Working out how to pickpocket in Crimson Desert might have you a bit stumped. After all, the system in this game is very different to any I’ve seen before—you can’t simply sneak up behind someone and have a rummage about in their rear compartment. Nope, there’s a trick you need to pickpocket beyond simply crouching…
The Super Mario Galaxy movie released to some shaky reviews; most critics have slammed the sequel for “having no centre”, being only “a series of large, vaguely connected explosions”, and simply “a way of gouging cash out of families.” But all the awful reviews of the sequel aside, CEO of Illumination Chris Meledandri is still…

Competitive gaming mice aren’t for everyone. In fact, I’d go as far as to say they aren’t for most people. Part of that is their often prohibitive price; most won’t even get anything out of the milliseconds they can shave off reaction time with higher polling rates, greater DPI, and more accurate actuation.
