Even the ones I've enjoyed tend to get old within an hour. Most of the things that get recreated aren't the things I miss about 90s games, and if they were... Doom still exists, you know? So does Blood, and Strife, and Quake was never that good anyway. </p> <p> Extraneum is good, though. I think it's precisely because it's not doing a big song and dance about its influences, although those are very clear. It's not big or brash, nor overly stripped down or obnoxious about difficulty. Clean blasty strafey fun, with a tiniest hint of horror. In an odd way, it's all the more faithful for that. </p> </div> </div> </article> </li> <li> <article class="summary" data-type="article" data-article-type="features" data-premium="true" data-size="default"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/starfields-big-reveal-helped-suppress-my-inner-skeptic" class="link_overlay" title="Starfield's big reveal helped suppress my inner skeptic"></a> <span class="symbol"></span> <div class="thumbnail"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/starfield-journey-through-space-art.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/690x388/format/jpg/quality/80/starfield-journey-through-space-art.jpg" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/starfield-journey-through-space-art.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/690x388/format/jpg/quality/80/starfield-journey-through-space-art.jpg 1x, https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/starfield-journey-through-space-art.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/1380x776/format/jpg/quality/80/starfield-journey-through-space-art.jpg 2x" loading="lazy" class="thumbnail_image" alt="Sci-fi scenes in Starfield art." width="690" height="388"> </div> <div class="wrapper"> <div class="details"> <p class="title"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/starfields-big-reveal-helped-suppress-my-inner-skeptic"> <span class="prefix">Supporters only:</span> Starfield's big reveal helped suppress my inner skeptic </a> </p> <p class="strapline">Can't take me anywhere</p> </div> <div class="metadata"> <span class="author">Ed Thorn</span> <time class="published_at" datetime="2022-06-24 10:00:26.330941+00:00"> 1聽day ago </time> <p class="comments"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/starfields-big-reveal-helped-suppress-my-inner-skeptic#comments"> 8 </a> </p> </div> <div class="excerpt"> <p>We finally got our first glimpse of <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/starfield">Starfield</a> at the Xbox & Bethesda showcase at Summer Geoff Fest, having seen lots of clips of Todd Howard speaking words with devs who nodded across tables.

There were some demos I was meant to play for, like, actual work, and then I ran into a puzzle wall or a bug or something so I just fired up Necrosmith again.</p> <p>Necrosmith is a 2D necromance 'em up that is also sort of a tower defence game. In the middle of the map is your evil lair, the Hall Of Bones, a sort of legally distinct Sauron's tower that gets more flying buttresses the more you upgrade it. If enemies (which can be packs of wolves or flying bugs or all manner of things) do enough damage to destroy it, you lose - so that's your defense bit. For the towers bit, you have to imagine that the towers can move on their own, and also that they're shambling undead monsters made from a jigsaw of different limbs you find, like an army of very unhygenic Mr Potato Heads.</p> </div> </div> </article> </li> <li> <article class="summary" data-type="article" data-article-type="features" data-premium="true" data-size="default"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/musical-puzzler-sonority-blends-the-logical-and-intuitive" class="link_overlay" title="Musical puzzler Sonority blends the logical and intuitive"></a> <span class="symbol"></span> <div class="thumbnail"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/sonority_7.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/690x388/format/jpg/quality/80/sonority_7.jpg" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/sonority_7.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/690x388/format/jpg/quality/80/sonority_7.jpg 1x, https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/sonority_7.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/1380x776/format/jpg/quality/80/sonority_7.jpg 2x" loading="lazy" class="thumbnail_image" alt="Image for Musical puzzler Sonority blends the logical and intuitive" width="690" height="388"> </div> <div class="wrapper"> <div class="details"> <p class="title"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/musical-puzzler-sonority-blends-the-logical-and-intuitive"> <span class="prefix">Supporters only:</span> Musical puzzler Sonority blends the logical and intuitive </a> </p> <p class="strapline">Level scaling</p> </div> <div class="metadata"> <span class="author">Sin Vega</span> <time class="published_at" datetime="2022-06-17 16:17:26.464100+00:00"> 1聽week ago </time> <p class="comments"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/musical-puzzler-sonority-blends-the-logical-and-intuitive#comments"> 1 </a> </p> </div> <div class="excerpt"> <p>Apparently I'm very musical, which will come as a shock to anyone who's heard me sing.

Sorry it’s been so long since I’ve written one of these <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/topics/letter-from-the-editor">Letters From The Editor</a>. Things have been… manic, to say the least. Manic in the traditional ‘busy’ sense (hello Elden Ring, PAX, V Rising and now notE3 planning), but also in the ‘man, there are so many cool things I want to talk to you about but aren’t quite ready to announce yet’ sense. I’ve been on the cusp of writing about these things every single month <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/letter-from-the-editor-07">since, err, March</a>, but then something falls through, the weeks go by, and we’re back to square one again. So I’m sorry about that, I really am. </p> <p>What I’m writing to you about today still isn’t one of those exciting things, unfortunately, but it is nonetheless very important. When we relaunched our RPS Supporter Programme last year, we did so on June 17th, which means its one-year anniversary is just around the corner. It also means that those of you who signed up for our yearly supporter tier will be coming to the end of your subscription soon, and I wanted to explain a little bit about the renewal process as it’s… err, a bit convoluted. Sorry again about that.</p> </div> </div> </article> </li> <li> <article class="summary" data-type="article" data-article-type="features" data-premium="true" data-size="default"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/7-of-the-most-cutest-things-in-little-witch-in-the-woods" class="link_overlay" title="7 of the most cutest things in Little Witch In The Woods"></a> <span class="symbol"></span> <div class="thumbnail"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/little-witch-in-the-woods-header_vzWv2ZP.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/690x388/format/jpg/quality/80/little-witch-in-the-woods-header_vzWv2ZP.jpg" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/little-witch-in-the-woods-header_vzWv2ZP.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/690x388/format/jpg/quality/80/little-witch-in-the-woods-header_vzWv2ZP.jpg 1x, https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/little-witch-in-the-woods-header_vzWv2ZP.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/1380x776/format/jpg/quality/80/little-witch-in-the-woods-header_vzWv2ZP.jpg 2x" loading="lazy" class="thumbnail_image" alt="Image for 7 of the most cutest things in Little Witch In The Woods" width="690" height="388"> </div> <div class="wrapper"> <div class="details"> <p class="title"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/7-of-the-most-cutest-things-in-little-witch-in-the-woods"> <span class="prefix">Supporters only:</span> 7 of the most cutest things in Little Witch In The Woods </a> </p> <p class="strapline">The Ronseal of games</p> </div> <div class="metadata"> <span class="author">Alice Bell</span> <time class="published_at" datetime="2022-05-30 14:30:00+00:00"> 3聽weeks ago </time> <p class="comments"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/7-of-the-most-cutest-things-in-little-witch-in-the-woods#comments"> 7 </a> </p> </div> <div class="excerpt"> <p>Readers may remember my delight over the demo for <a href="/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/little-witch-in-the-woods">Little Witch In The Woods</a>, and I'm happy to report that game is now out in early access. It's already much more polished than the demo, with more yet to come. It's a life sim with a bit of a <a href="/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/stardew-valley">Stardew Valley</a> or Animal Crossing vibe, except instead of farming you are a witch called Ellie (size: small) living in a biome (type: forest).</p> <p>In the story you start to free the nearby village from cursed vines, and this requires that you catalogue and collect ingredients for spells, and thence expand your repertoire of witchy recipes. At the same time you can trade spells and magical candy with locals for currency, which you can use to improve your little machines - a roaster, a caldron, a press for ingredients - to make even better things, more efficiently. It's a satisfying process of mastery and exploration. But that is not the important bit. The important bit is that Little Witch In The Woods is disgustingly adorable.</p> </div> </div> </article> </li> <li> <article class="summary" data-type="article" data-article-type="features" data-premium="true" data-size="default"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/ive-bought-lost-judgment-with-no-intention-of-playing-it" class="link_overlay" title="I've bought Lost Judgment with no intention of playing it"></a> <span class="symbol"></span> <div class="thumbnail"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/lost-judgment.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/690x388/format/jpg/quality/80/lost-judgment.jpg" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/lost-judgment.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/690x388/format/jpg/quality/80/lost-judgment.jpg 1x, https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/lost-judgment.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/1380x776/format/jpg/quality/80/lost-judgment.jpg 2x" loading="lazy" class="thumbnail_image" alt="Image for I've bought Lost Judgment with no intention of playing it" width="690" height="388"> </div> <div class="wrapper"> <div class="details"> <p class="title"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/ive-bought-lost-judgment-with-no-intention-of-playing-it"> <span class="prefix">Supporters only:</span> I've bought Lost Judgment with no intention of playing it </a> </p> <p class="strapline">Well, sort of</p> </div> <div class="metadata"> <span class="author">Ed Thorn</span> <time class="published_at" datetime="2022-05-27 14:30:00+00:00"> 4聽weeks ago </time> <p class="comments"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/ive-bought-lost-judgment-with-no-intention-of-playing-it#comments"> 8 </a> </p> </div> <div class="excerpt"> <p>A while back I finished <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/yakuza-like-a-dragon">Yakuza: Like A Dragon</a> and felt a little bit lost. You know the feeling, right? When you snap shut a piece of fiction you’ve been reading for days, or months even, it can be difficult severing those relationships you’ve built with its characters. Unless there’s a direct sequel, you must pull your pants up and shelve those emotions and move on.</p> <p>Not that I struggle with letting go of characters and stories particularly, but my brain makes an exception for the Yakuza games.

My personal highlight, though, was talking to the Pinny Arcade collectors during the show's official trading event. </p> <p> I’ll admit, before I went to PAX I didn’t really appreciate how big Pinny Arcade <em>was</em>. I’d definitely seen photos of colourful metal pins depicting characters from various video games fly across my screen as I browsed Twitter, but I had never thought much about them beyond that. I was shocked, then, to arrive at PAX and realise just how integral this collectable is to the show. Merch booths sell starter packs, individual demo stations flog game specific rarities and avid fans adorn their lanyards with their favourite pieces. It turns out, Pinny Arcade is <em>huge</em>. </p> </div> </div> </article> </li> <li> <article class="summary" data-type="article" data-article-type="features" data-premium="true" data-size="default"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/mechfights-made-mellow-in-ignited-steel-mech-tactics" class="link_overlay" title="Mechfights made mellow in Ignited Steel: Mech Tactics"></a> <span class="symbol"></span> <div class="thumbnail"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/ignited_steel_2.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/690x388/format/jpg/quality/80/ignited_steel_2.jpg" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/ignited_steel_2.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/690x388/format/jpg/quality/80/ignited_steel_2.jpg 1x, https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/ignited_steel_2.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/1380x776/format/jpg/quality/80/ignited_steel_2.jpg 2x" loading="lazy" class="thumbnail_image" alt="Image for Mechfights made mellow in Ignited Steel: Mech Tactics" width="690" height="388"> </div> <div class="wrapper"> <div class="details"> <p class="title"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/mechfights-made-mellow-in-ignited-steel-mech-tactics"> <span class="prefix">Supporters only:</span> Mechfights made mellow in Ignited Steel: Mech Tactics </a> </p> <p class="strapline">I cannot tell alkali</p> </div> <div class="metadata"> <span class="author">Sin Vega</span> <time class="published_at" datetime="2022-05-13 16:01:27.763923+00:00"> 1聽month ago </time> <p class="comments"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/mechfights-made-mellow-in-ignited-steel-mech-tactics#comments"> 1 </a> </p> </div> <div class="excerpt"> <p>While fads come and go, mech games continue to simmer pleasantly away without ever taking over or going away.

Despite suffering a stroke just a couple of months beforehand, the 85-year-old YouTuber was on fine form during her PAX East panel, speaking to a packed out theatre of fans and viewers who have spent the better part of six years following her various playthroughs through <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim">Skyrim</a> as a multitude of different characters. She talked briefly about her writing and character creation process for her Let's Play-style videos, before spending a whopping 45 minutes answering questions from the audience. These covered everything from her favourite things in Skyrim to her favourite, real-life candy, and also included a surprising number of horror game recommendations. In her own words, she loves stuff that's "weird and creepy", and has recently been looking for something new to play. "I’d really like to play a dark, scary game," she said, and the audience were only too happy to oblige. </p> <p>It was a truly wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon, and as soon as it was over, both Liam and I knew it was too good not to share.

Enjoy!</p> </div> </div> </article> </li> <li> <article class="summary" data-type="article" data-article-type="features" data-premium="true" data-size="default"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rpspax-2022-we-tour-larians-baldurs-gate-3-booth-and-chat-about-its-2023-release-date" class="link_overlay" title="RPS@PAX 2022: We tour Larian's Baldur's Gate 3 booth, and chat about its 2023 release date"></a> <span class="symbol"></span> <div class="thumbnail"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/pax-east-2022-larian_hqNwsSj.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/690x388/format/jpg/quality/80/pax-east-2022-larian_hqNwsSj.jpg" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/pax-east-2022-larian_hqNwsSj.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/690x388/format/jpg/quality/80/pax-east-2022-larian_hqNwsSj.jpg 1x, https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/pax-east-2022-larian_hqNwsSj.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/1380x776/format/jpg/quality/80/pax-east-2022-larian_hqNwsSj.jpg 2x" loading="lazy" class="thumbnail_image" alt="Image for RPS@PAX 2022: We tour Larian's Baldur's Gate 3 booth, and chat about its 2023 release date" width="690" height="388"> </div> <div class="wrapper"> <div class="details"> <p class="title"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rpspax-2022-we-tour-larians-baldurs-gate-3-booth-and-chat-about-its-2023-release-date"> <span class="prefix">Supporters only:</span> RPS@PAX 2022: We tour Larian's Baldur's Gate 3 booth, and chat about its 2023 release date </a> </p> <p class="strapline">Our minds are flayed at the majesty of this walled city</p> </div> <div class="metadata"> <span class="author">Katharine Castle</span> <time class="published_at" datetime="2022-04-24 21:34:32.774140+00:00"> 2聽months ago </time> <p class="comments"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rpspax-2022-we-tour-larians-baldurs-gate-3-booth-and-chat-about-its-2023-release-date#comments"> 2 </a> </p> </div> <div class="excerpt"> <p>Of all the booths at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/topics/pax-east">PAX East</a> 2022 this year, Larian's <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/baldurs-gate-iii">Baldur's Gate III</a> stand was by far one of the most impressive. Not only did they construct an entire walled city to hark back to its iconic, titular location, but they also had an enormous Nautiloid crashed into the top of it. There was a Mindflayer statue on hand as well, for fans to pose with next to their official cosplayers, and a little campfire for attendees to have a small sit down on, just like they'd do when resting in the game. It was such an incredible booth that we asked Larian to give us a tour of it, and while we did so we also took the opportunity to chat a bit about the reception of Update 7, the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/baldurs-gate-3-will-launch-out-of-early-access-in-2023">confirmation of its 2023 release date</a> and more. </p> </div> </div> </article> </li> <li> <article class="summary" data-type="article" data-article-type="features" data-premium="true" data-size="default"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rpspax-2022-saturday-daily-round-up" class="link_overlay" title="RPS@PAX 2022: Saturday daily round-up"></a> <span class="symbol"></span> <div class="thumbnail"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/pax-east-2022-skyrim-grandma1.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/690x388/format/jpg/quality/80/pax-east-2022-skyrim-grandma1.jpg" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/pax-east-2022-skyrim-grandma1.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/690x388/format/jpg/quality/80/pax-east-2022-skyrim-grandma1.jpg 1x, https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/pax-east-2022-skyrim-grandma1.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/1380x776/format/jpg/quality/80/pax-east-2022-skyrim-grandma1.jpg 2x" loading="lazy" class="thumbnail_image" alt="Image for RPS@PAX 2022: Saturday daily round-up" width="690" height="388"> </div> <div class="wrapper"> <div class="details"> <p class="title"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rpspax-2022-saturday-daily-round-up"> <span class="prefix">Supporters only:</span> RPS@PAX 2022: Saturday daily round-up </a> </p> <p class="strapline">Indie games galore, and hanging out with Skyrim Grandma</p> </div> <div class="metadata"> <span class="author">Katharine Castle</span> <time class="published_at" datetime="2022-04-24 04:02:46.235840+00:00"> 2聽months ago </time> <p class="comments"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rpspax-2022-saturday-daily-round-up#comments"> 4 </a> </p> </div> <div class="excerpt"> <p>Day Three of <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/topics/pax-east">PAX East</a> 2022 is done and dusted for another year, which means it's time for another daily round-up video. We had another jam-packed schedule today, checking out Dome Keeper (formerly known as Ludum Dare darling <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://bippinbits.itch.io/dome-romantik">Dome Romantik</a>) over on the Raw Fury booth, before heading over to the PAX Rising Showcase to check out a specially curated selection of upcoming indie games.

Now, everyone's favourite bomb disposal expert is back in McPixel 3 (solo developer Sos Sosowski prefers we never mention the likes of McPixel 2), which we got to see in action over at the Devolver booth at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/topics/pax-east">PAX East</a> 2022. Sosowski took the reins for us in this demo, showing us exactly how <em>not</em> to save the world in this equally comedic sequel, proving that the McPixel formula is still just as potent ten years on from the original. </p> </div> </div> </article> </li> <li> <article class="summary" data-type="article" data-article-type="features" data-premium="true" data-size="default"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rps-at-pax-2022-the-evolution-of-pc-hardware-modding" class="link_overlay" title="RPS@PAX 2022: The evolution of PC hardware modding"></a> <span class="symbol"></span> <div class="thumbnail"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/rps%40pax-2022_-the-evolution-of-pc-hardware-modding-thumbnail-1.jfif/BROK/thumbnail/690x388/format/jpg/quality/80/rps%40pax-2022_-the-evolution-of-pc-hardware-modding-thumbnail-1.jfif" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/rps%40pax-2022_-the-evolution-of-pc-hardware-modding-thumbnail-1.jfif/BROK/thumbnail/690x388/format/jpg/quality/80/rps%40pax-2022_-the-evolution-of-pc-hardware-modding-thumbnail-1.jfif 1x, https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/rps%40pax-2022_-the-evolution-of-pc-hardware-modding-thumbnail-1.jfif/BROK/thumbnail/1380x776/format/jpg/quality/80/rps%40pax-2022_-the-evolution-of-pc-hardware-modding-thumbnail-1.jfif 2x" loading="lazy" class="thumbnail_image" alt="Image for RPS@PAX 2022: The evolution of PC hardware modding" width="690" height="388"> </div> <div class="wrapper"> <div class="details"> <p class="title"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rps-at-pax-2022-the-evolution-of-pc-hardware-modding"> <span class="prefix">Supporters only:</span> RPS@PAX 2022: The evolution of PC hardware modding </a> </p> <p class="strapline">We chat with panel moderator Isa茂e "Trouffman" Simonnet about the past, present and future of the hardware modding community</p> </div> <div class="metadata"> <span class="author">Katharine Castle</span> <time class="published_at" datetime="2022-04-24 00:16:01.963860+00:00"> 2聽months ago </time> <p class="comments"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rps-at-pax-2022-the-evolution-of-pc-hardware-modding#comments"> 2 </a> </p> </div> <div class="excerpt"> <p>PC hardare modding is never something I had the guts to try during my time in the RPS hardware mines, but after attending The Evolution Of PC Modding panel at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/topics/pax-east">PAX East</a> this week, I wish I'd been a little bolder. Moderated by Overclocking-TV.com's Isaïe "Trouffman" Simonnet with special guests Joe Gialanella from ModMyMods, Eric "hobbseltoff" Hobbs from PC Modding Enthusiast, and Justin "Robeytech" Robey, these four experts took us through the history of PC modding over the last 15 years, the highs and lows of some of their very own builds, and what lies in store for PC modding going forward. It was a fascinating panel, and we caught up with Simonnet afterwards to try and recapture some of that excellent hardware chat for you folks at home. </p> </div> </div> </article> </li> <li> <article class="summary" data-type="article" data-article-type="features" data-premium="true" data-size="default"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rpspax-2022-friday-daily-round-up" class="link_overlay" title="RPS@PAX 2022: Friday daily round-up"></a> <span class="symbol"></span> <div class="thumbnail"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/pax-east-2022-showfloor-tinyuild.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/690x388/format/jpg/quality/80/pax-east-2022-showfloor-tinyuild.jpg" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/pax-east-2022-showfloor-tinyuild.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/690x388/format/jpg/quality/80/pax-east-2022-showfloor-tinyuild.jpg 1x, https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/pax-east-2022-showfloor-tinyuild.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/1380x776/format/jpg/quality/80/pax-east-2022-showfloor-tinyuild.jpg 2x" loading="lazy" class="thumbnail_image" alt="Image for RPS@PAX 2022: Friday daily round-up" width="690" height="388"> </div> <div class="wrapper"> <div class="details"> <p class="title"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rpspax-2022-friday-daily-round-up"> <span class="prefix">Supporters only:</span> RPS@PAX 2022: Friday daily round-up </a> </p> <p class="strapline">Games!

Instead of plonking ourselves in the middle of the empty show floor after hours, we snuck back into Devolver's booth to film our Friday catch-up, where we started our day some 10 hours beforehand. We got the lowdown on McPixel 3 from solo dev Sos Sosowski, and marvelled once again at the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rpspax-2022-the-best-and-most-cursed-things-we-saw-on-the-show-floor">lovely overgrown arcade cabinets</a> of reverse citybuilder Terra Nil. We then moved over to the Focus stand to play supernatural cowboy slayer <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220625114339/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/evil-west">Evil West</a> and the ultra fast FPS Warstride Challenges. We also stopped by the Pinny Arcade communtiy meet-up today, and sat in on a couple of panels, including one about the history of PC hardware modding and a Wordle Royale.
