When Borderlands Science was announced back in 2020 I thought it all sounded a little silly. Science? In my Borderlands? It struck me as a lot less likely than Dr. Mayim Bialik seemed to think. But it turns out that I was the silly one all along, because McGill University, the institution leading the project, says the project was in fact a massive success that will “substantially advance our knowledge of the microbiome and improve on the AI programs that will be used to carry out this work in future.”
Science in Borderlands does not occur through the usual gameplay, but rather by way of the Borderlands Science minigame embedded in Borderlands 3. That’s what really drove my doubts about the whole thing. Borderlands is all about shooting endless truckloads of dudes—how many pl…
Nvidia’s latest RTX 40-series graphics card launches today, January 5. Announced during CES 2023, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is a $799 graphics card with some fairly lofty 1440p and 4K performance to offer. I just hope we’ll see prices actually sticking around that price tag for a decent amount of time today—early listings would suggest that $799 price tag will be hard to come by, however.
If you’ve been keeping up with the Nvidia 40-series launch, you’ll know that the RTX 4070 Ti is one and the same with the RTX 4080 12GB that was originally announced by Nvidia only to be pulled from the roster pre-launch. The RTX 4070 Ti is the exact same card, only now comes in at $100 cheaper.
We’ve already published our Gigabyte RTX 4070 Ti Gaming OC review, so take a look if you’re …
There are a lot of easter eggs and oddities in Baldur’s Gate 3 and it seems like there’s plenty left to uncover yet. For instance, one dataminer has just managed to trigger a dialogue scene in which bestest barbarian Karlach becomes aware she’s a character in a game and looks right through the screen into your soul.
It begins with Karlach suggesting she try something she learned from a cleric of Zariel, a technique for looking into someone’s eyes and determining whether they’re telling the truth or not. Things go awry almost immediately when she stops looking at the character, and instead stares at the player.
If you play along with her questions, Karlach gets more than she bargained for, and has a glimpse of reality. “I see… a great web,” she says. “…
I’m getting close to wrapping up my Baldur’s Gate 3 honour mode playthrough—all I’ve got to do is not beef it on the last couple of deadly fights and I’m there. In the interest of survival, I’ve been skipping a couple of key story beats.
I have a cosy setup that works, and I can’t be bothered to wrangle Larian’s fiddly inventory system to make carbon copies of my party members on other companion NPCs. But rounding out Act 3’s final few fights, I hesitated—I really wanted to see Astarion’s quest line through a second time. Spoilers for Act 3 and Astarion’s story quests to follow.
Cazador is a bastard. And I don’t just mean that in terms of how awful of a presence he is in Astarion’s life—his boss fight…

With tens of thousands of mods for games like Skyrim and Fallout, Nexus Mods must be the biggest mod site on Earth, but even it’s not keen to pick a fight over Palworld with Nintendo’s army of lawyers. After seemingly removing an Ash Ketchum mod for the game from its archives, Nexus community lead Mathew Elliot told PCGamesN that the site was “not comfortable hosting this content,” meaning anything that might at all touch the livewire that is Pokémon’s copyright.
“We do think that adding Pokémon content to Palworld is a very cool idea and we understand why people would want such a thing,” said Elliot, but Nexus is just “not comfortable hosting this content.” The reason, as you might guess, is Nintendo’s litigiousness.
