooks without ever actually, you know, playing them.
