Your new drive will be useful too, ideal for backups, moving video files to your TV or just moving game directories between PCs....

Vote now! Last time, you decided that unit veterancy is better than rerolling dice. I’m not surprised, given that rerolling dice is a pretty niche thing only seen in a handful of games, but oh what a glorious niche thing! Fine, fine. We continue. This week, I ask you to choose between the mechanism for controlling magic and the mechanism for controlling a big daft rock. What’s better: cool spellcasting gestures, or seizing control of a rolling boulder trap?...

“Off with their heads!” says the bloodthirsty Vault dweller For all ofFallout 76’sfaults, the multiplayer shooter has fostered one of the most interesting communities in any game, leading to fun mutations such as the theatre company experimenting with performance art in-game. The Wasteland Theatre Company previously tackledShakespeareandA Christmas Carol, and they’ve now reconvened with a post-apocalyptic performance of Alice In Wonderland, appropriately adapted as Alice In The Wasteland. Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland is a famously dream-like, nonsensical children’s book, and it’s been adapted so many times it’s no wonder the Fallout 76 troupe have set their eyes on it....

The best PC gamepad - and in a neat Electric Volt colourway. I’ve written before about my love for the standard Xbox Series Wireless Controller, which provide a comfortable feel, responsive controls and laudable build quality for a default console gamepad. These units normally retail for $64.99 in the US, but today the Electric Volt colour is down to $39.99 at Walmart. These controllers are well worth picking up for genres that benefit from them, like racing, action-adventure, platformers and fighting games....
