Patch 1.05 is live There’s some new Elden Ring quality of life features afoot, courtesy of patch 1.05, which just dropped this week. One big change? Bell Bearings (items that let you buy new items from shops after being turned in) will carry over to New Game+ runs. It sounds small, but it’s a really nice change that streamlines multiple playthroughs. In short, you only need to find those items one time and they’ll augment all future playthroughs: rather than go through the tediousness of doing them over and over.…

Blizzard Entertainment put itself on the map with fantastic real-time strategy (RTS) games like Warcraft III and Starcraft. Blizzard moved away from making RTS games, and many developers who worked on those classics left the company during its past few tumultuous years. Frost Giant Studios is one of the teams that subsequently banded together and is made up of alumni from titles like Warcraft III, Starcraft, and Starcraft II. Frost Giant finally revealed its first game, a free-to-play sci-fi RTS game called…

Even though it was possibly the most hyped-up game prior to launch, not many could’ve predicted just how popular Elden Ring would end up being. It has single-handedly outsold the entirety of the Dark Souls series, on its own, within just a few months of release. Even more impressively, it outsold the latest Call of Duty game, which has held the best-selling spot for the past decade or so every year. The once niche genre that FromSoftware really started to refine with 2009’s Demons’ Souls has finally become…

Installing a Ring video doorbell is one of the easiest smart home upgrades to tackle (with the possible exception of screwing in a smart lightbulb).

This is handy for making sure you don’t miss a visitor as well as for keeping an eye on packages if you’re not home. Getting a Ring video doorbell set…

Playable on itch.io here, the demake can be played in-browser, via emulators or even on real retro hardware. A trailer for the…

Visual spoilers If you haven’t seen this Elden Ring boss size comparison video yet, it’s definitely worth a watch. After you’ve finished the game, of course! If you’ve been avoiding spoilers, here’s a text shield! Also I made sure the header image just featured what basically amount to regular enemies, and not major bosses. In any case, the video just walks by lifeless models of the bosses, and no fights are shown until the very end. Crafted by the Garden of Eyes YouTube channel, this one came across my desk thanks…
