If you’re looking for Refined Carbon in Abiotic Factor, that’s probably because you’ve finally made it to Cascade Laboratories. Cascade is one of the meanest, most dangerous, and downright fascinating wings of GATE. It’s also a location you’ll be returning to often, as it’s host to an infinite supply of Refined Carbon (one of the…
I’ll just get it out in the open: Abiotic Factor is one of the greatest survival crafting games ever made, and by far my favorite. It’s an easy declaration to make because, unlike most games I’ve put a score on, I’ve had a lot of time to think about this one. NEED TO KNOW What…
We’ve all been calling the next yet-untitled Battlefield game “Battlefield 6” these last few months, which is great luck, because that’s officially the name. EA dropped the news in an X post alongside a fresh piece of artwork and a trailer date: “BATTLEFIELD 6. July 24. Reveal Trailer.” The art is done in the traditional…
Hellraiser’s twisted puzzle box has spawned a whopping 11 films, loads of comics and a TV show is on the way (allegedly). But until now, videogames have been left out—with the exception of main antagonist Pinhead’s appearance in Dead By Daylight. Thanks to Saber Interactive, that’s about to change. Saber’s just unveiled Hellraiser: Revival (or…
Capcom’s had enough of all those players going around in Monster Hunter: Wilds, having fun, and not opening their wallets. It wants some microtransaction money and it wants it now. And so, dear reader, it has deployed the most dastardly tactic of all: swimwear. That sound you hear is millions of hunters groaning as, almost…
Ubisoft recently held its annual shareholder’s meeting, an event at which CEO Yves Guillemot has to take questions about the publisher’s successes and failures. One of the latter is perhaps surprising, because Star Wars Outlaws is a pretty decent Star Wars game, and has benefitted from considerable post-launch support—it just didn’t do the numbers. One…
Well, this is a first for me: Software for a gaming mouse from the manufacturer’s own site had, for a while, been compromised with XRed malware. Igor of Igor’s Lab first noticed the reports coming in about the Endgame Gear OP1w 4K V2 configuration tool on the MouseReview subreddit. The reports suggest the tool had…
I never bought into the bitcoin boom, at least back in the day. In 2011, many would have told you your trousers were on backwards if you dropped over 50 grand on the then-ailing cryptocurrency, and I listened to said trouser-judgers. Crypto was a flop, bitcoin was dead in the water, and many of us…
OpenAI consumes compute capacity like few have ever done before it. A recent report expects it to gorge itself on datacentre capacity and research between 2025 and 2030—burning cash at a rate of swimming pools per minute by some estimations. The Information reports that OpenAI is chasing fresh investment to allow it to expand its…
There are many things that have kept me from joining the crypto hive-mind up until now: mild scepticism, lack of knowledge, confusion, laziness. I never pegged SSD longevity as being on that list, though. Until now, that is, because one popular crypto wallet extension is apparently writing an inordinate amount of data to and from…
