Just the thought of another tank meta makes League of Legends players tremble in fear. The idea of these five thousand health behemoths one-shotting your ADC is terrifying. Sadly, that is the case in 2025, but one player believes they have cracked the code to kill these tanks. Tanks at certain points in League history have been too problematic for the game. There were the dreaded periods between 2016 and 2017 where tanks were simply unkillable. The ROX Tigers base defense against Albus Nox Luna, where Poppy and Trundle felt like end-game bosses, comes to mind. Then there was the Banner of Command meta, where tank top laners were left alone on their island to split with the buffed-up minions. View the full article
Surviving the wasteland is tough. Resources are scarce, defenses are limited and, as ever, people are the most terrifying monsters of all. That's the unique promise of the survival game - it's brutal, but then again, the harsh landscapes of DayZ, Fallout, and The Long Dark nowadays feel like escapism.

MSI’s new 27-inch 4K OLED monitor. | Image: MSI 27-inch 4K OLED 240Hz monitors seem to be like buses: you wait ages for one and then three turn up at once. Asus, Samsung, and MSI are all announcing the industry’s next-generation QD-OLED gaming monitors that offer the benefits of 4K OLED 240Hz panels at the smaller 27-inch size instead of 32 inches. All three appear to be using the same fourth generation QD-OLED panel from Samsung Display, which Asus says offers “a longer lifespan over previous-gen OLEDs.” Both the Asus ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM and the MSI MPG 272URX QD-OLED (who names these things?) include DisplayPort 2.1a (UHBR20), which offers 80Gbps of bandwidth to support 4K at 240Hz without the need for Display Stream Compression (DSC). Samsung’s press release about its Odyssey OLED G8 (G81SF) doesn’t mention DisplayPort 2.1a compatibility, but it’s reasonable to assume it’s part of the spec list. Image: Asus Asus’ latest OLED monitor has a 26.5-inch viewable display. Image: Samsung Samsung’s Odyssey G8 now comes in a 27-inch OLED 4K 240Hz variant. MSI and Asus’ models both support DisplayHDR True ****** 400, and Asus also supports Dolby Vision HDR. Both MSI and Asus are offering a three-year warranty that includes burn-in protection, but Samsung hasn’t confirmed its warranty situation for its latest G8 model. Samsung also hasn’t fully detailed the specs of its latest G8 OLED model, but it’s reasonable to assume it will support DisplayHDR True ****** 400 at the minimum. Interestingly, Asus’ model only has a 26.5-inch viewable display, but both MSI and Samsung are marketing their monitors as 27-inch ones. With all three offering the 0.03ms response times of OLED, 240Hz refresh rates, and above 160PPI for improved text clarity, the choice will really come down to design, features, and pricing. Unfortunately, Samsung, Asus, and MSI haven’t announced release dates or pricing yet. View the full article

Although you can’t move for simulation games these days, the Two Point series fills a niche that had been forgotten for too long. The first entry, Two Point Hospital, was directly intended to be a spiritual successor to the classic ‘90s sim Theme Hospital. While others had tried to replicate the old-school Bullfrog style, Two Point Hospital excelled by bringing back some of the developers who actually worked on Theme Hospital, leading to a spiritual successor which delivered that perfect British sense of humor and absurdity that was lacking in so many of its imitators.

Brendan Greene, the modder-turned-millionaire who designed battle royale game PUBG: Battlegrounds, wants to make his studio's next game a "metaverse", although he says he's wary of using the term. The project is called "Artemis" (at least for now) and you won't be seeing it any time soon. That's because the studio is still working on the tech behind it all, and plans to release two other games before it. Meaning it'll be 10-15 years before it actually comes out. Greene describes Artemis as an internet-like platform where users create and share things, but doesn't say specifically what those things might be. He doesn't know how his user-led "multiverse of worlds" will be moderated, or how it will prevent copyright infringement, or what makes this idea distinct from, say, Roblox. He is nonetheless "full of confidence". Read more View the full article
