PC Gaming
Here’s a truly budget PC case, and one that has impressed me with just how good it looks, considering its cost. This here is the Thermaltake S100 TG Snow Edition, and that’s just a fancy way of saying it’s a white PC case with a tempered glass side panel. With its price being one of…
Solving each mystery in Destiny 2‘s new The Edge of Fate expansion is a great way to get Tier 2 gear, as it’s guaranteed to drop from each chest you open. The only caveat is that you’ll need upgrades acquired on Kepler to open these ability chests. If you don’t have said upgrade, you’ll get…
I’ve done plenty of yapping about Haru Urara this week, the beloved Japanese racehorse who lost every single one of her 113 career races. Both the real Haru Urara and her anime counterpart in Umamusume: Pretty Derby have been feeling all of the love since the game launched an English version in June, introducing her…
You know what they say: If you want something done properly, do it yourself. Two brothers-in-law based out of Saline, Michigan, appear to have taken this principle to heart—as, after having had their fill of relying on Comcast for their high-speed internet, they’ve started an ISP of their very own. After becoming frustrated with the…
AMD’s Strix Halo APU with its outsized integrated graphics is of debatable benefit for PC gaming (more on that in a moment). But apparently Intel still wants to take on AMD in the uber-powerful APU market with a variant of its upcoming Nova Lake generation of chips. So say rumours emerging today. It started with…
The Hyper 212 is a legend. I was still in school when it first came out—the early 2000s, I believe—and it’s remained an undying recommendation for some PC builders ever since. I’m not surprised it’s still around either, being a cheap and capable cooler, though I am surprised Cooler Master is still able to find…
Like most people of my age, my first ever PC came with a mouse that was decidedly less than pleasant to use. The ball and rollers, used to track movement, would constantly get all gunked up, sending the cursor to have random attempts at screen freedom all the time. It was also heavy, loud, and…
Devs are biting their nails over a new Steam rule that prohibits—in painfully vague terms—certain kinds of content on its platform. The new rule (seemingly introduced incredibly recently, and definitely introduced since the Wayback Machine’s last Steam rules snapshot from April 14 this year) forbids “Content that may violate the rules and standards set forth…
I don’t like change. When I first heard that Mojang decided to end the yearly summer Minecraft updates and do away with the controversial mob vote, my initial reaction was to deny it was even happening. Then, when my friends told me that this was our new lived reality, I got angry. I tried bargaining…
In 1998, Trespasser: Jurassic Park: The Lost World revolutionised gaming forever by slapping a health bar tattoo on the protagonist’s boobs, forcing you to stare down at her cleavage in order to discern how close to death you were. Videogames have been too cowardly to ascend to such heights since—limiting their powers to some visible…
