The Best Puzzle Tables and Boards for the Ultimate Puzzle Station

Image
As avid puzzlers know full well, the humble jigsaw puzzle is a thing of beauty in multiple ways. Not only are jigsaws an absorbing time sink, but multiple studies have demonstrated they are good for you both mentally and physically. As you fit the pieces into place, they can be enjoyed alone or as a communal activity, and remain to be a fun hobby for all ages. Plus, when you’re finished, you’re often left with a delightful piece of art and sense of accomplishment. The only downside to puzzles is they can take up a surprising amount of space, especially puzzles with 1000+ pieces. If you get into working on bigger puzzles , they can eat up your dining room table, coffee table or desk space for long stretches of time. This is why many jigsaw fans have a dedicated puzzle-solving table or board these days, often equipped with useful accessories. You have foldable and portable options, multi-purpose tables (for playing cards and the like), and ones with drawers to organize the pieces as ...

Where to Buy Riftbound: League of Legends Starter Sets, Booster Boxes, and More

Image
League of Legends is getting another TCG, except this one is a physical card game. Riot’s been making a big deal out of Riftbound since it was announced, and now that the game’s first set, Origins, is here, it’s been flying off shelves. That makes it tricky to pick products up for its usual price , so be sure to skip aggressively marked-up offerings - we’re expecting that Riot is working to stock retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy as quickly as it can. For now, it's only available directly through Riot (when in stock, and with around a $20 shipping fee), or via trusted resale sites like TCGPlayer. Still, what should you buy? Where do you start? While we won’t be explaining how to play Riftbound in this guide, we will be covering everything you need to play. Why the Riftbound price hikes? Sadly, as the first set of Riot’s first card game hits shelves, it’s being snapped up by scalpers and put on the secondary market. It’s a standard practice in TCGs, but Riot is ...

'It Never Quite Came Together, and It Was Never Finished' — Rockstar Co-Founder Dan Houser Discusses Canceled GTA 5 Single-Player Trevor DLC for First Time

Image
Grand Theft Auto fans have known for some time that Rockstar Games worked on a single-player DLC for GTA 5 that would have seen Trevor assume the role of a secret agent. Last year, voice actor Steven Ogg said Rockstar originally planned to make a story expansion focused on his character, Trevor , with it thought to have fallen by the wayside as the developer focused on the cash cow that was GTA Online. Ogg was joined by Michael actor Ned Luke and Franklin actor Shawn Fonteno in a Questions and Answers session with Streamily . The trio shed light on what they claimed was scrapped downloadable content for GTA 5 that starred Trevor as a Federal Investigation Bureau agent. "Originally they were gonna do continuing stories of Michael, Franklin, and Trevor," Luke said, and Ogg expanded on his version. "We also had that really cool s**t of — and I forget if it was DLC, I have no idea — but where Trevor was gonna be undercover, he works for the FEDs," Ogg said. "A...

Nintendo Raises Hardware Forecast as Switch 2 Sales Hit 10.36 Million, Continuing Streak as the Biggest Console Launch of All Time

Image
Nintendo Switch 2 has sold an astonishing 10.36 million units in six months, a record-breaking amount that sees the platform continue its run as the biggest console launch ever. In its latest financial results, published this morning, Nintendo raised its hardware forecast for the year in response to the Switch 2's spectacular performance. It now expects to shift 19 million units of its new console before the end of March 2026. To put Switch 2's success into perspective, Nintendo has doubled the launch sales of Switch 1 (which sold 4.7 million units in its first six months back in 2017) and is also well ahead of the PlayStation 5's own impressive arrival (which sold 7.8 million units back in November 2020, though was limited by stock availability). Mario Kart World , the Switch 2's flagship launch game, has now sold 9.57 million copies, with 8.1 million units of that total from the console's bundle. (So yes, more than a million people paid $80 to buy it separa...

Image
Keanu Reeves would love to play Johnny Silverhand again, but how can he given the events of Cyberpunk 2077? It turns out Cyberpunk creator Mike Pondsmith has worked out a way to make it make sense, and has told the much-loved actor: “contact me.” In September, speaking with IGN while promoting his movie Good Fortune, Keanu Reeves said that he wanted to be part of the sequel to CD Projekt's 2020 game . “Absolutely. I’d love to play Johnny Silverhand again," Reeves said when asked if he’d be interested in revisiting his legendary rockstar terrorist character in Cyberpunk 2. Reeves's love-affair with the Cyberpunk community began with his viral "you're breathtaking" moment at E3 2019. Reeves, on-stage to announce the release date of Cyberpunk 2077, was interrupted by a fan who shouted out "you're breathtaking!" Reeves' response was to double-down with his own "you're breathtaking... you're all breathtaking!" Cue wholesome...

'You Needed Guns, You Needed These Larger-Than-Life Characters' — Rockstar Co-Founder Dan Houser Explains Why Grand Theft Auto Won't Leave the United States

Image
Former Rockstar boss Dan Houser has explained why the Grand Theft Auto series won’t leave the United States in terms of its setting. Speaking on the Lex Fridman podcast , Rockstar co-founder and former lead writer Houser said that — GTA London apart — Grand Theft Auto remained firmly rooted in the United States because it leans so heavily on Americana. “We made a little thing in London 26 years ago — GTA London — for the top-down for PS1. That was pretty cute and fun, as the first mission pack ever for PlayStation 1. I think for a full GTA game, we always decided there was so much Americana inherent in the IP, it would be really hard to make it work in London or anywhere else. “You know, you needed guns, you needed these larger-than-life characters. It just felt like the game was so much about America, possibly from an outsider's perspective. But that was so much about what the thing was that it wouldn't really have worked in the same way elsewhere.” It’s a trend that’s ...
