Fire at Will. As a mischievous omnipotent being once said, Star Trek isn’t about mapping stars and studying nebulae, but charting the unknown possibilities of existence. The voyages of the starships Enterprise et al. are journeys of self-discovery. It’s about the people we meet on those strange new worlds and what they teach us about…
Captchas have been making me want to spoon my eyes out for years, so praise be to Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch who’s just yeeted a Doom captcha into virtual existence (via Hackaday). Since it was made open source, the 1992 shooter has been designated a veritable “can you run it” of potato hardware, finding its…
Do Kwon, the South Korean crypto baron and fugitive, has been extradited to the United States after going on the run in late 2022. Kwon was the man behind the company Terraform, which ran the cryptocurrencies TerraUSD and Luna, both of which collapsed in 2022. That sparked a contagion in the wider crypto market, and…
Less than a year after being shuttered by Microsoft, Hi-Fi Rush studio Tango Gameworks is officially back from the dead. The resurrected developer, now owned by Krafton and operating under a very-slightly-changed name, announced “a new start” in its first post on X since revealing its surprise closure in May 2024. “Tango Gameworks studio has…
I’ve only just finished the second season of Squid Game, but it looks like I won’t have to wait until season three for my next fix of twisted gameshows and gunmen in pink suits, as Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s upcoming collaboration has that covered. The Squid Game crossover in Black Ops 6 begins…
All punch’d out. We don’t know about you, but amongst all of Nintendo’s game series, Punch-Out!! rarely sits at the top of our revival wishlist. Don’t get us wrong, we’d absolutely bloomin’ love a new entry, but we’d honestly rather see the likes of F-Zero and Chibi-Robo! make their grand return on the Switch or…
It seems like only yesterday that the Valve Index launched—all 800+ grams of it. And what a different world we live in today, because we can now look to a not-too-distant release of a more technologically impressive VR headset that weighs less than 200 g. That’s according to Pimax, whose upcoming Dream Air VR headset…
Woof! If you have played The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask over the past 25 years (and, if you’re reading this, we’d wager that you have), then you likely will have engaged in a spot of lighthearted gambling at Mamamu Yan’s Doggy Racetrack. The rules of this cute minigame are simple: choose a dog, place…
There are certain, well, certainties in life. Death and taxes are two of them, while the fact that Half-Life 3 is probably never coming is a fitting third. Despite a bevvy of occult rumours and whisperings, prayers and sacrifices to the periodic table have never borne fruit. Silksong, for all its despair and mania, can’t…
CES 2025 is fast approaching, and while we’re sure to see some exciting new tech unveiled at the event, MSI and ASRock seem to be jumping the gun and showing us some of what they have in store already. And what they have are some blisteringly fast gaming monitors. ASRock has announced two 520 Hz…
