Golf Clash to tee off with PGA Tour courses in EA Games partnership

Image
Iconic golf courses like TPC Sawgrass are coming to mobile, thanks to a new Golf Clash PGA Tour partnership bringing the world of professional putting and driving to life. The new agreement, also involving PGA Tour partner EA Games, is set to bring not only some of the most famous courses but the much-anticipated competitions too, starting out with The Players tournament. While Golf Clash is a popular enough title already, with over 100 million lifetime downloads, the new deal with the PGA Tour and EA promises to put a spotlight on the casual golf game once again. I say casual, things are probably going to start getting a lot less casual with the introduction of tournaments like The Players at TPC Sawgrass, but with special in-game rewards on the line, it’s well worth testing yourself by teeing off against the rest. If you want to take part in the inaugural Golf Clash PGA Tour event, The Players tournament takes place on March 9-10, with those talented enough to advance com

reMarkable launches a gorgeous, if expensive, Type Folio for its e-paper tablet

Image
I’ve always thought the folks at reMarkable were missing a trick by not offering a keyboard for their e-paper tablet. I’m a fan of portable, distraction-reducing writing machines, and when my brain gets too cluttered, I go stand by my window with a keyboard-equipped iPad in front of me. reMarkable’s community has already found ways to jerry-rig a keyboard to the machine, but I’d much prefer to get a finished package than something knocked together on the fly. So I was excited to learn that the company is now launching its own keyboard, stand and cover accessory in the form of the Type Folio . It’s the company’s take on the cover-stand-keyboard unit offered for pretty much every other tablet on the market. But it’s also blessed with its own quirks, designed to ensure that it won’t ruin the skinny silhouette of the existing hardware. For the uninitiated, reMarkable 2 is an e-paper tablet promising paper-like responsiveness, letting you read, amend and write documents with

It’s The End Of The Line For Revived Witch

Image
Gacha RPG Revived Witch is bowing out and closing its servers on May 7th. This was all confirmed by a post on the official Twitter yesterday. The download portals have closed, though existing players will be able to play up to shutdown day. Those players sticking around will receive some extra items every week during the remainder of the time they have. You Can Get Your Money Back The Revived Witch Team also confirmed that any diamonds purchased can be refunded, which is more than Apex Legends Mobile players got. With recent trends, this isn’t entirely shocking news. Recent Sensor Tower reports have shown the gacha game sitting around the bottom of the list in terms of revenue. February’s table , posted on Reddit, was particularly grim. Its earnings dropped one-third between January and February, from $30,000 to $20,000 in total, and neither of those figures is really enough to keep a whole title afloat. Revived Witch released at the end of 2021, and did promise so

THOR ANNUAL #18 (1993)

Ron Marz writes all parts of this annual. It’s basically an old Tales of Asgard, but it’s got some very cool stylized art that looks a lot like Mike Mignola. I liked it! I didn’t like most 1993 annuals. The new character introduced in this one is Hrinmeer The Flame. He does get used a few times more, but not much. * This article was originally published here

Tarkov publicly shames 6,700 'scum of the earth' cheaters by publishing their nicknames after banning them

Image
Tarkov developer Battlestate Games is getting medieval with the game's cheaters. Not content with merely banning rogue players who make use of things like wallhacks and aimbots, the studio is now shaming them publicly, too. Techcrunch reports that Battlestate has banned 6,700 cheaters from Tarkov in the last week, and it's published every single one of their nicknames in an easy-to-read spreadsheet . Publishing the cheaters' names is meant to serve a dual purpose, both shaming the cheaters in a public space and showing non-cheaters that Battlestate is taking action. "We want honest players to see the nicknames of cheaters," a Battlestate spokesperson told Techcrunch, in order to "know that justice has been served". It's a practice that the studio intends to make a habit of, and there are already numerous spreadsheets filled with cheaters' names on the company's Twitter.   Battlestate has published several spreadsheets like
