Prolific Skyrim YouTuber Bacon_ (of I love dogs fame, among other videos) has uncovered a real fan service change in Oblivion Remastered—one where it’s naturally hard to tell whether it was intentional or not. The sessionable Khajiiti stimulant, Skooma, has effectively gotten a huge buff. The effects of Skooma now stack up to 22 times…
I’m a firm believer that there are only ever good reasons to play more Crusader Kings, but today even I’ll admit that it’s a better time for CK3 than normal. Right now, to celebrate the release of the new Khans of the Steppe DLC, there’s a 70% sale on the CK3 base game, and the…
Top executives at the companies responsible for World of Tanks are facing pressure from the Russian government, which a RIA Novosti report (Google translated, via Eurogamer) says has accused Wargaming owner Viktor Kisly and Lesta Games owner Malik Khatazhaev of “extremist activities” related to Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine. The Russian government has reportedly seized…
The critical and commercial success of Baldur’s Gate 3, the singleplayer sequel to a decades-old RPG, has led to one unexpected outcome: the emergence of Larian CEO Swen Vincke as some sort of champion of sanity in the games industry. Singeplayer is dead? Arrant nonsense! Wizards of the Coast hassling modders? Step back, fools! And…
The Elden Ring Nightreign PC system requirements are out, and the good news is that if you’re still rocking the same system you used for Elden Ring, you should be just fine. That is perhaps not surprising, given that Nightreign essentially is Elden Ring, by way of Fortnite: “Essentially a standalone expansion,” PC Gamer’s Wes…

It is the year 2025 and Bethesda wants you to tell it how to improve Oblivion. Such is the strange and rich new world we’ve been plunged into by last week’s release of Oblivion Remastered, which fixed some parts of the original game’s jank, lovingly preserved others, and introduced some entirely new bits of its…
Look, I’m not even going to mess around with a creative intro on this one. The world’s largest zip manufacturer, YKK, has made a remote-controlled, motorised, self-propelled zip, and it’s glorious. See how it connects a pair of 16-foot membrane sheets together in seconds (via The Verge). Marvel at it zipping up two halves of…
Manor Lords has been in early access for about a year now, and while that may not feel too long at all, the medieval city builder has come a long way from its impressive beginnings. And apparently, it still has a long way to go. “There’s still lots to do, and while I’ve been working…
It’s hardly news that game controllers are used in modern warfare, as the compact, multi-buttoned devices have been used by armed forces for remote applications for years. However, with the rise of the use of drone attacks in the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, the UK government has decided to implement further export restrictions…
