An electrician once told me that turning your computer off and then on again uses more electricity than just leaving it on for hours, an oversimplification if not an outright lie that I believed for years. While it is true that turning your PC off and on puts wear and tear on the components, so does leaving it on for hours and hours.Now that turning a PC on takes an...

Terminally Online(Image credit: Future)This is Terminally Online: PC Gamer's very own MMO column. Every other week, I'll be sharing my thoughts on the genre, interviewing fellow MMO-heads like me, taking a deep-dive into mechanics we've all taken for granted, and, occasionally, bringing in guest writers to talk about their MMO of choice.

You could tell that Stalker 2 was a true sequel to 2007's survivalist FPS in that it was as broken as it was brilliant. GSC Game World succeeded in delivering the seamless open world it has spent two decades striving toward, but players' exploration of Chornobyl's exclusion zone was hindered by bugs, broken quests, and more performance issues than a drunk orchestra.The sequel has received numerous massive patches already, but...

But I was still willing to give it a go (within the safe confines of a game) because Beastfolk Barber just looked too cute to pass up on. The premise is simple: you play as Freddie, the owner of a small hair...

I had the pleasure of playing Star Wars: Galactic Racer recently—it's an upcoming racing game by Fuse Games, a studio filled with Burnout alumni, and while I was intrigued by the roguelike elements of its singleplayer campaign, the real standout to me is its online multiplayer, which is doing something that I would otherwise call ill-advised: Making it a MOBA.
