As we’ve discovered time and time again, someone’s hatred for the classic videogame yellow paint rarely ever outweighs their need for it.

“You are what you eat,” the old saying goes, and it’s an adage that the Kroot are a lot more committed to than most. Among the crowd of iconic Warhammer 40,000 armies—your space marines, orks, tyranids, and more—these bird-like aliens are often overlooked. But I think they’re secretly the coolest faction in the game. They’ve…
One of Arc Raiders‘ best features is your bestest boy Scrappy, a friendly rooster that’ll scavenge for crafting materials while you’re busy.

World of Warcraft‘s Legion Remix has been proceeding about as expected. That is, to say, a fun little romp through a beloved expansion where Blizzard has had to nerf elite farming, because if there’s one thing a WoW player loves doing, it’s optimising a grind so hard it requires intervention. Remix is also a novel…
Late last year, we reported on controversy surrounding NZXT’s “Flex” PC rental scheme.
