The Elements of Gadgets and Gaming
New Xbox Series and PlayStation 5 consoles are running into numerous technical problems, and early adopters are none to happy. Owners of Sony’s 9th generation beast are reporting bugs that cause the system crash and soft-brick. Several reviewers have managed to replicate the issue. Demitris from Modern Vintage Gamer encountered it while playing Call of…
Every year, it has been my tradition to play through Grim Fandango on Día de los Muertos. It seems odd that one could build an entire game around a Mexican holiday that’s rather obscure in the rest of the world. Or rather was back when the game was released in 1998, some 20 years before…
The Xbox Series X has only been out for two days now. At least for the lucky few who were able to grab a pre-order, or stupid enough to pay a scalper. Well, already the console is generating some controversy after some units allegedly started smoking due to overheating. This would be a pretty serious…
I generally try to refrain from dedicating an entire article to poke fun at other gaming sites. It’s low hanging fruit and a tad tasteless. However, every so often you get one that puts out a take so hilariously bad that I can’t help myself. Enter Kotaku and their truly bizarre review of the PlayStation…
In news that should surprise absolutely nobody, AMD’s new Zen 3 processors have been quickly scooped up by scalpers. The blazing fast CPUs created quite the stir when they were announced back at the start of October. They finally shipped to retailers this week. Though unfortunately, you’re not likely to get any. Most retailers are…

In a shareholders meeting this week, the company annoucned that they would transfer 85.1% of their shares in Sega Entertainment to rival Japanese amusement company Genda. The latter will operate Club Sega arcades in Japan, while Sega themselves will continue to…
Camping out for the launch of a new console is one of video gaming’s most time honoured traditions. Well, at least among the handful of diehards who cannot bare a nanosecond to be without the latest shiny. However Sony is telling PlayStation 5 fans not to bother this time, as none will actually be available…
Cyberpunk 2077 has been delayed yet again. This time, CD Projekt Red has pushed the hotly anticipated release back another few weeks to December 10th. This is the third time this year the game has been delayed. While the Communist Orchestrated Viral Infection Disaster has been blamed for a lot of these issues, it’s important…
The Halloween season is upon us again. Which means Treehouse of Horror is back on The Simpsons. It’s one of the few aspects of the show that remained consistently not terrible during the modern run. But instead of the new stuff, we’re of course going to dive into the classics and pick out ten of…
It’s fair to say that Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is probably the most anticipated Switch game this Fall. Who doesn’t want more Zelda? Well, a demo dropped this week, so we finally have a taste of what to expect come late November. Really, there’s a lot to love here for both Zelda fans and…
