Living large Well, it’s about time! We know what you’re thinking, “I’ll jump on the DDR4 memory bandwagon and overhaul my rig as soon as a company comes out with a 128GB kit capable of running at 2,800MHz, and not a moment sooner!” We all pretty much share the same sentiment, right?

Three years on from a legendarily catastrophic launch that jeopardized CD Projekt Red’s once-sterling reputation, Cyberpunk 2077 has completely turned it around. After failing to nab a Game Award for its initial launch (eligible at the 2021 TGA), Cyberpunk took home an award for Best Ongoing Game at this year’s show. Now, I always loved…

Few of us are immune to the draw of retail therapy. While I can quite happily walk through a clothes store without reaching for my wallet once, when it comes to design, I’m a sucker for making inadvisable impulse purchases on a bad day. Which is why, when this customisable macro pad came to the…
