A lockpick gives you a chance to open a lock on a chest or door via successful completion of an instance of the lockpicking minigame. The lockpicking system can be tricky; if...

Russia apparently takes issue with Wargaming's opposition to the invasion of Ukraine, but a different company is paying the price.

“Pilgrimage” is a side quest in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered that requires you to look for nine shrines across the map to pray at. Praying at these shrines will help determine if you’re worthy of becoming a knight. While this quest doesn’t have any rewards, it opens up several other future ones, including...

Top executives from Wargaming and Lesta Games, the joint developers of World of Tanks, could have their stakes in their respective companies seized by the Russian government, according to reports from Russian news organizations RIA and RBC. Malik Khatazhaev, the head of Lesta Games, and Viktor Kisly, the head of Wargaming, are reportedly being accused of extremist activities by Russia's Prosecutor General (the country's equivalent of the US Attorney General) because of Wargaming's support of Ukr...

The developer responsible for supporting World of Tanks in Russia and Belarus, Lesta Games, looks set to have its assets seized by the Russian Government, according to a report by Russian state media. This appears to be linked to an in-game campaign run by Wargaming - the game's original developer that supports World of Tanks and its spinoff titles throughout the rest of the world - that was raising funds for ambulances for Ukraine.

Apple may have canceled the super scratch resistant anti-reflective display coating that it planned to use for the iPhone 17 Pro models, according to a source with reliable information that spoke to MacRumors. Last spring, Weibo leaker Instant Digital suggested Apple was working on a new anti-reflective display layer that was more scratch resistant than the Ceramic Shield. We haven't heard anything else about an upgraded display coating since then, and it's sounding like that's because it didn't...

A group of researchers covertly ran a months-long "unauthorized" experiment in one of Reddit’s most popular communities using AI-generated comments to test the persuasiveness of large language models. The experiment, which was revealed over the weekend by moderators of r/changemyview, is described by Reddit mods as “psychological manipulation” of unsuspecting users. “The CMV Mod Team needs to inform the CMV community about an unauthorized experiment conducted by researchers from the University o...

"What we're doing now makes developers way more happy."

With all the hubbub about Donkey Kong’s new look in Donkey Kong Bananza, one artist took it upon themselves to reimagine what the King of Swing might have looked like in the upcoming Switch 2 game if Nintendo had stuck with previous design. “I don’t like how they portray DK in Bananza, so I edited...

In Saudi Arabia. Colour us a little bit surprised that a Dragon Ball game hasn't been announced for the Switch 2 yet. The legendary anime and manga series from the late Akira Toriyama has proven hugely popular on the current Switch, with both Dragon Ball FighterZ and Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot both getting ports to the console. Well, it seems like we will be getting Goku and friends on the Switch 2, namely in the form of the latest fighting game featuring the Saiyans — Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero. A...

There are plenty of good reasons to delete your X account, whether it's because of a general desire to not do anything to help Elon Musk, a distaste for the curdled culture of the platform or the allure of greener social pastures like Bluesky or Threads. Whatever your reason, the process of deleting your account is simple, and by design, pretty hands-off. In order to get rid of your X account, you'll first have to deactivate it. Once you go 30 days without logging in, it will be permanently dele...

There’s a lot of injustice in The Last of Us. The Cordyceps outbreak doesn’t play favorites (outside of Ellie’s immunity, of course), so people are constantly ripped away from their loved ones; the fight between human factions for the few remaining supplies tears families apart right and left, and the survivors are always left to...

Spain, Portugal and parts of France have experienced a massive power outage. The interruption of service extends to the capital cities Madrid and Lisbon, both of which have been left without electricity and internet. Seville, Barcelona and Valencia have also been impacted. A grid operator in Portugal has attributed the outage to “extreme temperature variations” in a statement given to the Independent. Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has offered a slightly different take, stating that there ...

Over Ukrainian support. World of Tanks' Russian operator Lesta Games, which was formerly owned by Wargaming, is being targeted by the Russian government over claims that the maker of various long-running, and highly popular war-sim titles, has been involved in extremist activities. According to a report from RIA.ru (owned by the Russian state), which has been machine-translated by a user on Resetera, the Prosecutor General's office in Russia has stepped in to "prohibit the activities" of Wargami...

This week we’re talking emotions. I know what you’re thinking: Isn’t that the lifeblood of so much of TV and movies? Sure! But the throughline between the new premieres and finales is Big Stakes and Big Feelings. Whether it’s the end of the world (The Eternaut, The Walking Dead: Dead City) or it just feels...

The past couple of years have been good to filthy dungeon crawlers like me. There's Diablo 4, which continues to rumble on with its thematic seasons, then the likes of Last Epoch, Path of Exile 2, and, of course, No Rest for the Wicked. Inspired by Blizzard's classic ARPG series and developed by the team behind the Ori games, Moon Studios' early-access hack-and-slash adventure just turned one, and its huge new update, titled The Breach, is the perfect way to celebrate. Extending out the campaign...

For any WWI shooter to be convincing, it needs to be big - it needs to have scale. Battlefield 1 works so well because it has giant maps, environmental destruction, and vehicles. Each match feels like a complete war unto itself; the sense of chaos and obliteration is consistent to the subject matter. Rising Storm and Hell Let Loose are two other examples, multiplayer FPS games based on real conflicts where large lobbies and a litany of mechanics and modes help emphasize the extent of the carnage...

Top executives behind World of Tanks have been accused of extremist actitivites by Russian authorities over their support of Ukraine, Russian state media has reported.

Accessorise up. Well, the Switch 2 pre-order circus came to town, and it was predictably calamitous. It feels like the same story every time a console launches these days, with demand vastly outstripping supply and the frenzy to secure a unit at launch generating joy and disappointment in equal measure. We hope those of you who weren't able to get a Switch 2 pre-order in yet will be able to in the coming weeks.

Over the last 12 months, the rate at which new characters have been pumped into Apex Legends has reduced drastically. Focusing more on new in-game experiences and reworking existing legends, it’s been as near as makes no difference an entire year since we last saw a new addition to the roster. However, that dry streak is about to end, as ahead of Apex Legends Season 25, Respawn Entertainment has unveiled new legend Sparrow, who comes with two extremely important assets - incredible archery skill...

In that case, you can save on a version of the Galaxy Watch 7 with that too as it has ...
