Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) warns that the global chip shortage could extend well into 2022 as demand remains extremely high. During a recent conference call, TSMC chief executive C.C. Wei told investors that demand continues to be high and “this shortage will continue throughout this year and maybe extended into 2022.” He also claims that geopolitical tensions caused the chip shortage and pushed clients to stockpile chips and build up their inventories....

Tunic’s big quirk is the fact that it doesn’t really tell you anything outside of the vague clues in the instruction manual pages you’ll find as you explore the world and progress through the game. It’s great, until something as menial as a fire attack from an enemy can see your furry fox friend burn up and die. In this guide, we’ll explain how to stop taking burn damage in Tunic, so you can continue on with your adventure and put those pesky enemies in their place....

The struggle between objectivity and sentimentality is even more relevant in today’s turbulent news cycle than it’s been in recent times. Is it truly better to seek out truth or comfort? Much like reality, Twin Mirror offers no easy answers. The trails we blaze may leave brush fires in our wake that threaten to grow and spread to the surrounding areas. The game may not be all that long or have the most original premise or setting, but the questions it asks are well worth pondering, regardless of if we appreciate the answers it reflects....

Two Elder Scrolls games are now playable with the Xbox Insider program, although the two games included probably aren’t what you expect. Most people are familiar with Skyrim, and Elder Scrolls fans should know Oblivion, Morrowind, Daggerfall, and Arena. But only the most dedicated fans will be familiar with the two games on offer here. The first game is Elder Scrolls Legend: Battlespire. It is an action RPG that was released in 1997 on MS-DOS....

Wondering what’s included in Uncharted 4’s Libertalia Collector’s and Special Editions? Then wonder no more. PlayStation Access has posted a new video taking you through the contents of both editions, offering a closer look at the 12″ Nathan Drake statue included in the Libertalia Edition, and the stickers and art book included in both.

The audience at an upcoming Undertale concert will have the ability to create their own Pacifist and Genocide routes, as they will be able to vote on the choices that the main character makes in order to decide the course of the story. One of the most important aspects of Undertale is the player’s capacity to kill or spare their enemies. The player can choose to spare all of the monsters that inhabit the Underground and make it to the end of the game without taking a single life....

Valorant, the competitive online shooter from League of Legends developer Riot Games, is quickly moving toward its summer release window and a potential beta. Riot continues to share bits of information about the game, assumedly as it confirms things internally. The latest example is a confirmation of some early Valorant character details. Specifically, that while Valorant will be launching with a healthy roster of 10 or more playable characters, not all of them will be immediately accessible....

Thanks to the SteamOS 3.0 operating system, the Steam Deck will be able to support “dynamically removable Steam Libraries” on SD cards. Users will be able to plug in their expandable storage card and get instant access to all the games stored on it via their library....

Jang-hyeon “TiZi” Hwan isn’t a well known name in the Overwatch League. At least, he wasn’t until he was tasked with the job of leading the Vancouver Titans to a championship appearance. If his strong play wasn’t enough for people to notice him, he made waves with his Winston impression when announced during the Grand Finals. Unfortunately, TiZi’s rise to fame has been short lived as the Titans were swept 4-0 by the Shock in the finals and Vancouver recently took to Twitter to announce Tizi’s release from the team....

Adam McKay got his first big break as a writer for Saturday Night Live in 1995 and eventually became a movie director and producer, teaming with fellow SNL alumnus Will Ferrell on hit comedies like Anchorman, Talladega Nights, Step Brothers and The Other Guys. In 2015, McKay turned toward real-life-based political satire with the Oscar-nominated The Big Short, about the lead-up to the financial crash of 2008, and now he sets his eye on former Vice President Dick Cheney in Vice....

While fans have eagerly awaited the next Super Smash Bros. Ultimate fighter’s announcement from Nintendo, much speculation has gone around about who it could be, up to even the likes of Master Chief. As of recent, some evidence suggests that Dante from the Devil May Cry series could be getting in on the Smash action soon enough, and it appears the evidence continues to stack given suggestive comments from one of Devil May Cry 5’s voice actors....

VRChat developer VRChat Inc. has announced plans to introduce anti-cheat detection. The next update will add support for Easy Anti-Cheat, a popular cheat detection tool used in a variety of games. The addition of anti-cheat is usually a good thing, but in this instance, it’s causing a problematic side effect. Once Easy Anti-Cheat is live, using mods on VRChat will be a bannable offense. Mods are an important part of VRChat that have been used for years....

If you had hoped to take refuge in your newly acquired LA Thieves operator skin while playing Warzone 2.0, well here is your heads up - as part of the game’s Season 01 Reloaded update, it’s about to get a whole lot more visible. Once upon a time, this ensemble from Call of Duty eSports team LA Thieves basically allowed wearers to become one with the shadows thanks to its all-black design (bar a red embossed “LA” on the chest)....

Ever since Ico set the trend in motion, video games have had a strong proclivity for companion-centric stories. This brand of enacted storytelling has captivated players the world over, giving them the starring role as the glue that holds friendships together. Teamwork and togetherness, two characters covering for each other’s weaknesses — the medium just can’t get enough of narratives like these. Sapling studio Punk Notion is the next to step up to this plate with Weakless, the story of two tree-like beings (called Weavlings) on a quest to protect the Tree of Life from corporate interests....
