Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor launched in 2001 amidst the isometric D&D resurgence powered by the success of the Baldur’s Gate games. Alas, it did not fare quite as well, because—bluntly—it wasn’t great. It faded into memory fairly quickly, recalled occasionally by die-hard fans of the genre and not many others, but never…
It’s been over a month since the summer PC Gaming Show aired. I may be biased, but I loved it. We had more world premieres than ever before, some shadowdrops, and got deep dives into the mind-bending Control Resonant, galaxy-spanning Total War: Warhammer 40,000, and tactical PvP looter Arkheron. You can catch up on the…
Just over a year after Lucasfilm, the production company bearing his name, declared creative bankruptcy with a risible display of AI-generated ‘aliens,’ George Lucas has offered his take on the tech. It’s, ah, well it’s not great. In a chat with A Rabbit’s Foot (via Kotaku), Lucas alighted on the topic of other directors’ hostility…
Mail delivery is a thankless job. No one notices all the hard effort that goes into sorting through mountains of boxes, parcels, and letters to get deliveries ready on time. Oh, but I drop a couple of dozen boxes in the sea and suddenly I’m bad at my job? Everyone’s a critic. But someone’s gotta…
The Steam Machine might have turned out to be a disappointment (mostly down to its price), but the Steam Controller remains a very useful thing. Should you be the tinkering sort, the OpenPuck project doubles down on the Steam Controller’s Swiss Army Knife-like tendencies, allowing it to emulate Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation controllers. The…
Have you noticed that things have been kind of quiet on the Ubisoft front lately? Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is doing quite well, but what else has it done for us lately? Where’s the new Far Cry? What’s going on with Ghost Recon, The Division, Prince of Persia? Where is my Splinter Cell? In…
Earlier today I reported that Chinese memory makers, such as CXMT, are ramping up their production big time, and are set to run hot on the heels of Micron in output even by the end of this year. But hold up, don’t get too excited, because the same research that produced those figures also predicts…
Back when Dragon’s Dogma 2 released, getting somewhere was a hassle. I, myself, had one of my journeys utterly dismantled when my ox cart was ambushed, destroyed by my own pawn’s ill-advised spell, and summarily attacked by a gryphon that stole me miles away from my original location. That was somewhat addressed in a June…
Display manufacturer BOE has started mass production at its new OLED plant, an 8.6-generation-panel-producing behemoth said to be the first of its kind in China. The plant will produce 10 million OLED panels this year alone, according to FlatpanelsHD, and significantly more in the second year of its operation. The plant took just over two…
Finding Ancient Bone in Palworld is rather tricky if you haven’t clocked that each of the three ancient materials come from the wildlife sanctuaries dotted around the islands. These areas are easy to recognise because of the big shield domes protecting them, but that does mean you have to sneak about and avoid their protectors…
