Apple’s relentless in-house silicon release schedule continues this week with the announcement of the new M5 chip. And early leaked benchmarks of the chip suggest the new M5 is about twice as fast as the original M1 for single-thread performance. So, the question is, why can’t PC CPUs make those kinds of gains? The immediate…

I’ve made no secret of my penchant for purple. So, it likely comes as no surprise that I’ve been pining after the Gengar Razer Kitty Kraken V2 headset since it was first announced (ghost type Pokemon are some of my favourites, and it’s not just because they often adhere to my carefully curated colour scheme)….

Disney Dreamlight Valley‘s next DLC, Wishblossom Ranch, is scheduled to release on November 19 and a new trailer shown during the 2025 Showcase stream has given us a more in-depth look at some of the features and characters coming. Although its brief reveal trailer welcomed us to the new setting, there’s now more than enough…

I think we can all agree that the creeper is one of the most iconic videogame enemies—next to the murloc, the goomba, and whatever the hell’s going on with the tonberry.

This week I’ve been: trying to unlock every weapon in Battlefield 6 before Season 1. Battlefield 6 may still be fresh from the oven, but it’s already…

I suppose it’s no real surprise that state-to-state cyber warfare is ongoing—probably every minute of every day—but for us regular folk it can be disconcerting to be reminded of it. And the very serious possible consequences. Case in point this breach of a cybersecurity provider that provides networking software to tons of big companies and…

Disney Dreamlight Valley hosted its 2025 showcase stream on October 15, and shared what free updates the game can expect for the rest of the year. This includes our first detailed look at the next release, The Winter Ball, which will be launching on December 10. We already had an idea of what, and more…

I do not envy PC game developers—any videogame that actually releases at all is a miracle, the result of the combined work of (in the case of big studios) hundreds of people to convince a fancy rock to not only think, but to run an entire simulated world on hardware they cannot predict. Battlefield 6‘s…

Disney Dreamlight Valley has given us a glimpse at the first set of updates coming in 2026 during the 2025 Showcase stream, and there is a lot to look forward to even before we’ve finished this year’s update cycle. Of course, we haven’t seen any characters, but the three images shown on the roadmap give…
