When Jagex unveiled it was making RuneScape: Dragonwilds—a survival crafting game that cribs more than a few elements from its long-running MMO—I was curious, if not a little hesitant. I couldn’t help but wonder how certain elements would translate cross-genre. Turns out, pretty well. I recently sat down with Dragonwilds creative director Rick Turek to…

Ever wanted to run an old Intel Core 2 Duo alongside an RTX 50-series graphics card using Windows 10 as your OS? No, me neither. And if you did, well, as of last year you couldn’t… but now you can. You’re welcome. That’s according to X user TheBobPony, who says the latest Nvidia drivers (576.40)…

On the off-chance you’re not already aware and are just joining us like Ash Williams in the original ending of Army of Darkness, Microsoft’s official support of Windows 10 will end on October 14, 2025. But rather than a hard cutoff, Microsoft is continuing to blur the edge of this deadline by extending support in…

Just before the Christmas break, I capped off 2024 with a news piece about GSC’s surprise announcement that it would be putting out gleaming “next-gen patches” for the original Stalker trilogy—Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky, and Call of Pripyat—on PC. The studio was maddeningly vague about what the heck that actually meant, though, so I…

After being first announced in April 2024, Tales of the Shire has already made quite a name for itself in the cozy gaming space even a few months away from its scheduled release. Within that year and a bit, we’ve seen a handful of trailers and videos that give us a brief look into the…

A little fun fact I didn’t know until recently: Jason Charles Miller—lead vocalist of Godhead, but more well-known among MMO sickos like me for being the voice behind iconic Final Fantasy 14 tracks like To the Edge, Close in the Distance, and Unleashed from the newest Arcadion raid tier—is the guy who sang Rules of…

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is set to release on July 11, and as we crawl closer to a release date more skaters are being added to the lineup. We’ve even seen a couple of secret skaters get confirmed now too, giving you all the more reason to test your skating abilities in…

A long, drawn-out Helldivers 2 ARG culminated in a major update for the game—one which added new Illuminate enemies, weapon customisation, and a looming threat that will inevitably arrive at Super Earth and threaten the foundations of Democracy itself. I’ve been having a blast so far, even if the new Stringray unit has been a…

For almost as long as we can remember (okay, about three years), the 18A node has been all-important for Intel. Former CEO Pat Gelsinger said he’d bet the whole company on 18A. Indeed, the first 18A chips are due later this year in the form of intel’s next CPU for laptops, Panther Lake. But according…

Users have shown Gigabyte cards are leaking some of the thermal gel used to keep their memory/VRM cool when placed on their side. Igor’s Lab, an expert on all things thermal paste, has gone hands-on to try to explain it, not just to understand why this is happening but also why manufacturers may choose a…
