Fallout games have never really been put together particularly well, but that's what gives them a lot of their charm. Would Fallout New Vegas really be the same game if Doc Brown's head didn't creepily spin around from time to time, or if bodies didn't clip into the ground slightly and result in a horribly malformed ragdoll of a human being? Basically, they're very buggy, which makes the fact that Fallout 3's sunlight has been secretly broken ever since launch not all that surprising.

While Black Temple Timewalking can award 493+ item level gear this week, we've also confirmed that the Cache of Timewarped Treasures quest reward can also drop the elusive Ashes of Al'ar!

In over a decade since the Burning Crusade, the Ashes of Al'ar are not particularly difficult to obtain at this point, as virtually any one at or near max level can quite easily solo Tempest Keep and defeat Kael'thas Sunstrider within, it remains a rare and highly coveted mount. Although a common misconception, it does not drop from Al'ar itself. Despite popular misconception, the Ashes drop from Kael'thas rather than Alar. Whether or not you are particularly interested in this mount, it's a good idea to head over to Shattrath and pick up Disturbance Detected: Black Temple anyway.

For just about as long as I can remember, products from The Army Painter have been judged a bit hit-or-miss by those in the painting community.

It just means we have what some would call an acquired taste, accumulating in many players finding ghoul characters pretty hot in particular.

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.

We all know that bugs represent an existential threat to the future of Super Earth and, by extension, to the players of Arrowhead's excellent Helldivers 2. However, the ongoing Galactic War effort is being undermined by one more treacherous than most. This makes determining precisely how much Liberty has been spread recently tricky and doubtless will impact morale.

When you check into a hotel room, what do you do? You immediately poke around. You scope out the outlets, pull back the curtain, open the closet, see what’s in the minibar, make sure there’s nothing gross in the bathroom. Only when you have a full sense of what’s around you do you sit down and think about unpacking.

Here’s an odd one: the developer of Helldivers 2 has warned players against having snowball fights because they’re causing the game to crash.

Imagine the frustration of an unexpected mishap that leaves your bike damaged while you're on a thrilling road trip. The financial burden can be heavy enough to cast a cloud over your travel plans. However, with two-wheeler insurance or motor insurance at your disposal, such stressful scenarios can easily be transformed into minor inconveniences. 

Greetings, Adventurers!

Connections is the latest puzzle game from the New York Times. The game tasks you with categorizing a pool of 16 words into four secret (for now) groups by figuring out how the words relate to each other. The puzzle resets every night at midnight and each new puzzle has a varying degree of difficulty. Just like Wordle, you can keep track of your winning streak and compare your scores with friends.

The newest is available to solve and for once in a long time we feel like this was on the easier side of things. None of the categories were too niche or overly specific. A few words seemed to match up well with others despite being incorrect, but overall a little determination helped us score a win in today's game.

This week, Capcom told IGN that performance issues with the PC version of Dragon’s Dogma 2 may be linked to the heavy amount of CPU demanded from NPCs in the game. Now, in response, fans are plotting an NPC murder spree in a bid to boost the game’s frame-rate.

Last year, Ubisoft announced that it had created an AI tool that could potentially generate NPC dialogue, much to the dismay of pretty much everyone. Ubisoft's games have never really had the most expressive or interesting NPCs, and many feared that giving them AI-generated dialogue would make them even blander than they already are.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 has arrived, and the game is a bit of beast on pretty much any hardware you’ll play it on. Not only is it a “dynamic” 30fps on current-gen consoles (in other words, often under 30fps) but not even a high end PCs are free from troubles – Wccftech’s reviewer Alessio Palumbo had issues despite rocking an RTX 4090 and a Ryzen 7800X3D. A lack of promised DLSS 3 at launch also means there are limited ways to smooth over the problems.

Update: Arrowhead has offered a temporary fix for the issue of accepting friend requests from other platforms in Helldivers 2.

If you’ve ever tried to stealth your way past a Terminid patrol in Helldivers 2 and found yourself somehow spotted despite your best efforts to creep silently about and remain out of sight, there might have been a very good reason for that: it turns out the horrible bugs can smell you.

Co-op sci-fi shooter Helldivers 2 is known more for its dramatic air strikes and over-the-top weapons than stealth elements.

Samsung has been reported on a few occasions to be struggling with its 3nm GAA yields, and while the logical move might have been to find ways to improve that percentage, the Korean foundry is making a monumental leap towards mass producing its 2nm node. However, according to one update, the company is not actually pursuing the production of 2nm wafers but has labeled its second-generation 3nm technology with the same name. Naturally, this can cause confusion for Samsung’s clients and mislead them into thinking that they are receiving wafers on a cutting-edge manufacturing process.
