A couple of weeks ago I reported the surprising news that Intel's elderly and bug-infested 13th and 14th Gen Raptor Lake CPUs are still selling in numbers. Now it turns out Intel is also still working at completely fixing all the problems those chips have had since launch. The results are a new microcode update which comes over six months since the last patch was released in September.To say this...
I had the pleasure of attending a Netflix event around the WoW documentary The Remarkable Life of Ibelin last year—one that was attended by folks from Muscular Dystrophy UK, a charity that helps fund research into the kinds of muscle-wasting conditions that impact not just Ibelin's late player, Mats Steen, but many disabled gamers the world over.Steen's journey, as told through the documentary, has already helped raise $2 million in...
If you are anything like me, there's a good chance that your TikTok is currently exploding with clips, tips, and guides in the wake of the launch of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. Perhaps my favourite little digital nugget to come out of my scrolling is one account dedicated to showing off new games through the retro screen of a CRT TV.User, CRT Dream, posted their "Oblivion on a...
In April, Power Rangers was back in the news for all the wrong reasons. Appearing in a new documentary focused on the sentai series, former head writer Tony Oliver admitted that maybe it wasn’t so great that they had made their only Black actor the Black Ranger and their only Asian character the Yellow Ranger.

The upcoming remaster of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 will welcome skater Bam Margera back into the fold, Activision announced Thursday. Margera appeared as a skater in the original versions of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4, but was not previously confirmed to appear in the remasters. The skater and longtime pal of Tony Hawk will be included as a secret skater, meaning he’ll eventually be unlockable. Margera appeared in...
Doom: The Dark Ages is going to be a love-it-or-hate-it entry in the shooter series. I’ve only been playing the game for a few hours so far, but I already love it. That said, it’s very different from Doom Eternal — and unless you can adjust to a game that feels very different to play, Dark Ages will be a tough hang. But if you’re me, Dark Ages is a...
Eight World Warriors from Street Fighter 6 are coming to Overwatch 2 in May, Blizzard Entertainment announced Friday (as Evo Japan 2025 kicks off in Tokyo). And like past Overwatch 2 collabs, the choices are inspired: Zenyatta will cosplay as Dhalsim, and Sigma will cosplay as M. Bison as part of the Street Fighter crossover. But let’s be honest. It’s probably the Kiriko-cosplaying-as-Juri Legendary skin that you’re going to see...
