If you use Tinder, you’re probably just looking for a quick hookup or, if you’re really ambitious, the love of your life. What you might not expect to find, however, is a new World of Warcraft guild. But then again, looking at the bio in the guild’s Tinder profile, who wouldn’t swipe right? Adam runs the guild with his girlfriend and says that this is his first experience using Tinder. I would be about to swipe right, and she’d be like, ‘Don’t swipe right on that person.

Having spent the last few days chatting with Duggy and a few of his peers, it’s clear the above sentiment is shared throughout the GTA machinima community. “The machinima community is one thing, we’re being hurt by this, but there’s so many more people out there who’re being affected,” he says. “If they were to release a modding tool, what’s to say someone cracks open that modding tool and basically reverse engineering it and turning it into another OpenIV. This could put them in a box if they w

And so it has, once again: The 2017 Steam Summer Sale is now underway, and runs from June 22 to July 25. This year’s sale features a “Summer Sale Stickers” quest, to earn “stickers for your Summer Sale Sticker book.” Slap ’em in your book, and once you’ve got them all, craft the 2017 Summer Sale badge, which will also get you a tradeable emoticon and profile background. Do note that, unlike Steam cards, stickers and sticker packs can only be earned through the Summer Sale quests—you can’t buy th

According to Microsoft, the virus exists, but the true tally of infected machines is closer to 5 million. Check Point called Fireball’s spread to 250 million PCs and 20 percent of corporate networks around the world “alarming.” While Check Point only recently discovered Fireball, Microsoft says it has been tracking the virus since 2015

The latest test build (version 16226) for what will ultimately become the Fall Creators Update for Windows 10 contains a new GPU monitor in the Task Manager. The new GPU monitor that is being added to the Task Manager does not go into the same level of detail. And if you hit the Details tab, the Task Manager will break down GPU utilization for each process. Microsoft’s Fall Creators Update will be the second major upgrade to Windows 10 this year. There is no set release date for the Fall Creator

It’s the PC Gamer E3 special! Samuel, who was at E3, and Phil, who watched it at home in his pants, gather to discuss their most anticipated games from the Electronic Three. Discussed: The Electrically Entertaining Extravaganza (Three)This week: Samuel Roberts , Phil SavageShow notes: Here’s the Anachronox shuttle recreation . Also, let’s use this space to mention how Phil was wrong about Skull and Bones being multiplayer only . The PC Gamer UK Podcast is a weekly podcast about PC gaming.

Darkest Dungeon is one of the hardest, most infuriating and yet most fantastic games I’ve ever played. The game’s Curios, however, at times verge upon unfair, which in turn threatens to compromising the game’s otherwise deft risk/reward balance. “We have a plan for solving this and it got cut for the Crimson Court update because other things were truly more important (such as the Crimson Court content itself). When pressed on where Darkest Dungeon will go following its recently launched Crimson

The ambitious MMO Ashes of Creation was successfully crowdfunded in just one day last month, before ultimately accumulating a staggering $3,271,809—this over its initial $750,000 ask. Developer Intrepid Studios has now unveiled its ‘Summer Crowdfunding Campaign’, which marks an extension period designed to “benefit new backers as well as those who joined us on Kickstarter.” Alongside a number of crowdfunding packages, site visitors are met with the following message:”Welcome to our Summer Exclus

The Overwatch Contenders groups phase saw day one play out for both the North American and European teams last weekend, June 17 to June 18. In group C, fan-favorites Ninjas in Pyjamas also achieved mediocrity, going an even 1-1-1 upon conclusion of the first day of groups. GamersOrigin vs. Ninjas in PyjamasPoint A on Hollywood gives fits to even the best of teams. With some fine tuning, I’d go so far as to say they have the potential to be one of the best teams in professional Overwatch for a ve

Though PUBG seems inescapable now, Battle Royale has been a mainstay of the streaming world since its inception. The ARMA 3 and H1Z1 versions were very popular among Twitch streamers, something Greene himself was relatively oblivious to. Creating it from the ground up meant finally merging the various elements Greene liked from across each edition of Battle Royale into something that felt definitive. Battlegrounds isn’t a drastic change from the assorted versions of Battle Royal one can find onl

First teased at Jump Festa 2017 in Japan, Dynasty Warriors 9 aims to shake up the enduring weapon-based fight ’em up by introducing an open world setting—something producer Akihiro Suzuki has labelled a “rebirth” of the series. Now, the ninth main series instalment offers a peek at its typically chaotic, backs-to-the-wall brawling against some lovely-looking forested landscapes, pagoda-lined hills and sparse desert planes. It wouldn’t be Dynasty Warriors otherwise, eh? We also know that all 83 p

Blizzard launched the latest update for Overwatch this week, which ushered in the new Horizon Lunar Colony map as well as a host of tweaks and changes. But some players are reportedly experiencing another major change that most won’t even notice: the effectiveness of aimbots has been vastly diminished. That’s according to a poster on the official Overwatch subreddit, who reports that players in the Korean Overwatch forums have noticed the change. As we’ve seen before, cheating and hacking in the

Valve announced in a TF2 blog post that new balance changes are coming to the game in a “major update,” and this time around it’s actually telling people about the update before it goes live. “In the past, we’ve made blog posts about changes we’ve already shipped or stuff we’ve tossed onto the smoldering scrap-heap of failed ideas,” Valve wrote. Because of that, the update will require that the bat be deployed, rather than simply carried, in order for the triple-jump ability to be used. Ahead of

Given that Tekken 7 was the first instalment to hit PC, many expected it to launch in a less-than-perfect state. But it turned out the PC version was actually very good, helped along by the fact, no doubt, that it was developed on PC using Unreal Engine 4. There were a few lingering issues though, which a new patch will hopefully iron out. Elsewhere, hackers will now be matched with other hackers, thus sheltering those who wish to play the game properly. If you’ve yet to play the game, maybe our

Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1050 Ti comes with 768 CUDA cores, 48 texture units, and 32 ROPs. The 1050 Ti, on the other hand, has a meager transistor increase of just 0.36 billion. At 1080p, this card achieved 43fps on average in Far Cry Primal, contrasting starkly with the GTX 1060 3GB’s 61fps. In fact, it was so bad, it forced us to reach back into our archives to see how well the GTX 960 scored in synthetic benchmarks compared to the 1050 Ti. Overall, 1050 Ti remains a viable budget option, but If y

Coming off a game like Life is Strange, Dontnod’s Vampyr is a wildly ambitious RPG. At the heart of Vampyr is the tension between Jonathan’s hippocratic oath to protect life as a doctor and his need to take it as a vampire. During the demo, I was offered a fascinating look into how all of this is married with the story. After using Jonathan’s vampire vision to investigate the hospital rooms of the missing patients and glean some clues about their disappearance, we set out into the night to track

That makes it sound like Destiny 2’s post-release content plan is similar to Destiny 1’s, just a bit more efficient. There really is a lot of content, and we’ve really paid attention to that, making sure it’s all new, it’s all exciting. DS: With the supers that we’re bringing into Destiny 2 from Destiny 1, we refer to them as being remastered. I think we’ve amped up that—it’s less fire and forget or just button mash, and more about skillful engagement. Last one: should we expect substantial chan

For those of you who don’t like to share the booty, or get ganked by tricked-out frigates, there will be a proper single-player campaign included as well. “[Skull and Bones] will offer a narrative campaign which will be integrated into the game and will not be something aside of the multiplayer experience. In this campaign, players will encounter iconic characters and memorable rival pirates. “We like to say that this is just the tip of the iceberg of what we have to show for Skull & Bones.” Sku

But this year, Blizzard is expanding the party into a new hall at the Anaheim Convention Center, and so it’s putting a third batch of tickets on sale in July. Everything about round three of BlizzCon ticket sales will be the same as the first two: They’ll be available from universe.com, and will go for $199 each plus applicable taxes.
