Football Manager is one of those games that now feels like an institution. I play the newest entry and, even though it’s a much-improved and more sophisticated experience, I am still in some sense a teenage boy at a beige PC with my treasured copy of Championship Manager 97/98. I’ve been playing some version of…
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth isn’t coming to PC any time soon—but there are signs of hope, which means I’m allowed to be hyped for it, and definitely won’t get burned by a year-long wait. Especially not after finishing the FF7 Remake last week. (I’m hoping if I write this down, it’ll become real). Until then…
Working out how to destroy Fuel Silos and Rogue Research Stations in Helldivers 2 is a bit of a challenge at first. Should you use the explosive barrels scattered around the area? Do you use a grenade? Or even an Orbital bombardment? Luckily, the game gives you everything you need to blow up these structures…
For any who didn’t play the original, the sheer number of Stratagems in Helldivers 2 might seem a bit overwhelming. There are so many different flavours of destruction that you can bring to bear on the battlefield against bugs and bots that it’s hard to know what you should prioritise spending your precious credits on…
Ever wondered what the perfect memory chip would be like? Well, it would have to be faster than the best DRAM, store data for decades at a time so it could be used like flash memory, and use less energy than both for high efficiency. That might sound like a pipe dream but a team…
Helldivers 2 has been suffering from success—a whirlwind launch that’s now PlayStation’s biggest PC success led to a swarm of server issues bugs, and not the kind you can shoot dead with a beam rifle. Regardless, ambushed developer Arrowhead seems to be taking things in stride and, as PC Gamer’s own Fraser Brown notes: it’s…
Remember the story from last week about the image of a revolver and map of Texas, etched into one of the layers in AMD’s old K7 chips? Not surprisingly, it isn’t an isolated example of silicon shenanigans, as uncovered by a fan of chip easter eggs shows in an awesome compilation of processors, controllers, and…
Even if we don’t get a Windows 12 release this year, the Windows 11 24H2 update is shaping up to be a big one. With AI all the rage, and both AMD and Intel integrating AI specific hardware into their latest CPUs, AI assisted applications are definitely going to appear thick and fast. Microsoft is…
Just in case you weren’t already aware, AI is big business. Nvidia dominates the red hot AI market, with the company now valued at over 1.7 trillion dollars, making it the world’s 6th largest company by market cap, and it’s on track to overtake Amazon and Alphabet (Google) sooner rather than later. It’s mostly achieved…
“It doesn’t get much worse for a multiplayer launch”, Fraser Brown wrote on the release of Helldivers 2, mentioning issues like “broken matchmaking, frequent crashes, and a kernel-level anti-cheat system that everyone hates.” The developers at Arrowhead have been working to rectify the issues, and according to an update from CEO Johan Pilestedt, three hotfixes…
