Virtual Mt. Everest Will Let Anyone Climb It

You’ve (probably) never climbed Mt Everest. Icelandic studio Sólfar Studios want to help change that, without the hassle of having to risk death by extreme cold. Which is a very real risk, since nearly 300 climbers have been killed since 1922 trying to reach the summit. They’re workingon a model of the world’s tallest mountain…

Philip K. Dick: The Video Game

We’ve all seen movies, read books and played games inspired by the works of sci-fi author Philip K. Dick. Californium is different. It’s not a game about his worlds. It’s a game about Dick himself.

Card Games Are Invading Your Video Games

Don’t look now, but your favourite video games are being infiltrated by the humble playing card. Card games may be over 1000 years old, but as a way for people to get together and play (and talk shit) across a table, they should have been replaced in recent decades by video games, because video games…

Black Ops 3’s PC Version Fixes Crippling Slowdown Issue

Black Ops 3 launched on PC with some fairly serious issues, chief among them the fact it ran like stuttering garbage on i5 processors. A week later, is it safe to actually try and play the game if you’d previously been having problems? Probably. I can’t vouch for everyone’s PC, and the millions of possible…

Man Walks Across The Fallout Games

Reader Conor, the same guy who walked all the way across the Grand Theft Auto series, has decided to do the same thing with the 3D Fallout games. Because fast travel is for suckers. Traversing Fallouts 3, New Vegas and 4, he mostly walks, but where necessary jogs and swims to cut a path diagonally…

How A Cosplayer Transforms Into A StarCraft Character

BlizzCon had some incredible cosplay on display this year, but one of the most impressive outfits was Bindi Smalls’ Nova, which was almost entirely 3D-printed.

Fallout’s Flaming Sword, Properly Recreated In Real Life

The shishkebab, long one of Fallout’s coolest weapons, returns in Fallout 4. It also makes its debut in the real world, thanks to Caleb Kraft’s workmanship and thirst for workshop danger.
