With over 600 hours sunk into Baldur’s Gate 3, Larian’s superlative fantasy RPG, I’ve got to get my new run kicks from somewhere (am I right, or am I right?), so for my latest assault on the Elder Brain, I decided to do a pure solo Durge draconic bloodline tiefling from the lower planes. The…
No, the ROG Kithara is not the gaming headset to solve the cost of living crisis. It is a joy to listen to your games and music with, though, and a genuine curiosity in a crowded market. You don’t need one, and neither do I, but let’s sit awhile anyway and enjoy what ROG and…
Astarion from Baldur’s Gate 3 is certainly up there in the hall of fame of killer RPG companions—not just because he’s literally a killer as a vampire, but because he’s a nuanced, complicated character performed by a very talented actor. It’s no shock that Neil Newbon, who played him in Larian’s finest, received awards for…
A lot of my favourite games ever made fall under the expansive rubric of “eurojank.” Stalker, the first Witcher, Mount & Blade—the list goes on. But maybe it’s a little unfair to confine the jank phenomenon exclusively to Europe. After all, what is 2004 RPG Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, which is still getting fan…
Top rate. Ahead of the release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie on 1st April 2026, the voice actor for the newly-confirmed Fox McCloud has been revealed.

It’s instead the moment that the more value-oriented brands start to throw it into everything. Mechanical switches, Hall effect triggers, and now TMR. Heck, we’ve even seen TMR implemented in keyboards like the Cherry Xtrfy…

Other than the AI bubble bursting or hype dying down, the other thing that could allow the RAMpocalypse to ease off is a technological change that leads to a dramatic reduction in how much memory AI needs. To that end, Google has cooked up TurboQuant, a new compression algorithm that promises to reduce memory demand…
Even by the standards of Warhammer 40,000, the planet Armageddon is a seriously awful place to live. Currently enjoying its third all-consuming war against near-unstoppable invaders, it is at this point so blighted and irradiated that humans can only survive inside artificial habitats—that is, until they get bombed into dust by Orks during yet another…
