Now I’m older, and confused for a different reason: Red Bull announced today that Fortnite phenom Ninja and various special guests will be livestreaming from the event for the full week. Check out @Ninja streaming LIVE at @lollapalooza all week long. He’ll be playing with a variety of special guests starting today at 5 PM CDT! Check it out: https://t.co/gtAOsLnDGA pic.twitter.com/gSBDYQVI3AAugust 2, 2018Ninja said on Twitter that he’ll begin streaming today at 3 pm CT/4 pm ET in a $100,000 Realm

Fantasy Flight Games has announced a new card game from Magic creator Richard Garfield. Called KeyForge: Call of the Archons, it’s a ‘Unique Deck Game,’ in which each and every deck of cards is a unique set highly unlikely to ever be reprinted. At release, KeyForge will have a starter set with a few decks and lots of game tokens, as well as its unique boxed decks. The game is a pretty strange idea in today’s card game landscape, which emphasizes customizability and collectibility, encouraging pl

Fantasy Flight Games has announced big additions and a slate of new releases for miniatures games Star Wars: X-Wing Second Edition and Star Wars: Legion. Confused by all these Star Wars tabletop games? Here’s our overview of the best Star Wars board games. Star Wars: Legion, on the other hand, is getting a decidedly original trilogy addition: Chewbacca. The large number of new releases this year seems to point toward financial success for Star Wars: Legion, which was only announced at last year’

BenQ is adding to the growing pile of FreeSync 2 monitors with its EX3203R, a 32-inch curved display with a 2560×1440 resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, and HDR support. The previously announced monitor will land on retail shelves on August 7 for $699.99 (MSRP), the company announced today. Among other things, the certification requires that panels be able to produce 400 nits of brightness. This is supposed to reduce eye strain by dynamically adjusting the brightness and color temperature in respon

I find the planet of my dreams almost immediately, but the ‘never fly my ship again’ part doesn’t quite work out. I find so much more by stopping to peer through my visor than I would rocketing along and using my ship’s scanner. It would be cool if maybe one in a thousand planets in No Man’s Sky was a superplanet of some kind, a world with multiple biomes. Irritated, I get back in the ship I’m trying not to fly, and fly it to the anomaly, where the little Gek inside demands I meet 30 aliens and

Windows + Tab: Displays all open windows on a grid. Windows key + Shift + Right or Left Arrow: Move a window to another monitor.

Two weeks ago, we highlighted a deal for a Radeon RX 580 with 8GB of GDDR5 memory for $229.99. The one that was on sale a couple of weeks ago was based on AMD’s reference design with a single-fan, vanilla cooling solution. MSI’s Radeon RX 580 Armor 8G OC takes things up a notch with faster clockspeeds and a dual-fan cooling solution. It’s not a wild overclock—the card boosts to 1,366MHz, up from AMD’s reference 1,340MHz clock—but the fact that it runs slightly faster could suggest a better binne

Publisher Wired Productions announced today that the Rollcage-inspired combat racing game Grip will end its lengthy stay on Steam Early Access and go into full release on November 6. “We’re getting pretty excited as we near the finish line on GRIP,” game director Chris Mallinson said. “It’s been surreal to see this passion project evolve into the intense combat racing experience that players will soon be able to dive into.” (That’s parkour, but for cars, right?) It’s currently available for $20

As in most shooters, framerate reigns supreme, ensuring smoother aim and sharper clarity for eyeballing your next target or a faraway chest. The configuration shown here strikes a good balance between visual fidelity and high framerates. View Distance: EpicDon’t feel disadvantaged if you prefer notching down Fortnite’s view distance; the setting only affects rendering quality and distance of objects materializing in your view, as demonstrated in the above GIF’s upper left. Check the above compar

Finally, I use the ‘murder’ command. The console’s ‘murder’ command is very different to the ‘kill’ command. This is notable for being the first major war she’s waged on the Italian mainland. Matilda’s army just sits there doing nothing as the Warscore tips in Jordan’s favour. Using the ‘play’ command to take direct control of Matilda’s army is clearly cheating, so I just have to let things play out.

Prior to the launch of No Man’s Sky’s NEXT update last week, I wrote about modder Redmas’ NMS Origins. Designed to “restore the original vision” of the game, the creator stressed their love for No Man’s Sky and that their adjustments aimed to improve what they already considered a great game. Just over a week following the launch of NEXT, Redmas has created eight mods along similar lines. Alien Structures Deposits replaces the vanilla Deposit assets with alien structures; while Atmospheric Freig

Motherboard makers are apparently eager for the arrival of Intel’s not-yet-announced 9th generation Core processor family. Perhaps too eager, depending on how much of secret Intel wants to keep things. That’s all fine and dandy, except that Intel has formally introduced any 9000 series (9th gen) CPUs yet. If those are accurate, Intel will be releasing two 8-core CPUs, including the Core i9-9900K and Core i7-9700K. Finally, Intel is also said (unofficially) to be releasing another high-end SKU, t

Nvidia’s “Game Ready” 398.82 WHQL driver package contains performance optimizations for both Battle for Azeroth and Monster Hunter: World. Beyond the performance tweaks, Nvidia crushed a bunch of bugs in its latest driver release. They include the following fixes:[Surround][G-SYNC]: In Surround mode, the G-Sync link in the Nvidia Control Panel is missing. [Nvidia Control Panel][Surround]: Nvidia Surround hot keys do not work. The updated driver release has already started pushing out through Nvi

Rend is a new fantasy team-based survival game from original World of Warcraft and League of Legends developers, Frostkeep Studios, that pits three factions against one another in 60-player competitive matches set in an epic fantasy world. In this game, players must learn to survive and dominate the brutal world to ultimately become the new Norse gods of Valhalla. When a cycle ends, one faction will be declared the winner… but the end is only the beginning. Victorious players will receive reward

This time last week, we learned of Endless Space 2 and Endless Legend’s new Supremacy and Inferno expansions—both of which land today. From now through Sunday at 10am PST / 6pm BST, Endless Space 2 and Endless Legend are free to try (as are Amplitude’s other games Dungeon of the Endless and the original Endless Space). Last year, 240,000 participated in the free weekend, unlocking all six reward tiers in the process. Said free weekend website lives this way. If you fancy Endless Legend’s new Inf

Life is Strange 2 will land in September, said Andy in the wake of E3. Back then, a 20-second teaser showed off some nice music, a launch date—September 27—and a old, battered rucksack. “We are almost ready to share the details on the next step in the award-winning Life is Strange series: an incredible new 5-episode story from original Life is Strange developers, Dontnod Entertainment,” explains publisher Square Enix in an email. “We’re excited to tell you that we will be revealing Life is Stran

I thought I knew the kinds of stories that would come out of Kerbal Space Program’s newest expansion, Making History. Author Andy Weir’s story of a lone NASA astronaut stranded on Mars is a perfect fit for the focused, real-world-adjacent rocket physics of KSP. Using the new mission planner, KSP forum member Mikki recreated the drama of The Martian for brave Kerbals to suffer through. I really loved The Martian, but I wasn’t prepared for The Dunatian to make me love it more, and in a new way. Le

Part of the reason I’ve covered Cyberpunk 2077’s E3 trailer frame-by-frame series in its entirety, is because CD Projekt Red hasn’t yet released footage from its E3 demo. “Speed is a major theme in Cyberpunk 2077,” explains CD Projekt Red. Onto the shot we’ve seen loads of so far—the leather jacket-wearing man, leaning against the car featured above, puffing a ciggie and looking onto the Night City skyline. “Like most fashion choices in Night City, the jacket is also designed to be functional, o

Chris Schilling calls Yoku’s Island Express a “beguiling game of modest brilliance” and “a blend of mismatched genres that somehow works.” If those words, and all the other lovely words, contained within Chris’ 85-scored review aren’t enough to sway you, a free demo just might. Located directly above its Steam page price tag—the full game costs £15.99/$19.99—Yoku’s Island Express’ free demo lets players “get to know Yoku and the other inhabitants of the beautiful, hand-painted world and try the

PUBG’s latest limited-time Event Mode enters its 4x4km Sanhok map. Named ‘Sanhok Forty-Fivers’, it’s a four-person squad (80 players max) free-for-all whereby the only spawnable guns are compatible with blue-boxed .45 ammunition.
