I recently sat down for an interview with Amelia Tyler, the voice of Baldur’s Gate 3‘s many, many lines of narration. We talked about the Dark Urge, her favourite lines, and scaring the crap out of carers at an old people’s home (hypothetically). But we also spoke about mental health, a subject Tyler’s very transparent…
As with all emergent tech, AI has been an absolute rollercoaster. We’ve gone from funky deep-dream psychedelia and crunchy robot voices that sort of sound like Spongebob to a legal and ethical minefield. While it’s been used for some cool stuff, like DLSS upscaling, it’s also, uh, been used by the UK government for welfare…
A personal catastrophe has recently befallen me. My trusty old chair, an ancient behemoth of gaming comfort that has seen far more of me than I would comfortably like to admit, has finally given up the ghost. It sits now, befallen in the corner, a shell of what it once was. The pneumatic lift has…
Black Friday officially starts on November 24, though many online retailers have already kicked off their holiday sales, and you’ll be sure to see lots of great PCs and components with big discounts. When it comes to solid state drives (SSDs), the good news is that you can get some fantastic ones for very little…
Star Wars: Dark Forces is the latest nineties’ PC gaming classic to receive an overhaul from remastering maestros Nightdive Studios. But as this month’s PC Gamer magazine reveals, LucasArts’ shooter has proved unusually challenging from a technical perspective. Speaking to PCG’s print editor Robert Jones, Nightdive’s project lead on Dark Forces explains the game features…
You there, at the back. Stop sniggering. That isn’t what it looks like, its an important artifact from ancient Herculaneum, okay? And it’s just been decoded by something almost as elderly, but significantly less crappy; none other than an Nvidia GTX 1070. How so, you cry? The rather unprepossessing lump shown above is actually a…
Despite lending his likeness to Homelander’s guest appearance in Mortal Kombat 1, actor Antony Starr has seemingly confirmed that’s where his involvement ends. The Boys actor won’t be providing any voice work for the character in NetherRealm’s fighting game, as noted by Twitter account UppercutLLC. When asked on Instagram if he would be voicing Homelander…
Ken Levine, best-known for System Shock 2 and Bioshock, is not one for social media. Levine was the co-founder of Irrational Games and led the development of that studio’s varied output in different creative roles for almost two decades, before the experience of developing Bioshock Infinite led to the studio’s total restructuring as a much…
Locating a Mercenary Convoy in Modern Warfare 3‘s new zombies mode is a bit of a trial. While completing story missions for the mode, you’ll be tasked to find and wreck one of these motorcades as part of the Interceptor mission, but there’s no real info about their location. Even though destroying a convoy counts…
I’m an old man. I’ve created many an autoexec.bat and config.sys file in my life, vividly remember plugging in my first 3D accelerator card with pass-through cables through a Matrox Mystique GPU, and have benchmarked practically every graphics card released since 2006. And the appearance of this gorgeous new Galax graphics card (via Videocardz) this…
