A Fallout Fan Turned His Limited Edition Mini Nuke into a $200 Gaming PC

A fan of the post-apocalyptic RPG series Fallout recently shared a new PC he built with an atomic twist: the case was made out of the plastic mini-nuke replica that was included in the Fallout Anthology. First spotted by PCGamer, The Fallout Collector, an individual known for sharing all things and memorabilia related to the RPG series, told IGN that the build is not incredibly powerful. It uses parts from a small form factor sixth-generation Intel NUC, which has been repurposed for a bomb-shaped rig that sports an i3 CPU and integrated Intel 520 graphics. As you can see from the picture below, The Fallout Collector modified the insert of the mini-nuke to mount the motherboard. Those that own this collectible know the inside is used...

1TB MicroSD Card Deal: Add Storage to Switch or Steam Deck

I’m kind of obsessed with handheld gaming. It’s the best, because you can fit it in no matter where you are or who’s using the TV. The problem with devices like the Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck (for anyone lucky enough to have one) is that storage space is limited. Thankfully, you can grab a hefty 1TB microSD card right now for $124.99, a huge and rare discount. That ought to give you plenty of room to install big games like Red Dead Redemption 2, NBA 2K22, The Witcher 3, and so on. Save on 1TB SanDisk MicroSD Card Storage doesn’t come cheap, but it wasn’t long ago that these 1TB cards cost $400. This is the second-lowest price this card has ever gone. And you almost never find 1TB cards from reputable companies for lower than $125...

Halo Infinite Dev Reveals 3 New Modes Coming in Season 2

Halo Infinite developer 343 Industries has revealed three new modes coming in Season 2: Lone Wolves. These are headlined by the classic Halo mode King of the Hill, which arrives on May 3 alongside two brand new modes: Last Spartan Standing and Land Grab. King of the Hill dates back to the original Halo game in 2001 and, while players can recreate the original mode in Custom Games, the standard mode is returning to Infinite with a twist. Instead of just having one part of the battleground that players fight over, a new hill will spawn when the previous one is captured. Whoever takes the hill by spending uncontested time on it earns a point, and the team with the most points at the end of the match wins. The Lone Wolves themed Last...

Outriders Worldslayer Preview: Worth Returning to Enoch?

If you enjoyed tossing fireballs and teleporting around like a ninja in Outriders last year, then do I have some great news: developer People Can Fly is giving you just about every reason to return with its upcoming expansion, Worldslayer. Imperfect as it was, Outriders largely hit all the right notes with me when it launched, but some of that momentum was lost amid the utterly tragic server issues right out the gate and a story that largely fell flat. With Worldslayer, Outriders seems poised for a comeback, and if what I’ve played of it so far is any indication, this 2.0 upgrade to the memorable looter shooter might be just what the doctor ordered. Worldslayer seems laser focused on making everything about Outriders bigger. New areas...

Evil Dead: The Game - The Final Preview

Ash Williams and the rest of the Evil Dead gang haven’t been resurrected to star in a video game since 2005’s Evil Dead: Regeneration, but that’s all about to change when S-Mart’s top of the line returns on, fittingly, Friday the 13th next month, in the aptly-named Evil Dead: The Game. After playing it, it’s clear that the new Evil Dead game draws heavily from the survival-focused shooting and looting established in the Left 4 Dead series in addition to the character-centric, skill-based horror survival of Dead By Daylight. This monster mashup certainly nails the right beats for frenetic fun between friends, and at launch, Evil Dead: The Game will support out-of-the-box crossplay for all modern Xbox and PlayStation consoles, as well as...

Gravitar: Recharged Is Atari's Next Crack at a Retro Reimagining

Atari is continuing its endeavor to revitalize a number of its arcade classics, this time with the reimagining of space exploration game Gravitar in Gravitar: Recharged. Gravitar: Recharged is a remake of the original 1982 Gravitar, an arcade title that took the "rotate-and-thrust" controls from games like Asteroids and applied them to control of a tiny spacecraft exploring a solar system. Players navigate to a planet, and then must destroy bunkers on said planet while being fired upon and fighting against the pull of gravity. In its time, Gravitar was notorious for its extreme difficulty. This remake joins a number of other games in the Recharged series that Atari has been using to bring back its arcade classics, including Breakout...

Elden Ring's Malenia Battle Is Bugged and It's Terrifying

One of Elden Ring's toughest bosses, Malenia, Blade of Miquella, is now automatically self-healing when players summon help. While healing herself is one of Malenia's normal abilities, she is only meant to do so when her attacks hit the player. A bug in Elden Ring's latest update, however, seemingly means she can self-heal at any point of the fight and for no apparent reason. Elden Ring's leading Malenia expert Let Me Solo Her spotted the bug when he was summoned to fight the boss. His YouTube video shows it off clearly: even when there are no players near Malenia, never mind taking damage from her, chunks of her health bar shoot back up. Other players have noticed it too, with reddit user Demonboy995 saying that it happened every...

Kao the Kangaroo Preview: Hands-On With a Comfy Platformer

Kao the Kangaroo left me nostalgic for a series I’d never heard of. I’m always searching for new platformers, I’ve gone through all the big names across the years and many smaller ones too, but if you’d asked me last month who Kao was, I couldn’t have told you. Like many mascots, Kao fell into obscurity but thanks to Tate Multimedia’s surprise reboot, he’s back in fighting form with a fresh story. Going hands-on with a preview build, it’s pretty easy but so far, I’m enjoying what I’ve seen. Kao’s journey kicks off with a familiar premise, rescuing family members who disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Both his sister and father are missing, while an unknown foe called the Eternal Warrior’s begun corrupting the world with a...

Overwatch 2: Two Heroes Are Getting Major Reworks for the Beta

Overwatch's Doomfist and Orisa are both receiving major reworks in Overwatch 2. While all 32 original Overwatch characters are returning for the sequel, Blizzard announced two further reworks (joining Bastion and Sombra) in a blog post, revealing that Doomfist has even had a role change. He'll switch from being a damage hero to a tank, losing his Uppercut ability in the process. Instead, Doomfist is now equipped with Power Block, a shielding ability that protects from frontal attacks, and his health has increased from 250 to 450. Blocking heavy damage with the shield will power up his Rocket Punch ability, which will travel faster and further and deal increased damage when empowered.

Nicolas Cage Reveals Why He Turned Down Lord of the Rings and Matrix Roles

Imagine, if you will, a world in which Nicolas Cage had played Aragorn or Neo. That could very well have been our reality, had the actor not firmly had his priorities in order. He is one of the most recognizable leading men in Hollywood… and the face of some of the most memorable memes on the internet. But, before all that, Cage is a father and a family man. "First and foremost... there's no version of Nic Cage in reality that doesn't want to spend time with his children," Cage told People. "There's no version of Nic Cage that didn't put family first over career. I turned down Lord of the Rings and I turned down Matrix because I didn't want to go to New Zealand for three years or Australia for three years because I needed to be home...

Bungie Confirms Destiny 2 Contains Easter Egg Teasing Its Next Game

If you're excited for whatever Bungie is working on next, there's a hint to the studio's next project hidden somewhere within Destiny 2. When Destiny 2 director Christopher Barrett was asked on Twitter (via GamesRadar) if there was a hint to Bungie's new IP somewhere in their massive first-person shooter, Barrett simply responded, "Yes". Barrett followed up his short response with another one-word tweet, saying "Maybe", along with a smiley face that looks like the moon.

Among Us VR Looks Like VRChat Meets a Slasher Film

After being teased at The Game Awards last December, we've finally gotten a first look at gameplay for the VR version of Among Us. Just as you might imagine, the gameplay looks like a VRChat meets a slasher movie. Throughout the trailer, crewmates are flailing their arms, using virtual hands to point fingers at people they assume are imposters. We even get a brief moment of someone in Electrical peeking a corner looking to see if anyone is there, before cutting to an imposter hiding in a vent. Although Among Us is alreadya fun game, the VR version should provide a fresh perspective that leans into the game's best parts while also adding a new sense of tension and humor that can otherwise not be achieved on the console and PC...

Elden Ring's 50-Hit Fake Wall Was a Glitch After All - and Now It's Gone

Elden Ring's 50-hit fake wall was seemingly a glitch all along, and has been removed in the latest patch. If you don't remember, the mysterious wall was first discovered in March and shook the community as, while illusionary walls are nothing new to FromSoftware games, one that only disappears after 50 hits meant that practically any wall in the game could be hiding a completely new area. This wall in Volcano Manor didn't appear to go anywhere exciting though, causing players to speculate if it was just an odd glitch, something FromSoftware has now effectively confirmed after the latest 1.04 patch turned it into a regular wall with no illusionary properties. YouTuber Zullie the Witch returned to the wall after Elden Ring's latest...
