Razer has served up another reimaging of one of their most popular products, this time with the Razer Blackwidow Elite. Of the many improvements on offer, you can expect the usual flashy RGB that Razer is known for, but also Hypershift key rebinding for unlimited macros, and so much more. The model we were sent features patented Razer Green switches that are rich with clicky goodness, but is it truly Elite? Posted Oct 11, 2018 by David Holmes
At long last, it’s time to take the fight to Omega in the Alphascape. The sentient super-weapon that dispatched Shinryu and chased Midgardsormr to Hydaelyn is ready to take on the Warrior of Light in the final tier of the eponymous raid series.

As if my prophecies have ever needed justification, a week after my column dropped Saturday Night Live had a Fortnite skit…There is nothing less cool to teens than a comedy show featuring political humor directed at old people!Posted Oct 10, 2018 by Tim Eisen
