7 features that still make World of Warcraft awesome for relative newcomers like me in 2026 — as Blizzard Entertainment celebrates its 35th anniversary

September 2026 will mark the 35th anniversary of Blizzard Entertainment. World of Warcraft was launched in 2004, and the author initially avoided it due to social reservations. In 2024, the author embraced the game during the Mists of Pandaria Remix event. World of Warcraft features a fast-paced Tab-Target combat system and epic Raid dungeons with challenging bosses. The Mists of Pandaria Remix event allowed players to revisit past expansions, leading to the introduction of the Legion Remix event. The game offers a diverse range of playable Races and Classes, and recent updates have increased solo-friendly content, such as Delves in The War Within. Endgame content includes cosmetic hunting, gear customization, and various activities. The author is involved with the Tree of Hope Guild, enhancing their multiplayer experience. World of Warcraft: Midnight is set to release on March 3, 2026.

Android set to lead Google’s charge into the PC market

Google is considering a new initiative called Aluminium, which aims to adapt Android's features for laptops and desktops, focusing on ARM architecture and improving multitasking, keyboard-and-mouse input, and file management. Android has over 3 billion active devices globally, while ChromeOS has a low market share in the PC sector. Android has evolved with updates like Android 12L, enhancing usability on large screens, and real-world implementations like Samsung DeX show its potential as a desktop OS. However, challenges remain regarding app usability on larger displays, and improvements in performance, security, and enterprise readiness are needed. Google plans to develop a refined Desktop Mode, implement UX guidelines, establish a native Linux workspace, enhance file access, integrate audio features, and collaborate with OEMs for compatible hardware.

The new Painkiller is out now and it’s not great, but that’s okay because the old Painkiller still is and there’s a fantastic new mod that makes it look like a brand-new game

The latest Painkiller game has been released on Steam, continuing a trend of sequels that fail to capture the original's essence. It offers a competent but unremarkable co-op shooter experience, reminiscent of Doom, with decent graphics and smooth performance. The game has received a "mixed" user rating on Steam, with players expressing disappointment in its failure to deliver the promised experience. The original Painkiller from 2004 remains a cult classic, praised for its chaotic gameplay and unique style. Additionally, the RTX Remix mod for the original game has significantly enhanced its visuals, winning an award in Nvidia's RTX Remix contest, although it is still in development and has some stability issues. The new Painkiller does not stand out against contemporary titles, and the original is recommended as a worthwhile purchase for fans of the genre.
