An unlucky former Rockstar animator has made themselves the new temporary focus of Grand Theft Auto fans, after posting a demo reel of their work on various company titles to Vimeo. The two-minute reel includes finished scenes from the likes of GTA5 and Red Dead Redemption 2, alongside various one-off animations with Pixar-style cartoon characters,…
Another day, another round of bad news regarding the ongoing RAM shortage and rising PC hardware prices. TrendForce reports that the NAND flash wafer supply is getting worse, which will directly impact SSD prices, and it already has. How long will it take for those price changes to trickle down to the consumer market? And…
Some Arc Raiders players have been desperately searching for a way to identify and punish evil players, to warn others that they aren’t to be trusted before any more blood is shed. Some dabbled with the idea of virtual sheriffs, while others took to naming and shaming on Reddit, but now they’ve taken to using…

There were some very eye-catching photos, too. Players bravely adopting such creativity mere weeks into Arc Raiders’ life—a game where terrifying robots and other…
Windows 11 adoption has been slow for many different reasons, from hardware constraints to people just not wanting to do it. Both valid reasons, I think. But today’s File Explorer tests prove that there’s more to it than that—Microsoft simply still has some work to do to make Windows 11 as good as it can…
Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser—freed from the mysterious and press-sceptical chains of his former company—has once again manifested on a podcast. Or, actually, on national UK radio, which is what they used to call podcasts back during the war. Houser popped up on Virgin Radio UK to chat with host Chris Evans (not that Chris Evans)…
Did you know that the Wayback Machine is currently archiving web pages at an incomprehensible rate of 150 TB of data each and every day? Oh, and that it’s located in a church in San Francisco?
