     Which League of Legends skins are currently on sale?

Which League of Legends skins are currently on sale in the store? LoL is a free-to-play game in the truest sense - you can enjoy everything the MOBA has to offer for absolutely nothing. Now if you were to ask a seasoned League player if that were true, they'd probably have to stifle a few tears as they check how much their bank account has suffered buying skins since they started battling on the Rift.

Riot rotates a series of skins in the store, with the savviest of us holding out until the cosmetic they want ends up in the discount section store or even the League of Legends Mythic shop. The shiny new cosmetics are only available briefly, so make sure you act fast if you want to snag the new hotness. Here is every League of Legends skin on sale right now if you want to know what's in the store without booting up the client.

     Nvidia GeForce RTX 4000 Super prices could be worth waiting for

New leaks concerning GeForce RTX 4000 Super prices may indicate that Nvidia is gearing up to launch a cavalcade of cards with cheaper price points than their non-Super counterparts. Better still, they should arrive with souped-up specs and force the cost of existing graphics cards down.

     What is the Destiny 2 Lost Sector rotation?

What is today's Lost Sector in Destiny 2? Before you can take on Legend Lost Sectors, you need to complete all the normal Lost Sectors first. If you don't, the new Legend Lost Sectors will not appear on the map. Each day, the location, modifiers, and rewards rotate out for something new.

While many Destiny 2 exotics can be bought from Xûr or even in the world loot pool, the Destiny 2 Exotics in these special Lost Sector instances cannot, forcing players to explore these dangerous areas if they want the best equipment available. It's important to remember that exotic drops are not guaranteed after completing these quests, so you may have to run through the same Lost Sector multiple times. You can go through the quests in the free PC game with a fireteam, but your rewards will be reduced to Enhancement Cores only.

     The 15 best Baldur's Gate 3 mods

What are the best Baldur's Gate 3 mods? The modding community working on Larian games has a storied history when it comes to DOS and Baldur's Gate, and the BG3 community is no different thanks to official mod support for the DnD game. We've delved into the BG3 mods that are available to add even more to the already massively entertaining game to find the very best ones.

As we tell you in our Baldur's Gate 3 review, the RPG game is filled with interesting and unique experiences, including hours of content that most players will likely never see, which includes most of the Baldur's Gate 3 endings. Somehow, though, the modding community has still found gaps worth filling in Baldur's Gate 3.

     How to find and destroy a mercenary convoy in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies

Looking for a mercenary convoy in MW3 Zombies? There are many tasks you'll be lumped with while playing Modern Warfare 3 Zombies, but one of the more frustrating ones early on is the Interceptor mission. To complete this mission you have to find a mercenary convoy patrolling the map and destroy it.

The main issue with this is that the mercenary convoy isn't shown on the map, so finding it can be difficult - freely exploring the map can be troublesome, seeing as everything with teeth is after your blood. If you're new to Modern Warfare 3, check out our MW3 review for our thoughts on the FPS game, and if you want to be as prepared as possible for the fight ahead, we have a list of the best MW3 loadouts here.

     How to use Tac-Stance in MW3

How does Tac-Stance work in MW3? Tac-Stance, short for tactical stance, is a new feature introduced in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 that gives you a new firing method. In MW3, you have three ways to hold your weapons: hip fire, Tac-Stance, and aim down sights (ADS).

Tac-Stance is the middle ground between the two firing methods in Modern Warfare 3, providing you with extra mobility and higher accuracy compared to hip firing, without needing to slow down when aiming down sights. Not only does this stance make certain weapon classes considerably better, but you can also unlock numerous Modern Warfare 3 weekly challenges to gain experience, weapon camos, and armory unlocks.

     The RTX 4090 melting problem is bad, but fixing it is worse

Melting PC components is never good, but when your brand new Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 starts acting up, that's when the worry kicks in. Well, it turns out that fixing these melted connectors is a bigger issue for the health of whoever is repairing it, especially if they're not taking the proper precautions.

NorthridgeFix took to their YouTube channel to talk about the issue where the 12VHPWR connectors are literally melting on Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 graphics cards. Not only do they dispute claims from Gamers Nexus that the issue is one caused by the user, but they take us through their safety protocols for when they fix a card, and it's apparent that it's no laughing matter.

     Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 release date, campaign, and multiplayer

When was the Modern Warfare 3 release date? There were rumors last year that Activision might be taking a break from its annual cycle of Call of Duty games, giving Sledgehammer Games more time to craft a sequel. Well, whether it was a good thing or not, it turned out that those rumors were false, and the team developed MW3 in just months.

Modern Warfare 2 was originally intended to last two years, with Sledgehammer Games set to work on a 'premium release' expansion to continue the FPS game's single-player campaign. This plan pivoted to a full-blown release with Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3. Here's all the details around the MW3 release date, the campaign, new Modern Warfare Zombies, and multiplayer.

     Modern Warfare 3 has a lower Steam rating than Aliens Colonial Marines

The Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 campaign is, according to Steam, officially worse than Aliens Colonial Marines. As the new CoD struggles on Valve's platform to match the player numbers of Modern Warfare 2, and the return of Captain Price, Ghost, and the gang seemingly fails to spark enthusiasm, the MW3 campaign mode drops below the infamous Gearbox tie-in shooter from 2013 based on buyer responses. CoD multiplayer, Warzone, and the overhauled Modern Warfare 3 zombies mode are faring better, but the single-player component of this year's Call of Duty has been met with a cold reception.

     Evangelion is spelt wrong on $700 Asus ROG motherboard, yes really

Imagine building hype for an Evangelion-themed line of PC hardware, then spelling the name wrong, plain to see, on the motherboard. Well, Asus is finding out exactly how this feels after units of the Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Hero motherboard have shipped with the name of the anime show - the show that this entire collaboration is built around - misspelled as EvangeNlion. Ouch.

Asus is known for its hand in shipping some of the best gaming laptops on the market, but when it comes to standalone components and gaming PCs, it might want to bury its head in the sand for a little while after this mistake.

     Best action-adventure games on PC 2023

What are the best action-adventure games on PC? These games have been capturing the thrill of an expedition ever since Indiana Jones swung across a chasm with his trusty whip to retrieve an idol from a booby-trapped tomb. The PC boasts some true classics of the genre, from classic tomb raiding to games with enough exploration to fill an entire sandbox - not the one in your backyard.

This list has some of the best PC games ever made, action-adventure or otherwise, including several titles that changed the gaming industry. The original Uncharted trilogy isn't here, as emulation or PlayStation Now doesn't count, but we'd happily change our minds if it ever came to PC. Here's the definitive list of the best action-adventure games.

November 13, 2023: We added a couple new Haze Piece codes for the latest like rewards.

What are the new Haze Piece codes? Like many Roblox experiences, Haze Piece is inspired by the popular One Piece anime. If you aspire to become the king of the pirates, then you can get a head start by typing in some codes for free race spins, gems, and even some stat refunds if you fancy changing things up a bit.

There are several other anime-inspired Roblox games out there, with the most popular ones at the moment giving away loads of free stuff via codes. We have regularly updated lists for Peroxide codes, Blox Fruits codes, and Project Slayers codes, among many others. For now, though, let's run through the Haze Piece codes and the rewards on offer.

     New Skyrim mod gives the most tranquil feature an immersive overhaul

Back when fishing was added to Skyrim, I genuinely lost myself in the simple tranquility of the extra mechanic Bethesda built into its ever-expanding vision of Tamriel. The fishing mechanics aren't anything to write home about, sure, as you're not getting anything close to Sega Bass Fishing, but it was a fun distraction that made the world of Skyrim feel a little bit more alive. Now, Skyrim's fishing has been overhauled by one of the most respected modders in the business, making it even more tranquil than before.

     Tekken 8 release date, betas, and trailers

When is the Tekken 8 release date? As one of the biggest fighting games in the world, Tekken 7 was the most impressive game in the series to date, so it's no surprise that fans are excited to see what the developers have in store for the next entry.

One of the most highly anticipated fighting games got its big reveal during September's Sony State of Play, pleasantly surprising Tekken fans with the shock reveal that Tekken 8 was in development, with a trailer premiering showcasing gameplay in the new game engine. Given the critical and commercial success of Tekken 7, there's a strong possibility Tekken 8 will end up on our best PC games list in the future. Now that we've seen a fair bit of the game, here's everything we know about the Tekken 8 release date, the recent beta test, trailers, gameplay, story, and more.

     Tekken 8 roster – every confirmed and leaked character

November 13, 2023: Added entry for Reina, the final character revealed in the base Tekken 8 roster.

Which characters are in Tekken 8? Over the years, many fighters have participated in the King of Iron Fist Tournaments, but the latest installment sees the absence of one key face in particular. Heihatchi Mishima is officially dead, and now the world's fate is in the hands of those rising to face his demonic son, Kazuya. Some directly oppose him, whereas others fight for their own ambitions.

Most of the characters in the Tekken 8 roster so far revealed are returning characters, and we've had enough time with some of them that we've got a Tekken 8 tier list that shows how good they are during the early stages of development. Some fighters have been with the fighting game series since the beginning, whereas others are more recent inclusions, and one character is even making a long-awaited comeback in Tekken 8. With all 32 characters officially revealed, all we need now is to wait for the Tekken 8 release date, so in the meantime, here is everything we know about the roster so far.

You might have heard of the "horseshoe theory" in political science, which holds that far-left and far-right groups are actually closer to one another in terms of values and objectives than the political centre, coming together like the prongs of a horseshoe. I would like to propose an analogous theory for horror games and cute games whereby past a certain point of cuteness, the videogame in question teeters over dramatically into dread and nausea.

As evidence of this, please witness the unholy magnificence of Saccharinity of Starfield, a Starfield mod from lucyprrrr that treats Starfield's items, spaceships, buildings, vegetation, planet models and, worst of all, people to a barbie-doll makeover reminiscent of a seriously overclocked shoujo anime. Do you like pink? No you don't. Not this much.

The best early Black Friday SSD deals combine nippy solid state storage, freshly slashed prices, and an impeccable sense of timing. Not only are the increasing girth of game installs making capacity more valuable than ever, but some new games are so reliant on fast loading that they can't even run reliably on creaking old mechanical hard drives. Looking at you, Starfield and Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. Little scamps.

I do not greatly enjoy the playing of Diablo 4, but I do rather enjoy its hellish setting, which I would characterise as a Warhammer table-top diorama dunked in a bucket of frozen offal. As such, I'm tickled gall-bladder-pink to hear that Blizzard consider the action-RPG series "a wonderful platform" for different types of game, now that they've made the leap to an open world format.

For the most part, said experimentation will occur in the course of Diablo 4 expansions - the first of which, Diablo 2 throwback Vessel of Hatred, will launch in late 2024, adding a new class to the game described as "never before seen in the Diablo universe". But from the sounds of things, there's scope for the "franchise in general" to evolve too.
