Dysentery is the least of your worries.

It's another busy month. We're still taking in everything that's recently been announced for the Switch 2 (and Switch 1), but there's no time to slow down with May just around the corner.

Diablo 4 Season 8 is a significant one for a variety of reasons, but one of the biggest is the introduction of Reliquaries, which replace its old battle pass system. Taking inspiration from fellow ActiBlizz franchise Call of Duty, it splits seasonal rewards into different pages and gives you the freedom to unlock available rewards in whatever order you please. That all sounds marvelous, but unfortunately its debut isn’t going quite as planned. Not only has Blizzard acknowledged that there’s a bu...

Oblivion Remastered is a beautiful, buggy wonder.

You know, I don't think I'll ever understand why, after finding a huge amount of surprise success, developer 1047 Games decided to stop working on Splitgate all so that they could make a sequel. Perhaps that's just part of my general confusion towards live service games as a whole, but I do think it's a bit odd all the same. Still, Splitgate 2 is still on track for a 2025 release it seems, with a date now set for the game's first open beta.

It’s almost time for Season 2 of League of Legends’ 2025 slate, with LoL patch 25.09 ready to deliver the goods.

OpenAI is rolling back a recent update to GPT-4o, the default model that powers ChatGPT, following complaints from users that it made the chat bot act like a weirdo.

The biggest rock bands of the ’80s and ’90s — including Journey, Queen, Mötley Crüe, Aerosmith, and Metallica — achieved a specific cultural significance beyond their music, their videos, and their tours.

Remember when Haunted Chocolatier was announced… sorry, hang on, almost four years ago? Cripes, time really does fly when you're waiting on the incredibly anticipated follow-up to one of the most popular games of all time doesn't it! It's no secret that developer Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone is happy to take his time with his next game, and good on him for doing so.

Young says that the new ‌Apple Watch SE‌ 3 will be available with 1.6-inch and 1.8-inch display sizes, which suggests little in the way of an upgrade over the current ‌Apple Watch SE‌ models.

While the return of Verdansk at the start of Season 3 was a momentous occasion, Warzone’s main custodian Raven Software is going to keep the nostalgia train rolling (quite literally) by bringing back one of the map’s best features from back in the day. Yes, Verdansk's train is being put back into service.

Firefox now lets you organize your tabs. Four years after its biggest rivals launched tab groups, Mozilla published a nearly 1,000-word blog post recounting the feature's long road from user requests to launch. (Consider skipping it if you don’t like long-winded acceptance speeches.) "What happens when 4,500 people ask for the same feature?" the company asked rhetorically. "At Firefox, we build it." Of course, those users may have requested tab groups partly because Firefox was the only major br...
