Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout screenshot

Why someone would cheat in a light-hearted game about jelly beans throwing themselves down obstacle courses is beyond me. Yet, Fall Guys seems to be rife with these losers. If you’ve not seen it yourself, some players have felt the need to use cheats in the colourful battle royale that allow them to fly over levels to nab themselves a cheap win.

Mediatonic have already been banning cheaters for a while, but now they’ve figured out that disabling Steam Family Sharing stops some of those bad beans from coming back.

A photo of two Corsair Vengeance LPX RAM sticks inside a PC.

Newegg and Amazon US are going head to head on RAM deals today. While Amazon have a couple of 24-hour deals on HyperX, Crucial and Corsair sets, Newegg have shaved 10% off all> their DDR4 kits, many of which beat the prices you can find on Amazon. The best RAM deal of the bunch is almost certainly a 16GB (2x 8GB) Corsair Vengeance LPX set clocked at 3200MHz, which can be had for as little as $54 with the aforementioned 10% promo code, but there are plenty more to choose from, too. Read on for my pick of the bunch.
