The Basilisk Ultimate (shown above) is the pricier of the two at $149.99 (€169.99), while the Basilisk X Hyperspeed is comparatively affordable at $59.99 (€69.99). Those are high-end specs, with a price tag representative of the premium features the Basilisk Ultimate offers. Some of them carry offer to the cheaper to Basilisk X Hyperspeed, though not all of them. The Basilisk X Hyperspeed downgrades the optical sensor to 16,000 dpi, though really, that’s still way higher than is needed for compe

The Federal Trade Commission has had a bit of a strained relationship with influencers over the years. That same year, Machinima settled deceptive advertising charges over its failure to disclose that it had paid influencers for their “seemingly objective opinions.” “The guide outlines the various ways that an influencer’s relationship with a brand would make disclosures necessary, and it reminds influencers that they cannot assume that followers are aware of their connections to brands.” Approp

Red Dead Redemption 2 has finally launched on PC, but some players are struggling to begin their tragic cowboy adventure. If that’s what’s halting your bank heists and train robberies, add Red Dead Redemption 2 to the list of exemptions or disable it entirely and try to launch the game again. Rockstar has also advised players who are getting the “Red Dead Redemption 2 Exited Unexpectedly” error to update their graphics drivers, as out of date drivers are the most common source of the error. Perf

If you’re looking for an awesome gaming mouse, look no further. Logitech’s G502 Hero SE is currently on offer for $37.99 on Amazon, a reduction of $42. This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen on the top-tier gaming mouse, and its list of features make it one of the most comprehensive gaming mice in Logitech’s lineup. A pretty cool feature that I think goes overlooked in a lot of Logitech’s gaming mice is the inclusion of the dual-mode hyperfast scroll wheel. Cheap gaming mouse dealUnless you ab

Maingear has added a new thin and light Vector gaming laptop to its mobile ranks. The product page touts a “starting” price of $1,499, though that also appears to be the only price. I don’t see an option to customize the hardware, only a “Buy Now” button that adds the Vector to your cart. It’s also relatively thin and light, measuring 14.16 x 9.58 x 0.78 inches (359.8 x 243.3 x 19.8 mm) and weighing 4.16 pounds (1.89 kilograms). The Vector is available now at Maingear’s website and Micro Center.

If you are on the hunt for an Enthoo Luxe 2 PC case from Phanteks, be advised that the name has changed. Phanteks made the name change to appease Thermaltake, who apparently felt the Luxe 2 could be confused with its Luxa 2 (stylized as “LUXA2”) brand. According to TechPowerUp, Phanteks received a letter from Thermaltake about its Luxe 2 case being too similar to its Luxa 2 brand. Even though Phanteks “strongly disagrees,” it decided a name change this was too silly to squabble over, and renamed

Battlegrounds will launch with 24 heroes, each with a unique power that impacts how they’ll recruit and play their minions. Players will select a hero, then toddle off to Bob’s Tavern to sign up some willing flunkies. You can also check out all the bosses and cards currently available in Hearthstone Battlegrounds at playhearthstone.net, and here are some tips from Kripp. Ahead of that, all Hearthstone players are getting a free copy of Sathrovarr, an expensive neutral demon card that should get

Leaks can be fun for gamers, and they sometimes serve as very effective PR, too. “The example I used this week a lot with the team was The Burning Crusade. “If you fast-forward to 2019, everybody looks back at Burning Crusade as one of WoW’s strongest moments, their favorite expansions, and nobody remembers that Burning Crusade was leaked at all. Leaks are very interesting in that they have more of a moral impact on the team than anything else. And while leaks can elevate hype, they can also dis

The good news is that if it is, there’s lots more to come, as showrunner Lauren Hissrich told SFX magazine (via GamesRadar) that she’s already mapped out stories for seven seasons. “We don’t have a second season yet—God willing we will—but right now it’s just about, ‘How do you set up stories that really capture audiences for years at a time?'” “The worst thing we could do is put all of our energies just into season one, and not be thinking about where these characters can grow to.” That should

One of Intel’s unlocked mid-range processors, the Core i5-9600KF, is just $199.99 right now. This CPU is great for gaming and usually goes for $215-240, and this is the lowest recorded price (at least on Amazon). Note that you will need to bring your own cooler—like all Intel K-series processors, there’s no heatsink in the box. In the case of this KF model, there’s also no integrated graphics, so you’ll need a dedicated graphics card. Not that you’ll care if you plan on playing games, as Intel’s

“We’re feeding the country, we’re feeding the world, and we choose what we put into our creations—which are often the result of what we’ve been fed,” he said. “Whether you think these are drugs—and by the way, I’m not against drugs at all—but if we’re going to be drug dealers, let’s offer people psychedelics,” he said. “Let’s offer people something that’s going to help them expand and grow. Let’s not offer them crack-cocaine. Let’s not offer them meth.

(Image credit: Microsoft)The four-day work week is pretty damn appealing if you happen to work five days a week, but few seem to take the idea very seriously. While the UK Labor Party (currently in opposition) have toyed with the idea of adopting it as official policy, and US Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders has “looked at” the idea, the four-day work week feels like one of those pipe dreams that won’t materialise any time soon. And yet, a recent trial by Microsoft Japan has demonstrated that

One of them deals with a connection bug affecting Twitch, and there are also a couple of fixes related to The Outer Worlds. They include:Radeon RX 5700 series graphics products may experience stutter in some games at 1080p and low game settings. Radeon RX 5700 series graphics products may experience display loss when resuming from sleep or hibernate when multiple displays are connected. Stutter may be experienced when Radeon FreeSync is enabled on 240Hz refresh displays with Radeon RX 5700 serie

Protesters in Hong Kong demand more autonomy from mainland China. Blizzard angered fans by punishing Hearthstone champ Blitzchung after he called for the ‘liberation’ of Hong Kong on an official stream. They handed out black shirts (“Mei With Hong Kong”), fliers, and stickers. Hong Kong flags were waved. Inside, a kid shouted “free Hong Kong” during a World of Warcraft Q&A, and then was allowed to take the mic to repeat it.

(Image credit: BioWare)Dragon Age 4 news may come early next month, if a vague (but very suggestive) tweet from BioWare is any indication. Today marks the series’ decade anniversary, and so BioWare gave the tiniest hint of what they’re planning next, tweeting “See you on 12/4 for Dragon 4ge Day!” Dragon 4ge Day is an unofficial fan celebration taking place on December 4, just like Mass Effect fans have N7 Day on November 7. It sure would be the perfect time to give out some info about the next D

Terminator: Resistance the work of Teyon, who were responsible for a rail-shooter based on Rambo back in 2014, but based on these 10 minutes of footage their Terminator game looks a bit better than that. It’s got optional stealth, lootable enemies, NPCs who remember decisions you make in a very Telltale way, and apparently some kind of crafting. Maybe it’s just because I have fond memories of playing Terminator 2 in the arcade, but it looks fine to me. Set 30 years after the robots take over, Te

Diablo 4’s crypts feel more hateful than Diablo 3’s. The Sheltering Highland Trousers of Grounding gave me +6 damage reduction from enemies out of melee range, and +13 lightning damage resistance. Turning into “lightning incarnate” with Conduit was fun for showing off to the two players I encountered on the road. I had fun playing the Diablo 4 demo, but it’s just a statement of intent. It’s encouraging on the whole, but I’ll need more than 40 minutes of poking at Diablo 4’s bloated corpses befor

Key characters like Jaina Proudmoore and Sylvanas Windrunner would have been given more “camera time” in Warcraft 3 Reforged. It was because they knew it meant changes to the original voice acting—and those fans love the original voice acting. Matt Morris, senior 2 game designer on Warcraft 3 Reforged, told me the team backed away from retconning the story to WoW because fans wanted to hear the original voice actors and sound effects. (Image credit: Blizzard)They ended up redesigning certain loc
