As a quick reminder: Microsoft plans to spend $190 billion on AI in 2026. In 2025, the company spent $80 billion...

    More forgiving than the specs revealed in February.

    Revised and updated PC system requirements were just released today for LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight. The new requirements shared today are far more lenient when compared to ones released back in February. Amusingly, those requirements in February were also an improvement from requirements that were shared even earlier.

    MindsEye 'Blacklisted' Update Fails to Blow the Doors Wide Open on the Big Conspiracy

    MindsEye is still dogshit, now there's just more of it.

    Build a Rocket Boy (BARB) released the new "Blacklisted" update for MindsEye today. From what I have read about this content, Blacklisted is just as terrible as the base game of MindsEye with the added bonus of allegedly containing actual "evidence" of alleged sabotage against the game prior to release.

    Blacklisted is the probably the most insane release from a developer in the history of video...

  • How Many Games Did You Complete in 2025?
    by Shawn Zipay
    Make up your own definition of "complete."

    Was 2025 a big year for game completions for you, or were you more of a "stick to one never-ending, live-service game for the entire year" sort of player?

    For this, you can take whatever definition you want as a game "completion." Beat the main story? Earned 100% of the game's achievements? Or simply played enough that you're satisfied with what you accomplished and have no plans to return any time...
    I did not complete any game in 2025
