We've come a long way with liquid coolers. The first generation was known for being loud and at risk of causing a puddle in your PC. While the latter is a slightly unfair reading of the upcoming tech at the time—a leak was uncommon and my ancient Corsair H100i is still going strong—the first part isn't. Older liquid coolers make a lot of noise, and a big part of that...
Two months in, Assassin's Creed Shadows continues to trundle along quietly in the videogame background, presumably quite pleased with itself for pulling in a bunch of players and making such good use of its delays that Ubisoft now wants to delay a whole bunch of other stuff. The game's 1.0.5 patch released today, bringing a new quest, some tweaks 'n' fixes, and—for reasons I am still turning over in my...
Cache co-creator Shawn "FMPONE" Snelling has announced that Valve has bought the map outright, following its addition to the CS2 Workshop in early March, and a mention in the background of the game's latest update.

Not so,...

In addition to Grief — a competitive survival mode for Zombies that hasn’t been playable since Black Ops 2 — season 4 of Black Ops 6 will also introduce its usual seasonal slew of new maps, modes, and weapons. The season will...

If Disney wasn’t already rethinking its Disney Plus streaming business before the gargantuan four-day holiday-weekend opening of Lilo & Stitch, it certainly will be now. The live-action remake — originally intended to bow on Disney Plus — crushed at the U.S. box office, grossing $183 million over the Memorial Day weekend (with a haul of over $304 million worldwide). It’s a staggering number for a Disney character who has, through...
Fifteen years after Emmy-winning Samurai Jack, Primal, and Star Wars: Clone Wars creator Genndy Tartakovsky sold his raunchy animated comedy Fixed to Sony, the movie will finally be released on Netflix on Aug. 13.
