Released one million years ago in 2006, Line Rider was impossible to ignore during the late ’00s. For high schoolers desperate for something better to do than listen to a middle-aged man tell them how to format paragraphs in Word, Line Rider was an escape. If you’re unfamiliar, Line Rider is a something of a primordial physics game. Set to post-rock group This Will Destroy You’s album S/T, this might be one of the greatest Line Rider films ever made. Released in August of this year, it’s only He

Nearly three years after release, Stardew Valley remains one of the most played games on Steam. Thanks to the Stardew Planner, you can draw a farm in your browser, and the candy colored designs people come up with and post to the FarmsofStardewValley subreddit put my heart at ease. Then there are the actual in-game creations people post to upload.farm, a repository of more than 136,000 farms. Let’s just look at some really nice farms for a minute.

In World of Warcraft, there’s rare and then there’s rare. So, in tribute to all those obsessive types out there, here are just a few of the rarest items in World of Warcraft. Heavenly Onyx Cloud SerpentAnother supremely rare mount, but also one that is totally achievable in-game, right now. Because somehow that dungeon has another rare drop that’s caught the eye of enterprising transmog lifers. That’s right: it took over seven thousand three hundred runs to see this item drop for the first time.

Last week we were able to run some initial benchmarks of Fallout 76 to see how it fares on various GPUs. Today, with the second to last beta and a 30GB update in hand, we hopped back in to find Bethesda’s short-term fix to speed hacking. Previously, Fallout 76 would run at your display’s desktop refresh rate, up to 75Hz, or half the refresh rate on high-end gaming displays (eg, 72fps on a 144Hz display). Now, the maximum in-game framerate is 63fps as far as I can tell, slightly higher than 60 in

If Warhammer is your thing, you’re probably going to want to check out what’s going on at the Humble Store, which kicked off a Humble Warhammer Bundle today that has Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War Game of the Year Edition, Talisman: Digital Edition, and the Talisman expansions Blood Moon, Harbinger, and Sacred Pool, for a minimum price of $1. That will get you Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine Collection, and Blood Bowl 2. And for $12, you’ll also pick Warhammer 40

I did a double take when Cooler Master sent over information about its newest gaming headsets, neither of which have RGB lighting. Cooler Master’s MH752 and MH751 are both a bit of an oddity in the gaming space, but in a good way. Instead of flashing lights and a gaudy design, Cooler Master appears to have kept things simple—even the model names are comparatively tame to some other gaming headsets that are out there. “No flashy lights or bizarre tribal logos—sleek, pitch-black styling keeps it c

Contact missions offer players double XP and GTA$ in GTA Online this week—and they’re not the only activities paying out generously. If you’ve been waiting to acquire a nightclub in GTA Online, they’re all currently discounted by 30%. It joins a host of cars like the Vapid Flash GT, Pegassi Tempesta, Pfister Neon, Pfister Comet SR and Pegassi Zentorno, which are also discounted. Both Pegassi vehicles make our fastest cars in GTA Online list, at positions five (Tempesta) and six (Zentorno) on lap

Inspired by the terrible-but-secretly-brilliant ’90s B-movie Starship Troopers, the Troopers mod started enlisting future citizens when it launched a couple of weeks ago. It’s still in development, but it’s already off a promising start: Squad’s unit-based communications and logistics make a perfect backdrop for fighting endless waves of bugs. It looks and feels remarkably like a big action scene in the middle of the film. Of course, it’s not an official Starship Troopers mod, but developer Renn

The big Ark: Survival Evolved expansion Extinction is set to go live today, adding a brand new map and massive mega-dinosaurs to the game, and finally concluding the story that began, and will end, on the ruined world we call Earth. The dungeon-boss Titans are the centerpiece of Ark: Extinction, but it will also add new creatures like the balloon-like Gasbag, the frosty, flying Snow Owl, and the spine-firing Velonasaur. Existing Ark: Survival Evolved characters can be transferred from their curr

Corsair is wading into boutique territory with its latest gaming PC, which pairs a potent selection of hardware with what appears to be a premium build quality. The new Vengeance 5180 commands $2,399.99, so there’s no mistaking this for a budget box. Corsair is uniquely positioned to build a gaming desktop around many of its own parts, from core components like RAM and storage, to cooling and peripherals. The highlight of the build is the GeForce RTX 2080 graphics card. This is the middle card i

Logitech’s G502 is our favorite heavy gaming mouse and it’s on sale on Amazon for only $38.75 right now. The version that’s on sale is the G502 Proteus Spectrum RGB, not the newer Hero model with an upgraded sensor. Other features include 11 programmable buttons, a hyper-fast scroll wheel, and of course RGB lighting. Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum | 12,000 DPI | $38.75The G502 Proteus Spectrum comes with removable weights to tailor to your preference. It also has a 12,000 dpi sensor, 11 programm

Monsters have invaded the island, as they are wont to do, and instead of working together to take them out, two teams of players will instead fight against each other and the monsters. These monsters are the same ones you’ve have been dealing with if you played during the Fortnitemares event. The event is finished in Battle Royale, but Save the World is having its own Fortnitemare with new quests and a boss battle. Blitz kicks up the pace of the battle royale scraps considerably. Fortnite’s also

It’s N7 Day tomorrow, the annual celebration of all things Mass Effect. It’s also the release date for five big mod updates that each change a significant chunk of Mass Effect 3. First off, there’s Priority Earth Overhaul Mod, which fiddles around with Mass Effect 3’s last mission—everything from changes to enemy spawns to completely new cutscenes. Expanded Galaxy Mod is broader, restoring, reworking and adding new stuff like weapons, armour and missions across the entire game. A new war assets

The lavish cinematic trailer got me excited for the prospect of a big new PC Diablo game, and the sudden reversal of that expectation is one of the reasons why that cinematic trailer has nearly half a million downvotes right now. There’s the implication that Diablo might be cheapened by the existence of a mobile game. A year later Reaper of Souls came out and Reaper of Souls was great. Plus, parallel mobile games are increasingly common. A mobile game as part of a collection of new Diablo projec

Responding to an IGN article based on a Reddit post about a reportedly ‘huge hacking vulnerability’ in Fallout 76, Bethesda has stated to IGN that: “Many of the claims in the thread are either inaccurate or based on incorrect assumptions.” The Reddit thread, posted by a Reddit account created nine days ago, claims there are ‘no server checks to verify models or file integrity’ and that players can edit .esm files without the game doing any checks. Other potential actions hackers could take, the

PUBG Corp and DC have teamed up to cram The Joker and Harley Quinn into PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, at least as skins. This version of the deranged duo is from the fascinatingly awful Suicide Squad. So far, PUBG Corp has only announced the pair of skins, which you can see in action in the trailer. Harley also has her trademark baseball bat, however, suggesting that new weapons or weapon skins are also coming. While Suicide Squad was not well received, it was at least considered a box office s

Yes, it’s Warhammer Week over at Humble, knocking a whole bunch of fantasy and 40K adaptations down to cheapish. It barely scrapes the surface of the vast Warhammer library, but there are still loads of games vying for your attention. It’s astounding that the Skaven have another game where they’re in the spotlight, and it’s also very comforting because they’re wonderful. Total War: Warhammer 2 is the best Total War game that isn’t Shogun 2, and if you’ve only got space for one of Creative Assemb

The highly anticipated Fortuna update for Warframe is dropping this week. If you tire of completing bounties and raiding Corpus bases you can mine, fish, and capture animals to support a conservation project. “The game’s four quadrants, bases of enemy operations, are patrolled by giant robo-spiders, while mid- and small-size robot spiders appear across the giant terrain.” Digital Extremes has hinted that the giant robo-spiders may wake up and play a part in future challenges. Until then check ou

What World of Warcraft: Classic most certainly is not is a portal that leads back to a time when killing 15 boars felt exciting. What World of Warcraft: Classic most certainly is not is a portal that leads back to a time when killing 15 boars felt exciting. A trip down read-only memory laneWorld of Warcraft: Classic is a stubbornly authentic recreation that will likely turn away many players. It was frustrating, but that’s what I love the most about World of Warcraft: Classic. If you fell out of

K/DA is a League of Legends pop group made up of Ahri, Evelynn, Kai’Sa, and Akali, all of them LoL characters and thus not actual people who actually exist. It’s a remarkable technical accomplishment regardless of its LoL connections, but the connection is definitely there: The virtual singers were showcasing new K/DA skins that became available for purchase over the weekend. Riot doubled down on that with the release of a full-length, neon spectacle music video that puts the skins front-and-cen
