PC Gaming
Yes! Hahaha, yes. I’m in full-on sickos.jpg mode today with the announcement of 17 new tags being added to the Steam store, with the very first entry on the list canonizing the name for what has become one of the most popular PC game genres in recent years. That’s right: the genre birthed by Vampire…
A single skill tree upgrade in Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred has sent its most loot-hungry players into a frenzy. In one click you can gain more power than Blizzard probably intended, covering the ground in so much loot the game can’t handle it. Lord of Hatred’s new activity skill trees let you customize the…
If you’ve had your eye on the Subnautica 2 discourse for the past few days, you already know it revolves around a single topic: to kill or not to kill? Long story short, players want a way to fight back against hostile sea creatures like Nibbler Mangos and Hammerheads, pointing out that the original Subnautica…
Since Subnautica 2’s cetacean-sized early access launch last week, a contingent of its players have been vocal about their frustration over their inability to retaliate against its predatory sea life with their own lethal intent. Subnautica 2 devs at Unknown Worlds haven’t been swayed by those complaints, urging players to seek out one of the…
Elon Musk has lost his case against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman for the very boring reason that he took too long to file the complaint. Musk sued over OpenAI’s pivot from nonprofit to for-profit (via a complicated restructuring scheme that has still technically kept a nonprofit in play), claiming that its leaders committed unjust enrichment…

In a not-so-alternate alternate timeline, actor Matt Ryan may well have ended up playing a growling, sweaty pirate on Black Sails, the improbably stellar 2014 TV series prequel to Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic novel Treasure Island. He would’ve been a good fit for it. But in this reality, he instead ended up playing the lead…
Ken Levine recently sat down with IGN to have a retrospective chat about his career, and naturally one of the big touchstones was the series he’s best-known for: Levine co-directed Bioshock and was the sole director on Bioshock Infinite. At one point Levine is asked if it was tough to leave Bioshock behind after the…
Last week, Best Buy sent emails to affiliates that teased a May 18 kick-off for Grand Theft Auto 6 preorders. The emails were presumably sent in error, but that didn’t necessarily mean that the date was wrong: If GTA 6 is on target for its November 19 console release date, it wouldn’t be shocking for…

Every other week, I cover topics relevant to first-person shooter enjoyers, spanning everything from multiplayer and singleplayer to the old and the new.
