Turtle Beach's budget gaming headsets fuelled my childhood years of yelling at friends on Call of Duty, but there's a reason I haven't touched them in a while.

World of Warcraft, in a huge move for a 20-year old MMO, has just announced plans to slowly, but surely, phase out its combat add-ons in favour of building that functionality into the main game. The sky's not falling just yet, mind, and these plans aren't set in stone, but there's a possible future in which your WeakAuras and such will no longer work.That doesn't mean Blizzard's taking the axe...

In the latest batch of Andor episodes, we get to see Cassian (Diego Luna) do something he’s never done before: dress up. He’s been in disguise before, and certainly incognito as the (immaculately named) Keef Girgo. But Cassian’s spy work so rarely takes him to upscale establishments; even around the rarefied air of Coruscant, he’s still just sporting a nice jacket with an ample hood so he can hide. So...

In the wake of the abrupt sunsetting of Concord last September and the news this past March that Sony has begun backing up its PS5 game builds as part of its larger ongoing preservation efforts, the simultaneous ephemerality and invaluable cultural legacy of video games has seldom been felt more than it is now.
