PC Gaming
The Xbox 360 was the first console I bought after becoming a PC gamer a few years prior, and oh, what a machine that was. I still remember sitting on my bed and staring in awe at the next-gen graphics in front of me as I sawed through Locust Horde scum in Gears of War….
Both phases of the Battlefield 6 open beta have given us heaps of in-game challenges to complete to earn exclusive rewards once the game fully launches in October. However, there’s actually another event going on that no one seems to know about: Destruction Receipts. Given it’s not featured in the in-game menus, I’m not too…
There’s something about dark fantasy and the observation that it’s a bit cold out that goes together like whiskey and… well, ice. Frosthaven, an adaptation of a board game by the same name, understands this—and also happens to’ve just launched into early access. Led by Julian Gollop, head of Snapshot Games and creator of X-COM,…
The White House’s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, says the 15% export tax that has been agreed with Nvidia and AMD for GPUs being exported to China could be expanded to “other companies”. In the meantime, she said the Department of Commerce is working on the “legality” of it all. As we reported a few days…
We’re just a couple weeks away from 2004: part 2, when Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater hits this August 28. If you’ve just bolted awake from a 9-year coma, that’s the UE5 remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 that marks Konami’s first real attempt to prove to fans it can be trusted to steward…
I’ve been using a Hall effect keyboard for quite a while, and I’m keenly aware that this switch technology is the most popular for gamers right now. However, a while ago I spoke with Razer product manager Dexter Tan about optical keyboards, and he argued that optical is actually better. Both kinds of tech allow…
One of the most known marketing lines in videogame history is the absolutely ludicrous promise that Borderlands has 87 bazillion guns. Obviously this is hyperbole—the guns are randomised. It has a lot, but a bazillion is not a real number and thus should not be taken seriously. It was a goof, a gaff. Well, that…
Fighting Everdark Libra in Elden Ring Nightreign is honestly a bit of a nightmare. It’s an exceptionally fun fight with a cool concept, but it’s also just a lot to deal with, and will prove challenging for most players. While Everdark Augur was all about using a specific weapon skill, and Everdark Caligo had frost…
The Autonomous SmartDesk 5 is no more expensive than Ikea’s Utespelare, a non-motorised desk, and yet it does all the tricks. It’ll sit, it’ll stand, it’ll… okay, that’s about it, but that’s not bad for a desk under $300. The SmartDesk 5 is currently $249/CAD 699, though it’s usually $299. It’s not yet available in…
The Gravelines nuclear power station in northern France shut down several of its reactors last weekend due to an unusual problem—pumping stations in the non-nuclear part of the facility were clogged up with the ‘massive and unpredictable presence of jellyfish.’ The jellyfish were said to be amassed within the filter drums of said pumping stations,…
