This stream will follow a 7- to 8-day trek on one of the world’s most well-known Himalayan trails.

I really enjoy playing games with someone on the couch. One of the downsides of playing alone is experiencing big, exciting moments without anyone to share them with. While updates and new features are great for keeping games interesting, both those and major plot twists are often more fun when you’re playing with a friend.

This game is a spin-off that explores an alternate timeline where the player character failed to stop the General’s group two years prior. Ashes: Blackwater takes place in a single, large location made up of six interconnected maps. You’ll play as a scavenger struggling to survive in a post-nuclear war America.

We’ve translated the key details from a recent interview about the Evangelion collaboration and the new Nintendo Switch 2. In the interview, Naoki Yoshida talks about how the Switch 2’s ability to be played both on the go and docked opens up new gameplay possibilities, and that the system aims to maintain a stable 30 frames per second while playing in towns and cities.

So, MKBHD and Mrwhosetheboss just dropped this video, and honestly, it’s a deep dive into how tech companies can be pretty misleading. They basically break down all the tricks companies use to make their products seem better than they actually are – it’s a really interesting watch if you’re like me and pay attention to tech specs and marketing.

According to the official website, the new Switch 2 will be capable of 4K resolution with HDR at up to 30 frames per second when connected to a TV (docked). In handheld mode, it will display in 1080p with HDR, also at up to 30fps. A ‘performance mode’ will prioritize smoother gameplay at up to 60fps in both docked and handheld modes, but won’t support HDR. Currently, the Switch 2 is the only platform confirmed to offer HDR visuals in its quality mode. Bandai Namco has announced that performance mode options are also being added to PlayStation 5 and Xbox, though the resolution for those versions hasn’t been revealed yet.

This weekly podcast, which started in 2024, features Pokimane and LilyPichu discussing their lives, current events, and online happenings. The show is based on their fun dynamic – Pokimane is known for being upbeat, while LilyPichu often provides a more critical or playful perspective.

Valve had been planning to release new hardware, including the Steam Machine, in 2026. This would have been another try for the company to sell pre-built PCs, similar to gaming consoles. However, rising RAM prices are now causing problems, and Valve might not be able to offer the Steam Machine at a price customers can afford.

This special offer is for all players of Star Trek Online, Neverwinter, and Champions Online, whether you’re new to the games or returning after a break. While these games are free to play, this promotion gives you a powerful, fully-equipped character that starts at the highest level. This means new players can skip the early stages and jump right into the action, and returning players can quickly rejoin the game without having to start over with a new character.

As a long-time fan, it’s crazy to think that map hasn’t been played in competitive matches since March 2019! That means it’s been out of the regular rotation for seven whole years now, which feels like forever.
