If you’re looking for a new way to explore the procedurally generated splendors of No Man’s Sky, you can now fly around in the Millennium Falcon—once you find it. The Morships for Atlas Rising Mod for No Man’s Sky adds a dozen new ships, including the Falcon, to the game’s procedural generation lists, meaning that a) the new spacecraft don’t replace any existing ships, and b) they’ll show up randomly as you explore. As the ships appear on various docking pads and space stations you can purchase

Whether you like the Mega Man games or not, most have a lingering fondness for their bright and vibrant pixel art. Lately he’s been experimenting with Mega Man, and it’s interesting to see how one of the industry’s best pixel artists approaches the series (if you don’t believe he’s one of the industry’s best – you haven’t seen Owlboy).

While Fallout 4 VR shows some of the shortcomings of retrofitting VR into an existing game, it’s also impressively playable. One of the best things in Fallout 4 VR is VATS, which works a bit differently than it does in the original game. Obviously, Fallout 4 VR hasn’t been built from the ground up for a headset, and sometimes you can really feel it. You can pick up items in Fallout 4 VR, but you don’t see yourself holding anything, they just float there. I’m not one who feels motion sickness in

This Zombeast will have the combined stats and mana cost of whatever you pick, plus all the card text associated. “Given the above, we knew we couldn’t make a version of DK Rexxar with future updating. DK Rexxar is really fun, and we hope players agree that the version we have now is definitely worth having in the game.” The future for our undead furry friendsRealz isn’t wrong about Deathstalker Rexxar still being fun. All-spells Hunter may ultimately prove to be another meme, but right now it’s

That said, I’m surprised nobody’s talking about the real elephant in the room: the new public event on Mercury, the DLC’s main planet. It’s an enjoyable, surprisingly in-depth event, but it also hates PC gamers, especially those of us with powerful video cards. As Bungie noted in its last weekly update, jumping through the cannons used to reach the event’s far-off platforms can be hazardous if you’re running the game above 60 FPS. It doesn’t matter what FPS you’re playing at—90, 120 or even 144

Conan Exiles, the barbaric survival-MMO that aspires to one day enable players to create a “necklace of dicks” (no, really), has been available in Early Access for almost a year now. It took a big step toward full release today, however, as Funcom announced that it will leave Early Access on May 8, 2018. “Early Access and Game Preview has been an absolutely invaluable tool for us in developing Conan Exiles,” creative director Joel Bylos said. “Being able to get direct feedback from players has a

With the latest update to Dauntless, the developers at Phoenix Labs may not be approaching infinity, but they’re doing a damned good job pretending anyone can play a game forever. It’s this giddy self-delusion that makes live games like this so much fun to play, or to at least follow. With the Sharpen Your Skills update , Dauntless isn’t there yet, but I get the impression that won’t be the case for too long. Weapons now specialize in blunt, piercing, or cutting damage, and certain bits of behem

It is also the cause of a recent bit of unexpected upset in Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds, following a surprise change in female character models that appeared on the PUBG test server over the weekend. And it’s certainly fair to ask why the change was made now, nine months after its initial release on Early Access. It will be updated shortly with changes! After looking into this, it appears it came as part of the character model we received from an outsourcer when we first started the project. I

Hearthstone’s latest expansion, Kobolds & Catacombs, landed late last week, and if you’ve tried to get a hold of me in that time, I apologize. One huge Hunter trope to come out of Kobolds and Catacombs was an archetype that lacks any minions at all. We’ve seen spell-heavy versions before, notably with ‘Yogg & Load’ decks, but this is the first time the archetype has ditched minions entirely. It uses both Leeching Poison and Deadly Poison to buff the 1-Mana legendary weapon we’ll be drawing repea

Monster Hunter: World ran a PS4-exclusive open beta over the weekend. I was optimistic that a non-3DS Monster Hunter would be good, but Monster Hunter: World is also kind of scary for longtime players because it changes so much about the formula. But man, I can already tell that Monster Hunter: World is going to become my new obsession. I’ll dive deeper into multiplayer stuff in an upcoming piece exploring what else we want to see in Monster Hunter: World on PC. I’ve always been comfortable with

The dramatic increase of Steam users in China began in 2012, when Valve and Perfect World partnered to publish Dota 2 in the country. Perfect World later published CS:GO in China, and the two games are now the third and second most popular games on Steam in China, respectively. The most popular, however, released this year: SteamSpy estimates that 78 percent of Steam users in China own PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.

A new report from digital research firm Superdata says that the worldwide esports market was valued at $1.5 billion in 2017. Fully half of that came by way of investments from “high-profile sports organizations and brands,” the company said in the Esports Courtside: Playmakers of 2017 report, “highlighting a growing confidence in its ability to break into the mainstream.” “At $1.5 billion for 2017, global esports revenue will grow 26 percent by 2020 as it attracts an even more mainstream audienc

Every so often, CyberPower’s 1500VA / 900W (CP1500PFCLCD), our top pick among uninterruptible power supplies, goes on sale. You can snag the CP1500PFCLCD for $120 at Amazon or B&H Photo. It also has a useful LCD screen monitoring, a total of 10 sockets (half of them offer surge protection only, and the other half offer both surge protection and battery backup), automatic voltage regulation (AVR), and perhaps most importantly of all, true sine-save support. One of the most important features when

The problem is the ASCII art used to represent the porn on the in-game computer screen. “In You Must be 18 or Older to Enter, there is semi-NSFW content. “By using ASCII art, it’s hard to fully interpret any image in the game. “Games about porn are not porn just as games about shooting people aren’t calls to imminent lawless action. You Must Be 18 or Older to Enter is still available on Game Jolt and Itch.io.

Antorus, the Burning Throne’s Mythic-difficulty version opened on December 5, kicking off global race among the MMO’s top guilds to be the first to beat it. As I predicted, Argus wouldn’t be a walk in the park like the other bosses in Antorus, The Burning Throne. Unlike Normal and Heroic difficulties, Argus’ Mythic version has secret phases that aren’t detailed in the in-game Dungeon Journal or spoiled on the test server. When famous guilds like Method stepped into his arena for the first time,

Hideous Destructor, which is available and designed for the popular ZDoom engine port, rejects that legacy entirely. Hideous Destructor does its best to rationalize a world of demons and monster closets. In fact, the game that Hideous Destructor reminds me the most of is Dark Souls, as cliche as that comparison’s become. “[Hideous Destructor] is a generic ‘Doom improvement’ gameplay mod, I try to ensure that every canon weapon is represented in some way,” he says. The lingering question I was le

If HP needs ideas on a New Year’s resolution, how about no more keyloggers in 2018? The last time this happened, it was related to a Conexant audio driver on dozens of laptop models. This time it has to do with the keyboard and touchpad, and it affects 460 laptop models dating back to 2012. “A potential security vulnerability has been identified with certain versions of Synaptics touchpad drivers that impacts all Synaptics OEM partners. Neither Synaptics nor HP has access to customer data as a r

If you’re looking to kick off the week with a free game, Electronic Arts has the great tower defense epic Plants vs. Zombies Game of the Year Edition up for grabs on Origin. Plants vs Zombies is a story about a horde of cartoonish undead with an unusual fixation on eating the brains of one particular suburban homeowner, who is protected from that grisly fate only by the plants in his garden. It’s now eight years old (kind of hard to believe) but remains, with all due respect to Bejeweled, Popcap

In total, companies like AT&T, Comcast, and Verizon have collectively donated $101 million to sitting members of Congress and their leadership PACs, between 1989 and 2017. Breaking it down by party, telecoms have donated $55.8 million to Republicans, $45 million to Democrats, and the rest to Independents. AT&T leads the way with $19.8 million, followed by Comcast at $14.9 million and Verizon at $11.2 million in donations this year. Senator John McCain (R. AZ), one of the longest serving members
