To celebrate the launch of the Steam Deck OLED late last year, Valve constructed an entire orb built from 100 OLED prototypes it had “laying around the office”. Well, to celebrate and create the launch trailer using practical photography rather than some rubbish built inside a computer.
And, to commemorate that feat, Valve has created a behind the scenes timelapse video and blog post detailing exactly how it made the orb, and how it got all those 100 Steam Deck OLED prototypes working in unison to light the scene in camera.
Because that’s where it all came from. The idea to do the launch trailer for the new handheld in-house was something Valve came to early on, but it was only once it started to see the new OLED screens in the office that they realised just how bright their new panels were.
“Startlingly bright. So bright, in fact, we wondered if we could use actual Steam Deck OLEDs as the only light sources to light our launch trailer. That…
Walmart is not the first place I think of when it comes to looking for the best PC gaming deals. And it’s especially not the place I’d think of looking for the best Amazon Prime Day deals, either, yet here we are in the topsy-turvy world of 2024 and Walmart is smashing it.
Whether it’s a $599 MSI gaming laptop, a $329 Samsung 4K IPS screen, a full RTX 4060 gaming PC for $699, an RTX 4070 laptop for under $1,200, or the cheapest RTX 4060 and RTX 4060 Ti prices we’ve seen, Walmart has a bunch of deals for the discerning PC gamer. And we are naught if not discerning.
I rather think that $699 gaming PC is the pick of the lot—it’s a serious machine for the money, without compromise—but if you’ve been looking for an affordable new machine this is probably where I’d be spending my money right now.
Normally I’d be thinking Newegg for my PC gaming goodies, it’s usually capable of beating out the Amazon moral morass of dubious discounts, but even just a cas…
There’s a helpful clue for today’s Wordle below—just the thing to turn a tough game around, especially when paired with our usual batch of universal tips and tricks. Failing that, the answer for the October 26 (859) game’s only a quick click away if you need to save an impossible puzzle.
Today’s Wordle was almost—but thankfully not quite—a complete disaster for me. One yellow took too many attempts to turn green, and when it finally did I felt almost as clueless as I did at the beginning. After much fumbling in the dark I found myself with one guess left, and two words that’d fit perfectly in the strange gap I’d uncovered. I’m glad I made it, but I hope I don’t come that close to losing for a while.

Today’s Wordle didn’t take too many goes to clear, but it did take an embarrassingly long amount of time to make sense of the jumble of yellow letters I found in my opening guesses. It’s obvious now the answer’s staring back at me, but for a good few minutes I just couldn’t see this word (or any other) at all.

Frostpunk 2 finally has a release date, and I hope your bathing suit is insulated because things are gonna get pretty chilly this summer: the survival city builder sequel is coming July 25.
A new trailer released today during the Xbox Showcase not only delivered the launch date but gave us a look at the surprisingly massive frozen city we’ll be managing, a brief glimpse of the factions contending for power, and showed how the city will expand into new areas via “frostbreaking”—which involves sending enormous ice-cutting machines out onto the frozen tundra. Have a look:
If you just can’t wait until July 25 to play Frostpunk 2, you’ve got a few options provided you don’t mind spending money before the game is released. You probably remember last year the trend was to give players who preordered a game access a few days earlier if they preordered: Starfield, Modern Warfare 3, and Hogwart’s Legacy all did it.
Frostpunk 2 is taking a slightly weirder approac…
Veiled Experts is a 5v5 third-person tactical shooter being developed by Nexon that’s set to come out later this year, but you can try it for free starting tonight (or early in the morning, depending on your time zone situation) in the game’s final beta test, which will be open to all on Steam.
The game follows the exploits of “multinational agents engaged in a worldwide conflict between governments, corporations and terrorists,” all of it driven by the discovery of a new and highly advanced “Lepton” technology that grants special abilities to its users—which, of course, includes the agents fighting over it.
The final Veiled Experts beta test will feature nine unique agents and multiple game modes in a destructible game world featuring variable weather effects and “an ever-changing magnetic field that ensures that no two battles ever play out the same way”—essentially a battle royale-style shrinking circle that keeps the action moving by forcing players…
