We’ve all imagined ourselves as the stars (or the villains) of a reality show, right? What could we say, how could we act, or who could we woo to bag the ultimate prize? Everyman Trevor Hills - with his office getup, dad-sized ‘tache, and lanky build - isn’t quite so lucky in the upcoming American Arcadia. You see, he’s unknowingly stuck in a reality TV show where the penalty for unpopularity is death, and considering he has the personality of a pencil, his only option is to escape in genre-bending fashion. See below!

A California bakery has crafted an astonishingly lifelike, spine-tingling Clicker sculpture made entirely out of bread.

The surprise sequel Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 was announced back in July, and it struck us as something of a do-over, but with a heavy emphasis on more: More stages and updates of existing stages, a new campaign mode, more modes in general, crossplay, a visual spit-shine to every existing character, new minigames, and of course new characters. And now we've got the reveal of the final character coming to the lineup: It's the Avatar firebender Azula, princess of the Fire Nation and daughter of Fire Lord Ozai.

GTA 6 rumors have gotten so out of hand that fans are now using the moon to predict the game's reveal date.

Starfield players have been testing the game's ship building features ever since launch, creating all sorts of weird and wonderful vessels that vary greatly in how spaceworthy they actually are. You could create something cool like a replica of the The Normandy from Mass Effect, or you could terrorize the Settled Systems with a big cube or a ship the size of a bathtub.

Cyberpunk 2077’s massive expansion, Phantom Liberty, has arrived, and fans are loving the chance to check out the coveted Dogtown, and play through their tense spy-thriller. There’s been a lot of praise thrown around as fans return to the game following its original launch in December 2020, and some fans have discovered that they can purchase the expansion but lock themselves out of it.

Google has unveiled a new feature, Google-Extended, offering website publishers the ability to exclude their data from contributing to the development of Google's AI models.

Apple was never serious about replacing Google with Microsoft's Bing as the default search engine in Macs and iPhones, but kept the possibility open as a "bargaining chip'' to extract bigger payments from Google, a Microsoft executive testified Wednesday in the biggest U.S. antitrust trial in a quarter century.

Reddit is removing the ability to opt out of ad personalization based on app activity.

If there's one thing I love in this world, it's trinkets. Tchotchkes. Doodads and thingamajigs. Nothing enables this desire for collecting crud more than a good old-fashioned Bethesda game. Forks, mugs, spoons, bowls—you name it, it's probably in my inventory.

Spoiler Warning: The following article includes minor spoilers for Cyberpunk 2077's Phantom Liberty expansion, mainly surrounding a decision in the fourth main mission: Lucretia My Reflection.

Baldur's Gate 3 sometimes has a gang of naked men just off-screen, and we have no idea why.

Sega is canceling Creative Assembly's unreleased zero-gravity extraction shooter Hyenas.

Warzone’s DMZ mode may not scratch the same itch as more intense Extraction shooters like Tarkov, but it’s still a worthy addition to Call of Duty’s signature Battle Royale. Driving around Al Mazrah or the Resurgence maps and taking down enemies so you can steal all their goodies and get out of Dodge continues to be a fun way to kill time when you’re not in the mood to sweat it out in the more action-packed playlists.

Exploring Starfield's planets was previously a lot harder, Bethesda has revealed, before the developer decided to dial back some «very punitive» atmosphere effects.

If you land and go exploring on one of Starfield's many planets, you might become afflicted with a status effect. It won't bother you too much, though, and you can cure the effect with an item or a quick trip to a doctor.

I've walked on nearly 200 different planets in Starfield in environments ranging from frozen tundra to baking infernos to toxic atmospheres. And in all that time I've only suffered one affliction that I felt a need to rush to a doctor to fix: I contracted a lung condition that eventually got so bad it made sprinting consume my oxygen supply in a matter of seconds, and I didn't have the meds to cure it myself.

Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty launches today, and if you're planning on making a return trip to Night City, be cautious, as you can miss out on the expansion's main quest entirely if you mess up an early mission.

Reworked skill trees and new minigames aside, Cyberpunk 2077's 2.0 update includes a Ukrainian localisation of the game's million-plus-word script. It turns out the Ukrainian version is awash with references to Russia's on-going invasion of Ukraine, all of it seemingly in support of the latter. The news comes via Zone of Games, who have published a few side-by-side comparisons from the game's files, underlining differences between the English and Ukrainian translations in various bits of dialogue and menu text.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is a preem spy thriller adventure. However, if your V really isn't that interested in working with government types, you can choose not to sign on to a life of martinis shaken, not stirred.

Beloved robot friend simulator and first-person shooter Titanfall 2 has had a matchmaking problem for years. Even after its previous server issues were fixed, players would still be disconnected if they had to queue for any length of time.

When the treatment for a particularly nasty condition involves patients being sent into a ‘boning chamber’, you know you’re in for a good time. And the fact that this is featured in Galacticare tells you a fair bit about what this game is – an intergalactic riff on Theme Hospital and Two Point Hospital that has the same sense of pun-filled humour (just not usually quite so risqué).

It’s official — the Top 24 Men’s and Women’s Ratings for EA Sports FC 24 have been revealed, and amongst some other shake-ups, Cristiano Ronaldo has been moved out of the top 24.

First noticed by user WeirdConcern4666 on the Starfield subreddit, it's actually pretty easy to dip out of your ship and do a spacewalk thanks to two quick Starfield console commands. There's not much to do out there in the void at the moment, but doing a cheeky extravehicular activity (EVA) lends itself to some nice screenshots, and I'm excited for the modding potential here.

Starfield director Todd Howard has spoken about plans for the game that didn’t make the final cut, including the idea for a very neat Fallout reference. 

Things can get heated in combat in Baldur’s Gate 3, and the AoE and targeting system in the game has resulted in many players missing their mark when excited, as it’s easy to misclick and select the wrong target. This isn’t a problem in most games, but the fact that the battlefield itself is such a potent weapon in Baldur’s Gate 3 means that accidents are bound to happen.

Mobile payment services Cash App and Square have been down for the better part of the day, and have only started to restore partial functionality.

Last week, Toyota's Japanese factories were shut down due to a production server malfunction. Some kind of random failure would be an understandable—if not acceptable—reason for the malfunction, but it turns out the shutdown was the result of having insufficient disk space. Facepalm.

Megan Fox is now the official celebrity of videogames where demonic monsters pull people's guts out. She made her bid for the position with a bizarre Diablo 4 marketing campaign that involved her eulogising player's deaths. Now, she's stepping things up by providing her voice and likeness to Outworld vampire Nitara in Mortal Kombat 1. Look, I can't fault anyone for finding their niche. 

Toyota was forced to stop production at 12 car assembly plants late last month because a server ran out of disk space.

My forays into the Starfield ship builder tool have so far been utilitarian: a weapon upgrade here, an extra cargo bay there, and maybe a few more windows so my crew doesn't have to stare at white walls all day.

Starfield Schmarfield: True capsuleers know there's only one space game that scratches the parts others don't, and Eve Online never stops delivering the goods. One thing about its giant dust-ups, however, is that usually there's a good reason for them because real money's likely on the line. Two sides have been needling each other for months, the tension reaches a head, or a corporation ambushes a Titan and its allies scramble in to save it. Usually.

Today's GG WoW video discusses Overlays, which have recently jumped into the limelight as it's become clear that they have a tremendous amount of potential power. For a bit of history on this, you can also check out our post here. The story begins with Warcraftlogs creating a damage meter overlay to accurately show Augmentation Evokers' damage, which was received positively as a nice workaround for in-game damage meters. This out of game tool updated fairly quickly and led several players to begin experimenting with other tools they could make using the same source, the game's combat log file, which previously was largely thought to update too slowly for any useful mid-fight functionality.

This month's launch of the widely-celebrated Baldur's Gate 3 highlighted the often-overlooked topic of video game credits, and the fact that many people who work for hundreds of hours on a project sometimes still do not get their name recognised.

This week, the Earth has not been hit by a single solar storm. We have suffered some minor instances of radio blackouts and GPS disruptions due to solar winds, but apart from that, the Sun has remained quiet, even when a highly unstable sunspot, AR3405, has emerged in the Earth's view of the Sun. However, things could be changing. In the late hours of yesterday, strange radio emissions were detected, which is usually a warning sign for a solar flare eruption. Sure enough, a flare was set off and it did release a coronal mass ejection (CME), as per reports. The direction of the CME has not been confirmed so far, but there is a possibility that it could be Earth-bound.

Are out of game overlays the future of raiding in World of Warcraft?

Palia is a bucolic life simulator that focuses on players hanging out with their neighbors, growing crops, and building the perfect home.
