At Huaqiangbei, Shenzhen's largest electronics market, vendors abandoned fixed price tags this summer: the final price gets quoted on the spot, and price sheets get updated several times a day. The reason is that the cost of memory, storage, and graphics cards in China is rising faster than stores can reprint their paperwork. For a gamer planning to upgrade or build a new PC, the situation has turned ugly: everything that can't be cut from a build has gotten more expensive at once — RAM and SSDs. Chinese reviewers argue that building your own PC has lost its main advantage in the process, and now often ends up costing more than buying a prebuilt system with the same specs.

Dominus Automa will be playable in a Steam playtest from Friday, August 7, until Sunday, August 23, giving Metashift Labs a chance to show off its automated MMORPG pitch for busy adults. The Steam page is already live for sign-ups.

Metashift Labs says the game is meant for busy adults who still like online games but cannot sink entire evenings into them. Instead of demanding constant manual grinding, Dominus Automa lets players set the direction and then step back while their hero keeps progressing on the server.

A leaked prototype build of Sleeping Dogs, dated November 15, 2011, has surfaced online — nearly nine months before the game's actual release. The Xbox 360 prototype was pulled from a debug console and uploaded to the web, and YouTuber GrandTheftAero dedicated a half-hour video to breaking it down. The build's state reflects how early it is: some cutscenes are replaced with placeholders and static drawings, audio isn't mixed, and certain districts of Hong Kong remain in a rough, unfinished state.

Motorola has unveiled the Moto Pad 70 — a large tablet the manufacturer calls the thinnest 5G device in its segment. With a 12.1-inch screen, the body measures 6.49mm thick and weighs 530 grams, yet it still fits a 10,200mAh battery inside. The Moto Pen stylus sits right in the box, with no extra charge on either version.

Simon McQuoid, who directed both entries in the Mortal Kombat reboot, won't say whether he'll take the director's chair a third time. In his words, it's too early to announce anything officially: the studio is waiting for the film to fully run its lifecycle — theatrical, digital sales, discs and streaming. He isn't closing the door on the franchise, though, and offers no outright refusal.

Sega has posted the results of the first quarter of its fiscal year, and the company's leading franchise turned out to be not the most obvious one. From April to June 2026, games in the Persona series sold 1.04 million copies, while Sonic stopped at 980,000. Third place went to the Like a Dragon series, previously known as Yakuza, together with its Judgment spin-offs — over 670,000 copies between them, while Total War rounded out the top four with 370,000.

TrashBench's latest cooling stunt used a GeForce RTX 2060 with no waterblock at all, sending water straight onto the exposed GPU die. The setup was tested in Unigine Heaven, where it cut the card's temperature to 28°C and left the hotspot at 41°C.

For comparison, TrashBench also tried a 360mm AIO on the same GPU first, and that setup held the card at 36°C. In other words, the direct-water approach beat a full liquid cooler by about 8 degrees, at least in this specific test.

**Steam has a page that collects every current free deal the store has to offer all in one place — permanent giveaways and temporary free access to paid games alike. It's just an ordinary catalog search with the right filters applied; most people simply never think to combine them that way. Worth bookmarking: the link updates itself automatically, so checking for new deals takes one click, no waiting for news posts.**

Slant's browser port lets Portal 2 run directly in a web browser, and the classic Valve puzzle game is available without third-party launchers, cloud services, or a full game download. The project went live on August 8.

Built on Emscripten, WebGL, and WebAssembly, the port uses a separate canvas for 3D rendering so it behaves like a full web app rather than a simple page with embedded video. The result is a version of Portal 2 that launches in-browser and keeps the original feel intact.

Lies of P was made by a team then known as Team Nough within Korea's Round8 Studio — today it operates as an independent studio, NOUGH Studio, under Neowiz, and is now working on a sequel. The name changed, but the habits stuck around. One of them is called Game Days: work gets set aside, and every employee picks up a controller to play through their own game — not to test it, but to actually play it, stepping into the shoes of an ordinary customer. It was exactly these days that decided the fate of the difficulty settings — something soulslike fans had long considered something close to sacrilege.

Buying an RTX 5090 as a standalone product at Taiwanese retailer PC Home is no longer possible. The seller has put together several bundles, and in each one, NVIDIA's flagship comes loaded down with a pile of components buyers almost certainly don't need. The most absurd option looks like this: an ASUS ProArt GeForce RTX 5090 OC plus four ASUS Dual Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics cards. Want the top NVIDIA card? You're taking home four AMD cards as a bonus, for around $7,720.

The first feature film set in the Game of Thrones universe has moved forward just enough to make one thing clear: it isn't coming anytime soon. In its second-quarter shareholder letter, Warner Bros. Discovery listed out projects planned for "beyond 2027," and "Aegon's Conquest" made that list — right alongside a new Matrix film, another Batman movie, and a live-action Jetsons film starring Jim Carrey. The wording couldn't be vaguer: the studio didn't name a year, a quarter, or even a season.

For a full year, Reddit user Prudent_Echidna1254 was at war with his own graphics card. The RTX 4090 regularly dropped the system into a blue screen, froze solid, smeared the picture with artifacts, and threw PCIe bus errors. Over that stretch he sent it in for warranty service four separate times, and each time got back a card that eventually started behaving exactly the same way.

A furnished living room has been built into a billboard above Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, with a real person moved in. Thirty feet above the traffic there's a lounge chair, a table and books, curtains and potted plants in the windows, and inside it all sits a performer hired by Netflix to promote its new film The Last House. He moved in on Thursday, August 6, and will stay through Sunday — meaning right now he's still living there in full view of the entire city.
