Time was, you used to have to go places to see videogame events. I’ve been through it myself—a sweltering period in Los Angeles where I spent approximately $6,000 on Ubers and lived off Famous Amos cookies from the hotel vending machine. But it’s the 21st century, and you don’t have to deal with all that….
This is it, unambiguously my Computex highlight and also a genuine surprise. I give you the Alienware AW3926QW in all its 39-inch OLED, 5K2K, RGB-stripe, remarkably priced glory. This isn’t actually the first 39-inch 5K2K OLED on the market. Actually, I’ve already reviewed one, the LG Ultragear 45GX950A, and it actually disappointed a little. That…
The companies that attend Computex love to shove screens on things. Last year, we had tonnes of panels slapped on the side of coolers, cases, and more. This year is no different, but this time, it’s a fairly sizable screen. Gigabyte is slapping almost an entire gaming monitor onto one of its cases. The Gigabyte…
The AI giveth. And it taketh away. Or something like that. I bring you news of conflicting reports around computer sales. On the one hand, new data predicts PC sales will tank pretty badly over the next few years. On the other, Apple is reportedly doubling MacBook Neo production. So, what gives? The PC sales…
Here’s a short tech support horror story for you: you’re chatting with someone—maybe a not very tech-savvy relative—and they tell you, ‘It’s the darndest thing. I bought a whole new computer, and I just can’t seem to log in.’ Because you hate to see them struggle, you agree to take a look. But gazing upon…
Typically-speaking, we wouldn’t be inclined to write about God of War Laufey—not because I don’t want to play the next God of War game (I rather liked the 2018 reboot) but because Sony has doubled-down on console exclusives for the foreseeable, and we are PC Gamer. However, it’s my job to report on gaming discourse….
Last month, I reported on Keychron’s announcement for its new MagOptic hybrid optical-magnetic mouse switches. Following in the wake of the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike, these switches promise analogue tech for adjustable actuation and rapid trigger. Unlike the Superstrike, however, they also have standard optical switches in there, so you can choose between the…
Galax’s Hall of Fame (HOF) range has traditionally been loud and pricey, but its prototype next-gen GPU design at this year’s Computex might be over the top, even for Galax. That’s because its latest design uses Swarovski crystals for a unique look (and presumably a unique look if it ever makes it to market). As…
The Warthog is an unexpectedly bold case design from Corsair. It’s actually inspired by the Vengeance C70, a similarly military-styled case that has long since been retired. The Warthog, however, has all the latest gizmos. Besides its very bold outer shell, which is available in black and olive, the Warthog also comes with a seriously…
The A Heroes Journey update brought Hercules and Phil to Disney Dreamlight Valley, but unlike Pocahontas, the process of unlocking both characters is slightly more complicated. You’ve got five new quests to make your way through before they move into your valley, alongside a shiny new realm to explore. To begin the first quest you…
