Konami has partnered up with Online Ceramics—the consciously, ostentatiously inelegant fashion house—to produce a line of Silent Hill 2-themed merch. Featuring tees, hoodies, trousers, and plenty more besides, the clothes all feature designs that look like they were assembled by someone with access to Google Images, a copy of Microsoft Paint, and a staggering deficit of aesthetic sensibility.
They’re kind of amazing.
That’s just my opinion, of course, and the whole world seems to almost unanimously disagree with me, but this kind of ‘I made this in one afternoon when someone left me alone in the school computer room’ style is very much an Online Ceramics trademark, and I think it perfectly matches Silent Hill 2’s haunted ’90s vibes. I lack the verve to wear something as aggressively dernier cri as this hoodie emblazoned with a foggy picture of Maria and the contextless quote “I don’t look like a ghost, do I?” but if I met someone wearing it I would prob…
In my first playthrough of Baldur’s Gate 3, not long after making it to the city that makes up the massive RPG’s final act, one of the villains kidnapped Lae’zel. And while I didn’t put off rescuing her for too long, I also didn’t rush it. Don’t look at me like that, this was in-character—I was playing Shadowheart.
If my romance partner Gale was the one who got abducted, however, I might have got a wriggle on. In a recent interview with IGN, Larian’s director Swen Vincke explained that was how it was first planned to play out. “Originally it was always your romantic partner,” he said, “which wasn’t very popular.”
During act three, the shapeshifter Orin the Red becomes a real pain in the butt, to put it lightly. As well as tormenting you by impersonating random NPCs you meet, only to reveal her identity when otherwise innocuous conversations become oddly visceral, she abducts one of your companions and takes them to the Bhaal Temple to be sacrificed…

ดูเหมือนว่าช่วงนี้จะมีข่าวลือออกมาบ่อยทีเดียวสำหรับเรื่องของสเปคเครื่องเล่น PlayStation 5 รุ่นอัปเกรดหรือที่เรามักจะเรียกกันว่า PS5 Pro นั่นเอง ซึ่งในฝั่งของทาง Sony เองจนถึงตอนนี้ก็ยังไม่มีท่าทีที่จะเปิดตัวเพราะอาจจะเพิ่งได้เข็นเครื่องเล่นตัวปรับโฉมกันไปตอนปลายปีที่ผ่านมา อย่างไรก็ตามด้วยระยะเวลาที่เกินเข้ามาถึงครึ่งหลังของเจ็นแบบนี้ คงไม่น่าแปลกใจนัก�…
During the Covid pandemic, sales of gaming PCs and associated peripherals went stratospheric, as millions of people worldwide not only had to work from home but also keep themselves entertained in the confines of their four walls. But since then, things haven’t been so good and quite a few companies have felt the pinch in their finances. Corsair, famous purveyor of all things RGB, appears to be doing pretty well, though, as indicated by the $1.46 billion annual revenue declared in its latest financial report.
Do I need to say more about who Corsair is? Even if you’re one of the most casual of casual PC gamers, you can’t have escaped the ever-present marketing of Corsair and its raft of PC gaming products. It’s been around since 1994 and first made its mark in the world of cache and RAM modules. Now it manufactures everything from RGB fans and AIO coolers to mice and keyboards, gaming chairs, headsets, and full PC systems.
As highlighted in its full-year 2023 financial re…
Lars Gustavsson, the former creative director on DICE’s Battlefield games and—much more importantly—the man they used to call “Mr Battlefield,” has a new studio. Unveiled this morning, TTK Games is a new, Stockholm-based studio working on a “new, next-generation online shooter”.
Might that new, next-generation shooter take some cues from Battlefield? Who can say! It’s gonna be years until we see it in action, but we might be able to intuit something from the rest of the TTK founders. Joining Gustavsson as co-founders are:
- Daniel Berlin, former lead world designer and design director on multiple Battlefield games.
- Vidar Nygren, former Battlefield technical director and the guy who directed development on EA’s Frostbite engine.
- Peter Hoyles, former studio art director for DICE LA and artist on multiple games from, you guessed it, Battlefield.
So if I were going to read the tea leaves on this one, I’d think that maybe whatever TT…
Been sitting at your desk thinking thoughts like “Man, I really wish I could play Ninja Master’s: Haoh Ninpo Cho again” or “Gee, will they just put Top Hunter: Roddy & Cathy on PC already?!” No? Well, maybe someone out there is, and it’s their lucky day. GOG just threw a whole load more SNK games on its platform and popped them all on sale along with the rest of its SNK catalogue.
Okay, I will be fair and say it’s not just the obscure games that have made an appearance. The King of Fighters ’97 (Global Match) and The King of Fighters 2003 have been added, along with Samurai Shodown 4: Amasuka’s Revenge, Over Top, and Metal Slug 4. They’re all available for less than $5 right now too, as are most of the games currently on sale.
You can nab some of the newer KOF games for anywhere from $2.99 to $8.99, while the original Metal Slug is going for a measly $1.99 right now. If sports games are more your bag, you can grab Soccer Brawl or Super Sidekicks for $4.79, while Base…
Logitech is releasing a slew of new wheels and accessories for its top-tier wheelbase. This includes new options for both rally and open-wheel racing fans alike, a shifter-cum-handbrake, and an adapter to make most wheels work with Logi’s direct drive base. All of which is an important step towards turning its best wheel into something more of a racing ecosystem.
Announced over at Logitech’s Play event, there are a number of new PC products all built around the direct drive wheelbase, the Pro Base:
- RS Wheel Hub (PC)
- RS Track Wheel
- RS Round Wheel
- RS QR Adapter
- RS Shifter & Handbrake
I use Logitech’s G Pro Racing Wheel and Pedals for my own racing set-up at home. The set-up is easy, the force feedback is great, and the button layout makes more sense to me than some. But as someone who prefers to race on clean-cut F1 tracks rather than backcountry roads, my main complaint these days is the mostly rounded wheel and lack …
