PC Gaming
Good thing the days are looking longer around here, because I’m going to need my full stamina bar and an irresponsible 2am bedtime to keep up with the cozy game launches in June. The calendar may not look as long as the list from May yet but just you wait until we clear the first…
We recently got an update on the next Minecraft film, A Minecraft Movie Squared, during Minecraft Live over the weekend, and in it we saw some familiar faces, a couple of teases, and heard about the upcoming build competition. “We’re so excited to be back in beautiful New Zealand shooting the sequel to A Minecraft…
With Asus’ ROG brand turning 20 years old this year, it has announced a whole pile of fancy black and gold gaming gear at Computex. Its new 82 g mouse is just as fancy as you’d expect and comes with some truly outrageous specs. Called the ROG Harpe II Extreme Edition 20, Asus’s new gaming…
Under the leadership of Pat Gelsinger, Intel tried to compete against Nvidia and AMD in the AI market with its Gaudi series of GPUs. However, with little in the way of sales, it looked like the chip giant would just give up. It turns out that this is not the case, because it’s trying again,…

For instance, fire up…
With the RAMpocalypse doing its very best to ruin PC gaming, with memory and storage now ludicrously expensive, the handheld market has struggled to keep things affordable. Acer’s solution to all this is simple: bin everything needed to play games locally, and just make a streaming device instead. Officially called the Nitro Blaze Link, Acer’s…
As hardware goes, graphics cards can be on the heftier side. Asus ROG’s Astral cards were already a case in point, but the company has just unveiled an anniversary edition well-deserving of the two C’s in ‘thicc’. During this year’s Computex, Asus announced the ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 Edition 20. The GPU isn’t only CHONKY,…
It’s been a long time coming, but we finally have sight of Nvidia’s very own Arm-based CPU. And as if to remind us it’s not all a fever dream, we have sight of some actual laptops that will feature the chip, like the MSI Prestige N16 Flip AI+. The first thing you’ve probably noticed is…
