Bethesda RPGs are so big and take such a long time to develop that there’s naturally a lot left on the cutting room floor, leaving them to be discovered by modders and given a second life. One such dropped idea was Skyrim’s fully dynamic civil war, co-lead designer and former Elder Scrolls loremaster Kurt Kuhlmann…
The chilled-out extraction shooter Arc Raiders was one of 2025’s surprise hits, and for my money is a game that works because it gets so many small things right. The length of runs is perfect, there’s the perfect amount of distractions to regularly pull you away from the best-laid plans, and the exhilaration of making…
Masters of Albion is coming in April, and after that designer Peter Molyneux says he’s done: It will be his last game ever. Whether that holds up over the long term remains to be seen, but his promised retirement from the industry has also triggered the end of one of the best and longest-running videogame…
The budget gaming laptop sector is booming, as the CPU and GPU gains of the last few years are trickling down nicely and you can get a very fast frame rate at 1080p for a lot less than you’d pay for something like an Alienware 18 Area-51. You’re not getting quite the same level of…

Kurt Kuhlmann, the longtime Elder Scrolls “loremaster”, hasn’t revealed why he left Bethesda in 2023 after more than 20 years—until now. His departure didn’t make headlines but it rumbled those who know the series best. Michael Kirkbride, who worked alongside Kuhlmann on Morrowind and Oblivion, wrote at the time that “Kurt was the best writer…
Monster Hunter Wilds is somewhat infamous for its performance woes, leading its Steam user rating to drop to “Mixed” since release thanks to a host of reported technical issues. However, redditor de_Tylmarande recently posted a potential fix—a homebrewed mod that skips a DLC check, which is said to massively boost performance. They claim to have…
I’ve been utterly obsessed with Warhammer 40,000 lore videos recently. You may not think learning about the 19 extra organs Space Marines have would help lull me to sleep, but it does. I’m jumping on the Warhammer bandwagon at a great time, because the recently announced Total War: Warhammer 40,000 just hit an impressive milestone;…
After a rough few years, Intel has clearly been hoping for better times, and it’s fair to say that the official launch of Panther Lake at CES 2026 was a major step in the right direction. However, while all the attention was focused on the new mobile chips, the distinct lack of anything about an…
Ah, QPAD, my old friend. For those unaware of the brand, it isn’t just your average third-party attempt to replicate mainstream offerings for cheap. QPAD has been around for a long time, and back in the day it was somewhat of a leader in gaming peripheral tech. In the early 2000s, I recall its mice…
