Setting the record straight Hola, a popular VPN add-on for browsers, found itself bathed in hot water recently after it came to light that it had inadvertently sold users’ bandwidth to a botnet. Users were understandably pissed off that their resources were funding something malicious, and some users didn’t understand that by using the free…
“Q1 2024, on the Super Nintendo”. NES ROM hacker and port specialist @infidelity_nes has revealed his next project: bringing the original Mega Man to the SNES. This is the same hacker who ported Metroid from the NES to the SNES, with amazing results – so it bodes well for Mega Man fans. Read the full…
Doom the movie has a rating of 18% on Rotten Tomatoes, which puts it on the same tier as Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance and the Assassin’s Creed movie. Which is unfair. Assassin’s Creed was terrible because it thought it was clever, drily dumping conspiracy theory-history with a straight face, while Doom was gleefully dumb,…

This is handily what Corsair promises to do with iCUE Link, combining all my cables into a single hub and offering to control my components…
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from my time on the internet, it’s that you never, ever challenge a speedrunner. They live for challenges. Baldur’s Gate 3 is so open-ended it nudges into immersive sim territory—which means that its speedrun tactics have been suitably hare-brained, and runner Mae has been at the centre of them…
NCsoft is working on a “modern reinterpretation” of its Blade and Soul MMO called Blade and Soul Neo, a remaster that promises a range of visual enhancements, gameplay updates, and a way for fans to “re-live that pure MMO action fantasy experience they once knew.” Blade and Soul Neo will follow the storyline of the…
