May is finally upon us, and that means three things: The weather is starting to suck less, Canada’s oldest official holiday is approaching (happy birthday, Queen Victoria), and it’s time to catch up on what’s happening with Skywind, the mega-mod that seeks to recreate Morrowind, the greatest Elder Scrolls game ever, using the newer technology…
PVKK, or Planetenverteidigungskanonenkommandant if you’re particular, is a game we’ve been eagerly awaiting: It was named one of our most anticipated games during last year’s PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted rundown, largely by virtue of how badly we want to fiddle with the many deliciously tactile switches, levers, knobs, cranks, and buttons it offers for…

I’ve seen a few different versions of the “snail assassin” or “immortal snail” or “snail hunting you down” meme over the years, but it looks like it originated from an episode of the Rooster Teeth podcast back in 2014, where the question was basically this: Would you take $10 million dollars, but an immortal snail…
Gaming mouse fiends like me have gotta love Elo Shapes—if not for its handy-dandy hardware comparison tools, then for the heads up on a new challenger entering the arena.
