Overwatch 2 Season 19 has brought a whole host of new cosmetics, challenges, and even events. Just in time for Halloween, old events like Junkenstein’s Revenge and Wrath of the Bride will be coming back, alongside a new event: Haunted Masquerade. Instead of having the usual PvE experience that holiday events often have, Haunted Masquerade…
Now, I’ve only had the new Asus ROG Xbox Ally X in my hands for a few days now—thanks to delays in shipping and fun with NDAs—but I’m surprised by just how much I do like it. Maybe I shouldn’t be that surprised, given how much of a fan I was of the original Asus…
The whole external graphics card thing is one of those technologies that sounds super appealing, but tends to fall down on practicalities like price and performance. But I gotta admit, this new Kickstarter-funded eGPU dock based on Thunderbolt 5 is incredibly slick and has enough features that you could almost view the eGPU bit as…
Ever wanted to break into a rival wizard’s tower and just fuck shit up? Well, then, do I have the game for you. Yapyap is the new co-op horror game on the block, managing to rise above the mountains of Lethal Company-likes thanks to its ingenious use of proximity chat, wizards, and fire. Featured as…
If the past few weeks of being battered around the ears by calls to upgrade Windows 10 wasn’t enough, the final cumulative update for the operating system might be a final reminder of why to do so.

I tend to share my colleague Ted Litchfield’s philosophy when it comes to remakes. Do what you want (though I prefer reinvention to a one-to-one remake), just don’t kill access to the original. It doesn’t seem like too much to ask for: the kids get to play a version of a classic, I get to…
Borderlands 4 has had some time to brew in the public consciousness, and the general consensus—one I agree with—is that the story is just… fine. If anything, it’s a little too middle-of-the-road, but given my key enjoyment of the game has a lot to do with the shooting and very little to do with the…
A thing about me is: whenever I’ve tapped over into third-person mode in a Bethesda game, it’s been a horrible mistake. It simply feels like the wrong way to play those games, like one of those mods that crowbars VR-support into games designed to be played on a flat screen—a novelty, but not something I’d…
Even though OLED gaming monitors have been around for a good while now, I still get asked whether they’re really as good as everyone says they are and if they’re really worth buying. My basic answers to those questions are usually ‘Yes’ and ‘Yes’. Let me explain. For many years, my primary display was a…
an insane number of RTX 5090s spotted in China from r/pcmasterrace Current US export restrictions have it that the RTX 5090 isn’t allowed to be sold to Chinese customers, as this would be giving a competitor too much powerful tech. That’s why Nvidia makes and sells a cut-back version of the GPU to China—first the…
