Someone decided to drop a live hand grenade in the Path of Exile subreddit yesterday when they posted a screenshot of one of the most incredible collections ever amassed in gaming. Somehow, some way, user Present-Plankton-734 has put together a complete set of every discontinued or altered item that’s ever been released in the game,…
I’ve been patrolling the halls of CES 2025 on the lookout for anything weird and wonderful. Lo and behold, a keyboard inspired by a loaf of bread. Perfect. Job done, I can go home now. It’s the ‘Bun Wonderland’ from Monsgeek, which isn’t a company I’m too familiar with but turns out it’s actually Akko,…
It may have been one of the worst kept secrets in gaming hardware, but Lenovo’s new Legion Go S is still real exciting. That’s not only because this plucky handheld gaming PC packs one of AMD’s new Z2 Series processors but also because it’s available with SteamOS installed. The Legion Go S and Legion Go…
It wasn’t long after the first series of Squid Game aired that we started to see its unsubtle anti-capitalist message twisted by the very types of people it attempted to skewer, and just as quickly came the takes mocking the executives, marketers and corporations for their lack of self-awareness. But as ever, the joke is…
The 6v6 vs 5v5 debate has been going on in Overwatch 2’s community ever since the FPS changed format a couple of years ago. The loud minority of the fanbase has been calling for Overwatch 2 to return to its 6v6 roots, a cry that was ignored for over a year until the game director…
Chances are that, like me, you’ve been unable to escape the chorus of ‘This is an Xbox.’ This insistent marketing campaign touts the cloud-based future Microsoft is striving for with Xbox, moving away from the console-based core of yore towards a platform that can play with almost any stage. Well, it’s time to add one…
One Elden Ring player who goes by chickensandwich420 decided to start the monumental task of taking on Messmer from Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree every single day with a new weapon and without getting hit until Elden Ring: Nightreign releases (via TheGamer). “Originally, I was gonna do different FromSoft bosses from all games (since,…
As epistemological endeavours go, the philosophical consideration of what, precisely, constitutes an actual PC monitor as opposed to a mere status screen is indeed a noble calling. Which presumably is why Corsair has cooked up this slightly silly new 14.5-inch display, the new Xeneon Edge—for the sheer intellectual giddiness of it all. Anyway, clocking in…
Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector is releasing at the end of the month, January 31—and as someone with a vested interest in the first game, I’m downright excited. The series’ creator, Gareth Damian Martin, has found a way to bring the vibes of a smaller-scale indie TTRPG to a videogame not once, but twice now….
Goodbye rasterization, hello neural rendering. To complement the launch of the GeForce RTX 50-series at CES 2025, Nvidia has announced an updated RTX software kit for developers, with APIs for neural rendering—shaders, materials, and texture compression, and more performance in ray traced games. The tech won’t be in games just yet but at least we…
