1.3.2022

In Elden Ring, Even Hugs Can Be Dangerous
28.2.2022
Elden Ring, like many Souls games before it, can be a little coy when it comes to providing you with important information. Case in point, you’ve probably noticed a peculiar icon below your health, magic, and stamina bars depicting a red square with a down arrow. “Where the heck did that come...

The Witch Queen Is The Best Campaign Destiny's Ever Had
27.2.2022
I have never, since Destiny launched back in 2014, been able to categorically recommend it to anyone. Praise always came with caveats.

26.2.2022

Myslíte, že se Windows 11 nepovedl? Špatné byly i Windows Vista, 8 a 10 (komentář)
26.2.2022
Pokusím se o hodnocení Windows 11 v širším kontextu rodiny Windows. Čerstvý přírůstek po příchodu vnímal jako marketingový produkt, který má vydělat na oživení trhu s počítači. Očividně přitom není dopečený. Ve srovnání s předchůdcem nejen že nepřináší významnější inovace, ale dokonce určité

Some Of The Most Popular 'Ukraine Footage' Is Actually A Video Game
25.2.2022
