Fallout London, while «held together with duct tape» by the dev's own admission is an impressive machine nonetheless. Our news writer Joshua Wolens has been having a blast with the behemoth Fallout 4 mod when it's not been booting him to desktop, and I'm chuffed as chips (I felt a British saying was on-theme) to see it stick the landing as well as a mod can be expected to.
Elon Musk is a controversial figure in the online community, or really, any community. Whether you think he's a super genius the likes of which the world has never seen, or simply a grifter that ruins perfectly functional social media websites, you'll find strong opinions about the owner of X/Twitter on both sides.
When Shadows of Doubt hit early access last April, we quickly became believers in the potential of its procedurally generated cities and crime solving simulation sandbox.

As a critic, it's my job to generally treat all things with grace—but I feel pretty confident saying that the Borderlands movie, which launched to shocking reviews, has not done well. I trust the opinion of my fellow PC Gamer writer Joshua Wolens who, having sat down and watched the whole thing, dubbed it «tasteless mush that no one involved seemed interested in saving» and «an excuse to buy a bucket of popcorn.»
Quite how AMD classes the Ryzen 9 7945HX as a mobile chip is beyond me. The clue's in that HX-suffix: H stands for 'high-performance mobile APU', and X stands for 'Extreme', which broadly signifies higher clock speeds and greater power consumption than your common-or-garden Ryzen APU.
