  Online Features Return to Dark Souls: Remastered

  11 months after being disabled, online functionality returns to Dark Souls.
  
  In late January 2022, a major security exploit was discovered that existed across all Dark Souls titles. This exploit could allow for bad actors to remotely execute code on a victim's PC if they so desired. This could, in theory, give attackers full and unrestricted access to your machine. Prior to the release of Elden Ring, FromSoftware disabled the online functionality for all Dark Souls titles on PC while...

  FIFA to Embrace Blockchain and Web 3.0 in First Post-EA Games

  You can hear EA laughing from here.
  
  After EA refused to pay the staggering $1 billion (USD) to FIFA for the use of their branding, FIFA decided to take their ball and run home. The organization said that they planned to continue offering their license to other developers for future soccer game releases and that is precisely what seems to be happening.
  
  The catch here, and wow is it ever an amusing one, is that the first titles coming from FIFA will utilize the blockchain...

  Is Ubisoft Planning a Return to Steam?

  Recent behind the scenes changes suggest this may be a possibility.
  
  In 2019, the final Ubisoft game on Steam was released. That game was Trials Rising. Since then, if you were a PC owner and a fan of Ubisoft's output, you were only able to purchase their titles from their first-party Ubisoft Connect or through everyone's favorite storefront, the Epic Games Store. As the months turned to years, it seemed like Ubisoft's return to Steam just wasn't going to happen.
  
  This week,...

  Destiny 2 Telesto 'Bug' Intentionally Added for Mysterious Community Puzzle

  I see stars above...
  
  Destiny 2 is really no stranger to its fair share of bugs and issues over the years. This was never more evident than in the fact one of the game's weapons, named Telesto, was almost always unintentionally breaking or breaking something else within the game. It has been disabled and reenabled countless times. There is even a Telesto Report website that lists off every time the weapon has had a bug.
  
  A new update for Destiny 2 was released today. It...

  Pwn Some n00bs While Eating Nuggies in Your McDonald's Gaming Chair

  I do not regret that headline one iota.
  
  McDonald's, the fast-food place most closely associated with a clown, is making a gaming chair. It's no ordinary gaming chair. It is, the McCrispy chair. McDonald's, at least in Great Britain, is offering one lucky winner of a Facebook competition the chance to place their buttocks onto the off yellow and black padding of the McCrispy gaming chair. This is all being done to celebrate the launch of a new "chicken burger" that just also...
