I love a good fantasy RPG. Be it the dirty streets of Dragon Age: Origins' Ferelden, or the sprawling emerald plains of World of Warcraft's Elywnn Forest, there's nothing quite like immersing yourself in a universe brimming with magic, mayhem, and endless possibility. For many, RuneScape is that universe, which is why it still manages to stand tall amid a slew of competitor MMORPGs 23 years down the line. But we wouldn't have RuneScape if not for Andrew Gower, its original creator, and he's back with a brand new point-and-click RPG called Brighter Shores.

Less than a month after it launched, Amazon Games has nerfed the XP rewards of New World Aeternum’s new PvP zone, The Cursed Mists. The area arrived as part of the MMO’s recent revamp, and it presents players with an extraction-like gameplay loop with unique loot and XP available for playing. Amazon says the zone was giving players “more PvP experience than intended,” with the rewards now brought back down.

Nvidia is planning to take on Intel and AMD with a new CPU designed for use in consumer PCs, according to a report. The move could see the gaming GPU maker challenge the domination of Intel and AMD in the PC world, particularly when it comes to laptops and AI, but the company’s lack of an x86 license will present a challenge when it comes to this rumored Nvidia CPU running PC games and the PC’s expansive software back catalog. Not only does Nvidia make the best graphics card for gaming right now, in the form of the RTX 4090, but it’s now also the world’s most valuable company, thanks to its huge strides in the AI world. We’re expecting the new RTX 5000 gaming GPU lineup to launch in the near future, but it looks as though Nvidia could also be launching a new CPU range in 2025 as well.

Election Night Highlights: the Fun, the Joy, and the Meltdowns by the Media

Photo: Allison Johnson / The Verge The European Commission has opened a formal investigation into Corning to determine whether it has broken antitrust rules with its dominant Gorilla Glass product. Corning’s Alkali-aluminosilicate glass is used to protect most of the top phones and tablets, with both Samsung and Apple using it extensively across their range of devices. The EU is concerned that Corning has used a variety of exclusivity contracts to exclude rival glass makers from the phone market. “It is very frustrating and costly experience to break a mobile phone screen. Therefore, strong competition in the production of the cover glass used to protect such devices is crucial to ensure low prices and high-quality glass,” says outgoing EU competition chief Margrethe...

The DJI Goggles N3 headset, DJI Neo drone, and RC Motion 3 controller. | Photo: The Verge I’m hoping DJI’s affordable new FPV goggles will be the missing puzzle piece — a way to cheaply buy the “It feels like I’m flying!” experience I had with the DJI Avata for maybe $400 or $500 tops, rather than the current $800 to $1,000 you might have to pay. See, the company announced its budget $199 Neo drone in September that works with goggles, and today it’s announcing the $229 DJI Goggles N3. Add a $99 RC Motion 3 controller and you get airplane-like flight, with first-person video that puts you in the virtual cockpit. But I can’t quite confirm that it’s worth your money yet — because DJI says my unit likely shipped with a defect, and I’ll need a little more testing time. More on that below. At $229, the Goggles N3 are definitely... Continue reading…
