Have you ever wondered why we’ve always pressed Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart Windows PCs? For those with inquisitive minds, a new video from Great Big Story dives into the deep, dark secrets of Ctrl-Alt-Del’s origins. A hard reset button was considered, but apparently determined to be too risky, and would still have resulted in long waits for the bootup process. Thus Ctrl-Alt-Del was born. “We could have had a single button, but the guy who did the IBM keyboard design didn’t want to give us our singl

Ahead of the Fallout 76 beta, which is due to start later this month, Bethesda has revealed the game’s full, massive map, which it claims will be four times the size of Fallout 4’s. The map, seen below, is littered with waypoints, and clearly shows boundaries between distinct areas in the West Virginia setting.

According to AMD’s own testing, Radeon RX Vega 64 owners can expect up to a 5 percent performance bump in Black Ops 4 when running the game at 1080p. Likewise, Radeon RX 580 owners can expect up to 6 percent better performance at the same resolution, compared to the previous 18.10.1 driver release.

The dispute arose shortly after ZeniMax was awarded $500 million in its lawsuit against Oculus VR, filed over allegations—which a jury agreed with—that Oculus co-founder Palmer

The governor of West Virginia and the West Virginia Tourism Office announced they are partnering with Bethesda for “advertising and touring opportunities” related to Fallout 76. The West Virginia setting of Fallout 76 (albeit a post-apocalyptic version of it), is sure to draw fans to the state (if it hasn’t already) to visit locations from the open world multiplayer game. They’ve really embraced West Virginia and its beauty. We believe this unique partnership has tremendous potential to bring fo
