If you’re a new owner of a Steam Deck handheld, first of all: congratulations! You’re one of the lucky ones, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if people who ordered just minutes after you end up having to wait for another six or twelve months. But after signing in to your Steam account, you may still need to trick out your new console in multiple ways, and we’re here to help....
What’s back to school season without someone being duct-taped to a flag pole or an elaborate fire drill hoax? As the song goes, “A long time ago, we used to be friends…” but it’s hard to believe how long it’s really been. Can you believe Veronica Mars started 15 years ago this month, Marshmallows? Lucky for us, our sarcastic Nancy Drew has stuck around, finding new life time and time again, and currently streaming all seasons of the cult hit show on Hulu....

Key Points: Moore’s Law isn’t a law at all; it’s a general insight into technology that proposes the computing power would double every two years. Specifically, it refers to the amount of transistors that could fit on a circuit would be doubling with in the timeframe, which would correlate to doubling the processing power. Moore’s Law has actually slimmed down to doubling every 18 months!The future of the law is not exactly bright, because cooling limitation based on the power to size relationship....
Nevertheless, the film is always worth remembering on Nov. 5 (or any other day), because director James McTeigue and the Wachowskis’ best screenplay to date succeeded at shrewdly adapting the V for Vendetta graphic novel to the big screen. Alan Moore purists might forever remain skeptical of such praise since by reimagining a seminal anti-Thatcher ‘80s hit piece, the Wachowskis essentially reworked the entire narrative as a brutally anti-Bush allegory (and reconfigured Weaving’s V and Natalie Portman’s Evey as a surprisingly convincing star-crossed pair of lovers from The Phantom of the Opera mold)....
Everyone needs a good laugh now and then, right? This year’s been a veritable gold mine for funny shit. I mean, who could forget Danny ‘I’m fucking Danny Dyer’ Dyer calling David Cameron a twat? X Factor being beaten in the ratings by Strictly for another year is always worth a chuckle, as is Cheryl’s bizarre performance on Simon Cowell’s musical circus that saw her licking her hand seductively. Love made her do it, apparently....

At last night’s Keighleys, The Last Campfire was revealed to be the next game from the folks behind No Man’s Sky. And I am already more interested in this than I ever was No Man’s Sky. Positioned as a Hello Games Short, the beautiful two minute trailer showed a group of small hooded fellas sailing around what looks like an ancient civilisation. And there’s a big, cute, sleepy pig in there as well....
Bethesda Softworks recently released a trailer for Fallout 76 titled “Let’s Work With Others.” The Vault-Tec infomercial cites the “Art of Cooperation,” or, working with other people to achieve your goals. And of course, in typical Fallout fashion, over-the-top cartoon violence ensues. Fallout 76 multiplayer For starters, Vault Boy happily meets new Vault Dwellers in the trailer only to see one of them die to an Assaultron. Next thing you know, he replaces old friends with new ones, taking out super mutants and aliens....
After two series of bounty hunting action and a spin-off starring Boba Fett, Disney’s gearing up for The Mandalorian Season 3. Fans are eager for more from Pedro Pascal’s Mando and the adorable Grogu, of course. But when can we expect to see the series land on Disney+? Here’s what we know so far. The Mandalorian Season 3 – predicted release date Disney had actually confirmed a third season of The Mandalorian some time ago....
Obsidian is finally back with its next nihilistic RPG The Outer Worlds. The company is most well-known for its amazing additions to the Bethesda Fallout series, Fallout: New Vegas. And, The Outer Worlds is unapologetically based upon the mechanics of the present-day Fallout games, complete with a pseudo VATS system, companions, and even the perks. Though Outer World’s Perk tree might be a bit more boring in terms of the “wackiness” of the perks, it’s definitely one of the most balanced iterations....
A leaker has claimed that the PlayStation 5’s retail price will rival that of its predecessor and has revealed its launch date (via TechRadar). The PlayStation 4 and its Pro edition were sent out into the wild with a price tag of $399. If the souped-up PlayStation 5 sets customers back only $100 more, that’s quite impressive. We don’t know for sure, but the supposed release date does tally with what has been previously announced about the next-generation PlayStation....
This article comes from Den of Geek UK. In compiling a list of these great one-episode wonders, the show’s longevity makes it harder than you’d think. Characters who are most memorable for their first episodes, like Mindy Simmons, Hollis Hurlbut, and Mr Bergstrom, have all recurred in more recent episodes in one form or another, and so we haven’t featured them in the following round-up. Furthermore, we’re not counting celebrities playing themselves in guest spots or any of the various could-have-been and never-were characters from ‘Treehouse Of Horror’ specials....
Opening the new year in style, The Sims 4 team has released a short trailer for some new DLC content, Tiny Living Stuff Pack. Tiny home builds are a staple of many Sims builders and this pack looks set to appeal to all those who love to think small. As with any Stuff Pack, it comes with build buy items and clothing as well as a minor gameplay feature, which in this case appears to be centered around a new lot trait....
It seems that fate doesn’t want to give Tom Holland a break, as the upcoming movie based on the Uncharted video games has lost its fifth director. The Uncharted franchise has always seemed tailor-made for a movie adaptation, but it has been buried so deep in different levels of development hell that even Dante couldn’t find it. The first Uncharted movie was announced back in 2008, with Nathan Fillion petitioning hard for the role of Nathan Drake....
Today is the International Day of Peace, and the games industry’s social media is getting in on the good vibes. Xbox UK kicked off proceedings by sending a tweet out to PlayStation UK, inviting them to dinner. Unfortunately, despite the good intentions, perhaps PlayStation really doesn’t jive with things being Better Together. PlayStation UK doesn’t seem to want to get down with any cross-platform shenanigans, giving a blunt, and kind of harsh, response:...
