Something that struck me surprisingly early on into my Crimson Desert review playthrough is how long I could go without running into any enemies. Bandits sparsely scattered around, one or two bears lurking in the shadows ready to rip me to shreds, and later some shielded soldiers who seem to at least roam in larger…
As I outlined recently, keeping track of all the various OLED panel generations from LG and Samsung is a Herculean, perhaps even Sisyphean, task. But one half of that seemingly ceaseless job just got a lot easier thanks to a couple of new cheat sheets released by TFT Central. The first is basically a table…
My faithful PC lives right next to me, here on top of my desktop. It goes up and down with my sitting/standing desk, without me having to worry about whether the cables are going to stretch and pull the power at any time. And I can gaze lovingly at its carefully crafted insides, and the…
Across the globe, gaming PC and laptop prices are soaring. Price hikes are due to a number of factors, but the memory supply crisis caused by the AI industry’s bottomless appetite for RAM and system storage is one major contributor. For most consumers, that means hoping the hardware you already own doesn’t fail before prices…

Watching paint dry is drab. Tired. Boring. Watching half a dozen virtual lil’ guys chisel away at a big hunk of stone to turn it into a statue? Now that’s entertainment, baby. Crimson Desert is a lot of game, both good and bad—it’s ambition and scale cut with frustration and bizarre design choices. For every…
Bug Spray. Pokémon Champions launched yesterday in a… less-than-perfect state. Fortunately, it looks like The Pokémon Company is working on a fix. Even if we put aside the limited available Pokémon and Items at launch, the game was quickly criticised for the sheer number of bugs on display (and no, we’re not talking about Beedrill…
Minor Microsoft SNAFU detected. Turns out it has been shipping Xbox controllers without batteries for months (via Neowin). Belatedly, Microsoft is now compensating customers by sending out a rechargeable battery kit, plus a USB Type-C cable for free. Xbox controllers are actually a little old school in having a user-accessible compartment that takes plain old…
I’m not one for snap judgments, but when this keyboard first crossed my desk, I couldn’t help but wrinkle my nose. My initial ire centred on the plastic construction and the pricing. To be fair to this 65% gaming keyboard, it’s a sturdy bit of kit with minimal flex that also offers TMR switches. That…
