Nvidia RTX 50-series cards are about as ephemeral as Casper the ridiculously expensive ghost right now, with stocks having dipped to nigh-on zero within a few minutes of launching last week. One might even say they’re as rare as gold. So, Asus says, how about we add some more rarity to your rare so you…
Not two days ago I came to you with the befuddling news that ZA/UM—the studio whose name is still on Disco Elysium even though the game’s chief creative talent have all left—was selling a $165 carrier bag based on the one you can get in the game. This was confusing to me, conceptually. I wasn’t…
For years, we PC gamers have had it easy. No, really. Not quite as easy as console users, perhaps, but we could be reasonably sure that any software we tried to run was written for the processor architecture inside our box. And that’s because there was only one: x86, as championed by Intel and AMD….
It’s 2025 and somehow we’ve still yet to see a Twitch stream happening from space—until next week, that is. NASA has announced it’ll be doing a livestream a whole 250 miles from Earth aboard the International Space Station, on Wednesday 12 February. The stream will be happening on the official NASA Twitch and is set…
Let me set the scene for you: there I am, lounging around while playing the office Steam Deck when suddenly it happens. Maybe my replay of 1000xResist has shocked me anew, or maybe there’s just something in my eye, but my grip on Valve’s handheld loosens for just a moment and before I know it—WHAM!…
As much as is it displeases me that every week seems to be ‘let’s rag on Intel’ week, it’s hard not to keep bringing up the company’s utter failure to bring its manufacturing up to scratch when big dogs like Bill Gates keep talking about it. At least Gates isn’t ragging—he’s offering a sombre lament….
EA’s CEO, Andrew Wilson, recently voiced some bizarre criticism of Dragon Age: The Veilguard during a quarterly financial call. He suggested that the game struggled because it didn’t have any live service components. EA did announce that The Veilguard underperformed, even if expectations were perhaps set a little too high, but blaming this on the…
Everyone is talking about Nvidia these days. The gaming graphics card company, turned datacentre company, turned AI company, turned Wall Street darling… even my Nan asked me about them recently. But today is not Nvidia’s day. Nope, this build is powered by AMD and Intel parts, working in total synchronicity. You might be surprised to…
EA’s latest quarterly financial call saw the execs wearing something of a hairshirt, with CEO Andrew Wilson having to cop to the underwhelming sales of Dragon Age: The Veilguard alongside the “temporary underperformance” of EA Sports FC 25. “Q3 was not the financial performance we wanted or expected,” said Wilson, adding that despite “performing in…
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the second game in the classic RPG remake trilogy, is finally playable on PC. To celebrate the release, Square Enix has made three feathery Chocobo Steam Decks for UK-based charity Special Effect to give away. ‘In-KWEH-dible,’ indeed. Special Effect is primarily known for their work crafting bespoke control set-ups for those…
