I LOVE gaming – especially PC gaming. Heck, I haven’t actually played a console game in ages. My favorite PC gamers are FFX (Final Fantasy 10) and Rocket League – when people aren’t spamming “What a save!” at me for missing a save 😔
I cover a range of different PC gaming articles in this category, but I also have a series of articles discussing Rocket League if you’re interested in checking those out.
“Microtransactions“, “loot boxes” and “freemium” are all phrases that have (unfortunately) become common to us over the past 1-2 decades. These are all forms of ‘pay to win’, whereby games are designed so that you can sort of beat them for free – but it’s often much quicker to pay a small amount for a … Read more
While it’s recommended to buy a PC or laptop with as much RAM as possible, sometimes we don’t have that luxury. Sometimes we’re stuck with a 4GB system, and can’t easily upgrade its RAM. If this applies to you – and you still want to game on it – fear not. There are a number … Read more
I’m going to sound old now, but back in my day (when dinosaurs still roamed the earth?!), you could launch PC games with ease: you just double clicked the .exe shortcut, which was usually located on the desktop. Simple. Now, though, we seem to have a million launchers lying around, and games have to go … Read more

Rocket League is one of my favorite games: I have clocked up 1,000 hours so far, and I have no intention of giving up! But despite it being one of my favorites, I also regularly get annoyed and frustrated by it. The game just seems too difficult at times. Why do I win 5 games … Read more
Changing the language of your favorite game is a great way to learn a new language or just play in your native tongue. How can you change the language of a PC game? The easiest way to change the language of your PC games is to simply switch to a new language in the Windows … Read more
I love Rocket League. I got ‘slightly’ addicted to it in 2019. And when I say ‘slightly’… I mean that I have played it for almost 1,000 hours so far: Whoops. That’s 41½ entire days, or almost 6 entire weeks sat playing Rocket League! Ah well, it’s one of my favorite games, so I guess … Read more
Aim assist options come standard on a lot of console shooters. After all, it can be hard to quickly aim and hit targets when using a controller – this is much easier when using a mouse on a PC. So do PC games also offer aim assist, or is this a console-only feature? The short … Read more
After a long gaming session listening to your fans keep up with a red-hot PC, you might be wondering if gaming is damaging your computer. Gaming itself won’t hurt your PC and even overclocking is unlikely to do serious damage. Any use will cause wear and tear that will eventually wear down your PC components, … Read more
Egon once said you never want to cross the streams, but sometimes it makes sense to use Apple technology with Windows technology. Can you even combine AirPods and a gaming PC? All models of AirPods can work on a Windows PC with all of their features intact. However, you’re likely to experience some connectivity bugs along … Read more
