Let me use this introductory paragraph to make two horrible confessions. The first: I am one of perhaps several people worldwide who use Microsoft Edge as my default personal browser. Second: My use of Edge means I sometimes accidentally use Bing, Microsoft’s Google-but-worse, whenever I search for something in the URL bar. I could go…
Once, when I was in China, a Danish colleague of mine got invited by a business-type to attend some kind of fancy high-powered conference. Thinking it’d be a novel experience at least, she agreed, only to find herself on-stage, in a suit: a deer in headlights presented to shareholders as an exec from a foreign…
Last year we reported on a phenomenon that, frankly, left PC Gamer’s editorial team a little baffled. We were in one of our morning meetings when someone shared Banana, a free-to-play game available on Steam where you click on an image of a banana, but what was mind-blowing were the player counts. This was in…
Nobody would deny that big tech requires huge investments to kickstart them and keep the ball rolling, but at some point, multi-billion dollar expenditures require some kind of return before they become a lost cause. In the case of Microsoft and AI, that’s not something being considered, as the software giant plans on spending $80…
LocalThunk, the developer behind Balatro, decided to start off this new year by calling out all his 2024 highlights, with the biggest award of all going to Billy Basso for his wonderful pixel art metroidvania Animal Well. “My very prestigious Golden Thunk award for Game of the Year 2024 goes to Animal Well,” LocalThunk says…
Squid Game has only been in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 for a few days now, and despite my initial thoughts that players would appreciate a new batch of cool skins, it seems that some people aren’t that happy. “Anyone else sick of these damn skins,” Call of Duty player btrosCuPoJoE says. “Not to…
While Intel’s latest Core Ultra 200S series of processors hasn’t been setting records for gaming performance, they were the first chips on the block to support the newest tech in the RAM world, CUDIMMs. And now Corsair has released its first clock driver RAM sticks, with speeds of up to 9,600 MT/s. If you’re wondering…
As loyal PC Gamer readers will know, Tamriel Rebuilt is the noble Morrowind modding effort to create every region of the game that Bethesda didn’t get to. Even after nearly a quarter-century, there’s still plenty of the province to get to, and the project’s current “optimistic” ETA is 2035. You might think, then, that its…
A frankly absurd Magic The Gathering collection has been put on-sale, but us mere peasants need not apply. Listed as “1st Edition Magic The Gathering Artist Proof Set” the first line of the seller’s description kind of says it all: “This is not a joke.” The lot consists of 302 cards that are all first…
World of Warcraft is, broadly speaking, decently supportive of its UI modding community—for better or worse. While I’m a fan of cobbling together WeakAuras and the like, and the practice of UI addons has kept the game afloat without updating its UI for almost 18 years, it’s also led to an arms race of sorts….
