How do you open warped closets in Requiem? We’ve been breaking open closets in Resident Evil since stepping inside the Spencer Mansion in the ’90s, and we’re not about to stop now. As you explore Rhodes Hill Care Center as Grace, you’ll inevitably come across this stubborn bit of furniture. Try to open it, and you’ll be met with the message: “The door is warped and won’t open.” Fortunately, that’s not quite true. Just like the pools of blood you encounter playing as Leon in the horror game, warped closets in Resident Evil Requiem do serve a purpose – you…

Pokemon fans have been eating good lately. Not only did we get the reveal of Pokemon Winds and Waves yesterday, we also got to replay Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen on a modern system thanks to the new Nintendo Switch re-releases. But despite only being a day old, one speedrunner stormed through the games and found that two super rare events made the cut.Before Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen dropped on the Switch, there was much speculation over whether Game Freak would include the events allowing people to catch three Legendary Pokemon: Deoxys, Ho-Oh, and Lugia.Players of the original GBA remakes might…

SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3X Wireless specs: Connection: 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, USB Microphone: Detachable Drivers: 40mm Frequency response: 20Hz – 22kHz Battery life: 30 hours (2.4GHz), 40 hours (Bluetooth) Price: £84 / $95 My initial interest in the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3X Wireless was sparked by it being, essentially, an over-ear version of the Arctis GameBuds, with a near-identical USB-C 2.4GHz receiver that lets it pull double duty with both a main PC and Steam Deck (slash, handheld PC of your choice). Happily, it’s turned out to be a very fine headset in general, performing a convincing impression of a higher-end…

Where do you get corrosive and destroy the padlock in Resident Evil Requiem? The main objective in the game’s early hours is to find three quartz, which are used as keys to a door that leads to the clinic’s courtyard. Along the way, you’ll need to complete various puzzles and find some very strange items. As you hunt for the second quartz in Resident Evil Requiem, you’ll need to destroy a padlock on a puzzle box, but it’s not immediately clear what you have to do. Excitingly, this puzzle leads you to facing one of the horror game’s most terrifying…

I’m pretty horrified that Pokémon is now 30 years old, so I’ve decided to fight the existential dread by playing N64 all weekend. Specifically, I’m planning on playing Pikachu’s 3D debut on an actual Nintendo 64, potentially with some friends if they’re up for a Pokémon Stadium party, so I thought I’d share the setups I’m planning to use.When it comes to using the best retro consoles, I’m constantly swapping in and out systems and gadgets. To celebrate Pokémon’s 30th Anniversary, it feels only right that I use the special edition Pikachu N64 console from the year 2000, but you…

Last year, Owlcat announced they were working on another CRPG set within the world of Warhammer 40,000 called Dark Heresy. This would have potentially led to an assumption that they were done with their previous game, Rogue Trader, but nope! They’re still going, and a brief teaser for that CRPG’s next bit of DLC was shared (and when I say brief, I do mean it), and to wet your appetite, some gameplay for Dark Heresy is there to have a look at too. The DLC is titled The Infinite Museion (how often do you think that’s going to…

When I started writing about VPNs a few years ago, I was talking about how they can help you watch region-exclusive YouTube videos and stuff like that. I never thought that the subject would, in any way, ever end up encompassing the subject of human mortality and what exactly happens after we die. While I can’t tell you what happens on a metaphysical level, I can tell you something that might well happen in the physical world of day-to-day life – or at least, the digital world of the internet. Information has recently come to light about Meta’s Project Lazarus,…

Pokemon Winds and Waves have been officially unveiled, and I’m sure many will agree when I say the adorable Fire-type starter, Pombon, might be the best part of Generation 10 so far. However, fans are already begging the devs at Game Freak for one thing – please, keep that little dog on four legs.Pombon is an adorable little guy. It’s literally just a fluffy, fire-breathing Pomeranian puppy – what’s not to love? Well, Pokemon fans have been burned many times before with their Fire-type starters (pun intended), which have an odd habit of frequently leaving their cute quadruped forms behind…

SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7X Wireless Gen 2 specs: Connection: 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, USB Microphone: Retractable Drivers: 40mm Frequency response: 20Hz – 22kHz Battery life: 54 hours (2.4GHz), 42 hours (Bluetooth) Price: £180 / $200 So much of what the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7X Wireless Gen 2 does, it does right. Its build quality is outstanding, having a thickness and solidity that most wireless headsets lack. Its stretchy headband, as on pretty much all SteelSeries headsets, successfully tricked my entire skull into thinking it was lighter than it is. It’s flexible, working over Bluetooth or a 2.4GHz dongle, the latter’s USB-C…

Former Highguard senior level designer Alex Graner admits his “biggest fear” came true when the squad shooter failed to keep players around due to what he saw as too much focus on the competitive scene. In a highly competitive space where multiplayer games like Counter-Strike 2, PUBG, Apex Legends, and Arc Raiders dominate the Steam charts, Highguard was going to have to hit hard to make any impression. That didn’t happen, and within just a few weeks Graner and many of his co-workers had already been laid off. Speaking on the Quad Damage podcast, Graner discusses his concerns during the…
