An indie parkour game is blowing up among sport fans and genre enthusiasts-
A recent Steam release from a solo indie developer has really taken off, racking up nearly a thousand overwhelmingly positive reviews since it released into early access on May 21. Rooftops & Alleys: The Parkour Game is a sport game focused entirely on the experience of parkour and freerunning—which is to say it’s not also a shooter or a game about stabby people in hoods.
Rooftops & Alleys combines the discipline of parkour, letting you hop around and explore to try tricks and chase challenging tricks, with the more competitive practice of freerunning, serving up medal-scored time trials and trick challenges to chase on its maps. It’s also a proper multi-button game, requiring you to use controls to leap, land, sprint, mantle, and vault. Per the developer there’s “no…
Best Mini-ITX motherboards in 2024- My pick from all the mini mobo marvels I’ve tested
Fans of small form factor PCs are a dedicated bunch, with the best Mini-ITX motherboards being the absolute superstars of each build. And it’s easy to understand why. A mini PC just has an innate aesthetic appeal about it, but with the latest boards it’s possible to achieve all the performance of a much larger build.
The best Mini-ITX board of all is the Asus ROG Strix X670E-I Gaming WiFi. An AMD AM5-compatible motherboard that will pair nicely with one of the best CPUs for gaming. It’s closely followed by the very similar Asus ROG Strix Z790-I Gaming WiFi which stands out as the best Mini-ITX board for an Intel system.
Not everyone needs such high end motherboards though, and there are plenty of more affordable options. The ASRock B760I Lightning WiFi is a clear standout …

Diablo 4 gems will be moved out of the inventory-
“Pleas give us a gem pouch,” pleads a highly-upvoted Diablo 4 subreddit post from January, and a gem pouch we will get.
During the first Diablo 4 Campfire Chat stream today, game director Joe Shely acknowledged that Diablo 4 gems, which can be refined and slotted into gear as upgrades, cause “inventory tension”—they take up a lot of space, more or less—and said that they will be removed from the inventory in a future update.
“The idea is to change the way you acquire gems so that they show up in your materials or currency tab, rather than your inventory,” said Shely. “And then the way that will work is you go to craft your gem in the same way that you do today, and you just use a certain amount of that material, similar to the amount of equivalent, actual g…
Bans for 46 players in cheating case hit Dota 2 esports, including 21 lifetime bans-
46 players have been banned from Dota 2 Esports events, seemingly resulting from an investigation following allegations of cheating in January’s Chinese regional Winter Tour of the Dota Pro Circuit (DPC). The list includes the entirety of the team Knights, which was accused of using a vision hack to cheat their way to a third-place finish in the DPC matches.
That finish qualified Knights for $27,000 and a spot in the recent Lima Major. Knights’ performance once there was notoriously poor, however, absolutely bombing with a 1-15 record in that tournament.
Knights had rebranded as “Antarctic Penguins” just after their appearance in Lima, dropping most of its old roster, though all of its new roster was included in the ban list. Antarctic Penguins technically retains a sl…
A new Witcher comic series spoils Geralt’s retirement with a Western-styled ‘homage to Andrzej Sapkowski, Clint Eastwood, and Sergio Leone’-
There’s a minor spoiler here, so click away if you’re still waiting to see how Geralt’s saga wraps up in CD Projekt’s The Witcher trilogy.
Last chance here!
Okay: Geralt finally achieves his happy ending at the conclusion of the excellent Witcher 3 expansion Blood and Wine: Wealth, wine, and the woman he loves, in the happy, relatively strife-free kingdom of Toussaint. But all of that faces peril in a new comic series announced by Dark Horse, The Witcher: Corvo Bianco, that promises “a Western in the Witcher world.”
Corvo Bianco is the name of a once-famed vineyard in Toussaint that Geralt inherits as part of his payment for ridding the kingdom of a vampire infestation. Its best days are behind it when he takes possession, but through extensive renovations and upgrades…
It’s official- International Olympic Committee votes to confirm the first Olympic Esports Games will happen in 2025, even if they don’t know the games yet
Recently the International Olympic Committee joined up with the National Olympic Committee of Saudi Arabia to announce the first-ever Olympic Esports Games, set to be held in 2025. Now it’s been made official, following a unanimous vote in favour by the IOC’s executive board: a bit like that meme where Obama’s giving himself a medal.
The Olympic Esports Games are planned for an initial run of 12 years, with events held “regularly”, and IOC President Thomas Bach says this shows the IOC “keeping up with the pace of the digital revolution.” He goes on to say that “the NOC of Saudi Arabia will bring great—if not unique—experience in the field of esports to this project. This partnership is based on the Olympic Charter and the Olympic values.” More on which …
