The BenQ X3100i has long reigned over the PS5 projector world, but its $2,000+ MSRP has never shifted into the next price bracket. Amazon’s just changed all that, though, dropping the 4K thrower down to its lowest rate yet.The best projector for gaming is now down to $1,799 on these shelves, an impressive $600 discount from its original $2,399 starting position. I’ve been watching this one for a while now, it never drops below $2,199. Not only is this the cheapest the X3100i has been, it’s also $400 off the previous record. Excellent news for anyone building a PS5 setup…

Valve writer Erik Wolpaw, one of the leading scribes behind Portal and a long-time staple of the developer’s games, has revealed the ways he and several co-workers have been experimenting with generative-AI tools and what they’re capable of. Speaking on the MinnMax podcast, Wolpaw says he believes there’s potential for its use in reactive dialog, or to play the “straight man” to high chaos games like Grand Theft Auto.

After making his name working on Psychonauts, Wolpaw joined Valve…

After years of major updates and a first expansion that amps up the horror tension, Pacific Drive is better than ever, and best of all, cheaper than ever. Pacific Drive is truly a surprise in almost every conceivable way. Set in the Olympic…
