Those of you who dearly want to be able to play an online game in which you go a-sailin’ on the deep blue sea have simultaneously been given a variety of options and a paucity of good ones over the past few years. Everything is either too marginal or too janky or too Ubisoft. Perhaps […]

2025/03/21

So let’s talk for a moment about convection. It’s the way in which heat moves from warm things to cool things. If you put your hand anywhere near a fire, you’ll feel the heat long before you are touching the fire. This is worth noting because Eterspire’s lava-covered Arid Ridge should be so hot that […]

At GDC this week, Nexon ran a session on what it’s characterizing as the redemption arc of The First Descendant, the MMO-ish looter-shooter that launched last summer, or “Shooty with the Booty,” as my esteemed colleagues have decided to refer to it.

Sure, you could mine some planetary space rocks in Star Citizen the boring way with a handheld mining tool, but wouldn’t you prefer to do it in a mech suit instead?
