An image showing artwork for three games in Humble's Fall VR bundle: The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners, Zero Caliber and I Expect You To Die.

With the launch of the Oculus Quest 2 last month, I’ve been rediscovering a lot of great VR games lately, including the surprisingly gory The Walking Dead: Saints And Sinners, the thrilling spy puzzles of RPS favourite I Expect You To Die and loads more. There are still lots more holes that need plugging in my VR library, though, and happily Humble have rounded up a bunch of them in their new Fall VR Bundle. Saints And Sinners and I Expect You To Die both feature, as do Survios’ Raw Data, and Tripwire Interactive’s Killing Floor Incursion to name just a few. Here’s how it works.

The many character skins you can use in Roblox.

I was today years old when I learned that the “oof” noise I hear in so many memes and videos is, in fact, the Roblox death noise. The famous sound clip has hit headlines over the last few days because it managed to get caught up in a copyright dispute.

Turns out that specific “oof” belongs to a sound designer who originally created the noise for the noughties game Messiah. Now, the Roblox Corporation plan on charging for the noise. Oof.

A close-up of the PlayStation 5's dust catcher holes, where you can suck out dust with a vacuum.

Ever since Sony released their PlayStation 5 teardown video last month showing the inner workings of their latest console box, I’ve been asking myself one question: why don’t more PCs have PS5-style dust catcher holes for easy vacuuming? I know a lot of PC cases have detachable dust filters and the like these days for helping to keep our machines dust-free, but as anyone who’s ever tried to clean their PC recently will know, these plastic meshes still end up shooting gunge everywhere as soon as you try and remove it, and are generally a right pain in the arse. The PS5’s dust catchers, however, seem like the dream solution. Stick your vacuum next to the dust catcher, and bosh. Job done. More of this on PC please!

Twitch has been going through some major music copyright drama over the last few months, being hit with an onslaught of DMCA takedown notifications. In October, this culminated in the streaming platform straight up deleting streamers’ clips and videos that had used copyrighted music without permission. Twitch didn’t even warn the streamers affected beforehand, only letting them know after with a pretty generic email.

In a blog post published yesterday, Twitch apologised for the way they’ve been handling the situation, and explained plans to develop tools for streamers to better deal with copyright claims in the future.
