Lately, I’ve been wondering: are arena-style shooters back on the rise? My instinct says no, as the battle royale genre still clearly reigns as king. However, with games like Splitgate and Halo Infinite, I’m thinking that perhaps there’s some evidence of growing battle royale fatigue, and classic shooter action may once more return. It feels too early to say for sure. However, with LEAP, announced this week by Blue Isle Studios, it’s clear that arena shooters aren’t ready to bite the dust yet. Described as a ‘blend of FPS genres,’ LEAP will feature battles with up to 60 players who fight on the ground and in the air. Will it be different enough to drag people from Fortnite for a bit? We’ll know when LEAP enters closed beta starting next week.
LEAP‘s developer certainly has an interesting pedigree. If you don’t recall the name Blue Isle, then you may surely know of its first game known as Slender: The Arrival. Yes, the ̵...

Research from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) notes that crypto assets have emerged from the fringe to become intertwined with the traditional system, posing new risks and questions. In its report titled “Cryptic Connections: Spillovers between Crypto and Equity Markets,” the IMF says that the widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies could pose financial stability risks given […]
Warriors of the Empire, hear me! While my pink blood longs for the battlefield as much as any of my Klingon brothers and sisters, the time has come to admit that our alliance with the weaklings in the Federation does have some fringe benefits. Not only have we regained access to classic texts from that most celebrated Klingon storyteller, Shakespeare, we now have a means of preserving our written heritage for humans. LibreOffice, a Federation means of processing written words, will soon support the glorious Klingon language. Qapla‘!
Star Trek's fictional species of space vikings have technically had their own language since The Trouble with Tribbles way back in the original TV series, but the film series started expanding Klingon into a semi-functional language during the 1980s. With a combination of canon works and the help of enthusiastic fans, Klingon has become a somewhat “real” language over the few decades, complete with its own promotional institute and official translations of such works as Hamlet, the Epic of Gilgamesh, and A Christmas Carol.
The open-source developers of LibreOffice are getting in on the fun, perhaps inspired by a similar move from Duolingo. Starting next month, LibreOffice 7.3 will support writing in the semi-official Klingon language. Students turning in their reports on the Khitomer Accords will surely appreciate it. Perhaps more practically, it'll come along with support for the Interslavic language, which joins over 100 (real) languages already supported by the free office suite.
It was a big deal when Sony began porting some of its exclusive PlayStation games to PC. As the company puts out some of the highest-budget, best-made games around, the possibilities were very promising. Though when it came time to release the first couple of games outside the PlayStation brand, we got a couple of somewhat bland open-world games instead of anything that really showed the true potential of the surprising development. But God of War is here now. It’s not only the best game in its series, but it was one of the best of the last decade, making it a true must play for anyone that hasn’t gotten to experience it yet — even nearly four years after its initial release.
If you’ve never played a God of War game before, this is kind of a soft reboot, so that doesn’t matter. All you need to know is that there’s this demigod named Kratos who became a god by killing the everloving shit out of other gods. No familiarity is required even if bits of...

Krafton’s battle royale, PUBG: Battlegrounds, has finally been made available as a free-to-play game for all. The shooter was originally supposed to enter its new free state a couple of days ago. However, some technical difficulties prevented that. Classic PUBG.
PUBG was one of the first shooters to get the battle royale formula working successfully. It had some golden days, even years, but has now fallen on less popular times. PUBG Corp. could have done a lot more to prevent the game’s decline. But the developer always seemed to focus on unimportant issues and made a series of bizarre decisions. Like the current name, PUBG: Battlegrounds. That stands for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds: Battlegrounds. Okay then.
Free for all
In response to the large decline in player numbers, Krafton believes that making its battle royale free to play will help reinvigorate PUBG. The announcement says that the move will expand the community, reduce matchmaking queue times, and put you barrel-t...
