Tesla is now attempting to gauge the tiredness of its drivers through a new feature rolling out called "Driver Drowsiness Warning." It uses the cabin-facing camera — built to ensure the driver was watching the road and not on their phone — to gauge facial characteristics of drowsiness, such as the frequency of yawns and blinks. Rumors of the new feature first circulated in May when a Tesla hacker, known as Green, found indications of drowsiness tracking in Tesla's software.  In action, the Drive...

Mortal Kombat 1 crashes create a report file on your hard drive, which in some cases can occupy an enormous amount of space. Multiple reports from MK1 PC players (on both Steam and other platforms), as well as PCGamesN’s own investigation, confirm that every time Mortal Kombat 1 crashes on your PC, a new report folder is created. The more crashes your game experiences, the more folders are made, with some players reporting up to 70 GB of hard drive space being consumed by numerous crash files. A...

What is the Minecraft Breeze? Peaceful, passive, and even hostile, from foxes to blazes, tropical fish to Endermites, Minecraft mobs make the sandbox game what it is, and we love every one of them. Well, except maybe those pesky Phantoms.

Announced during Minecraft Live 2023, The Breeze is an entirely new kind of...

I'm a Seraphine main in League of Legends. There, I said it. Alongside Senna she's one of my most-played champions ever, effectively replacing my poor OTP, Sona, upon release. Having played her in a variety of different combinations with my lane partner, she remains one of the more powerful enchanter supports alongside mainstays like Soraka or Janna. Riot has seen her survive and thrive as a support, and has elected to rework her abilities to align with that role - a decision that has proven con...

Nintendo has confirmed that Super Mario Bros. Wonder was not inspired by the Super Mario Bros. Movie. As has become typical of Nintendo, it's released an Ask the Developer interview with the development team to discuss its latest release. Development of the game was completely separate from the film, it says, so new elements in Wonder are unrelated.

Xbox boss Phil Spencer has explained the delay in getting Activision Blizzard's back catalogue added to Xbox Game Pass, and blamed the hold-up on the lengthy and difficult process of sealing the deal. Speaking on the Official Xbox Podcast, Spencer acknowledged the recent suggestion by Activision Blizzard that it would take until 2024 to get its games added to Microsoft's subscription service, and discussed why there wasn't going to be a big drop of games sooner - as happened when Microsoft bough...

The co-op horror game Phasmophobia will not release on consoles this month, following another delay. Phasmophobia was originally meant to release into early access on console in August, but an office fire incident in August caused developer Kinect Games to push launch back to October. The release date is being pushed back again, meaning Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 owners will have to wait a little bit longer to join the ghost-hunting. In a developer update posted to Steam, Kinect Games att...

If you’re done with Starfield and want to revisit Bethesda’s most longstanding RPG to date you’ll be glad to know that Skyrim is currently dirt cheap as part of a new sale. I know talk of Skyrim isn’t exactly new, but who can argue with such a good deal for a modern classic.

Xbox head Phil Spencer has shed more light on what Microsoft's recent acquisition of Call of Duty maker Activision will mean for the series, and no, it isn't about using timed exclusivity deals for the franchise in order to sell consoles. In an interview on the official Xbox podcast, the exec spoke more about last week's historic merger that finally saw Microsoft close the deal on its Activision Blizzard King buyout. He phil-ed us in, if you will. Of course, during last night's interview, the to...

The Diablo 4 Steam reviews are already ‘mixed,’ as players take to Valve’s platform to share their responses to Blizzard’s RPG alongside the launch of Diablo 4 Season 2. Less than 24 hours since the Diablo IV Steam launch, hundreds of reviews express a combination of praise and criticism, lowering Diablo 4’s current score to less than 60%. While the game has been available on PC since June, its Steam release has attracted under 2,500 players. Meanwhile, Overwatch 2, another Activision Blizzard g...

Cream of the crop. We had a great time with Fae Farm when it laid down roots on Switch last month, though there was a handful of pesky bugs that slightly marred our experience. Fortunately, publisher and developer Phoenix Labs has been quick on the case and the game's latest update (ver. 1.4.0) seems to have even more bugs in its sight. There are a good number of fixes this time around ranging from gameplay to more specific features. Some of the stand-out changes are the in-game clock pausing wh...

Back in the glorious Xbox One years, when every Microsoft executive was engaged in the act of putting one foot in their mouth while shooting it simultaneously, there was a giddy period of marketing conducted by means of Phil Spencer's T-shirts. He'd rock up on E3 stages like a cabaret dancer, touting tees with various new or elderly videogame licenses on them, and whipping older fans into a frenzy of speculation as to possible remakes or sequels. I myself had to go lie down after seeing Phil in ...

What's the verdict? We're just a couple of short days away from the launch of Nintendo's latest 2D Mario adventure, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and the hype train is well and truly chugging away at full speed. We've gone hands-on with the game recently and came away feeling incredibly optimistic, but of course, we're all waiting on tenderhooks to see what the review scores will be like, right?

Fans planning to see the Pokémon exhibit at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam may want to take note that they can no longer purchase the Pikachu with Grey Felt Hat promo card from its gift shop.

Shadowrun and Battletech studio Harebrained Schemes have "parted ways" with Paradox Interactive - or what's left of the company have, at least. Paradox have announced that they're cutting Harebrained loose to pursue publishing opportunities elsewhere following dismal sales of the studio's latest release, swaggering 1930s-set Indiana XCOMalike The Lamplighters League. Paradox will keep ownership of The Lamplighters League and other games developed by Harebrained, though the Crusader Kings publish...

It looks like the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) truly was working on a free TurboTax alternative like earlier reports had claimed. The US tax authority has announced that it will start pilot testing its new Direct File program for the 2024 filing season, though it will initially be available for select taxpayers in 13 states only. During its pilot period, Direct File will only cover individual federal tax returns and won't have the capability to prepare people's state returns. That's why 9 out ...
