Like just about everything MrBeast does, his show on Prime Video, Beast Games, was big. The Squid Game-like show in which 1,000 contestants competed for $10 million became Amazon’s most watched unscripted series ever, with 50 million viewers in the month it began streaming. That $10 million cash prize was the biggest in game show…
Announced in October 2024, Pathologic 3 promises to blend the notorious weirdness of the Pathologic series with a new twist: Time travel, enabling players to “revisit key events and alter them” in hopes that things will turn out slightly less awful than they did the first time around. We still don’t have a release date,…
The opening hours of Monster Hunter Wilds are a shotgun blast of new information for returning hunters. Before I had even a handful of hunts under my belt, Capcom had dazzled me with cool quality-of-life upgrades like Seikrets, base camps, weapon holsters, makeshift camps, and seamless quest creation. “This is so much faster,” I thought….

What’s in an inch? We’ve already got the great Framework 13 laptop, so why does the company believe the world needs a Framework 12 laptop as well? Well, it’s not just a smaller version of its current machine, this is a new touchscreen convertible notebook, but one that’s been specifically created to be an entry…
I’m not sure which I’m most excited about, the idea of a whole new kind of Framework machine, or the fact the company is actually going to make available a Strix Halo motherboard for us to tinker with. On the one hand, a small form factor Framework Desktop is a cute idea, though it is…
Krafton has confirmed another round of layoffs at Callisto Protocol developer Striking Distance Studios, but says it remains operational and that the cuts will not impact any projects currently in the works. The layoffs were first reported late last week by multiple former employees on LinkedIn: One said “most of the devs were laid off,”…
Now that The Sims 2 is kinda-sorta playable again on modern machines, you might expect it to be perfect right out of the digital box; its rich simulation of the modern day-to-day (circa 2004, anyway) is among the best you can find. But let’s just lay it out there: these sims are a bunch of…
