PC Gaming
I’m calling it here—this is as bad as it’s gonna get. Insomniac’s Wolverine has been getting slapped around a fair bit because it’s perhaps the summit, the zenith—of ‘how much handholding can you put in a game before we all get sick of it’. And listen, I’ve actually defended yellow paint on this site before….
My God, they’ve done it. We’re finally in the era when videogame movies can actually be good. Not just good for a videogame movie, or “It’s good, but here are 50 caveats.” It’s simply brilliant. And Resi’s lovably feckless protagonist Bryan is the primary reason. But before I dive in, I need to warn you…
This appeared on my X feed this morning and it’s been bouncing around in my brain since I saw it. Titled as the “first $100,000 RAM kit” it caught my eye. The first thing to note is that this is, inevitably, server grade memory, and 2 TB of the stuff as well. It’s DDR5-5600 of…
You do not, as a rule, see studios respond to rumours, reports, and speculation, but a recent Bloomberg report that Sony dropped Physint, Kojima Productions’ upcoming stealth game, because it was overbudget and kept missing deadlines must have rankled the studio a little, because it released the statement above yesterday to quell fears.

WoW Forever is basically my first time experiencing Blizzard’s MMO for a significant amount of time—that level 13 Paladin rotting away on my retail account for the last eight years doesn’t count—and you know what? Even as someone who isn’t rocking around Azeroth in rose-tinted glasses, I’m having a pretty sweet time. I even surprised…
The hardware landscape of 2021 feels like a distant world. Case in point this past week, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said that talk of an AI-induced extinction event for humanity is overblown and “not grounded in science.” Huang’s comments were in part responding to claims made earlier this month by ex-Anthropic researcher, Jacob Coxon, saying…
A new version of SteamOS for Steam Frame has just landed. The company has fixed a few issues with the VR headset following its launch last week, which I’ll get to in a bit, but one change stood out to me in the patch notes: Valve has added “substantially faster charging while unit is off…
Take a look at most modern PC gaming setups, and you’ll find some RGB lighting somewhere. Blazing LEDs and PC gaming have gone hand in hand for what feels like generations now, but I want to know where you stand—are you down with the RGB clown, or does the whole neon-lit endeavour make your stomach…
World of Warcraft: Forever has a new two-name system, given it’ll be taking place on one big megaserver—which has a few advantages, like making sure you can typically get your chosen first name without the sheer volume of players snapping it out from under you. Naturally, being a bunch of silly geezers, WoW players have…
