We’ve been reporting on toasted AMD AM5 CPU sockets for a while now. Back in April, a Reddit thread catalogued over 100 dead CPUs. AMD then told us, “Following a joint investigation, AMD and ASRock identified a memory compatibility issue present in earlier BIOS versions, which has been rectified in the latest BIOS.” However, in…
There’s nothing quite like a good videogame map, whether you just like to sit back and take in the view or claw your way through cracks in the wall on the hunt for collectables. And in the case of NCsoft’s upcoming MMO FPS, Cinder City has both, well, if you find time to admire the…
Of the many things that keep me awake at night—tinnitus, climate collapse, the fourth coffee of the day, man’s inhumanity to man—none is more pressing than the continued and inexplicable absence of Beamdog-style Enhanced Editions for Fallout 1 and 2. I don’t ask for much: just versions of the classics that run out-of-the-box at modern…
Windows 11 has picked up a fair bit of ire, and for understandable reasons. In the last year alone, we’ve seen reports of undeletable caches and some SSDs not playing nice with the software. Well, if you want a “purely AI” alternative from the man who ruined Twitter, Elon Musk has a bridge to sell…
Borderlands 3’s story is… interesting. As someone who has played most of Gearbox’s loot’em shoot’ems, I agree with the general consensus that 3’s story is kinda the worst. Mind, I’ve never hopped into Pandora’s (or its associated moons’) deep narrative—but after hours of outdated memes, when a certain character sacrificed themselves to Beyonce’s “This Girl…
Over 20 years later, it’s almost time to sneak back into the Soviet-controlled jungle in the long-awaited MGS3 remake, confusingly called Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. Whether you’re looking to relive old memories or experience MGS3 for the first time, Delta: Snake Eater brings a bunch of great changes over the original, from improved…
I didn’t expect one of the main highlights of my time in and around Gamescom to be gaming monitors—I thought it might be handhelds or keyboards—but the presence of so many high refresh rate panels changed that pretty sharpish. Left, right, up, down, forwards and backwards: there they were, those incredibly snappy panels. During an…
You know those random-branded monitors you see on Newegg or Amazon? The ones that look like stellar value on paper? Are any of them actually any good? Or are they somehow fundamentally flawed and therefore ultimately a waste of money? In the case of the KTC H27T22C-3, at least, I can answer that question. At…

MORGAN PARK, STAFF WRITER (Image credit: Future) Last week: Got all sappy about the server browser and got very close to downloading Quake. The Battlefield 6 beta got its hooks into me and my friend group in a way few shooters can, and I know that because we’re spending the 46-day wait for its release…
