I like an impressive polygon count as much as the next guy, but for my money, fantasy worlds are best brought to life by top-down, 2D tile graphics. In the words of my colleague Josh Wolens, “We don’t need graphics. The most powerful GPU of all is the mind.” It’s why I’ve dumped countless hours…
12 years after its original release on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Grand Theft Auto 5 is now legal to purchase and own in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The game was given a surprise 21+ rating in June by Saudi Arabia’s General Authority for Media Regulation and the UAE Media Council,…
A great look, easy setup process and even a hanger to pop your coat on. What can’t the Flexispot OC3 do? Well, I’m sorry to say the answer is: leave my posterior without pain after a long day of work. The kind of pain that popped up isn’t something I spotted immediately. In fact, it’s…

And one of the reasons why is surely the dominance of TSMC when it comes to manufacturing chips for the likes of Nvidia, AMD and, latterly,…
Nothing brings to light the spookily anarchic nature of the international order more than cyber warfare. It’s happening all the time, in that ethereal realm of bits and bytes—poking, prodding, testing. We might picture this as state agencies tampering with other state agencies, but the reality is often far from it, as demonstrated by a…
When it comes to image quality, the latest FSR 4 iteration of its upscaling technology definitely made AMD highly competitive with Nvidia’s DLSS. But game support? Not so much. Which is why the OptiScaler tool is so handy. And so vexing when it comes to AMD itself. OptiScaler has been updated so that it now…
I remember the first time I looked into a kaleidoscope as a kid, it was so strange and disarming to me that I threw up a little bit, and then it was confiscated by my parents. Sad, but probably for the best. It’s a memory that I pushed so far down I’d almost entirely forgotten…
