| 9:05a | Finally, a game about a boy who thinks he's a tomb searching for a dead body to bury inside of him  The first thing that happened to me in the demo for The Little Tomb: The Maholova Club And The Search For A Dead Body was a stuffed horse on a spring telling me it knew when and how I'd die. Many such horses. You play as Kofun, a boy shaped like a keyhole tomb who is also sort of an actual keyhole tomb but also a boy who wants to fulfill his destiny as a keyhole tomb, namely by finding a dead body to bury inside of himself. He lives in a park with his mate Haniwa, who is a Haniwa. Haniwa's secret is that he's very good at calligraphy. Here's some visual orientation in case you're not caught up yet. |
| 9:32a | ZeniMax Union say they're fighting for staff left in limbo by Microsoft cancelling MMO as part of mass layoffs  As part of their mass layoffs earlier this month, Microsoft cancelled an MMORPG that was in the works at The Elder Scrolls Online developers ZeniMax Online Studios. Now, the union that represents a number of devs left in limbo by that game's canning have issued an update about the process of fighting for their futures. ZOS' MMO, codenamed Project Blackbird, wasn't the only game Microsoft pulled the plug on as they let go of around 9k people. Rare's Everwild and The Initiative's Perfect Dark reboot were also wiped out, with the latter studio being shuttered to boot. |
| 11:15a | I'm travelling this week, and I wish I'd ordered one of these power banks for my Steam Deck  One of the best things about my job is that I get to fly around the world and go to events, and while I’m off to Warframe’s TennoCon this week (and very excited about it) there’s always a bit of a panic about what to pack to keep oneself sane on a long flight. |
| 11:44a | Helldivers 2's latest patch lets you impale baddies with flags, as the bots take aim at the Democracy Space Station  Fresh Helldivers 2 patch alert. This one's patch 01.003.200, and it brings the latest in pointy flag tip technology, in addition to another round of weapon balancing. You'll need that flag stabbiness too, as the latest Galactic War twist has seen the Automatons try to wrestle control of Super Earth's space station. Yep, stop trying to rename a city 'Gun' for five minutes, some stuff's going down in HD2 that you need to be clued in on, even if its just so you can run around the room cheering at how much more effective your Flame Sentry'll now be. |
| 1:16p | Tales of the Shire's system requirements have me considering grafting a graphics card to a Hobbit's bum  Tales Of The Shire: A The Lord Of The Rings Game is finally coming out this month, offering terrifyingly cosy Hobbitiness to us bumbling Bilbos. Its system requirements have just dropped, and they're pretty reasonable. In fact, its needs are so modest and homely that I'm wondering whether you might be able to run it on a Hobbit, provided you could find one in real life and staple some Nvidia - or AMD- branded plastic into the surface of its flesh. It's ok, I'm sure Gandalf has a magic stapler that doesn't produce excruciating pain if you fire it directly into a person. |
| 1:30p | Grab this 2TB WD Black mini SSD for Steam Deck at its lowest price so far this year  I recently ripped out my Steam Deck’s SSD and enthusiastically slapped in a WD Black SN770M 2TB mini SSD, and it's easily the smartest thing I’ve done with it that didn’t involve tinkering around in desktop mode. |
| 3:00p | Obsidian's hottest Dungeons & Dragons RPG of 2006 is out now in ostensibly enhanced form  Quick, get down! It's enhanced! |
| 4:30p | Amazon still has a saving on Samsung 990 Pro SSDs even after Prime Day is over  Just when you thought Prime Day was over, we’ve mentioned it again and triggered all those flashbacks. |
| 5:00p | There's a bunch of discounted AMD and Nvidia graphics cards now up to 50% off at Amazon today .jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=70&format=jpg&auto=webp){kind=tracking} I spent a good chunk of my weekend combing through GPU deals like these. I don't really need a new graphics card, but seeing prices drop by almost half gets my curiosity going. It’s not even just the big names like the RTX 5090 or the Radeon RX 7900 XT, even refurbished cards look tempting when they’re going for hundreds less. I know some folks hesitate with renewed products, but I’ve had solid luck so far. Last year, I grabbed a renewed RTX 4070 super and it’s been running steady since. I guess it’s that mix of curiosity and trying not to miss out that keeps me scrolling through these lists. Here's the best deals I can find for your latest rig upgrade: |
| 6:30p | I've found the best PC gaming deals in the Black Friday in July sale at Dell - save up to $750  We’ve covered the Dell Black Friday in July deals a few times in recent days, and they’re still coming. In fact, there are now so many offers that we’ve got a whole list of them here. |
