5 things you need to know about Fortnite on mobile

Fortnite Battle Royale has come to smartphones and these are some key facts you need before you play. The online multiplayer gaming sensation that is Fortnite Battle Royale has come to mobile (well, some of them) taking it one step closer to what seems to be its almost certain world domination.

If you’ve not played Fortnite Battle Royale, we imagine you’ve probably come across its name at some point, whether that’s through an incessantly chattering friend or simply by being online at some point in the past few months.

Acer Predator Triton 700 Review

NVIDIA Max-Q tech helps fit a GTX 1080 into this slim gaming laptop. Acer's been on a bit of a tear lately, releasing some seriously thin laptops of which some other manufacturers can only be jealous.

The Predator Triton 700, Acer's premier 15.6-inch gaming laptop, keeps things almost unbelievably slim considering the hardware that's contained inside, partly thanks to NVIDIA's Max-Q technology, which shrinks down big, beefy graphics cards (GPU) to fit inside a smaller chassis. I used the Triton 700 for about a week, and while it's not a perfect laptop, it's certainly one of the finest gaming devices I've so far seen.

Atari VCS, Classic Joystick, and Modern Controller announced

This is the project previously known as 'Ataribox', and some peripherals.

If you follow the Atari name you will have probably been waiting for further developments regarding the Ataribox. Today we don’t have a great deal more information as Atari seem determined to drip out the information in mere millilitres. Most of the release talks about the iconic Atari brand, and industrial design reflected in the machine. As you can see in the images throughout this article the new Atari VCS looks pretty similar to the old 2600 in design, as does the Classic Joystick. However the Modern Controller does indeed, aptly, embrace modern games controller design.

Aurora Windsailor's Guardian Fighter Tactician Build Guide

Grilka here! This is my Guardian Fighter (GF) alt. I’ve read a lot of other builds and sort of combined a few of those with my own ideas and here is the result. This is a fun build to play, and your party will love you too! You can still tank and do a little damage, but everyone else does a lot more damage.

Aurora's gear is sadly neglected, except for the Lifeforged Weapons (grinding Kabal still gives me nightmares). I think the set bonus on these is too good to change. The new weapons aren’t that great for a tank in my opinion, so I plan on staying with these. Generally, you want defense, deflect, power, and armor penetration for a Guardian Fighter. Any gear with those stats should be great. For my weapon enchantment, I plan to continue using the Lightning Enchantment, as the nerf only applies to DoTs and I don’t use any. I have the Shadowclad Enchantment in my armor, although Negation is my goal for when I have a lot of AD to spare.

BitFenix Enso Review

The BitFenix Enso is the classic wolf in sheep's clothing. It may look like an ordinary 70-80 USD chassis out there when turned off, but as soon as the addressable RGB lights turn on, it becomes apparent how much more the Enso offers while keeping the price enticingly low.

Final Fantasy XV: Performance Analysis With 10 GPUs

Developed and published by Square Enix, Final Fantasy XV was first available for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles back in 2016. It only recently became an option for Windows gamers in March 2018. Was the wait worthwhile?

For Final Fantasy XV: Windows Edition, the developer used an updated version of its multi-platform Luminous Studio engine. While it remains DirectX 11-compatible, a number of Nvidia-specific features are now part of the package, including Voxel Ambient Occlusion, HairWorks, ShadowWorks, Turf Effects, and Nvidia Flow.

This is incidentally one of the game's paradoxes. While it was conceived for eighth-gen consoles based on AMD graphics architectures, Final Fantasy XV: Windows Edition seems to be optimized for Nvidia GPUs. How does that affect performance comparisons in the real world? Our benchmark data should paint a pretty clear picture.

Five Years Without Facebook (Updated)

In 2012 I wrote an article about leaving Facebook. I've kept this stance for about five years now, but an accumulation of several small things during this time have had me questioning whether or not abandoning the social network was the brilliant idea I once thought it was.

HyperX CLOUD Alpha Pro Gaming Headset Review

The latest member in the growing family of CLOUD headsets by HyperX is called the CLOUD Alpha and just like its predecessors it scores high marks in audio performance, build quality and comfort.

While it's true that most gamers seek a gaming headset which will give them the best possible experience with their favorite titles (and why not even give them the edge in online ones) there are always those who are looking to get their hands on an all-around headset which they will be able to use not only at home or the office but also while on the go. Luckily although some recent models failed to impress us with their performance when connected to smartphones and tablets there are many out there who are just as good regardless of what device you decide to use them with. HyperX has been behind quite a few headsets recently and after reviewing most members of their very successful CLOUD family of headsets today we're taking a look at the latest addition to that family the CLOUD Alpha Pro Gaming Headset.

Logic Pros Review: is KORG Gadget’s massive library of instruments worth the heavy price tag?

Today on Logic Pros we are taking a look at KORG Gadget for Mac, and more specifically the sizable Gadget Plug-in Collection that comes with it. The folks at KORG were nice enough to give us a complete license in order to give the full suite of instruments a run for their money inside of Logic Pro X.
Luxury Book iPhone 7 Plus Case

One thing to keep in mind if you’re not familiar here, is that KORG Gadget is in fact its own app/recording suite. The standalone app essentially works as its own DAW and seemed to be quite capable during my time with it. But for the purposes of this review, we will be focusing on the 30+ instruments (AU plug-ins) included with the app that you can run inside Logic Pro (your favorite DAW).

PNY PrevailPro P4000 Laptop Review: Quadro Workstation Power, Consumer Chassis

PNY's first workstation notebook may be a consumer-oriented Clevo platform, but ours came maxed out with lots of memory and a Quadro GPU. Let's put it to the test. PNY's PrevailPro mobile workstation family starts in the $2500 range, but quickly ramps up to the around-$4500 P4000 model we're reviewing today. Availability seems to be working itself out slowly. Though the PrevailPro family was announced in November of 2017, a handful of online vendors do show configurations ready to ship within a couple of days.

A closer look at the tooling indicates that PNY is using the Taiwanese ODM Clevo as a contract manufacturer. PNY's version is based on the P955 platform, but it enables more opulent hardware options. After all, the company needs to justify its business-oriented price tag.

This 100TB SSD is the world’s largest and it’s available now

You can fit 20,000 HD movies on this mammoth SSD. It’d take you something like four whole years to watch that lot. Nimbus Data has revealed the ExaDrive DC100 with a 100TB capacity, which the firm says is being sampled with select customers now, and it’ll hit the market with general availability in the summer.

It uses 3D NAND, and to put that capacity in perspective, it’s enough space to store 20,000 HD movies. The drive is capable of sequential read and write speeds of up to 500MB/s.

Zersius’ Oathbound Paladin Oath of Protection Build Guide

Zersius’ Oathbound Paladin (OP) has a great build and he’s kind enough to let me publish it! This is focused on Tanking, but it does enough damage to run content. He recommends Half-Orc or Human for the race.

This build focuses on HP and Power. Constitution and Charisma are the primary focus for ability scores. As for gear, we recommend anything with power and HP, but the best items available are the Deepknight’s Brigandine and the Rex Corona. The Lifeforged Weapons are probably still Best in Slot, but the Wootz Weapons are a great starter set. As for artifacts, Zersius plans on changing the Aurora’s Catalog to a Lantern of Revelation.
