A new study has made the curious finding that memes with AI-generated captions are, generally speaking, found to score higher for creativity, humor, and “shareability” than those captioned by humans only, as well as humans in partnership with AI. The one bright spot: Humans did overall create the most exceptional memes. But not enough, fleshbags….

It has been exactly one year since we published news that Larian was done with Baldur’s Gate 3. You’d be forgiven for forgetting, given that the studio has released one patch and seven hotfixes for the game since then. But wait, there’s more. Yesterday, Larian announced that it’s got a third stress test update for…

There is no single display technology that does everything well. That’s an objective fact and something the stupendous, incredible and delightful new Acer Predator Z57 does absolutely nothing to change. Along with the closely related Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 G95NC, this is one of if not the most spectacular gaming monitors available today. And yet…

As much as I like getting friends sat down around a table, I breathed a deep sigh of relief when it was announced that tactical dungeon crawler Gloomhaven was coming to PC, due to the tabletop version being a terrifyingly huge (and expensive) obelisk full of smaller boxes, each containing innumerable smaller, easily lost pieces….

“We are now running production silicon in Arizona.” So says none other than Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. Exactly what silicon? How many chips? Hold those thoughts. The term “production silicon” is a significant upgrade from previous confirmations from Nvidia that it merely had plans to make chips at TSMC’s factory in Arizona. Likewise, “production silicon”…

Bad news for Nobunaga and his ambitions: Assassin’s Creed Shadows has parkoured past 1,000,000 players in under 24 hours. Naturally, Ubisoft immediately bragged about it on social media. It’s not even 4PM here in Canada and Assassin’s Creed Shadows has already passed 1 million players!Thank YOU from the bottom of our hearts for joining this…

It’s the 2025 Game Developer’s Conference, and one of this year’s most interesting talks was delivered by Monica Harrington, a founding member of Valve and the company’s first chief marketing officer. Harrington’s career has been very much on the business side of software development but, way back in Valve’s early days, she suddenly realised “there…

I’ve long been of the opinion that you don’t necessarily need a set of gaming-specific speakers for great gaming audio. That probably sounds rather counterintuitive, I know, but unless you’re prepared to run the cabling nightmare that is a 5.1 system around your gamer cave, a good set of regular speakers has long been my…

When chimp-and-rat buddy horror adventure Animal Use Protocol was first announced late last year, I felt fear. Not the good kind that tiny South African indie outfit The Brotherhood had so well cultivated with their Stasis point-and-click adventure series, but worries that shifting to a real-time, first-person perspective would ruin the perfectly unpleasant vibes the…

Silent Hill 4: The Room may not be my favorite Silent Hill, but it’s far from the worst and it occupies an important place in the series—it’s the last one Team Silent worked on. So it’s always been a shame the PC version is incomplete, missing stuff that was in the PlayStation 2 version. Until…
