You’d expect nothing less from a Minecraft-inspired crafting RPG created by prominent Minecraft modders, but Hytale already has a large collection of mods available from day one of early access. Honestly, it’s hard to go wrong when picking the best Hytale mods right now, and just like the vanilla experience, it’s only up from here…
In this age where AI threatens to do everything for us, robbing the human race of agency, is there a certain masochistic appeal in intentionally and needlessly making something much more complicated and manual than usual? That’ll a be a huge, 50-storey, fully-carpeted yep according to YouTuber DocJade. He decided that installing and running the…
The Elder Scrolls Online‘s going through a big shift—with subclassing falling somewhat short and a difficult year for Zenimax in the rearview, its developers have decided to shake things up. Going from a yearly “chapter” formula to a seasonal structure where, in a recent conversation I had with executive producer Susan Kath and game director…
I’ve used videogames to be antisocial at family gatherings many a time—but I’ll always have a soft spot in my cold, black heart for the 1992 Addams Family pinball machine at one family friend’s abode. As much as I enjoy Space Cadet 3D Pinball, Pinball FX, and more recently Ball x Pit, I do miss…

However, you won’t have access to Memories immediately. You’ve no doubt seen…
Even if you’ve put hundreds or even thousands of hours into other blocky survival crafters, you’ll still be left dumbfounded at what all the items in Hytale can do, despite the similarities. If you’re anything like me, your natural instinct will be to immediately start hoarding every new thing you find and inevitably fill up…
You’d think that getting the simple stuff like leather in Hytale would be a breeze. You’ll quickly find out that’s not the case, as you need three different types of leather—light, medium, and heavy—to craft a whole bunch of invaluable items and upgrades, like the backpack. So that you’re not running around for an hour,…

Having written about games and hardware for over a decade, believe me when I say an even slightly candid interview is a rare treat. As such, Kyle Hansen’s live-streamed, down-to-earth chat with memory manufacturer Patriot’s marketing manager Shannon Robb about all things system memory was a particular delight during CES 2026. As entertaining as Robb…
