This weekend’s Elden Ring Nightreign network test may not include us PC players, but that won’t stop me from watching from the sidelines with a bucket of popcorn while the servers proverbially burn. And also, you know, installing the thing on my own PlayStation 5 to give things a whirl, only to find myself totally…
Sometimes, in this topsy-turvy PC hardware world of ours, a rumour turns up that really makes us scratch our heads. This week, it was rumblings about a 32 GB variant of AMD’s upcoming RDNA 4 graphics card, the RX 9070 XT. You can rest easy in your beds tonight, though, because AMD’s Frank Azor has…
Good news for fans of amassing huge numbers of PDFs they’ll never read on an external hard drive (me): Humble Bundle has a load more to sell you at a relatively negotiable price. The Pathfinder Kingmaker Bundle contains 53—count ’em—separate bits of Pathfinder Kingmaker TTRPG stuff, mostly tabletop corebooks, sourcebooks, maps and knick-knacks, but also…
I’m old enough to remember a pre-YouTube era, where children played happily in the fields and everyone wore fetching hats to church. Now, though, it’s a staple of so many of our lives, mine included.

A new Kickstarter collaboration for Deep Rock Galactic has been launched, and it’s for “high quality mugs.” You won’t believe how high quality these mugs are. The project is being managed by Scorched Steel Industry and involves replicas of the in-game dwarven mugs. “The DRG Special Beer Mug: a beautiful and safe-to-drink-from pint mug, designed…
As part of Overwatch 2’s big rework, every hero will be getting a set of perks—unlockable upgrades that can be chosen throughout the game. Every hero has different traits, but there’s one throughline that some players hope means an end to counterswapping. Counterswapping is a pretty contentious subject in Overwatch. The actual definition is when…
It’s probably not the smartest approach, but I spend most of my time in Dark Souls games running from one boss to another, hitting my head against a wall until it finally clicks and I figure out a way to dodge their attacks and land my own. It’s not very pretty but I didn’t see…
I’ve seen pretty much everything in this industry over the years. And, yes, that does include a man eating his own head. But Intel and TSMC going into the chip foundry business together? Sorry, what? This rumour, and it very much is a rumour, comes from an equities analyst at investment bank Baird who cited…
Although I had an excellent time with Hyper Light Breaker at last year’s Summer Game Fest, the game’s had a rough go of it since hitting early access a month ago. The game currently sits at a 63% Mixed rating on Steam, with players put off by tech trouble, issues with the controls, and the…
