Fallout’s colorful mascot Vault Boy stands in stark contrast to the grim, violent, post-apocalyptic reality of the role-playing game franchise.

If you've been online at all since the Fallout show aired, you'll have seen a wave of angry New Vegas fans claiming the series contradicts the game and that Todd Howard and Bethesda are working to erase Obsidian's work in some machiavellian conspiracy.

From duplicate items to glitching out the health bar and stamina so that Link becomes truly unkillable, players have discovered seemingly infinite ways to mess with the game's building blocks.

Intel has announced that its next-gen Lunar Lake "Core Ultra 200" CPUs will offer over 100 AI TOPs to carry the AI PC momentum forward.

In , weapons are a big concern, as everything outside the Master Sword will be destroyed once its durability is used up. However, duplicating weapons can help alleviate this frustration and give your favorite items a longer life. To do this, players must use one of the many glitches still operating in the game, even several years after its release.

Are you ready to dive into the longest list of new item affixes in Diablo 4? Here are some of the available affixes through Tempering, one of two new crafting systems coming with Diablo 4 Season 4. After a first look, it seems that Tempered Affixes will play a massive role in customizing your build while also being able to simply prioritize offensive, defensive, and utility stats.Disclaimer: This is not a complete list of all Tempered Affixes coming with Diablo 4 Season 4. Our data set is also based on PTR data, so everything below is subject to change.

We've been hard at work datamining all the new changes for Diablo 4's first-ever PTR! Take a look at the raw data we've gathered below.Editor's Note: This datamined information comes directly from the Diablo 4 PTR client. While some of it may differ to what was described in patch notes, this is the current information live in the Diablo 4 Patch 1.4.0 PTR. These changes may have already entered the game due to the nature of Blizzard's release process — while the items aren't necessarily new to this specific patch release, they are new to the latest comparison of patch changes. Here are the datamined changes for build 1.4.0.51885, compared to 1.3.5.51869.

Blizzard has posted more Mythic+ dungeon tuning which includes more nerfs to problematic bosses! Note that we haven't seen the hotfixes for these yet changes yet.

I, a fool, created my Dragon's Dogma 2 character with the aim of being a wizened wizardly type, focused on the mysterious Trickster build. Since then, however, I've come to the conclusion that I should have been an archer, a decision cemented by the existence of one particular ability - the Martyr's Bolt.

We've datamined reputation levels for the Emerald Wardens rewards, a new faction introduced in Phase 3 Season of Discovery. Previous to today's build, we had a general sense of what items are associated with this new faction, but as of the April 1st update, Blizzard has attached reputation level requirements to many items including some we previously didn't highlight, such as Dream Imbued Arrow, Weapon Cleaning Cloth, and Nightmare Resonance Crystal. Here is what the Emerald Wardens reward at each reputation level:

There are more secret items and mechanics in Dragon’s Dogma 2 than almost any other game. You can accidentally lose an entire town to the Dragonsplague or miss out on the true ending if you’re not paying close enough attention. That’s not to mention all the secret items and weapons in the world. One incredibly powerful but risky item is known as the Unmaking Arrow. This is the most powerful weapon in the game, but it comes with a very interesting caveat. Plus, there are only two known ways to get them, meaning you need to pick your targets very carefully. If you think you can handle the power of this arrow and the responsibility it brings, here is where you can find it.

The best gaming keyboards don’t always need to be full-size. Tenkeyless (TKL) options can be just as great if not better, especially for those tight on gaming desk space or who want to take their keyboard on the go to a LAN party or tournament. So, if you’re okay with losing that number pad, consider a TKL mechanical gaming keyboard, like our favorite the Higround Basecamp 65. Even if that’s not for you, we’ve found three others; one is bound to fit your needs.

Helldivers 2 has supply lines that connect Super Earth to liberated planets. You can then follow the supply lines to Automaton and Terminid worlds to capture them. However, if a liberated planet's supply lines are cut off from Super Earth, it'll quickly fall into enemy hands. It's a pivotal part of understanding the Galactic War, but you can't view them in-game right now.

The latest leaks suggest that AMD's upcoming Zen 5 Ryzen 9000 CPUs could offer a staggering 40% performance improvement over the current Ryzen 7000 processors. This revelation comes amid intense anticipation for the next generation of desktop processors slated for release in late 2024.

Fall damage is a beast in Dragon's Dogma 2 all of its own. There you are, minding your business on a slippery, slanted rooftop when, all of a sudden, you hurl off the side and land flat on your face as your pawns point and laugh at you like Nelson in The Simpsons. Luckily, there's a way to avoid leaving your entrails on the pavement.

Intel's next-gen Arrow Lake & Raptor Lake-H Refresh mobility CPUs are going to be branded under the Core Ultra 200 & Core 200H branding.

How do you answer the Sphinx's riddles in Dragon's Dogma 2? A side quest called A Game of Wits will see you face off against a legendary creature known as the Sphinx in, well, a game of wits. She'll task you with answering a number of riddles, most of which require thinking outside of the box. Answering these riddles correctly will net you a bunch of rare items as rewards.

In Dragon's Dogma 2, you can get an incredibly powerful weapon called the Unmaking Arrow which is "said to kill [whatever it hits] instantly." However, once you've fired it from your bow, the game automatically saves and removes it from your inventory forever. As DD2 only has one save file, that means you don't get another shot. Miss or waste the arrow and you're out of luck.

Intel's upcoming Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPUs and Lunar Lake-MX Mobility CPUs have been spotted in the latest shipping manifesto leak.

The Sphinx riddles in Dragon's Dogma 2 make up one of the most demanding side quests in the whole game, so you need to have your wits about you.

Diablo 4's Patch 1.4.0 introduces 8 new Legendary Aspects. This includes new Aspects available to all classes and new class-specific Aspects! Diablo 4 PTR Patch Notes: Patch 1.4.0

Rogues are seeing some large buffs in the PTR and Patch 1.4.0 for Diablo 4, including huge buffs to Grenade abilities as well as numerous bug fixes. Diablo 4 PTR Patch Notes: Patch 1.4.0 Rogue Class Overview

Dragon's Dogma 2 is, to put it mildly, an atypical RPG. To put it less mildly, Capcom was well and truly off its rocker and on a bender with this one. Exhibit A: the Unmaking Arrow, an arrow so powerful that, per its hilariously blunt in-game description, it auto-saves the game when fired, "so choose your moment with due care." Dragon's Dogma 2's approach to game design – friction-first, rule-breaking, and seriously unserious – has sparked some division but ultimately earned the game critical acclaim, and the Unmaking Arrow in particular has been lauded by many veteran game developers.

Almost as beloved as their avatars, mangakas often leave a personal note with each new work they produce. Few, though, are doing it better than Undead Unluck creator Yoshifumi Tozuka.

Fang came highly recommended.

The newest pictures of Intel's next-gen Lunar Lake-MX CPU powering thin & light platforms have been leaked by Igor's Lab.

As you level up your Vocations and character in Dragon’s Dogma 2, you will earn XP and Dcp. The former will contribute to you leveling up and passively getting stronger, while the latter needs to be spent on unlocking new skills for your current Vocation. There are 10 total Vocations you can eventually unlock and use, and each one has a dozen or more skills to unlock and test out, and yet you can only use four at any given time. That’s a lot of possible skills to try out and potentially waste your DCP on. Instead, we’ll help you min-max your build right from the start by recommending the best skills you should get for each and every Vocation in the game.

Intel's next-generation Battlemage "Xe2-HPG" GPUs have potentially been spotted within the SiSoftware Sandra database.

The world of Dragon's Dogma 2 is sprawling and dense, with hundreds of materials, chests, secrets, and much, much more to find as you explore. The map isn't uncovered until you manually trek through wherever it is you want to go, too. Luckily, we have an interactive map for Dragon's Dogma 2 to show you locations for spots to rest, Seeker's Tokens, Ferrystones, Portcrystals, and more.

Blizzard has revealed a few new Legendary Aspects and Aspect changes coming in Patch 1.4.0 with Season 4. Let's take a look at what is new and what has changed for some of the Aspects in Diablo 4. Season 4 PTR Overview — Campfire Chat Summary Itemization Update Summary All of these changes are subject to change before they hit live servers on May 14. Some of the Legendary Aspect descriptions can be incomplete. This is only a small portion of what is to come for Aspects with Patch 1.4.0. The summary does not include changes to value ranges as those are being overhauled across the board with the reworked Codex of Power. Some potential changes to Aspects that could be spotted during the Campfire Chat may have also not been included due to the new Codex of Power system shortening descriptions of Aspects, which leads to parts of their description being left out.

More Plunderstorm hotfixes have been pushed to live servers today which now also includes Rime Arrow and Faeform nerfs.

Rise of the Ronin is the latest joint from Team Ninja, and like most of their games, challenging combat built around a number of unique systems is core to the game. Being successful in combat in Rise of the Ronin requires mastery of parries, stances, Ki, and more, which can be a bit mind boggling at first. But don’t worry too much as we have some tips that will have you slicing off heads in no time…

After dying several times to an introductory worm boss that Path of Exile 2 had me face, I started to wonder if I was missing something while playing as the Ranger class. The grind to this early-level boss hadn’t unlocked a ton of Skill Gems for me, and the few I had slotted weren’t combining together to make a power combo like I had become accustomed to during the Affliction League that’s currently ongoing in Path of Exile. Speaking with other, much better players than myself who I met at the event it turned out I wasn’t the only one that took a try or two on the boss. It was time to get back to the grind and come back at it with better gear.

Plunderstorm has been out for a couple hours and players are already forming experience. From our experience so far, here's the best skills to try to get a Solo Victory in Plunderstorm!

With Plunderstorm now live, there is a veritable treasure trove of new abilities to try! Split into 10 offensive and 10 utility spells with four ranks, players can equip two of each to mix and match a new build with each playthrough! Collecting lower level versions of the same spell will increase its rank, though lucky players may also find higher quality versions outright. Learn more about the 60-player PvEvP battle royale Plunderstorm event in our dedicated content overview guide! Patch 10.2.6 Plunderstorm OverviewSlash and Health Brew are baseline spells that all players will have access to at all times in Plunderstorm. Other spells may be hot swapped as they are found throughout the event, though players may only have two offensive and two utility skills equipped at a time! Each additional rank for offensive spells reduces the cooldown by 2 seconds. Some spells also appear to have their damage increased or cast time affected.

A reputable tech insider has revealed more details about the upcoming Intel Lunar Lake CPU lineup, including a notable 50% performance boost over previous generation Meteor Lake mobile processors. Leaks and speculation suggest that the new Lunar Lake CPUs from Intel will launch by the end of 2024 alongside Arrow Lake.

Intel CEO, Pat Gelsinger, is going to showcase next-gen client and data center CPUs during the Computex 2024's opening keynote in June.

The LLVM 18.1 release has seen new support for Intel's next-gen Panther Lake client & Clearwater Forest server CPUs.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from Dragon’s Dogma 2. I have Dark Arisen in my Steam library and a paltry 70 minutes of gametime that is likely going to increase in the coming weeks. But while I may be inexperienced compared to those already aware of Dogma’s greatness, I can safely say that my preview session broke my hype meter. I cannot wait to play more. After being dropped into a random save that started me in the middle of a town with the Mystic Spearhead Vocation, I wasn’t really sure of where to go. But that was the beauty of this demo. Dragon’s Dogma 2 organically gave me plenty of options for what to do next, and there’s no wrong answer. I was almost immediately greeted by a traveler asking me to find their Jadeite Orb, because if it wasn’t found, his master could have him killed. Morris, a shopkeeper, told me that his grandson Rodge had gone missing and a villager informed him he was dragged off by wolves. When I started talking to people in town, I met Folkes, who told me about a town north of Venworth that was overrun with fell beasts. All of these options were there to pursue in addition to the main storyline.

Optical character recognition, or OCR for short, is nothing new. We've had it for years, and aside from the occasional accuracy improvement, how we use it has mostly remained the same. We can identify text from photos, translate it, or use it to kick off a web search. Gboard, the default keyboard on many Android phones and tablets, is adding a handy new feature that takes advantage of OCR.

"I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee," is probably one of the most recognizable quotes from any video game, despite only being a throwaway bark in Skyrim.

In , both Princess Zelda and Queen Sonia of ancient Hyrule are revealed to possess Time magic. However, they may not be the only characters in the game to have access to this power. Various forms of magic can be seen wielded in the game, from Riju’s ability to conjure lightning to the healing magic possessed by the foreign Zora Yona.

My introduction to the Momodora series came all the way back in 2016, with the fourth entry in the series – Momodora: Reverie Under The Moonlight. Despite jumping in at game number four, I didn’t feel lost at all – in fact, the lack of context made my journey with the game and its world even more impactful. In the time since that game, there’s been a parallel entry in the series named Minoria, but no direct sequel until now. With Momodora: Moonlit Farewell, plot threads I’m very familiar with, and ones I’ve never even experienced, all come together in a conclusion to the series that isn’t just a culmination of the biggest narrative moments, but also a delightful culmination of the best ideas and mechanics of the five games that came prior.
