Such is the strange and rich new world we've been plunged into by last week's release of Oblivion Remastered, which fixed some parts of the original game's jank, lovingly preserved others, and introduced some entirely new bits of its own.Now Bethesda is calling on players to suggest where it (or at least, where developer...
Look, I'm not even going to mess around with a creative intro on this one. The world's largest zip manufacturer, YKK, has made a remote-controlled, motorised, self-propelled zip, and it's glorious.See how it connects a pair of 16-foot membrane sheets together in seconds (via The Verge). Marvel at it zipping up two halves of an industrial-sized tent. Wonder, at least momentarily, as to whether it'll ever be miniaturised down to...
Manor Lords has been in early access for about a year now, and while that may not feel too long at all, the medieval city builder has come a long way from its impressive beginnings. And apparently, it still has a long way to go."There’s still lots to do, and while I’ve been working on new features and improvements for a while now, I wanted to give you all a...

However, with the rise of the use of drone attacks in the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, the UK government has decided to implement further export restrictions on Russia, one of which is the wholesale ban on selling any game controllers to...
If the concept of CPU delidding fills you with dread, I think you might also be a little squeamish about this one. A modder has created a functional liquid cooling system by machining straight into an Intel CPU heat spreader—and, with the help of a plastic panel and a handy bucket, it actually works. To a fashion, at least.On the surface, the idea actually makes a whole lot of sense...
A new series of Taskmaster is always an event worth celebrating, but series 19 is a special occasion for the rapidly growing American fan base of the British comedy panel game show: American comedian and nexus of chaos Jason Mantzoukas is officially joining the action. The show has had North American contestants before (Desiree Burch, Katherine Ryan, Mae Martin), but Mantzoukas is the first contestant to be based professionally in...
