Sure, buying a premium gaming monitor will unquestionably give you a more enjoyable experience in whatever you play, but they’re not always necessary. B&H Photo is currently selling the ASUS VP239H-P 23-inch monitor for just $89.99, a savings of roughly $30 from the usual price (it’s $120 at Amazon right now). It’s a fairly basic monitor, only offering a 1080p resolution with a 60Hz refresh rate, but that’s to be expected for under $100. Other features include a built-in blue light filter (thoug

Each base houses a vault packed with enough loot to keep you set for the rest of the match. (Image credit: Epic Games)Blending into the scene and deceiving other players by role-playing a robotic NPC is a great joy. Another problem: the best loot is behind locked doors, and locked doors require a henchman’s eyes to open. Blending into the scene and deceiving other players by role-playing a robotic NPC is a great joy. With every new Fortnite season, I’m always asking myself where the hell it can

I’m not sure I’ll ever acquire one of the new organic spacecrafts that arrived with the No Man’s Sky Living Ships update. So, I may never actually get a Living Ship in No Man’s Sky to call my own. I even made a video of the strangest things I’ve found in the new No Man’s Sky update.

Seagate’s Firecuda 520 is one of a small handful of PCIe 4.0 SSDs on the market with incredibly fast read and write speeds. These drives don’t come cheap, but if you’re after one of the fastest SSDs on the market, the 1TB model is on sale at Amazon for $199.99 right now. To take full advantage of the speed this drive offers, you need a PCIe 4.0 platform. So far only AMD’s X570 chipset supports PCIe 4.0 in the consumer space. Even a comparatively slow SATA-based SSD is fine for gaming, and genera

Eurocom must have heard our groans because its new Nightsky RX 15 can be configured with a whopping 16TB of SSD storage. According to Eurocom, that’s a world record for a “lightweight” laptop. Outside of the storage configuration, you can outfit the Nightsky RX 15 other premium hardware.

Microsoft says that its next-generation console, the Xbox Series X, will include a GPU based on AMD’s second-generation Radeon DNA architecture (RDNA 2) and offer up 12 teraflops of graphics performance. That means that the Xbox Series X GPU is twice as powerful as the Xbox One X GPU, and more than eight times faster than the Xbox One’s. At 12 TFLOPs, the GPU inside the Xbox Series X is a tad faster than Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 2080 Super, and just a bit behind a 2080 Ti, currently the best graphic

After cancelling matches in China last month, Blizzard has decided to postpone another three weeks of Overwatch League games, this time in South Korea. The Overwatch League made the official announcement on Twitter. This means that the Seoul Dynasty home matches planned for March 7-8 have been postponed indefinitely, likely because South Korea now has the highest amount of coronavirus cases outside of China, according to Vox. The coronavirus has had a major impact on the gaming industry outside

Courtesy of modding group Floo Network, you can now learn how to cast spells and brew potions in Minecraft. And although the Minecraft School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is still pretty green, it has a playable alpha currently available to all aspiring spellcasters. As well as centering on a massive replica of Hogwarts, the Minecraft School for Witchcraft and Wizardry mod is jam-packed with new quests and items, taking you everywhere from the solace of a snowy Hogsmeade to the shady side streets

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia creator Rob McElhenney recently opened up about why the animated Minecraft film he was set to direct got spiked. He went on to state that what attracted him to a potential Minecraft film was the fact that it wasn’t attached to a fixed narrative. All day long they’re being told what to do, how to dress, do your homework, go to bed. “Your boss is telling you what to do all day long, or your spouse is. After pitching this idea to Warner Bros., McElhenney’s Minecraf

(Image credit: Antoine Zanuttini)If you enjoy building conveyor belts and depleting natural resources, then you’ve been pretty well served lately with games like Factorio and Mindustry. Enter DeFacto, a free production game you can play in your browser. Inspired by Factorio, and released a while ago, DeFacto is a still-impressive game where you mine resources in space, and then usher them towards vending machines to earn a steady stream of moolah. There’s a lot here, as in most production games,

Thanks to Arcanum you’ll finally become a truly powerful spellcaster. Even with Arcanum downloaded you’ll still need to put in quite a lot of work to acquire the more than 100 new spells the mod introduces. Other spells are tied into custom quests and require defeating some tough bosses added by the mod. And there are also spells you’ll need to create by hand at new magical crafting stations that now appear throughout the world. ElementaryWhat’s really interesting about the Arcanum mod is the di

Crafty players in Red Dead Redemption 2 have figured out a way of reducing fall damage by making themselves sick. VG247 recently reported on the phenomenon, in which you intentionally ingest specific plants with the sole purpose of puking your ring up. There’s a very scientific breakdown of why inhaling vast amounts of bullrush will make you do a puke over on Reddit. With enough airtime, you’ll start puking during the fall, which creates a vomit rope and eradicates fall damage. In related news,

A batch of over 20 Resident Evil 3 Remake screenshots has recently surfaced online. Resident Evil 3 Remake will be built using the same over-the-shoulder camera angle featured in last year’s Resident Evil 2 remake. It comes bundled with asymmetrical multiplayer game Resident Evil Resistance, which recently had two new playable villains and maps announced and operates similarly to Dead by Daylight. Resident Evil 3 is due to launch on April 3, 2020. In related news, Resident Evil 7 recently broke

Over the last few months Polish company CD Projekt have had their market value go from $6.8 billion to over $8 billion, thanks to the popular Netflix series boosting sales of The Witcher games by as much as 554%, as well as the release of a Switch port of The Witcher 3 (which now has save game integration with Steam and GOG copies, by the way). Anticipation for Cyberpunk 2077 obviously remains strong as well. The number one slot in Europe still belongs to France’s Ubisoft Entertainment, whose va

Spawn’s creator Todd McFarlane recently tweeted out some photos of a new “Mortal Kombat Spawn” action figure showing the grimdark superhero holding a sword, standing on top of a decapitated enemy, and wearing a very chunky spiked booty on one leg.

SPAWN @MortalKombat action figure is an incredibly DETAILED ( true McFarlane Toys fashion) 7″ scale figure designed with 22 points of ultra-articulation and can achieve full range posing. #MK11 pic.twitter.com/FPS4yOdPNkFeb

After a few years in Early Access, siege weapon playground Besiege released this week to little fanfare. Which is inappropriate because it is in theory, at least, about the age of fanfares. At its launch, gifs of Besiege in action were a staple on Twitter and Reddit, so I’d like to show off some of my favorites from a casual perusal of some out there. You can find Besiege on Steam for $5. Now I will make with the GIFs:Anywho, that’s all for now lads.

Well, I can’t in any way help you with that but I can help you with The Division 2, which is returning to last summer’s special Kenly College event for a few weeks. Kenly College is opening it’s doors again on Tuesday 25th! It’ll likely get rotated back out after a while, so you should take the chance to try it now. The reward is a pretty sweet snake-lookin’ gun called the Diamondback, which hits hard and gives you an armor boost. The Division 2 is also on sale for $3 right now on the Epic Games

Action-RPG Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem had a rocky launch with malfunctioning multiplayer servers, but developer Wolcen Studio is moving forward. The Wolcen 1.0.4.0 hotfix is here, addressing both server issues and balance concerns. The rest of the tweaks and fixes generally focus on stability, bugs, and server overhauls. Despite the initial issues, Wolcen has received a lot of attention for an indie-published game. Here’s our Wolcen skill tree guide, to help you navigate that huge tree of powers, a
