PC Gaming
As we roll towards Computex, and hopefully a whole bunch of PC gaming hardware announcements, I can’t help but get excited about talk of entry-level components. Probably most of all, I’m excited about the prospect of an (as-yet uncertain) AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT announcement which will hopefully rock the entry-level graphics card segment. So…
Generative AI has gotten its deep learning tentacles into many parts of gaming life, and tabletop is no exception—take Dungeons & Dragons for example. While Wizards of the Coast has endured controversy after controversy for accidentally putting AI art in sourcebooks, and has a generally anti-AI stance, Hasbro’s CEO Chris Cocks has been on the…
The 27-inch 4K OLED market has been the media darling since CES 2025 so you’d be forgiven for forgetting the good ol’ staple 34-inch OLED ultrawide. Funny because it was Alienware’s fantastic AW3423DW that kicked off the OLED gaming monitor race a few years ago. Gigabyte has quietly dropped its first OLED ultra-wide, the Gigabyte…
Turtle Beach’s budget gaming headsets fuelled my childhood years of yelling at friends on Call of Duty, but there’s a reason I haven’t touched them in a while. In my experience, poor audio quality, flimsy builds, and mediocre microphones proved to me (or more so, my mum) that putting just a little extra cash in…
World of Warcraft, in a huge move for a 20-year old MMO, has just announced plans to slowly, but surely, phase out its combat add-ons in favour of building that functionality into the main game. The sky’s not falling just yet, mind, and these plans aren’t set in stone, but there’s a possible future in…
Birds fly, the sun shines, water is wet, and Bethesda games get unofficial patches. There’s Morrowind’s Patch for Purists, the Yukichigai Patch for New Vegas (an Obsidian game, but Bethesda’s engine down to its bones), even a Community Patch for Starfield. This is an immutable law of the universe, and not even wrapping original Oblivion…
OLED panels are seriously stunning and the technology is one of the few that I really, really hope becomes increasingly attainable for more PC gamers. But there are still flaws with OLED monitors (and no, I’m not talking about the problem of astronomical pricing). There’s the potential risk of burn-in and, more to the point,…
I was recently in the market for a new ereader and decidedly wary of staying in Mr. Bezos’ walled garden. Besides that time in 2009, when Amazon remotely deleted George Orwell’s 1984 from devices due to a rights issue, more recent news has also given me pause. For example, did you know that as of…
Black soul gems are an incredibly rare enchanting item in Oblivion, though their rarity is matched by their power, so you’ll want to get your hands on as many as you can. Plus, if you’re completing all the Daedric questlines, you’ll also need a black soul gem to start Vaermina’s quest. The good news is…
Are you going into battle in Oblivion Remastered? Do you need the potion seller’s strongest potions? Are the potion seller’s potions too strong for you, traveller? Do you even have any idea what I’m talking about? If you do, and you’ve been playing any Oblivion Remastered recently, you might want to pop into the console…
