PC Gaming
Modern PC gaming may not be the most energy efficient hobby. Even as someone who would sooner play yesteryear’s favourite over this month’s shiniest new game, I dread to think just how much smaller my electricity bill might be if it wasn’t for my gaming rig. Thankfully for retro gaming fiends, energy efficient hardware isn’t…
No one knows how to haunt the narrative quite like Overwatch’s two misfits, Roadhog and Sombra. When these heroes are strong the game sucks for everyone else, but when they’re nerfed for the sake of everyone else there’s almost no reason to play them. This has meant that both characters are in a perpetual state…
It’s rough out there, trust me, we know. And there are few signs that things are improving, in fact all the noise from across the globe, from almost every memory company and chip producer, is that it’s only getting worse.

The last time an Overwatch hero captured my heart like this, I ended up maining an old sniper for almost a decade, so I think I’ll be seeing a hell of a lot of Overwatch’s newest hero: Doctrine. Unveiled at Blizzcon over the weekend, Doctrine is the newest addition to the Support roster (alongside Sombra),…

A nonviolent RPG, in tune with the values of the Looking Glass games he worked on in the ’90s, about a young American woman searching for her missing uncle in Eastern Europe.

World of Warcraft has a long-standing tradition of datamining and min-maxing. So it should come as no surprise that, despite only just being shown at Blizzcon, World of Warcraft: Forever now already has online talent calculators available, assembled from a delightful tapestry of streams and ravenous info-gatherers.
