Looking at this thing, you might expect to see it propped up at an airport bar, in front of somebody talking into wireless headphones about Tim in Product. But there’s a lot of frame-rendering and multicore processing power inside this glass-fronted slab with a keyboard cover. It's an impressive showcase for AMD's leap forward in integrated power. The Z13 can rip through Hitman and Shadow of the Tomb Raider on their highest settings at its native 2560×1600 resolution. Turn the resolution down to a reasonable-for-this-size 1920×1080 and you can play Cyberpunk 2077 at its Ultra settings at 45–55 frames per second, depending on your power and upscaling preferences. On a device that is essentially a beefy Microsoft Surface, this is no small thing. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 "Strix Halo" inside the Z13, with the latest Ryzen 8060S GPU built into it, is not just capable—it's a step up from most of the gaming laptops out there. As a Windows convertible, it has some interesting tech and notable upgrades from the 2022 product that was also called the ROG Flow Z13. Its webcam works with Windows Hello and logs you in 95 percent of the time. The keyboard has decent travel, the trackpad has a pleasant smoothness, and you can prop the thing up anywhere along the solid kickstand’s 170-degree range. It’s a Copilot+ PC if that matters to you, and when you’re not pushing ray-traced gaming frames, its battery life is no slouch. Read full article Comments View the full article

Pokémon TCG Pocket players are growing increasingly frustrated with some decision-making around the game, and as new sets become more likely every month, they’re starting to wonder if it’s worth continuing to play with all the fallout.

I am more and more convinced that an insidious cabal of games industry executives—headed by 'Todd Howard' and 'Phil Spencer'—is conspiring to prevent the rumoured Oblivion remaster/remake from releasing to drive me, specifically, to madness. No matter how much I will it, the game has been a no-show at every splashy, trailer-filled videogame event for ages now. Maybe it never existed at all... Read more.View the full article

In Verse Piece, a tiny advantage in damage or HP can be the deciding factor in a close PvP fight. And in PvE, more damage means a faster grinding experience. The final step to really maxing out your stats in Verse Piece is limitbreaking them. So, we prepared the following guide on how to farm Limitbreak Stones and limitbreak stats in Verse Piece to help you out. How Does Limitbreaking Stats Work in Verse Piece? When you limitbreak your stats in Verse Piece, you don't increase their maximum cap or get more stats. Instead, you increase the damage and HP scaling you get from the stats you currently have. You can see how far you have limitbroken your stats by the grades in the stats menu. From best to worst, grades are A, B+, B, C+, C, and D. When you limitbreak your stats to the max (A grade), you will have around 8-10% more DPS and HP. When I did the testing for those numbers, I used the following: Dragonic race Monarch trait (Godly trait passive) Los Lobos Clothes accessory Several different swords, specs, and the Yuji combat style Hot to Limitbreak Stats in Verse Piece Preview of the stat grades in the stats menu To Limitbreak your Stats in Verse Piece, use a Limitbreak Stone from your inventory and select which stat you want to enhance. In total, you will need 20 Limitbreak Stones to max out all of your stats fully. However, your limitbreak priority order should be Sword, Special, Defense, and Combat last. Also, you can't limitbreak a stat above the A grade, so don't worry about wasting your LBS. How to Farm Limitbreak Stones in Verse Piece You can get Limitbreak Stones through three different methods: trading, fishing, and opening chests. Exotic chests have the best chance of containing a Limitbreak Stone, and you can get them by completing limited Verse Piece dungeons. Fishing is the best way to farm Limitbreak Stones in the long run. So, make sure to check out our Verse Piece fishing guide and start farming some LBS right away. After you use a Limitbreak Stone in your inventory, you can choose which stat to limitbreak at the top of your screen Fishing requires no input after you've cast your fishhook [/url] [/url] [/url] If you want to get some Limitbreak Stones in exchange for some other materials you don't need, you can always trade them with other players. To browse the offers of other players, visit the Verse Piece Discord server and search the #trading channel for LBS. That concludes our guide on how to get Limitbreak Stones and limitbreak your stats in Verse Piece. If you are looking to use the full potential of your stats in Verse Piece, then check out our guides on how to get Sung Jin Woo, Cid V2, and Toji V2 swords.

Medal of Honor Allied Assault is a pivotal game in FPS history. After its success, its key developers were headhunted by Infinity Ward, including Vince Zampella and Jason West. Zampella and West went on to create Call of Duty and then found Respawn - without MoH Allied Assault, you might argue, there would be no CoD. But speaking to the qualities of Allied Assault specifically, it represents a different era for shooters. Before the maximalism of Battlefield V or the online brutality of Hell Let Loose, WW2 games had a more adventurous spirit. Part of a turn-of-the-century canon that includes Half-Life, System Shock 2, and No One Lives Forever, Medal of Honor Allied Assault is a true blockbuster - and now it's $3.

I remember the first time I got a loot box drop in Overwatch. As someone who was relatively new to online shooters, I could feel my heart pounding. I clicked the prompt, and there was an explosion of light, accompanied by a triumphant little tune. What dropped was a simple purple Moira recolor, but it felt like I'd won the lottery - it felt like I'd been rewarded. During my entire time with Overwatch I probably only bought three skins maximum, accumulating an entire library of cosmetics using the loot box system and rotating events alone. Unfortunately, coming into Overwatch 2, that simply wasn't the case anymore - loot boxes were gone, and there was yet another battle pass to grind through. Read the rest of the story...
