World of Warcraft, in a huge move for a 20-year old MMO, has just announced plans to slowly, but surely, phase out its combat add-ons in favour of building that functionality into the main game. The sky’s not falling just yet, mind, and these plans aren’t set in stone, but there’s a possible future in…
Birds fly, the sun shines, water is wet, and Bethesda games get unofficial patches. There’s Morrowind’s Patch for Purists, the Yukichigai Patch for New Vegas (an Obsidian game, but Bethesda’s engine down to its bones), even a Community Patch for Starfield. This is an immutable law of the universe, and not even wrapping original Oblivion…
OLED panels are seriously stunning and the technology is one of the few that I really, really hope becomes increasingly attainable for more PC gamers. But there are still flaws with OLED monitors (and no, I’m not talking about the problem of astronomical pricing). There’s the potential risk of burn-in and, more to the point,…
I was recently in the market for a new ereader and decidedly wary of staying in Mr. Bezos’ walled garden. Besides that time in 2009, when Amazon remotely deleted George Orwell’s 1984 from devices due to a rights issue, more recent news has also given me pause. For example, did you know that as of…
Black soul gems are an incredibly rare enchanting item in Oblivion, though their rarity is matched by their power, so you’ll want to get your hands on as many as you can. Plus, if you’re completing all the Daedric questlines, you’ll also need a black soul gem to start Vaermina’s quest. The good news is…
Are you going into battle in Oblivion Remastered? Do you need the potion seller’s strongest potions? Are the potion seller’s potions too strong for you, traveller? Do you even have any idea what I’m talking about? If you do, and you’ve been playing any Oblivion Remastered recently, you might want to pop into the console…
Byterunners, the developer behind Drug Dealer Simulator 2, has said it “would not pursue any legal action against Schedule 1 in any shape or form” if it was the one in charge of calling the shots. In case you’re not caught up, Schedule 1 has been popping off since it launched in late March. It’s…
I hate lockpicking in Oblivion Remastered. I hate the stupid little tumblers with their stupid speed variations and my stupid slow reaction times as I invariably miss the stupid sweet spot. As someone who loves Skyrim’s lockpicking, I was about to completely write off any attempts at going around cracking every door and chest in…
There used to be a time when you’d log in to your Windows 7 machine, and have enough time to go fetch a cuppa as it thought about actually letting you past the welcome screen. Well, it turns out my younger self’s retina-burning mauve desktop background may have been to blame. Though many preferred Windows…
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is the tale of Oda Nobunaga’s quest to defrag Japan, and in tribute to the daimyō’s relentless ambition, Ubisoft has announced its post-launch roadmap for the game consisting of patches, feature drops, and “height-gaining back ejects,” which videogames need more of as a general rule. It looks like Shadows is set for…
