Blizzard fire World Of Warcraft developer over use of forbidden magicks to insta-kill bosses for regular players during dungeon run

World of Warcraft studio Blizzard have announced that they've fired a developer after development-only spells were used to insta-kill some Mythic+ dungeon bosses for a party of non-dev adventurers. The studio will also be "taking action against the player accounts that were complicit in this violation", which was unearthed by some combat log sleuths. Read more

HyperX Pulsefire Saga gaming mouse review: modular parts win hearts

If the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike’s analogue clickers were all about fine-tuning the sensation at the very tips of your mousing fingers, the HyperX Pulsefire Saga is all about adjusting the parts nestled in the rest of your hand. To nowhere near the same extent, granted, but the Saga’s modular components – and the fact that it costs a fraction of what the X2 Superstrike does – make it appealing addition to your wired mouse options.

Freedom Ship – Die erste echte schwimmende Stadt der Welt

Das Freedom Ship soll einmal Platz für etwa 80.000 Menschen bieten. Doch noch ist es kaum mehr als eine kühne Vision, die vom echten Bau noch weit entfernt ist. Mehr dazu lest ihr im folgenden Artikel: Fast 2 Kilometer lang und Platz für 80.000 Menschen: Wie Visionäre die erste echte schwimmende Stadt der Welt bauen wollen – und warum Kritiker an dem kühnen Plan zweifeln

13 years on, unfinishable survival game Project Zomboid is getting a major update with an expanded Kentucky map, animal husbandry, and revised crafting

I return to Project Zomboid exactly like an emaciated survivor crawling back to the undead-ridden town they abandoned many moons ago, having finally exhausted their wilderness stocks of cabbage and duct tape. I poke my head into the Steam forums as though cracking the door on a suspiciously silent mall. Read more

I enjoy Fallgrade's grainy physics-defying city almost as much as I fear its foggy giant spider

It is said that to name a wild thing is to tame it, to delimit and temper it, to defuse its menace. The giant, vaporous spider in Fallgrade is called Karl. Know any Karls? Are you a Karl? I wonder if it's Karl as in Karl Marx. Perhaps it's a reference to arachnid imagery in anti-Communist propaganda, though arachnid imagery isn't the exclusive preserve of anti-Communists. Myself, I tend to associate the name "Karl" with paperweights, for reasons my brain refuses to explain to me. And yet, for

"Let's make a better world": Denshattack's developers on counterculture, biker gangs, and the optimism of fighting a mecha with a train

In hindsight, I was a fool for meeting Denshattack’s satirical, irreverent, downright countercultural sensibilities with surprise. Upbeat, even goofy as it is for a train driving game, it shares more common ground with skateboarding games, and while the commodification of skater culture is certainly A Thing, few skaters have ever reapplied their asphalt-eating skills to bootlicking. What remains striking, though, is how specifically '2026' Denshattack's targets are. The main baddies are a
