Part of my hardware fiend origin story involves watching the anime Serial Experiments Lain at far too young an age and being haunted by its prescience ever since. The total amelioration of digital and physical worlds aside, I still daydream about customising my login screen to look more like the fictitious OS from the show—though…
Crimson Desert is a game with an incredible amount of variety—in my preview before the game launched, I called it a combat sandbox, and have been comfortably vindicated ever since by the ingenuity and style of the game’s playerbase.

When did Bethesda become, you know, Bethesda? That is, when did it become one of those game companies whose every release becomes a ginormous public event? Morrowind? Oblivion? Fallout 3? None of those, if you ask former Bethesda marketing VP Pete Hines. In an interview with Firezide Chat, Hines said the studio’s first true “Holy…
Last month, YouTuber Major Hardware, otherwise known as James, created “The Fanjattan Project“, a single fan made up of many tiny fans. Now, they’re back with the same basic idea but much, much larger, with a huge fan named the Superdome. And fan maker Noctua even agreed to help out. The idea was to make…
