Drink More Glurp

is a game about aliens who simply do not understand the Olympics. They think that it’s all about paid sponsorships, and as a result, their sponsors have weirded-up all the events, making it so these poor aliens have to deal with increasingly bizarre competitions. Now, when I say aliens I mean you, because they’re who you play as in this quirky party game. It’s no small fry sports competition either, ‘cos you can play it locally with up to 20 people. 20!

Gaming laptops are expensive at the best of times, especially if you want one with a decent graphics chip inside it and isn’t the size of a small vehicle. Happily, Newegg have chopped a massive $450 off Asus’ ROG Strix Hero III laptop today, taking this normally $2000 gaming machine down to a much more appealing $1550. That’s still a sizeable amount of cash, of course, but you do get an RTX 2070 graphics chip inside it, a Core i7 processor, a 144Hz display and a 512GB SSD.

What makeths a man? The finest minds of our generation have already pitted their wits against this most fundamental of questions, and you may (fairly!) scoff at any newcomer with the audacity to trample over established wisdom with his own. Nevertheless, that is exactly what I shall now endeavor to do, for I believe I have access to a vital cultural artifact my predecessors were temporally denied. As the enlightened among you will already know, it is our inestimable joy and good fortune to be born into the same epoch as Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout, a battle royale game about squidgy jelly beans completing obstacle courses.

I believe this provides a lens through which our assumptions can, nay, must> be overturned. Ask not what maketh a man. Ask what maketh a Fall Guy.

Assault Rifles

are by far the most versatile and numerous weapons class in Call Of Duty: Warzone. They are reliable, effective at any range, and the backbone of the vast majority of Warzone loadouts out there.

Below we’ll go through each Assault Rifle from best to worst in the current meta, and explain everything you need to know about how to use (or whether to avoid) each one.

There are some damn fine specimens of the SMG weapon class in Warzone, aren’t there? Built for speed both in their handling and how quickly they can drop an enemy to the ground, SMGs have always been very nearly as popular as Assault Rifles when it comes to premade Warzone loadouts.

Our Best SMG in Warzone guide will walk you through the stats of all the SMGs on offer in Season 5, before divulging our personal take on the very best and very worst SMGs that Modern Warfare has to offer.

Sniper Rifles dominate Call Of Duty: Warzone and its sprawling, rooftop-dotted landscape. They always have, and they always will, thanks to the invaluable trait that a single headshot from a bolt-action Sniper Rifle is a guaranteed kill. So the question is: which sniper rifle do you use for that perfect headshot?

Our Best Sniper in Warzone guide will walk you through the four snipers on offer in Season 5 of Warzone. We’ll go over the stats of each one, before talking about how each sniper stacks against the others.

In what might be considered an unsurprising move, Ninja was back on Twitch yesterday – if only for a brief couple of hours. He played a bit of Fortnite‘s new Joyride update with Dr Lupo in his first stream on the platform since he left for Microsoft’s now-dead Mixer last year. The popular lad had managed to rack up 100,000 viewers when I caught part of the stream early on yesterday, so his audience is clearly still there, though it doesn’t seem like he’ll be pledging himself to Twitch again just yet.

While Marksman Rifles were always extremely potent weapons in Modern Warfare, in Warzone they’ve historically been outclassed by the bulkier and harder-hitting sniper rifles. But despite their relatively lowly standing in the current meta, there’s still a lot of fun to be had with these rifles.

Our Best Marksman Rifle in Warzone guide, as you might expect, is here to catch you up on the standing of each DMR in the current meta. We’ll walk you through stats, attachments, and more in our attempt to rank each Marksman Rifle from best to worst in Season 5 of Warzone.

If you’ve been hankering for some more Dark Souls-like action after playing Mortal Shell‘s free open beta last month, you won’t have to wait much longer, as developers Cold Symmetry have confirmed it’s coming out in full on August 18th. This action-RPG is the very first game from Cold Symmetry, and it is truly a love letter to all things Soulsborne – gothic settings, huge freaky enemies and brilliantly bulky weapons with which to whack them with. I’m sold, tbh.
