Owen Wilson’s famous “wow!” Called Owen Wilson Crit Sound, this simple mod plays one of 16 voice clips of Mr. Wilson saying “wow!” The video below shows it in action using a Shadow Priest with an absurdly high critical hit chance, the results are hilarious. It’s like having your own entourage of Owen Wilsons continually blown away at how good you are. ), or if you just really, really like the sound of Owen Wilson’s voice (and hey, who doesn’t?)

That’s how I used AIM, to have a very intimate conversation with another person. But when you were using AIM, you were sitting down at a computer to talk to people. Emily is Away tributes AIM in the only way anyone can—spinning a yarn of disentranced high-school drama that eventually mounts into something deeply sad. I think AIM was really good at that.” Over the past decade or so AIM has slowly been replaced with services that de-emphasize traditional internet patois.

Shaun said in his new hands-on preview of Far Cry 5 that his time with it was fun, but essentially more of the same: “A dramatically different setting doesn’t really change the moment-to-moment feel of a Far Cry game.” Fortunately, it also affords me an opportunity to remind everyone that James got savagely owned by Ubisoft. There’s a sniper, a pyro, a soldier (who I’m pretty sure is Hurk), an Arrow cosplayer, a dog, and a huge cat. It’s quite a shift in tone from the early Far Cry 5 teasers. Fa

The second season of Fortnite Battle Royale is now underway, with a new Battle Pass that provides immediate access to cosmetic loot is now available for purchase. – Gradually regenerates health through melee combat while wearing down enemies with corrosion. Blitzen BASE Kyle: Warden – Heals himself during melee combat, has Hardware weapon boosts, and has a BASE that regenerates the health of allies who stand inside it. – Heals himself during melee combat, has Hardware weapon boosts, and has a BA

Dungeon Run, which was released as a free addition to the new Kobolds & Catacombs set, gives players something they’ve never really had before: a compelling single player experience. You begin a Dungeon Run by picking a class, each of which has its own pre-made skeleton deck, then head into battle against a set of AI adversaries. To elaborate, each of the five bosses has 70 health, starts with three mana, and possesses an absurdly overpowered hero power. Vustrasz’s hero power costs zero mana and

It looks like EVGA is looking to shed some inventory before the year comes to a close. Specifically, it is offering a deep discount on its SC17 laptop with a 17.3-inch 4K resolution display and GeForce GTX 1070 GPU tucked inside. Originally priced at $2,800, the laptop is marked down to $1,300. Or for $100 more ($1,400), EVGA offers the same configuration, but with G-Sync thrown into the mix. In both cases, EVGA is running a promotion where you can claim a free backpack and Torq X10 mouse.

With Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds exit from Early Access coming in just a few days, changes and tweaks are still underway on the test server, which is hosting 1.0’s new desert map, Miramar. You didn’t wind up on your favorite map, or one you know really well? Adding map selection will result in there effectively being 12 game modes in total. When all these factors are combined, it could be very difficult to offer a seamless experience 24/7 to players looking for matches. However, we will do our

We named Intel’s Optane SSD 900P as our SSD of the year, and for good reason—it arrived to a rather stagnant SSD scene with incredible performance metrics, using 3D XPoint technology to race past the previous champ, Samsung’s 960 Pro. In addition to speed, the Optane SSD 900P is about to get a lot more capacious. At present, the Optane SSD 900P is only available in 280GB and 480GB models. While the capacity bump is the most interesting change to the Optane SSD 900P line, it’s not the only one. T

Remember as a kid when you’d sit in a swivel chair and have a friend spin you around until you got dizzy? That’s not what Roto VR does, or at least we hope it doesn’t. However, it does bring swivel action to VR gaming (and other VR applications) with a motorized chair that will begin shipping to customers soon. We’re super hyped because we know Roto VR will usher in a new era of unparalleled 360 VR immersion—and it’s affordable.” That will get you the chair, base, VR head tracker, touch pedals,

Are you curious about Phoenix Point? Well, the latest title from XCOM’s original creator, Julian Gollop, will be available to play during the PC Gamer Weekender—and the man himself will be on hand as a guest speaker on the Saturday of the event. With its appearance at the PC Gamer Weekender, you’ll finally be able to find out just why we’re all so excited. You can check out Phoenix Point’s Twitter here and its Facebook here, while a Discord room can be found over here. Phoenix Point will be join

My Time At Portia is a breezy, whimsical crafting sandbox that calls to mind the likes of Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing. It’s idyllic and bright and I want to start building my workshop there right now, escaping the chilly Scottish winter I’m trapped in. Unfortunately, like the rest of you, I’ll need to wait until January 23, when the game launches on early access. In My Time At Portia, you’ll venture to a small town at the edge of the world, taking over a workshop left to you by your dad. Fo

Sea of Thieves, Rare’s multiplayer pirate romp, won’t be out until March, but the devs are betting that you’ll want to know what you’ll actually be able to do in its nautical world before it launches. The latest video cuts off a vertical slice, showing off the game’s trading companies (the factions you’ll be doing quests for), missions and multiplayer shenanigans. Voyages aren’t just hidden away in a journal or quest log—they’re physical scrolls that can be shown to other players. This also mean

Last year it was Scarface, and the year before that it was Point Break, but this December sees the crew of crooks heading to LA for a Reservoir Dogs heist. “La la land is waiting,” says Overkill Software. “Packed with diamonds and dreams of a better life. A better life that can be achieved with a lot of dough. All of that’s great, but you can’t do Reservoir Dogs without the right eyewear.

Boozing in the abyss, as it happens, is also the subject of Oxenfree developer Night School Studio’s next game. Afterparty follows the afterlife of best friends Milo and Lola who, just as they’re preparing for the world outside college, die, finding themselves stuck in Hell with no idea what they did to end up there. Like Oxenfree, it’s a narrative adventure where you control more than one character, but it looks like the similarities end there. It sounds like a hoot, frankly, and the type of He

I’ve always thought it was a tragedy that Final Fantasy 14 is doomed to be the estranged cousin of the series. But make no mistake, Final Fantasy 14: Stormblood isn’t just good by MMO standards—it’s the best Final Fantasy I’ve played in years. But Final Fantasy 14 has made a kind of comeback that no other game has ever pulled off. Final Fantasy 14 turns each boss fight into a climactic spectacle that reaches Dragon Ball Z levels of tension. That isn’t to say Final Fantasy 14: Stormblood is a per

PC Gamer’s Best Expansion of 2017 is XCOM 2: War of the Chosen, as selected by our global team. War of the Chosen is the most inventive yet, filling out the world with new friendly resistance factions and bitter rivals in the form of the Chosen themselves. For me, The Chosen became XCOM 2’s campaign—all my tech and personnel decisions revolved around tracking them down and prepping for their multi-stage missions. Tim Clark: I scarcely see War of the Chosen as an expansion. For more War of the Ch

Before I explain how Ubisoft truly and utterly owned me, some context. It wasn’t a serious request, just a fun way to pay homage to a person I admire while sending some constructive criticism towards the way early media of Far Cry 5 depicted Montanans. Fast forward to earlier this week where I played the latest build of Far Cry 5 and got to explore an entire section of the map. During a series of side missions focused on harvesting bull testicles, I got sent to Davenport Farm. What I found was a

Post-apocalyptic survival horror game Fade to Silence, which was just announced at The Game Awards last week, is already out in early access, along with a new trailer that teases its very chilly, monster-infested world. It sounds largely similar to a lot of other survival affairs, though there are a couple of twists that do sound a bit intriguing. You’ve got you typical survival boxes getting ticked: crap weather, ferocious enemies, limited resources, crafting and scavenging—you know the drill

Far Cry 5 skims a bit closer to Far Cry 4 than Origins does to its predecessors, but the new American setting carries some necessary, overdue change with it. You’re just not going to see the prettiest possible version of Far Cry 5, in both looks and practice. There’s a growing distance between the realistic world of Far Cry and the wacky tasks it puts you up to. Previous Far Crys could get pretty ridiculous, but slapstick redneck comedy is at the fore in Far Cry 5. You can still complete them qu

It was like a horror take on Looney Tunes, but overall, Far Cry 5 feels like a kind of Looney Tunes take on rural America. No, if you thought Far Cry 5 was attempting a realistic depiction of an American county then… you’ll either be disappointed, or America is a far more brutal place than I could ever have imagined. What kind of tone is next Far Cry going for? While there are changes, the overall feeling of Far Cry 5 is more of the same, and a dramatically different setting doesn’t really chang
