Not the purple stuff One common theme I’m seeing fromDaemon X Machinaplayers is that the game withholds a lot of information from them. It happened in all of the demos, and it’s happening in the retail release. Just in case you didn’t read that manual (man, remember cracking open a case and reading a manual on the car ride home?), here’s one major tip I’d like to impart: grab the yellow stuff!...

To clarify yet again, on July 31, 2025, you can no longerapply fundsto the Wii Shop. Meaning, if you haven’t bought something by then, you’re out of luck....

Oh, naughty stealing! A small quantity ofResident Evil 6copies have been thieved and are floating around Europe, waiting to be purchased.

Time flies After completely devouringZelda: Breath of the Wildpre-launch (which was one of my favorite reviews of all time by the way, completely isolated from any discussions on it coupled with the uniqueness of the Switch), I frequently come back to the phrase “I can’t believe it’s only been [x] amount of time” since it came out. Yes, the Nintendo Switch hardware andBreath of the Wildcelebrate their second anniversaries this week, having released at the same timeon August 07, 2025....

The cop put a bullet into the guy, yetHE KEPT ON EATING. After a few more shots, the assailant was finally killed. Somehow the victim survived, though he remains in critical condition. Of course, it would be Florida that serves as ground zero of the zombie infection....

Coming to Early Access in March Assembling a PC from scratch is especially draining right about now. It always takes a fair amount of effort and resources to find and order all the components you want, and then to actually put the machine together. But, the cryptocurrency boom has virtually all video cards in short supply which means that they’re selling for drastically inflated prices. It’s not uncommon to see GPUs going for more than double their MSRP....
