What Does Broadband Cap Mean? Techopedia Explains Broadband Cap Although broadband caps are often so large that most users never come close to hitting them, services such as streaming video, file sharing and Internet radio often have the ability to easily push users over the limit. Those who use their broadband connections at high rates over long periods of time can impair the service of others. As a result, companies that enforce broadband caps have been accused of supporting the cable television channels that compete with streaming multimedia services, like Netflix, by restricting their customers’ unlimited access to streaming data....

Henry Cavill will return as the gray-haired hero, while Anya Chalotra and Freya Allan as back as Yennefer and Ciri, respectively. But of course, a new season means new characters. Who’s joining The Witcher?...
When Nintendo first announced the NES Classic Edition, one of the common responses was “It’s just a Raspberry Pi!” Which, yes, is true. It just misses the point that the NES Classic delivers a nostalgic experience through the presentation. It’s also one of the few legal ways to emulate the iconic games of that era. There are other devices one could buy that deliver the same experience, and even more, but they may not be on the up-and-up....
1. Heroes of Stolen Lands Mod: High Quality Portraits Pathfinder: Kingmaker does a lot right, but one area that it could improve itself in is character portraits. The portraits available aren’t terrible by any means — in fact, they’re quite good — but there aren’t many, and in a game where one player can design dozens and dozens of characters, that’s not a great trait. The Heroes of Stolen Lands mod simply fixes that problem by adding 234 new, high-quality portraits to the game....

Anthony “ZexRow” Colandro, a professional Fortnite player for Team SoloMid, has been banned from Twitch for 7 days following an interesting stream on the platform. During a broadcast, ZexRow chugged what appeared to be multiple Monster energy drinks, eventually resulting in a temporary ban from Twitch. The reason for the ban? Supposedly, he was displaying “self-harm” when feigning the consumption of multiple Monster energy drinks. Apparently some viewers in his chat were egging him on to continue drinking the energy drinks after the first two – so ZexRow filled the empty cans with water to make it seem like he was drinking even more of them....
In a recent interview with Yves Guillemot, CEO of Ubisoft, James Batchelor from Games Industry had the opportunity to chat about the often-blurred lines between politics and the content they produce. When asked directly if the games made at Ubisoft are meant to be political, Guillemot replies with the customary PR-approved line, “Our games have a goal to make you think about the different possibilities. We want to show the different opinions that exist and then you have to make your own....

Ex-creative director Alex Hutchinson, who worked on last year’s Far Cry 5, Tweeted out ‘RIP Pioneer’ alongside a link to the trailer from which the teaser came from. A similar post soon cropped up from Jonathan Cooper, a former Ubisoft animator. Pioneer was meant to be some kind of space exploration title, with Ubisoft planning on unveiling the title fully in 2017....

Not bad Chloe and Nadine, not bad at all. Closely behind, Codemasters’ F1 2017 overtakes the shocked marsupial utilising its KERS system to great effect, coming to a stop at number two....
The Uncharted movie is coming close, and Sony Pictures Entertainment has the promotional machine firing on all cylinders. This time around, we get to see a trailer labeled “final” and it’s definitely action-packed, showcasing plenty of stunts that make the film look quite bombastic. Of course, this includes the iconic cargo plane scene, which is basically lifted from Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception. You can watch it in a previous video that was revealed during Sony’s press conference at CES....
Cyberpunk 2077 likely isn’t coming to the Nintendo Switch because the game would be too much for the hardware, as stated by CD Projekt Red studio boss John Mamais (via DualShockers). In an interview with OnMSFT, Mamais fielded the question of a portable port. ‘The Switcher 3’ seemed ridiculous, given the scale and fidelity of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. CD Projekt Red rose to the challenge, and the game runs comfortably at 720p and 540p when docked and undocked, respectively....
