We’re all trapped in launcher hell. Right now, as I write this, my taskbar trembles with apps: Steam, Battle.net, Ubisoft Connect, the Epic Game Store. In my start menu lurks another nest: GOG Galaxy, Xbox, EA, the Paradox Launcher. To add insult to injury, pretty much every one of them bar Steam will intermittently forget…
In July 2022 Ruja Ignatova, the self-styled ‘Cryptoqueen’ behind a pyramid scheme called OneCoin, was placed on the FBI’s Top 10 Most Wanted list. Accused of defrauding investors of an amount estimated at between $3.6 to 4.5 billion, the Bulgarian-born Ignatova disappeared in 2017. In June last year came a new development: The FBI increased…
A Galaxy of goodies. As expected, Nintendo spent a good chunk of its latest Direct presentation focusing on the 40th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. with a host of announcements both big and small. The platforming icon celebrates his big four-zero on 13th September 2025 and, while we didn’t get the brand-new 3D Mario that…
Give me all the new things! Oh boy, we are so close now, ladies and gents, we can feel it. Can you feel it? There was an absolutely monumental amount of new information, games and hardware to take in during that 60 minute Nintendo Direct. However, we also got a very nice Partner Spotlight trailer…
March was another wild month for PC gaming: extraction shooter Marathon blasted onto the scene, roguelike deckbuilder sequel Slay the Spire 2 dealt some new cards, and the beautiful but unhinged world of RPG Crimson Desert opened up to us. And not only did we play those games, we watched you play those games! Our…
I wouldn’t blame you for feeling like the games industry is in a dire state. Microsoft’s recent layoffs and studio closures are just the latest in a years-long, industry-wide bloodletting where successful game releases don’t provide any protection against corporate downsizing. Things aren’t great at the moment, but legendary shooter designer John Romero says that…
I love the subreddit r/whatisit for a couple of reasons. It’s a fun way to let people use their extremely niche knowledge to identify the unusual items people come across, but mainly it’s chance to see paranoid parents and insecure partners snoop around in their loved ones’ stuff and find what they always assume are…
We live in some odd times when the CEO of a tech company can be seen working crowds, signing autographs, and generally giving off film star vibes, but that seems to be norm when it comes to Nvidia’s Jensen Huang whenever he’s in Taiwan. But it was during one such moment at Computex that he…
Another seemingly legit GTA 6 video surfaced today via Cyberleek, this time showing a couple minutes of high-speed driving through Vice City. The clip (which we can’t link here, but you can probably find it quickly with some web searches) begins with protagonist Jason ditching a pickup truck and carjacking a “Truffade Thrax,” a fancy…
But why? If you’ve played Pragmata on the Switch 2, then you’ll know by now that it’s a pretty solid port from Capcom. Visuals look nice, it performs well, and it’s just a damn good game through and through. But what if you could push the performance even further? Well, as demonstrated by the chaps…
