We’re always on the lookout for deals on the best SSDs for gaming, and after extolling the virtues of the Samsung 990 Pro earlier this year, the 4TB version is down to its lowest price of 2025 at Amazon.
Hello all! And a very happy This Week to you. I'm back from break just in time for Gamescom. Gamescom! *Broadway overture kicks in* A time of booths and blaggardry! Of queues and carousing! Of flinching away from cosplayers promising Free Hugs! Of getting caught in a human logjam between the major exhibition halls and the lavatories! Of miniature walled villages operated by triple-A publishers, hosting their own local culture of finger food! Of strung-out crypto investors filling the alcoves with their musical cries of "DOGECOIN FOR SALE, DOGECOIN FOR SALE!" Of waifu bodypillows and army recruiters! Of finding the event's secret best game tucked away among the b2b stands! Of long walks back to the hotel across the bridge of locks, wondering how it ever came to this!
Hello reader who is also a reader, and welcome back to Booked For The Week - our regular Sunday chat with a selection of cool industry folks about books! That's two weeks in a row now, which I've decided is enough for me to not have to caveat or lampshade the word 'regular', except obviously in this specific instance. We are back 4eva, in the Blakean Infinite sense, which is my favourite reference for making my fecklessness seem profound.
Sundays are for realising that it's been years since you looked behind your wardrobe. You gently lean the unwieldy thing away from the wall, centuries worth of grey-faced dust kings cursing at you as they're unseated from the thrones upon which they've stocially squatted since the last great cleansing. Oh, there he is. It's Adrian Edmondson. You ask him if he still considers himself a young one in spirit. He bellows at you to call an ambulance. You gently manoueuvre the wardrobe back into place.
Another week has fallen into the Maw. Theoretically, that means we're now one week closer to the release of Silksong. As if such words mean anything to any of us anymore.
Here's what we're all playing this weekend instead!
If you’re a newcomer to PC gaming (maybe you picked up our Lenovo deal we spotted earlier in the week), you’ll know there are a dizzying number of options for monitors.
Look, the RTX 5090 is the most powerful offering from NVIDIA right now, but it won’t be for everyone.
