Redfall is Getting its Offline Mode and Single-Player Pausing Afterall in One Final Update

Xbox fans, and some of their employees, were blindsided earlier this month when Microsoft announced a number of their studios were being shuttered, including the “gut stab” closure of Arkane Austin, developer of the acclaimed Prey and the more troubled Redfall. Following the announcement Arkane Austin was shutting up shop, it was reported that the team had been working on additional updates for Redfall, including one that would deliver a long-promised offline mode.

Since the new standard is compatible with existing designs, it takes little effort for manufacturers to provide a safer and more robust platform that ensures stable power delivery to your PCs all the while tackling issues such as high power variances, spikes, and most importantly, safeguard from some of the troubles that were encountered with previous 16-pin connector designs.

NuPhy Halo75 V2 Review — A Prebuilt Keyboard with All The Custom Goodness

When I reviewed the NuPhy Gem80, I was sure that I would not find a better keyboard than that, and I was also certain that such an experience can only be possible if you build the keyboard yourself.

If you are not looking to shell out upwards of $200 on a custom keyboard and still want a great […]

Beginning on the Wii as a perhaps over-literal expression of Nintendo’s 2010s-era “blue ocean” strategy, the series got two entries in quick succession then disappeared, for good many assumed. Well, surprise! Nearly 15 years after we were last graced with an entry in the series, Endless Ocean Luminous is sailing our way. Is Endless […]
