Have you ever gone to plug in your USB Type-C cable to extend your display, ready for the glory of a second monitor, only for nothing to happen? Well, there’s a good chance it’s because your USB port isn’t quite capable of doing so. Microsoft is implementing a new system to try and stop this…
What’s the craic? I’ve become a little wary of the plethora of gorgeous retro pixel-art RPGs that keep popping up in recent years. I’m talking about the games that are inspired by classics such as Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy, and EarthBound, or sell themselves as spiritual successors. These often look the part, sucking me in…
There’s something to be said for a company that knows its lane, stays in it, and seriously dominates it. That describes Noctua in the fan lane: Big fans, small fans, quiet fans, brown fans, cream fans, more brown fans, you name it. So it both is and isn’t a surprise that Noctua is working on…

Raptor Lake chips self-destructing, Arrow Lake disappointing, and Pat Gelsinger getting the boot (sorry, retiring) were just some of the low points from last year. However, it wasn’t all gloom and doom as it turns out that…
Giant statues broadcasting a mysterious code, monks telling me to open my throat chakra, an ominous symbol added to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and now: a laptop displaying ancient Slavic text dropped into a middle of a landfill and a Johnny Silverhand-themed Wolfenstein 3D clone that unlocks a secret server farm. This is a…
World of Warcraft’s next expansion is right around the corner, which means it was about time for Blizzard to drop a new cinematic. Sure enough, we got our first look at what’s going on in WoW: Midnight during the Gamescom Opening Night Live show, and it’s a lot of elves with abnormally long eyebrows. The…
