Diablo 4 may still have some fans on the fence but, next to Diablo 3, its launch can only be seen as a rip-roaring success. Diablo 3 arrived mired in controversy over its real-money auction house, always-on requirement, then launched with one of the most infamous bugs in history (Error 37), and an endgame that…
Look, I’m not going to lie to you, this is very stupid. So stupid that it might be very important? No. But it has produced some truly spectacular screenshots, and I’ll be good and goddamned if I don’t gin up some excuse to show them to you. I’m talking, of course, about The Dr Pepper,…
I don’t have the kind of deep pockets to really get into trading card games—but I do like watching the meta fluctuate from afar. Disney’s CCG has been of particular interest, because weird strategies keep emerging around obscure characters like Hiram Flaversham. Or in this case, anti-strategies that you have no good reason to use….
JEDEC is a standards organisation that’s been responsible for laying the foundation for RAM clock speeds and timings for decades. In the case of DDR5, the most recent version of double data rate memory for PCs, the default speed is 4800MT/s and that’s to ensure full compatibility with all AMD and Intel CPUs. However, Patriot…
The US Supreme Court has ended the legal battle between Apple and Epic, for now at least, by refusing to hear either side’s appeals in their long-running dispute over iOS store policies (as reported by Reuters). Apple had appealed against a lower court’s ruling which ordered certain changes to iOS policies, while Epic had appealed…
You know that scene at the end of the Scott Pilgrim movie where he’s having to do the whole Chaos Theatre shtick a second time, breezing through security with just a couple of punches and some hurtful words? It was kinda badass, and that’s how I felt after a couple of hours into Turnip Boy…
After a lot of teasing, Prison Architect 2 has finally made a break for it. The sequel to Introversion’s 2015 (or 2012, if you count its first alpha) build-a-prison sim—now handled by Double Eleven—will release on March 26, and everyone’s a lot less flat than they used to be. I mean that literally. Where the…
The RTX 4070 Super is the first of Nvidia’s refreshed Ada GPUs to hit the market, with another two on the way this month. We’ve covered the new chip in depth in my Nvidia RTX 4070 Super review of the Founders Edition, but we’ve also got an overclocked version to play with, here in the…
In the battle for sales of graphics cards, there are only three combatants: AMD, Intel, and Nvidia. Unfortunately, it takes years to develop a GPU so when one of them launches a new product, the opposition is rarely in the position to fight back with a similarly new chip. But what they can do is…
Aside from a big step up in sequential throughput speeds, seemingly the common denominator for the latest PCIe Gen 5 SSDs is the need for beefy active cooling to rival an RTX 4090. Well, almost. But not so with the new Sabrent Rocket 5. Sabrent reckons it’ll do just fine with one of those slim-line…
