Every Monday, Build of the week highlights a unique rig from the web’s most dedicated PC building communities. The last diorama I made was a scene of the Missouri River, circa Lewis and Clark stuff. Image 1 of 4 Image 2 of 4 Image 3 of 4 Image 4 of 4Check this beauty out. There’s some diorama-ass-lookin’ ground, all warped and exaggerated to drive home the groundness of the ground, and some cute little PUBG easter eggs spread about.

In EVE, however, players are highly dependent on others for everything from ships to the modules that they install on them. In speaking with several EVE players, it’s evident that the bot ring in Omist was only the tip of the iceberg. SvaraEir’s comment also struck a nerve because for years, EVE players have had suspicions about the economy being exploited by individuals who trade ISK for real money. MisstepsAt the time of writing this article, the alleged botters in Ukrainian Soviet Socialistic

Update: DrDisrespect’s return stream has broken 387,000 concurrent viewers, surpassing Tyler1’s 382,000 concurrents to set a new mark for an individual streamer on Twitch. Original story:Famed PUBG streamer DrDisprespect returned to action today in his first livestream following a December 2017 confession of infidelity. It’s a moment his fans were clearly waiting for, as he quickly racked up more than 350,000 concurrent views and may have even briefly kneecapped Twitch. On the other hand, the re

Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain has a special, very-briefly-secret event that was set to trigger if, and only if, all of the nuclear weapons in the game have been removed. It first came to light thanks to the efforts of dataminers, and Konami confirmed it a few months later. On February 2 the event was finally triggered, rewarding players with a cutscene memorializing the accomplishment. The nuclear disarmament event was triggered in the Steam version of METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN

The Wild West is looking as wild as ever thanks to Sky Noon, a first-person multiplayer brawler from developer Lunar Rooster and Reverb Triple XP. Set to enter Steam Early Access later this year, Sky Noon will pit 2-8 players against each other in a floating arena. As you can see, you won’t be filling anybody full of lead with a six-shooter or Winchester rifle: in fact, there aren’t even health meters in Sky Noon, according to the press release. According to its store page on Steam, Sky Noon wil

Blizzard’s Overwatch League is a showcase for the finest professional Overwatch players in the world. That may be about to change, however, as Zarya phenom Kim “Geguri” Se-yeon recently said in a Twitch stream that she’s accepted an offer from a “foreign” team. “No player can be considered part of the Overwatch League until we’ve both received a contract for a given player from a team, and also subsequently approved that contract,” an Overwatch spokesperson said in an email. “The League office h

We’ve partnered with Fanatical to drop a new game key in the inboxes of PC Gamer Club Legendary members every month, and this month we’re serving up a sea of blood with the extremely metal Slain: Back From Hell. The most metal thing about Slain is that the protagonist, Bathoryn, just wants to Take A Damn Nap. Awoken against his will in the mortal realm, he reluctantly sets out to gore hordes of abominations and cut down six overlords. Existing Legendary members should have received an email cont

That matches the lowest price we’ve seen for this model. One of the things we like about this UPS is that it’s a pure sine wave model. At this price, most models only have simulated sine wave output, and some electronics can act wonky with simulated sive wave UPSes. Half of them provide surge protection only, and the other half offer both surge protection and battery backup in case the power goes out. It also offers surge protection and filtering for coax and Ethernet cables.

Records are meant to be broken, and G.Skill keeps smashing them with increasingly faster memory kits. It’s latest offering is a new Trident Z RGB DDR4-4700 kit that is 100MHz faster than other memory kits on the market. Nobody really needs a memory kit this fast, save for extreme overclockers who are chasing benchmark and frequency records. Then less than a week later, Corsair joined the DDR4-4600 club with a high-speed 16GB kit of its own. G.Skill hasn’t said how much it will cost, though as a

This is your chance to go hands-on with the biggest PC games of tomorrow. Get your hands on the complex combat system and try not to get decapitated as you explore the game’s germanic rural lands. We loved the first game’s take on the Left 4 Dead formula with proper melee combat and really satisfying weapons. You can get your hands on the latest alpha update before it goes out to the world at the PC Gamer Weekender. Deep Rock GalacticIn this co-op shooter you play a team of space dwarves explori

Back at the beginning of 2016, we told you about a Kickstarter campaign for Ossic X, a 3D positional headphone that produces true HRTF 3D-positional audio. Ossic X has already started shipping out pre-production “Developer” models to backers in the campaign’s $999 tier. The feedback Ossic X receives will be implemented into the final product. Part of what’s unique about these headphones is that calibrates to the individual listener’s head, ears, and torso. It also features eight individual drive

The PC Gamer Weekender 2018 returns to Olympia London on February 17-18. With the latter in mind, Creative Assembly’s Jack Lusted and Al Bickham join us on the Developer Stage to talk all things Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia. Entitled ‘Total War in the Anglo Saxon Age’, the panel will explore the first of the Saga offshoot series’ new features, and how it’s evolving the recognised Total War formula. Bickham and Lusted will offer a brief history lesson that discusses the Viking invasion of

Razer, known to us primarily as purveyors of PC gaming hardware, have turned their attention to phones. If you’re interested in trying out the company’s first foray into the market then our sister site TechRadar can save your money with an exclusive discount on Three’s 30GB, 100GB and all-inclusive data deals. With ill-fated gaming phones in mind, our Bo outlined similar reservations before going hands-on with the Razor Phone last year. Here he is on the Razor Phone’s technical specifications:Th

Instead of abstaining from alcohol, though, it’s clamping down on cheaters—having banned one million rule-breaking players in January alone. Taking to Twitter , it said: “We have banned over 1,044,000 PUBG cheaters in January alone, unfortunately things continue to escalate.” We have banned over 1,044,000 PUBG cheaters in January alone, unfortunately things continue to escalate.February 4, 2018This comes off the back of PUBG Corp’s recent moves to block Steam family sharing, as well as its new a

Enthusiastic guitar riffs, flashing lights and officious armour fitting can only carry opening cinematics so far. And let’s face it: last week’s Dynasty Warriors 9 intro footage was a bit dross. I’ve spoken before about my indifference to the Dynasty Warriors series in the past—no matter how much I’ve pined for a Seth Cohen/Ryan Atwood relationship—but that map looks pretty stunning. Some of its more barren stretches even remind me of Red Dead Redemption’s overworld, but it’s possible I’ve got t

Lugging an entire desktop PC around to a friend’s house to set up in the spare room or basement, plug in with everyone else attending and play Red Alert 2 over LAN? Well that nostalgia-blast becomes reality at the PC Gamer Weekender, thanks to our LAN Retro Zone. In the Zone you’ll be able to play games like the aforementioned Command & Conquer Red Alert 2, as well as other stone cold classics like Battlefield 1942, Star Wars: Dark Forces and Half-Life—all multiplayer (and single-player) gems fr

For every Bart Simpson meets Jack Bauer, there’s a Murder She Wrote meets Magnum P.I. On looks alone (I’m yet to take it for a spin), MyNamels’ OverDOOM belongs to the former camp. Built for the original monster-blasting shooter, this mod combines Overwatch and Doom by introducing hero D.Va’s auto-firing, Fusion Cannon-wielding, projectile-dismantling mech to the underworld and beyond. “D.Va’s mecha in Doom,” reads its ModDB description, “‘summon LootBox’—to get all current weapons from [Overwat

It used to be that if you needed to access your computer remotely, you needed to use Windows Remote Desktop Protocol combined with port forwarding enabled in your router. The ability to access files remotely is only effective if your machine is accessible. Normally you would need to physically power on your machine before you leave your house if you want to gain access remotely. With RDP this is an unavoidable issue; Team Viewer offers a service called “Wake-on-LAN” which allows you to power you

The tenth alpha version of military sim Squad is due out tomorrow (February 5), and will make substantial changes to the way players move around its 50vs50 multiplayer matches. The biggest changes are around player movement, which mainly aim to make the game feel more realistic. You can now sprint while crouched, however, and climb or vault over small walls, which should make the maps feel more flexible. Weapons have been tweaked, too: peripheral vision while scoped has been reduced, and aiming

Racing fans, listen up: Dirt Rally is just $10 right now. That’s a heck of a deal, and the lowest ever price for one of the best rally games you’ll ever play. But put your foot down, because the deal only lasts until 10am Monday PT/1pm EST/6pm GMT. You’ll fly through a number of game modes, and the presentation of the career-style mode really makes you feel like a proper rally driver. As I said, it’s a historic low price, and the game is more than $50 on most stores at the moment.
