Last Tuesday, while in the middle of a sweaty build battle, my buddy Jake yelled through his headset, “Dude, when’s this season gonna be over! I’m sick of all these damn bug weapons!” The classic Jake; whining all the time but still playing every single night. Got me thinking, though. I imagine many players are […]
So there I am, completely failing at the Dead Space remake for the third straight night. I couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn and felt like I was swimming in peanut butter whenever I’d try to aim. My roommate Jake comes home, sees me dying for the millionth time and shakes his head. […]
Last October I received a call from my cousin, Jake. “Dude, you have to download this Pokemon game.” He was really happy about Pokemon TCG Pocket. I figured, why not? Big mistake. Well, not downloading it. That part was fine. The trading, though? What a complete disaster. Can’t believe what a mess they made of […]
Okay, so I’m sitting here trying to wrap my head around this whole mess. People are literally creating mods to rip Black and gay characters out of The Sims 4. Like, what year is this? 1950? Last week, my daughter came home from school and wanted to know why anyone would want to make all […]
So my neighbor Rick comes over Sunday morning with his coffee, super excited about some gaming news. “Microsoft’s gonna drop a new Xbox in 2027,” he says, “and Sony’s probably freaking out right now.” I just laughed. Rick gets hyped about every gaming rumor. Remember when he was convinced Nintendo was gonna buy Sega? Yeah, […]
If you’ve ever attempted to squad up with your friends in a survival game, you understand the critical role cross-platform support plays. One of the questions on many players’ minds is: is Conan Exiles cross platform? The short answer is a bit complicated, so let’s lay it out clearly and as plainly as we can. […]
Just imagine buying a two thousand dollar graphics card for gaming, only to have it transform into one expensive paperweight that’s no longer suitable for any known purpose after a single driver update. In 2025, that’s precisely what some RTX 5090 and 5090D owners have endured. When these cards launched in January, they were hyped […]
Ray tracing makes games look more real. Light acts the way it does in everyday life. Shadows fall naturally. Reflections show what they should. It can be beautiful. But it is not easy on your PC. Turn it on without checking settings, and things can go wrong. Your frame rate drops. Your fans get loud. […]
In Monster Hunter Wilds, catching fish is a fun side activity. One of the special fish you might need to catch is called the Gravid Bowfin. This bright orange fish is part of a side mission called Fishing for a Favor. The Gravid Bowfin does not show up all the time, and it can be […]
The Nintendo Switch 2 is finally here—and if you were anywhere near a major electronics store this week, you probably saw the lines. From New York to Los Angeles, fans stayed up late (or maybe just didn’t bother sleeping) to be among the first to crack open the new system. The buzz? Absolutely electric. But […]
